The controversial rapper Kanye West was accused of sexual assault: he choked him to unconsciousness

Jenn An, a contestant on America's Next Top Model, has filed a lawsuit against controversial rapper Kanye West for allegedly choking her and putting his fingers down her throat during the filming of La Roux's "In for the Kill" video in 2010. In a lawsuit filed in a New York federal court, the star accused the 47-year-old artist of sexual assault.

The document, which was obtained by a number of media outlets, according to People, states that An was working as a supporting actress for the video and was wearing only "revealing underwear" when West pointed her out to the crew and asked them to "give him an Asian girl." The model claimed that she responded to Kanye: "I don't have a lot of clothes on," to which he allegedly replied: "That's why I picked you," and she recalls him ordering the other supporting cast members to leave the room.

Later, the rapper began to put on his own show, committing sexual violence by imitating obscene movements and sounds. "On camera, Defendant West began to choke the plaintiff with one hand. He then wrapped his other hand around her neck and continued to choke her with both hands," the lawsuit says. "He then shoved several fingers down her throat, moving them continuously back and forth, and gagged her. In the process, the performer himself claimed that "this is art."

"The plaintiff was having difficulty breathing and felt that she had temporarily lost consciousness. When defendant West decided he was done with plaintiff, her face was covered in saliva and smeared makeup," the document says. Universal Music Group (UMG) is also named as a co-defendant in the case, as An claims that the company "failed to investigate" the incident. The lawsuit states that "West's gender-based, hateful, and offensive scandals were a brand that was too profitable for defendant Universal Music to intervene despite his unlawful behavior."
