Model Who Claims Kanye West Choked Her During La Roux Music Video Shoot Felt "Suffocated and Scared"
Jennifer An says West choked her and put his fingers in her mouth during a 2010 cameo shoot, and she is suing under New York law.
- Model Jennifer An is suing Kanye West for sexual assault, alleging he choked her during a 2010 music video shoot for La Roux's In For The Kill at New York's Chelsea Hotel.
- An alleges West took over the set, choked her with both hands, and smeared makeup on her face to "simulate oral sex" during filming. She claims she froze, fearing job loss.
- La Roux singer Elly Jackson corroborated the account in court documents filed in March, describing the incident as "horrific" and confirming she requested the footage never be used.
- Lawyers for West filed a motion to dismiss, arguing the conduct was an "intense and provocative theatrical performance" meant to emulate the film American Psycho, not assault.
- Filed under the Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act, the case remains pending as West faces ongoing scrutiny for offensive and antisemitic remarks in recent years.
