Kanye West accused of bullying as Adidas launches an investigation

Adidas has launched an investigation into accusations Kanye West created a toxic work environment while he was with the company.

Rolling Stone says employees from the Yeezy collaboration were shown explicit pictures and videos.

These individuals claim West’s actions all formed part of bullying tactics.

In a letter, they continue, adding bosses were aware of West’s “problematic behaviour” but “turned their moral compass off”.

Adidas has since responded saying it does not yet know whether the allegations have any merit.

A statement released by the company reads:

“It is currently not clear whether the accusations made in an anonymous letter are true.”

“We take these allegations very seriously and have taken the decision to launch an independent investigation of the matter immediately to address the allegations.”

West was dropped by the company last month after posting anti-Semitic comments online.

Rolling Stone reports allegations of intimidation through behaviour that was described as “provocative, frequently sexualised, and often directed toward women.”

It’s believed he even showed them explicit images of his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
