On Friday (Nov. 22), TMZ broke the news that Ye is facing another lawsuit. This time, model Jennifer An is accusing the rapper and producer of gagging and choking her during the set of a music video in 2010. According to the suit, An, a former America's Next Top Model contestant, claims she attended the shoot for Ye and La Roux's "In for the Kill." While there, the Donda creator took a strange liking to her, allegedly telling the crew, "Give me the Asian girl."
An claims Ye had her sit across from him while the camera was directed on her. He then began to strangle her with both hands and smothered her face before he "rammed several fingers down her throat, continuously moved them in and out, and gagged her to emulate forced oral sex."
An claims Ye yelled, "This is art. This is f**king art. I am like Picasso," following the wild stunt, which she claims was more akin to "pornographic gagging/deep throat/BDSM fetishes" than a music video. The scene nor An made the final cut for the video for the song, which only featured Ye on the remix.
An is reportedly suing Ye and UMG for gender-motivated violence.
