Kanye West’s strange 2022 has become even harder to comprehend, following allegations he showed his Yeezy employees his own sex tapes during company meetings.
West’s troubling, bizarre, and highly confronting treatment of his workers at Yeezy has seen another explosive bombshell drop, just weeks on from previous reports suggesting he was inspired by Nazis and skinheads in his work ethic. The latest allegations, however, paint a far more disturbing picture.
Rolling Stone shared an open letter from Yeezy employees to parent company Adidas, alleging West attempted to control and bully staff using pornographic content, including some of his own. Yeezy employees also accused Adidas of ignoring its moral compass when dealing with the matters.
The open letter alleges West showed pornographic films in meetings before discussing said videos, as well as showing intimate photos of Kim Kardashian to staff members. Former team members insist they reported West’s problematic behavior to Adidas, but the company “turned their moral compass off”.
“He has, in years past, exploded at women in the room with offensive remarks, and would resort to sexually disturbing references when providing design feedback. This type of response from a brand partner is one that Adidas employees should never be subjected to, nor should Adidas leadership ever tolerate.”
A former Yeezy staff member from the Qinyuan, China factory said there was no accountability, with stories told of his strange and inappropriate remarks to workers, including asking one female worker to “make me a shoe I can f*ck.”
West having an addiction to porn seems to be public knowledge, with him sharing his own celibacy and adult film-shunning challenge on social media. These continued stories of West build an image beyond just normal levels of troubling, but Adidas has said it will not comment on the alleged incidents in public according to Rolling Stone.
