An alleges West choked her simulating oral sex on set
Jennifer An, a former America's Next Top Model contestant, says Kanye West choked her and pretended to perform oral sex during the 2010 shoot for La Roux's "In For The Kill" at New York's Chelsea Hotel.
She described the experience as shocking and said, "I was more frozen, it's like 'I could lose my job,'"
West's lawyers do not deny the encounter took place but claim it was all part of a performance inspired by American Psycho, and An said she was given no direction and did not know what was going to happen.
An sued West under NYC law
An filed a lawsuit in 2024 under New York City's Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act.
Evidence includes Instagram messages where La Roux called the incident "I could never forget that, it was horrific." and said West "[He] knew exactly what he was doing; he thought it was funny."
West's team wants the case dismissed, arguing it was creative expression protected by free speech.
The case is still awaiting trial.
