Lawyers for Donda Academy reportedly said in a separate filing in May that Hailey and Byers’s suit was “fatally uncertain, ambiguous, and unintelligible.” To keep a running list, Ye is allegedly against: crosswords, glass ceilings, forks, cleaning products, fire safety, and stairs.Īccording to NBC News, Ye’s attorney Gregory Suhr said in a recent Los Angeles County Superior Court filing, “None of it is true and the allegations do a disservice to the Donda Academy’s current staff and students and their parents who will attest to their positive experience.” Crosswords and other puzzles were allegedly banned, which isn’t a problem really, just strange. The suit reportedly alleged the kids were not allowed outdoors during the school day and that the doors were locked from the outside. According to a copy of the lawsuit provided to Vice, no utensils were allowed, and the children were fed sushi for lunch every day. Besides reportedly claiming they were the only Black women hired as teachers at the school, Hailey and Byers said in the filing that Ye was “afraid” of stairs, so no classes were held on the second floor, and he didn’t like conventional cleaning products. In April, former Donda Academy teachers Cecilia Hailey and Chekarey Byers also filed a lawsuit against Ye and the school, alleging racial discrimination and wrongful termination, Page Six reported at the time. The oddest allegation is probably that Ye does not “like glass.” Per Page Six, the suit reads, “In the middle of the main classroom, a skylight was left without glass inevitably allowing rain to fall directly inside, where water would soak into the floor, which would lead to a moldy smell for the next few days,” specifying, “The skylight was intentionally without glass because WEST expressed that he did not like glass.” He claims in the filing that there were several issues with the school, including exposed wiring, septic tank issues, and no hot water, a particular problem during a global pandemic. Meadows was the assistant principal at the 2020 iteration of the school, then called Yeezy Christian Academy, before it later became Donda Academy, The Guardian reports. Isaiah Meadows filed suit on Thursday for wrongful termination as well as breach of contract, alleging education, health, safety, and labor violations, according to Page Six. The closure of the rapper’s unaccredited Christian school was apparently temporary, however, and since it’s been back up and running, former employees have sued him and the school. The school reportedly closed down the following month, around when his antisemitic comments led several brands he had business partnerships with to cut ties. Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, opened Donda Academy in September 2022.
