Kanye West is facing a new lawsuit from Murphy Aficionado, a former Yeezy project manager, who alleges that he was unlawfully terminated and not compensated for his work. The lawsuit details numerous disturbing allegations, including claims that West made antisemitic and racist remarks in the workplace, engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior with his wife in front of Aficionado, and displayed disturbing conduct such as wearing a swastika and showing nude photos of his ex-wife. Aficionado's allegations are similar to those made by Lauren Pisciotta, West's former personal assistant, who sued him last month for sexual assault and other abuses. This lawsuit is one of several filed against West by former employees who allege discriminatory behavior, wrongful termination, and unpaid wages.

A female student in Iran was arrested for removing her clothing in protest of the country's strict dress code. Amnesty International is calling for her immediate release and is concerned about reports that she was beaten and harassed during her arrest. The incident occurred at Islamic Azad University in Tehran, where the student was reportedly harassed for wearing an improper hijab. While some Iranian officials have alleged that the student has mental health issues, activists maintain that her actions were a deliberate protest against the regime's control over women's bodies. This event is reminiscent of the 2022 protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, who was arrested for allegedly violating the dress code.
