Kanye West and his former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, are facing accusations of fostering a hostile work environment, among other claims, in a recent lawsuit. However, the new legal action specifically targets West's ex-aide.

The plaintiffs, four minors hired to develop an app for the *Power* rapper to promote *Vultures 2*, allege that Yiannopoulos, 39, began harassing them after they voiced concerns.

"[Milo's] harassment and communications have included online posts and videos harassing [Shemar] with threats to ruin his career and reputation," the lawsuit claims.

Additionally, Yiannopoulos reportedly sent one of the plaintiffs a "harassing and verbally abusive text," despite their lawyers urging him not to.

According to court documents obtained by *In Touch*, the names of the plaintiffs have been withheld to protect their identities. 

Through their attorney, the minors expressed their concerns: "The minor plaintiffs, proceeding under John Doe designations, are fearful that [Milo] or the other defendants will reveal their identities, subjecting them to online harassment to intimidate them into dropping the lawsuit."

This case follows a previous lawsuit filed by the minors in June, accusing Kanye, Milo, and Yeezy LLC of creating a toxic work environment and alleging forced labor, cruel treatment, fraud, and more.
