This week Kanye West called for peace after terrorizing his family, fans and rap colleagues for months on end [click here if you missed that].
Now we know why Ye has had a change of heart: He's has been spending time in Spain at a mental health treatment center...
From In Touch
Kanye West is currently receiving treatment at a retreat in Spain and will continue to until the end of the month, In Touch can exclusively report.
Ye’s lawyer, Eduardo Martorell, revealed the news as part of the musician’s court battle with his former employee Benjamin Provo.
As In Touch first reported, Ye, 47, was ordered to be deposed by Benjamin after months of back and forth.
In the new filing on Tuesday, May 20, Ye’s new attorney claimed the entertainer was “unequivocally offered to appear for deposition today, with one accommodation – that it be taken remotely. That was it. No further conditions were attached.”
Ye’s lawyer claimed Benjamin and his legal team refused to proceed with a remote deposition.
In the filing, Ye’s lawyer said the musician’s doctor “of the past nine years specifically stated within a letter that, in his medical opinion, Ye should continue to receive treatment at a retreat he is attending until the end of May in Mallorca, Spain and that any depositions should be taken remotely.” Ye and his wife, Bianca Censori, have been spotted around Spain for weeks.
In addition, Ye’s lawyer said the owner of the retreat Ye is attending “also recommend via written letter that [Ye] stay at the retreat.”
His lawyer argued, “Once more, other than requesting the accommodation that the deposition take place remotely, Defendant Ye was willing, ready, and able to appear for his deposition today. Despite the fact [Benjamin’s] counsel refused to enter into a protective order. Despite the fact he was at a retreat. Despite the fact he is 10,000 miles away.”
Ye said Benjamin also canceled the deposition of Bianca, 30, only 15 minutes prior to the deposition.
In court documents, Benjamin alleged Ye had a disdain towards black authors and employees.
The complaint claimed, “Specifically, in or around mid-2023, Kanye required that anyone associated with Donda dispose of books related to Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X and other prominent figures in the Black community. Further, Kanye regularly expressed negative beliefs associated with prominent Black leaders that advocated for or sought to advance the Black community. Such offensive opinions were particularly troubling to [Benjamin], who is unapologetically Black.”
Benjamin claimed Ye treated his non-Black employees differently than his Black employees.
