A woman who has publicly accused Kanye West of assault during a 2010 music video shoot became emotional during an interview as she recounted the events, alleging the rapper forcibly stuck his fingers in her mouth and choked her.

The BBC’s “Fame Under Fire” podcast aired an episode on Wednesday (June 10) featuring Jennifer An, a former contestant on “America’s Next Top Model”, who filed a lawsuit against Ye in 2024, citing gender-motivated violence.

During the interview, An tearfully detailed her claims, alleging that Ye’s actions caused her to lose consciousness.

“He had me sit in a chair in front of the camera,” An recounted. “Then playback started, and all of a sudden, he reaches a hand out and starts choking me. And I’m just not sure what’s happening. Then, he pulls out his other hand and starts choking me with both hands…And sticking his hand inside of my mouth. It simulated oral sex.”

She added, “I remember, like, feeling so suffocated,” she recounted. “Like, unsure [and] scared.”

An claims the incident happened on the set of Ye and La Roux’s collab “In for the Kill.” After allegedly choking An, Ye yelled out, “This is art. This is f**king art. I am like Picasso,” according to the suit.

An also claims high-profile figures in the music industry tried to bury the incident.
