坎耶·维斯特的前保安起诉他歧视黑人员工和非法解雇

Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, is facing allegations from a former security guard that he subjected Black employees to “less favorable treatment than their White counterparts.”
这位艺术家原名坎耶·韦斯特，他正面临一名前保安的指控，称他对黑人员工的待遇“不如白人同事”。

In a new lawsuit filed by Benjamin Deshon Provo — who worked security for West, 46, at both his private school Donda Academy and at a warehouse where the creative stored his Yeezy brand clothing — the security guard accuses West of having “frequently screamed at and berated Black employees” and firing him for refusing to cut his dreadlocks.
Benjamin deson Provo是现年46岁的West的私人学校Donda Academy和他存放Yeezy品牌服装的仓库的保安。在他提起的一项新诉讼中，保安指控West“经常对黑人员工大喊大叫”，并因他拒绝剪脏辫而解雇了他。

It marks the most recent complaint against West, who as of earlier this month, is already facing a complaint from another employee who claimed he suffered “severe discrimination, harassment” while working for him at the Donda Academy school and as part of his Yeezy brand.
这是针对韦斯特的最新投诉，截至本月早些时候，他已经面临另一名员工的投诉，该员工声称，他在Donda Academy学校为他工作期间，以及作为他的Yeezy品牌的一部分，遭受了“严重的歧视和骚扰”。

A rep for West did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on April 27.
4月27日，韦斯特的代表没有立即回应《人物》杂志的置评请求。

As for the most recent complaint — filed Friday, April 26, in Los Angeles — it notes that Provo began working for the Vultures rapper around August 2021, before spending six months at Donda Academy. The school then moved to a new location, where he was then “assigned additional job duties as a result of a lack of staffing.” He also performed security services for West's Sunday Service events and at his Yeezy warehouse.
至于最近的投诉——4月26日星期五在洛杉矶提起——它指出，普罗沃在2021年8月左右开始为秃鹫乐队的说唱歌手工作，然后在Donda学院呆了六个月。学校随后搬到了一个新的地点，在那里，他“因为人手不足而被分配了额外的工作职责”。他还为韦斯特的周日礼拜活动和他的Yeezy仓库提供安全服务。

The plaintiff claims he was asked to place himself and paparazzi “in harm’s way” by snatching cameras, and that separately, West 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.”
原告声称，他被要求把自己和狗仔队“置于危险之中”，抢夺相机，另外，韦斯特要求“任何与Donda有关的人处理与马丁·路德·金、马尔科姆·艾克斯和其他黑人社区杰出人物有关的书籍。”

The complaint also claims that Provo noticed “a stark difference in the way Kanye treated Plaintiff and other Black employees” compared to their ”non-Black counterparts.” It also alleges he was paid less than non-Black employees “for no discernible reason,” and that West was “always abrupt, abrasive, and demeaning of Plaintiff and his Black counterparts.”
诉状还称，普罗沃注意到“坎耶对待原告和其他黑人员工的方式与他们的“非黑人同事”截然不同”。起诉书还称，韦斯特的薪酬低于非黑人员工，“没有明显的原因”，而且韦斯特“总是唐突、粗鲁、贬低原告和他的黑人同事”。

When complaining about the pay disparity to direct manager John Hicks, Provo allegedly received the response: “Don’t bring up money to Ye. He doesn’t like to talk about money.”
据称，当普罗沃向直接经理约翰•希克斯抱怨薪酬差距时，他得到的回应是:“别跟叶提钱的事。他不喜欢谈论钱。”

The security guard also saw a “decrease in his paychecks” at one point shortly after raising complaints, something he claims his non-Black colleagues did not experience, as he was told by Hicks that West “can’t afford security right now.”
在提出投诉后不久，这名保安还发现“他的薪水减少了”，他声称他的非黑人同事没有经历过这种情况，因为希克斯告诉他，韦斯特“现在负担不起保安费用”。
