Kanye West’s fashion company, Yeezy, has filed a lawsuit against a former summer intern, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The lawsuit, filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, accuses Ryan of posting confidential photos on his Instagram account in violation of a nondisclosure agreement he signed. Yeezy claims the posts break the terms of that contract, which prohibits sharing confidential information on social media.
The Hollywood Reporter says the agreement includes a $500,000 liquidated damages provision, which sets an upfront amount for a breach. Yeezy is reportedly seeking to enforce that amount.
The company alleges Ryan shared non public images and did not take them down even after receiving cease and desist letters. The Hollywood Reporter noted that the Instagram account under his username currently shows zero posts.
Beyond the damages, Yeezy is also asking for punitive damages, claiming it believes he acted maliciously. The suit further seeks an injunction that would order him to turn over the images and bar him from making similar posts in the future.
These are allegations in a lawsuit, and Baller Alert has not seen a response from Ryan.
