La Roux Backs Model in Kanye West Choking Allegation With New Affidavits
A model, Jennifer An, alleges Kanye West choked and gagged her during a 2010 La Roux video shoot. La Roux’s Elly Jackson reportedly acknowledged the memory of the incident in private messages. An filed the case under NYC’s Gender Motivated Violence Protection Act in 2024, and new affidavits and exhibits obtained by Rolling Stone bolster her claims, including makeup artist testimony and crew accounts. West’s lawyers have sought to dismiss on First Amendment/artistic-expression grounds, but the plaintiffs argue the acts were not protected art. West faces other civil suits, and the case in this matter is moving forward with these new filings.
