Taylor Swift Takes Legal Action Against Kanye West After Rapper Shared 'Sex Smear' Messages About The Singer

Taylor Swift has taken legal action against Kanye West over a series of sexually explicit messages he posted about her and two famous music stars.

The rapper claimed that she had a threesome with Justin Bieber and Harry Styles and described the alleged romp in downright obscene detail.

Taylor Swift was reportedly "upset" by the allegation and filed a "cease and desist," which her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, is said to be in full support of.

West has been hit with a cease and desist after his shocking allegation about Taylor Swift having sexual intercourse with Justin Bieber and Harry Styles from "both sides."

The rapper made the allegation in a series of explicit messages he posted on social media recently.

According to an insider who spoke with the Daily Mail, Swift was "left with no other option" than to take the legal action against the "Donda" rapper.

"This time, he has gone too far. His claims are not just false they are defamatory," the source said about the Yeezy CEO.

"This isn't just [West] gossiping. This is [West] sexually harassing a woman, defaming her, and intending to cause harm to her and to her career," they added.

With the cease and desist now issued, West is expected to refrain from making any future rants of a similar nature against Swift. However, if he continues, he may face more severe legal consequences, including a potential defamation lawsuit.

Despite not being named in Kanye West's unhinged rant, Taylor Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, is reportedly furious over the situation.

He now wants to confront West physically "man to man" if the rapper will be willing to make himself available.

Further fueling Kelce's outrage is his belief that continued commentary on West's claims will only "give more attention to the lies."

It also doesn't help that Swift is "clearly upset" about being smeared by the untrue allegations.

"Taylor's clearly upset, and Travis is obviously supporting her," the insider further remarked. "There must be consequences. West would never dare say this to her face."

In response to West's rants, a social media user called on her to take more stringent actions against the rapper.

The individual wrote, "At this point, after everything Kanye West has done to her since 2009, including the nasty things he has recently said on here, I think Taylor Swift needs to put a restraining order on him right after suing. WHAT PART OF 'LEAVE TAYLOR SWIFT ALONE' DONT YOU UNDERSTAND!?"

Several others also supported the singer and slammed the rapper for his actions.

"Why are we just ignoring that Kanye West sexually harassed Harry along with Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber? We should be getting his a-s [right now]," a user commented.

"This man should be in jail and be banned from this app, do something @elonmusk," another fellow commented.

One more remarked, "I'll admit this: I'm not a fan of Taylor Swift's music, but I have no problem with her as a person. Saying that, I will always take her side when it comes to Kanye West's obsession with talking badly about her. Kanye is unhinged."

Before his recent rant, West had a long history of targeting Swift in his posts, music, and even during a public appearance at an award event.

He first humiliated the pop star when she won Best Female Video at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009. At the time, the rapper interrupted the "Look What You Made Me Do" singer during her acceptance speech and declared that the award should have gone to Beyoncé.

Fast forward to 2016, he name-dropped her in his song "Famous," calling her a "b-tch" whom he claimed to have "made famous."

Following the song's release, Swift condemned it for having a "strong misogynistic message," which West tried to downplay by claiming she had approved the lyrics during a phone call, which his then-wife, Kim Kardashian, recorded.

Although Swift went on to deny the claims, West further targeted her in his music video for "Famous" by featuring a lifelike wax model that resembled the pop star.

More recently, West also claimed in a since-deleted tweet that Swift is the reason he has never been given the Super Bowl halftime headline spot by the NFL.

Swift addressed her feud with West and his ex-wife, Kardashian, during her chat with Time magazine after being named Person of the Year in 2023.

The singer shared how much West and Kardashian impacted her career and well-being by releasing an edited audio recording of her phone conversation with the rapper.

Swift, while referencing the 2016 spat between her and the former couple, noted that it felt like "career death" being called a snake after denying ever consenting to West singing about her with vulgar lyrics in his song "Famous."

"You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar," Swift to the publication.

She continued, "That took me down psychologically to a place I've never been before. I moved to a foreign country. I didn't leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn't trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard."
