Taylor Swift takes legal action against Kanye West over sexually explicit rant, slaps him with cease and des: report | Hollywood News
Taylor Swift has reportedly slapped Kanye West with a cease and des after the Yeezy rapper went on a full-blown, expletive-laced social media rant on April 10, making dasteful remarks about the pop star and her personal life. He also blamed her as one of the reasons behind his career fallout—specifically, his inability to land a Super Bowl halftime performance, among other things. In over 100 tweets on Thursday, the rapper name-dropped several A-lers, including Beyoncé and Madonna, before wiping his posts clean. Fans called the move a low blow. Swifties were clearly enraged and hoped this time she’d fire back with legal action instead of a diss track—and it looks like she took notes.

A source close to Swift told the Daily Mail that “Kanye went too far this time.” The rapper had earlier made graphic online remarks involving the Bad Blood singer and her fellow arts, including Harry Styles and Justin Bieber. “His claims are not just false—they’re defamatory,” the source added. “This isn’t just [West] gossiping. This is [West] sexually harassing a woman, defaming her, and trying to harm her and her career.” The insider close to the matter said Swift felt backed into a corner after West’s latest outburst. The cease and des order was sent as a final warning before legal action kicks in, demanding him to stop immediately.
