A model is suing Kanye West after claiming he assaulted her on a music video set in 2010.
Jennifer An told Fame Under Fire podcast the US rapper choked her and stuck his fingers in her mouth while filming a sequence for the music video in which he was making a cameo appearance, leaving her feeling "suffocated, unsure and scared".
Lawyers for the rapper do not deny the encounter took place, but have argued it was part of an "intense and provocative theatrical performance". His representatives have been contacted for further comment.
