Isla Fisher slams Kanye West amid lawsuit accusing him of comparing himself to Hitler

Isla Fisher has unloaded on Kanye West’s latest anti-Semitic stunt, as the rapper faces a lawsuit over a workplace incident in which he compared himself to Hitler and his Yeezy website is removed.

Kanye West is being sued by a former staffer of his Yeezy brand, with the rapper accused of calling the Jewish woman ugly and texting her “Hail Hitler”.

It comes as Australian actor Isla Fisher slammed Kanye West on social media on Tuesday, calling him a “monster” after he used the huge platform of the Super Bowl to promote his Yeezy website, which featured just one item: a white T-shirt with a black swastika.

The lawsuit, filed in LA Superior Court, includes text messages from the musician to employees in which he wrote “I Am A Nazi,” and “Welcome to the first day of working for Hitler.”

West fired the staffer the day after she complained about his behaviour, according to the 33-page lawsuit.

The suit seeks monetary damages and accuses West of discrimination, retaliation, creating a hostile work environment and breach of contract.

West’s account on X was deactivated this week after a hate-filled rant on the social media platform, where he wrote: “I’m a Nazi.”

Following his latest anti-Semitic stunt on Sunday, the company hosting and fulfilling orders for Yeezy.com removed the website.

Shopify, the host of West’s successful brand’s e-commerce website, told The Hollywood Reporter the addition of the swastika shirt violated its brand policy.

“All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform. This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms so we removed them from Shopify,” a spokesperson for Shopify said.

Fisher took to Instagram to call out the stunt, where she posted a screenshot of his website with the swastika-emblazoned T-shirt and added her own text over the top of the photo.

“Hey friends, can you please unfollow Kanye?” the 49-year-old wrote.

“Did you know this is the only thing for sale on his website after placing a Super Bowl commercial?

“F**k this monster forever. No Tolerance for this s**t.”

The controversy followed the nearly-naked scandal where Bianca dropped her fur coat to the ground and revealed her nearly naked body at the 67th Grammy Awards on February 2.

On Tuesday, YouTube star Riley Mae Lewis revealed she overheard Kanye and wife Bianca Censori have an argument before the controversial nude scandal at the Grammys last week. 

Lewis was stood feet away from the couple and told The U.S. Sun that she believed the pair may have been arguing before their stunt.

She said the couple had a weird “energy” around them, and claimed Kanye even attempted to flirt with her while he was stood next to his disrobed wife.

“I thought they might’ve been arguing or something,” she said.

“She didn’t look like was fully onboard with the scandal he wanted to create on the carpet.

“The energy between the two seemed off, and a lot of people on the carpet thought the exact same thing.

“It makes me concerned for what their relationship is like behind the scenes.

“When I saw him, he kind of gave me a flirty look even though Bianca was right next to him … the whole situation was weird.”

Lewis went on to say Bianca “did not look like she wanted to be there”, while Kanye “looked like he was loving the attention”.

“Now seeing everything that is going on with Kanye’s wild rants, it makes sense, possibly this is what led to the downfall of Kanye on Twitter.

“This all was definitely planned, no doubt,” she added.
