坎耶·維斯特在新的訴訟中被指控威脅要把學(xué)生關(guān)在籠子里
As it turns out, Kanye West may not be the best boss in the world. Trevor Phillips, a former employee of the rapper's Donda Academy and Yeezy fashion brand, filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles on Tuesday that accuses West of racism, homophobia, antisemitism, and harassment against both the school's students and employees like Phillips.
事實證明，坎耶·維斯特可能不是世界上最好的老板。特雷弗·菲利普斯是這位說唱歌手的Donda Academy和Yeezy時尚品牌的前雇員，周二在洛杉磯提起訴訟，指控韋斯特種族主義、同性戀恐懼癥、反猶主義，并對學(xué)校的學(xué)生和菲利普斯這樣的員工進行騷擾。
"From the start of Phillips’ tenure working at Yeezy and Donda, it was immediately apparent to him, and others, that Kanye treated the Black staff considerably worse than white employees," according to the lawsuit. "Even when class was in session, Kanye would scream and berate Black employees, while never even as much raising his tone at the white staff."
“從菲利普斯在Yeezy和Donda工作的一開始，他和其他人就立即意識到，坎耶對待黑人員工的態(tài)度比白人員工差得多，”訴訟稱。“即使在上課的時候，坎耶也會尖叫和斥責(zé)黑人員工，而對白人員工卻從來沒有提高過語氣。”
Phillips' lawsuit also alleges that the plaintiff saw West "spew forth hate, profess antisemitic tropes and lies, threaten the LGBTQ+ community, and even on one occasion, almost sexually stimulate himself." Phillips also allegedly witnessed West harassing Donda Academy students by threatening to shave their heads and lock them in a cage.
菲利普斯的訴訟還稱，原告看到韋斯特“散布仇恨，宣揚反猶主義的言辭和謊言，威脅LGBTQ+社區(qū)，甚至有一次幾乎對自己進行性刺激。”菲利普斯還聲稱目擊了韋斯特騷擾東達學(xué)院的學(xué)生，威脅要剃掉他們的頭發(fā)，并把他們關(guān)在籠子里。
Representatives for West did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly's request for comment.
韋斯特的代表沒有立即回應(yīng)《娛樂周刊》的置評請求。
Phillips was originally hired in 2022 to work at Yeezy, West's fashion brand, but was eventually directed to also work with Donda Academy, the Christian K-12 school founded by West earlier that year.
菲利普斯最初于2022年受聘于韋斯特的時尚品牌Yeezy，但最終又被安排到當(dāng)年早些時候韋斯特創(chuàng)辦的基督教K-12學(xué)校東達學(xué)院工作。
After West talked about how much he admired Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and hated Jewish people in December 2022, his business relationships with brands like Adidas collapsed, and "West's wealth nosedived," according to the lawsuit. With Yeezy's accounts frozen by Adidas, Phillips was paid with funds from Donda Academy and started working there as well.
根據(jù)訴訟，在韋斯特于2022年12月談到他多么欽佩納粹領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人阿道夫·希特勒并憎恨猶太人之后，他與阿迪達斯等品牌的商業(yè)關(guān)系破裂，“韋斯特的財富急劇下降”。由于Yeezy的賬戶被阿迪達斯凍結(jié)，菲利普斯得到了Donda Academy的資金，并開始在那里工作。
The lawsuit also details a few specific incidents of West's strange behavior. In one meeting with both Donda Academy staff and two students, the lawsuit claims that, "Kanye started to openly discuss how he only likes to date white women. Then addressing the two school children, Kanye told them that he wanted them to shave their heads and that he intended to put a jail at the school — and that they could be locked in cages. The staff quickly distracted the children, and escorted them out of the room."
該訴訟還詳細說明了韋斯特奇怪行為的一些具體事件。訴訟稱，在與唐達學(xué)院的工作人員和兩名學(xué)生的一次會面中，“坎耶開始公開討論他如何只喜歡和白人女性約會。然后，坎耶對兩個學(xué)生說，他想讓他們剃光頭，他打算在學(xué)校里建一個監(jiān)獄——他們可以被鎖在籠子里。工作人員很快分散了孩子們的注意力，并把他們護送出了房間。”
Another incident detailed in the lawsuit involved West allegedly inviting Phillips to meet him alone at the Nobu Hotel in Los Angeles. When the two were by themselves in a hotel room, the lawsuit claims that West (dressed in the same black outfit that he wore during his 2022 interview with Alex Jones) spewed more antisemitic rants, saying “I hate Jewish people" and "Hitler was great," among other things.
訴訟中詳述的另一件事是韋斯特據(jù)稱邀請菲利普斯單獨在洛杉磯Nobu酒店見面。訴訟稱，當(dāng)兩人單獨在酒店房間里時，韋斯特(穿著他在2022年接受亞歷克斯·瓊斯采訪時穿的那套黑色衣服)發(fā)表了更多的反猶言論，說“我討厭猶太人”、“希特勒很偉大”等。
The lawsuit also claims that he sexually harassed Phillips during this meeting, talking about porn and orgies while he moved his hands in a masturbatory motion. Fearful for his daughter and his younger brother (who were both students at Donda Academy) and reluctant to disappoint his mother, who also worked at Donda and helped get him the job with West, Phillips says that he stayed at the hotel with his boss until 1 a.m.
訴訟還稱，他在這次會面中對菲利普斯進行了性騷擾，一邊用手做手淫的動作，一邊談?wù)撋楹涂駳g。菲利普斯擔(dān)心自己的女兒和弟弟(他們都是東達學(xué)院的學(xué)生)，又不愿讓他的母親失望，他的母親也在東達學(xué)院工作，并幫助他得到了韋斯特的工作。菲利普斯說，他和老板在酒店里呆到了凌晨1點。
Phillips alleges that he was repeatedly abused and humiliated in front of other employees and staff, and was never paid termination or severance after Donda Academy shut down in August 2023. West has since said he will reopen the school at some future date.
菲利普斯聲稱，他在其他員工面前多次受到虐待和羞辱，而且在2023年8月東達學(xué)院關(guān)閉后，他從未得到過解雇費或遣散費。韋斯特后來表示，他將在未來的某個時間重新開放這所學(xué)校。
