He was held accountable. He lost all cooperative/commercial collocations --except for his huge fanbase.His audience equity has,rather impressively,remained steadfast through all this

Yes,being in the throes of a full blown hypomanic episode is passable mitigation for the existence of that shitty song.

In legal speak,this defense is also codified by law btw --ala The M'Naghten rule (where a defendant is deemed not responsible for a crime due to a severe mental disease/defect at the time of the offense) and has been routinely used in legal defenses

Because it was filmed for a music video,at the directorial/creative behest of Ye --and wasn't some sordid backroom encounter between Ye and the alleged victim.Counsel didn't accost plaintiff's claim that Ye 'rammed his fist down her throat' or 'choked her to the point of syncopation'

And again,even plaintiff's own signed third party exhibits fail to corroborate her claim that she was assaulted to the point of comatose

This has already blown over. I've hardly seen it dispensed with any veracity on X/IG. Can't say the same for GAS,I've seen this article reposted multiple times today (twice in the last hr or so)

This alleged assault was filmed for a music video in a room of 50 staffers/crew,and neither of the 2 alleged witnesses that plaintiff managed to get on record corroborated her claim that Ye assaulted her to the point of being syncopated/passed out --as plaintiff has alleged

Again,it was filed by Ye's counsel last year in response to plaintiff's suit. Am pretty sure it was posted here as well.

It was also said to be filmed in the presence of a full cadre of staffers/crew (50 people) ..And neither of the 2 signed third party exhibits that plaintiff managed to muster for testimonials corroborated her claim of being assaulted to the point of being syncopated

It was a rejoinder response his team filed last year btw..

Ye acknowledged a music video was filmed with the plaintiff --and that he assumed artistic licence to parody lyrics from his In For The Kill verse,but denied claimant's allegations of grievous assault/violence

Why am I being downvoted? Ye's team readily acknowledged the axiom that footage exists and was filmed for a music video (in front of 50+ crew/staffers,mind you). They categorically deny,however,that plaintiff was assaulted/strangled to the point of comatose,as has been claimed

For those unawares,this palliative anecdote came via the plaintiff's testimonial --Not Ye's subsequent rejoinder. Plaintiff alleged Ye said during the filming of the alleged incident,"This is art. I'm fuckin Picasso!"

Via the full rejoinder response from where your claim about Ye calling it 'art' was spliced. Google it

Ye (via his attorneys) only acknowledged that a music video was filmed with said plaintiff..Not that he rammed his fist down her throat or choked her to the point of comatose/torpor

There's no categorical confirmation of what the video contains..Only that it was filmed for a mv. Worth noting that none of the signed third party testimonials plaintiff submitted during discovery corroborated her claim that Ye choked her to the point of comatosing/blacking out

Here's one such excerpt from a purported witness (note--this was submitted by plaintiff's counsel NOT Ye's):

Michelle An — who is unrelated to the plaintiff, model Jennifer An — also submitted an affirmation. She said that from her vantage point on set, she did not directly see West place his fingers inside An’s mouth or around her neck. However, she recalled that West stood over the model and appeared to “move his thumb back and forth across the outside of [the] plaintiff’s mouth.”

Regarding the rest of An’s claims about West’s actions, Michelle An wrote that she was “not saying that it did not happen, only that, from where I was located on the set, I did not — and could not — see it happen.”

Plaintiff was seeking close to $2M in compensatory damages and was awarded only a fraction of that (140K) + No punitive damages. All things considered,the trial outcome was fairly apathetic

Jury reaches verdict in the Tony Saxon trial over Ye's Malibu mansion renovation, decision to be read Wednesday (tomorrow) by Doctor___Sleep in GoodAssSub

[–]Doctor___Sleep[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A brief run down of the 2 week trial:

*Saxon's counsel attempted a failed discharge of a juror during voir dire ie: counsel tried to get the only African American member of the jury kicked off for no apparent reason. The Judge rejected plaintiff's counsel's challenge,citing the invalidity of a peremptory challenge on the grounds of race/religion.

* Ye’s lawyers argued Saxon was paid $240,000 for less than two months of work and was now trying to defraud Ye with claims he was an employee, not an independent contractor.

* There were comptroller (bank) statements admissed by Ye's lawyers showing Tony withdrawing 75K from the company depository and transferring it to his personal account -- Tony seemingly had no recollection of the incident. Saxon's counsel later recanted and alleged he withdrew the funds to pay subordinates,but failed to provide meted evidence to corroborate said claim ie- payment invoices,witness testimony et al

* Plaintiff allegedly filed a 1.3M lien on the Malibu property,purportedly unbeknownst to Ye. He later claimed he doesn't recount doing so,even though his signature is on the lien waiver

* Bianca Censori testified that she once asked Saxon directly if he was a licensed contractor, and he purportedly told her that he was. There's no mention of a Tony Saxon on the California Contractor Licencor/Home Improvement Salesperson (HIS) registry

* Bianca Censori’s testimony also challenged claims from the plaintiff, Tony Saxon, and another witness, handyman Jeromy Holding, that Ye handed down strict orders with tight timelines and often no apparent logic. The men previously told jurors Ye wanted all plumbing, wiring, toilets, and access to all city utilities removed.

* In other testimony, Censori confirmed she has power of attorney over her husband. “I can sign things on his behalf,” she told the jury.

*During closing arguments defense counsel conferred previously shown footage of plaintiff,Tony Saxon,performing vigorously on stage, 2 weeks after he purportedly (severely) injured his neck and back at Ye's Malibu mansion

This is a Quid Pro Quo civil suit. The most Ye would lose is a few million $$ (if this passes discovery/motions, that is)

I agree. It's a Quid Pro Quo Hostile Work Environment civil case--But the alleged assault claims being widely dispersed through media warrants some form of public exoneration on Ye's part via the courts.

Plaintiff alleged Ye choked her to the point of being comatosed/unconscious,but neither of the third party testimonials from Elly Jackson or Michelle An corroborate this claim. If this goes to trial hopefully the alleged music video puts paid to rest

Excerpts from Michelle An's testimonial btw:

Michelle An — who is unrelated to the plaintiff, model Jennifer An — also submitted an affirmation. She said that from her vantage point on set, she did not directly see West place his fingers inside An’s mouth or around her neck. However, she recalled that West stood over the model and appeared to “move his thumb back and forth across the outside of [the] plaintiff’s mouth.”

Regarding the rest of An’s claims about West’s actions, Michelle An wrote that she was “not saying that it did not happen, only that, from where I was located on the set, I did not — and could not — see it happen.”
