The two have been at loggerheads for years over alleged labor code violations by West and his company.
In 2021, Leslie slammed West and his fashion brand for failing to comply with the California Labor Code due to a policy that misclassified his workers as independent contractors, depriving them of wages and other benefits normally received by workers.
At the time, she accused the “All of the Lights” rapper of not paying her for mandatory trips to and from rural locations, including Cody, Wyoming and Paris, France.
He also accused West of failing to reimburse him for his cell phone, internet usage and other expenses associated with mandatory travel, all of which he needed to perform his duties efficiently, as reported by Explosion.

In addition to the court battle with Leslie, West allegedly believes a former employee who threatened to institutionalize him has followed him.
Pictures and videos obtained by Daily Mail show Kanye’s former trainer Harley Pasternak in the lobby of the hotel where West and his children are staying.
While speaking to the outlet, sources considered Pasternak’s presence “highly suspect”. Insiders expressed concern, stating, “We have great concerns about what this creepy operation is doing at the Ye hotel. We are very concerned about his motives and intentions.”
The source added: “This is the man who threatened to ‘threaten Ye to Zombieland.’ Why did he suddenly appear here?”

In November 2016, West faced hospitalization for temporary psychosis at Harley Pasternak’s residence in West Hollywood. The incident was reportedly caused by lack of sleep and extreme dehydration following a period of intense Twitter activity, political rants and canceled concerts.
At the time, the “Rawayy” singer spent nine days at UCLA Medical Center’s Resnick Neuropsychiatric Unit during her recovery.
Months after his recovery in 2017, Pasternak praised West’s fitness and health, stating: “I’ve been working with Kanye for 13 or 14 years, He’s a really fit guy. … Kanye is on. He is exercising. He eats well and he has a great family.”
The celebrity personal trainer added: “But he’s really a creative person. We would go on these walks and have great conversations about music and architecture.”
On his 2018 album, “Ye,” West appeared to confirm his bipolar diagnosis, later referring to it as a “superpower” during a radio interview. However, the rapper later suggested the wrong diagnosis during a conversation with Donald Trump in October 2018.

In subsequent years, West has insisted that he was “mentally misdiagnosed” and pointed to Pasternak as the alleged culprit. In November 2022, the “Praise God” hitmaker leaked a text message in which Pasternak reportedly threatened to re-institute her following Western anti-Semitic rants.
In the alleged text, Pasternak wrote: “First, you and I sat down and had a friendly and open conversation, but you didn’t use swear words, and everything that was discussed was based on facts and not crazy things that stupid friend. you told you, or you see it in tweets.”

It continued, “Second option. I’ve institutionalized you again where they cure your crap, and you’re back in Zombieland forever. Playdates with the kids will never be the same.”
West, citing this message, claimed he had been “mentally misdiagnosed” in 2016, emphasizing his commitment to standing up for his truth despite the possible consequences.
He stated: “What should be clear by now is that I was raised to stand up for my truth regardless of the consequences. So I’ll say this again I’ve been mentally misdiagnosed and almost out of my mind to make myself a well-behaved, manageable celebrity.”
Well, at least this legal issue is behind him.
