Per the legal papers, West and Yiannopoulos allegedly used racist language and called their staffers, some of whom were as young as 14 years old, "slaves." The "Heartless" artist reportedly made the workers to sign non-disclosure agreements, and threatened to fire the minors and refusing to pay them if they didn't.

The employees, who were made to work long hours into the night, claimed West used offensive terms in team group chats that referenced their age, race, gender, s----- orientation and national origin. One person alleged Yiannopoulos sent a Black/brown skin emoji to an African American staffer and called another member of the team a school shooter.

Ye and Bianca Censori called [her] wanting to discuss the orgy (five-some) they had participated in the day before,” the papers stated.

Pisciotta also alleged West would ask people to do inappropriate tasks for him. "Later that evening at the office, Kanye West a.k.a. Ye asked his wife and other female guests to perform oral s-- on him and his male guests in the office changing room. During this same time period, Kanye West a.k.a. Ye asked design assistants at the Yeezy/Gap office why [Pisciotta] would not want to have s-- with him," the documents claimed of the situation.

TMZ obtained the court documents.
