Kanye West has been hit with no shortage of lawsuits in recent months, and today, he's facing one more. According to TMZ , model Jenn An is suing both him and Universal Music Group for alleged gender-motivated violence. An, who appeared in cycle 13 of the competition series America's Next Top Model , alleges that he picked her out of a lineup of women during a 2010 shoot for his song with La Roux "In For the Kill.
" Allegedly, Ye said "Give me the Asian girl," and they began shooting a scene at the Chelsea Hotel in New York City. An says that at that point, things took a turn for the worse. She recalls wearing revealing lingerie, and the Chicago rapper allegedly telling her "That's why I chose you.
" He then allegedly had her sit across from him with the camera pointed at her, and began to strangle her.

Robert Hanashiro / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Allegedly, he also "rammed several fingers down her throat, continuously moved them in and out, and gagged her to emulate forced oral sex.
" An alleges that this continued for over a minute and that Ye proceeded to make some disturbing remarks about it. "This is art. This is f**king art.
I am like Picasso," he allegedly said. In the lawsuit, An says that what she allegedly experienced more closely resembled "pornographic gagging/deep throat/BDSM fetishes" than a music video shoot. Ultimately, none of her or Ye's scenes made it into the final music video, which An says is the alleged result of "high-profile figures" doing their best to "bury" the incident.
At the time of writing, Ye has yet to publicly address the lawsuit . Read More: Diddy’s Beverly Hills Home Attracts $30M Offer From Buyer Of Kanye West’s Malibu Mansion.
