Kanye West Sued For Choking Out Model

Model Jenn An is suing Kanye West for assaulting her in 2010.

An, who appeared on the 13 cycle of America’s Next Top Model, was hired to take part in the video shoot for Ye’s remix of La Roux’s “In For the Kill.”

An alleges things turned left when Kanye yelled, “Give me the Asian girl,” and then started filming a surprisingly violent scene with her in NYC’s Chelsea Hotel.

Ye sat across from An, who was wearing skimpy lingerie.  He then began strangling her with both hands before “smothering” her face.  Then he “rammed several fingers down her throat, continuously moved them in and out, and gagged her to emulate forced oral sex.”  This went on for at least a minute, and An blacked out.

When he was done, he yelled, “This is art. This is f*cking art. I am like Picasso.”

The scene didn’t appear in the video, and An says La Roux told people she had seen some  “upsetting, unsettling” behavior on set.

An is seeking damages for gender-motivated violence and also names Universal Music Group in the suit.
