Kanye
West
goes
by
many
titles:
producer,
artist,
and
founder
of
Donda
Academy.
Named
after
his
late
mother,
the
now
closed
school
was
a
Christian
private
school
in
Simi
Valley,
California.
It
isn’t
the
easiest
thing
to
know
what
attending
the
school
was
like
considering
the
mandated
NDAs
parents
had
to
sign
to
enroll
their
children,
but
chances
are
the
students
didn’t
make
much
fun
of
each
other’s
clothes
considering
that
the
uniform
code
mandated
Balenciaga
—
sure,
your
shoes
may
be
goofy,
but
so
are
everyone
else’s:
Fashion
choices
aren’t
the
only
thing
that
have
Ye’s
structuring
of
Donda
Academy
under
a
microscope.
Baller
Alert
has
coverage:
According
to
court
documents
obtained
by
TMZ,
a
Los
Angeles
judge
has
given
West
30
days
to
appear
in
person
for
a
deposition.
The
ruling
comes
after
repeated
efforts
by
the
plaintiff
to
secure
the
rapper’s
participation.The
lawsuit,
filed
in
April
2024
by
Trevor
Phillips,
a
former
employee
of
Donda
Academy,
accuses
West
of
creating
a
hostile
and
discriminatory
work
environment.Phillips
claims
he
experienced
harassment
while
employed
at
the
school.
In
his
filing,
he
wrote
that
West
“spew
forth
hate,
profess
antisemitic
tropes
and
lies,
threaten
the
LGBTQ+
community,
and
even
on
one
occasion,
almost
sexually
stimulate
himself.”
It
would
be
easy
to
point
to
Ye’s
Heil
Hitler
track
and
accompanying
music
video
or
the
one
he
did
with
Lil
Pump
where
he
declared
that
“I’m
a
sick
f*ck”,
but
I’m
generally
against
the
use
of
song
lyrics
as
evidence
that
a
person
is
a
piece
of
shit.
Thankfully,
you
don’t
have
to
search
hard
to
find
Kanye
West’s
antisemitic
footsteps
on
Twitter
and
YouTube:
Now,
does
this
prove
that
he
was
descriminatory
at
the
school?
No,
but
that
deposition
could
provide
a
hell
of
a
lot
of
leeway!
Ye
has
had
a
longstanding
reputation
for
blurting
out
whatever
is
on
his
mind
when
the
cameras
are
rolling.
Question,
do
you
think
this
link
will
take
you
to
the
infamous
“George
Bush
doesn’t
like
Black
people”
blurt
or
the
Taylor
Swift
snub?
Oddly
enough,
neither!
It
was
the
time
Alex
Jones
had
to
quickly
distance
himself
from
Ye
because
he
was
being
too
Hitler-friendly.
Yeah,
whatever
lawyer
gets
tasked
with
deposing
Yedolf
Yitler
is
about
to
have
the
easiest
job
ever.
