Kanye West has been absent from the United States for several months, raising questions about his reasons for being away. While his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, and their four children recently fled their Calabasas home during the California wildfires, sources say West’s absence has something to do with him avoiding his parenting duties. Don’t have to give.
Instead, it is reportedly linked to ongoing legal troubles in the US. West has faced several lawsuits, preventing him from returning to the United States.
Kanye West’s recent international travels have raised questions. He has been spotted traveling the world with his wife Bianca Sensori, visiting destinations from Tuscany to Paris and even Russia.
Despite growing legal issues in the US, West’s time abroad appears to be an effort to stay away from the country. Sources close to West told the Daily Mail that his absence “has nothing to do with his children” but “has to do with the multiple lawsuits he is facing in the States.”
West is facing a wrongful termination and sexual harassment lawsuit filed by his former assistant Lauren Pisciotta. She claimed that West repeatedly sexually harassed her before firing her.
The lawsuit, filed in June, came at the same time as West began spending more time abroad. Pisciotta’s legal team added more allegations in October, including claims of sexual harassment before he began working for West.
Despite his legal battles, West is enjoying his time with Sensory. The couple were spotted celebrating Sensori’s 30th birthday in Dubai, where they dined with her family at a rooftop restaurant.
On January 5, they were also in the Maldives, where a video posted on social media showed Sensi and West in a very intimate and playful moment on the dance floor. His actions, although no longer surprising to the public, raise further questions about West’s priorities and his choice to remain outside the US.
West’s absence comes amid troubling news regarding media mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who is currently facing federal charges including sex trafficking. Reports suggest that West is avoiding the US for fear of getting caught up in the ongoing legal issues surrounding Diddy.
“With all this stuff with Diddy, Kanye is scared,” sources told the Daily Mail, indicating West’s concerns about his legal battles overlapping with Diddy’s.
