The lawsuit seeks emotional and psychological harm in addition to unspecified damages for unpaid contractual obligations.
The action, according to Aficionado’s lawyer William Reed, is an attempt “to force Ye to learn that this conduct has no place in our society.”
The musician’s “vitriol, hate, and anti-Semitism continues, as does his complete and utter disrespect for the women around him.”
An AFP request for comment was not immediately answered by Ye’s representatives.
“Potentially catastrophic and life-threatening situation looms for northeastern Bicol region as Super Typhoon ‘Pepito’ further intensifies,” the forecaster said hours before it made landfall, using the local name for the storm and referring to the southern part of the main island of Luzon.
The forecaster warned that Manila and other susceptible coastal areas might be hit by storm surges of up to three meters in height during the next 48 hours, while waves as high as fourteen meters (46 feet) battered the Catanduanes shore.
Man-yi may make landfall on Sunday afternoon as a super typhoon or typhoon on Luzon, the nation’s most populated island and economic hub. On Monday, it may move north of Manila and sweep across the South China Sea.
In recent weeks, the Philippines was hit by five storms that destroyed crops and cattle, left thousands homeless, and claimed the lives of at least 163 people.
On Saturday, the authorities advised citizens to follow warnings and evacuate to safety.
“If preemptive evacuation is required, let us do so and not wait for the hour of peril before evacuating or seeking help, because if we did that we will be putting in danger not only our lives but also those of our rescuers,” Interior Undersecretary Marlo Iringan said.
After being told to leave their slum, Myrna Perea, a grocer in Legazpi City, and her husband and three kids took refuge in a school classroom in Albay province, along with nine other families.
The family slept on a mat under the classroom’s lone ceiling fan on Friday night, despite the hot and claustrophobic conditions, but Perea advised that it was better to be safe.
“I think our house will be wrecked when we get back because it’s made of light materials — just two gusts are required to knock it down,” Perea, 44, told AFP.
“Even if the house is destroyed, the important thing is we do not lose a family member.”
Storm strength is rising due to climate change, resulting in greater gusts, flash floods, and heavier rains.
Although the Southeast Asian country or its surrounding waters experience about 20 powerful storms and typhoons year, which claim many lives, it is uncommon for several of these weather phenomena to occur within a brief timeframe.
