“Lauren has truly suffered from the process, both on the basis of what she has experienced, what she claims has experienced, but also on the reaction she has experienced by both Mr. West and her fans,” Fudali said. “Certainly, Mr. West has done much more on X, and on social networks than criticizing my client. My client mocked. “

He continued: “People like Mr. West has the notoriety and resources for ridicule and attack. It is from the playground of powerful people. “

Her decision was not without reaction, as I speak right now, she hides. “

“It’s hiding right now,” he said. “He is so afraid of what could happen on the basis of the reaction from Mr. West, putting his name there, mocking him, the reaction of the fans of Mr. West. It is very scary and is a very discouraging thing for people to come and make accusations against someone like Mr. West. “

“She is definitely ready and willing to go to the trial and tell her story and have her day in court and get the justice and responsibility she deserves,” said Fudali. “We are preparing to have a jury trial in front of her colleagues and Mr. West in Los Angeles and to get a verdict in favor of Miss Pisciotta.”

He added: “I look forward to the opportunity to take the submission of Mr. West and to face these statements and to see how he responds under the oath.”
