LOS ANGELES — Two former teachers at Kanye West's Donda Academy are suing the recording artist and entrepreneur and California private school, alleging they were wrongfully terminated after raising concerns about the institution's practices.
According to a lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Cecilia Hailey started working at the Simi Valley school in November as a substitute teacher before becoming a full-time third grade teacher in January. Her daughter, Chekarey Byers, started working at the school in January as a fifth-grade teacher, the lawsuit stated.
The lawsuit, which includes West, who now goes by Ye, and Donda Academy among the defendants, also alleges that the women's paychecks were"untimely or inaccurate." The women, who are African American, also allege they were discriminated against based on their race after being called"aggressive" by a school leader, according to the lawsuit.
