The lawsuit was filed on Wednesday, days before
Snoop Dogg is set to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show
with other hip-hop artists near Los Angeles.
The woman was identified as Jane Doe and described as a dancer,
model, host and actress who had worked with Snoop Dogg.
In the lawsuit filed in the Central District of California
against Calvin Broadus aka Snoop Dogg, the woman said Snoop Dogg
entered a bathroom she was using, forced her to perform oral sex
and masturbated in front of her.
"Plaintiff found herself thinking about her job security if she
displeased Defendant Snoop Dogg," the complaint said. "Plaintiff
felt pressured by defendant Snoop Dogg due to his dominance, and
his position of power over her, including his ability to hire
and fire her and ensure that she would never be hired in his
industry again."
Representatives for Snoop Dogg did not immediately respond to
requests for comment.
The woman said in the lawsuit she was also sexually assaulted
earlier in the evening by a Snoop Dogg employee who is also
named as a defendant. The parties tried to resolve the matter
through mediation, the complaint said.
On Instagram on Wednesday, Snoop Dogg wrote that "Gold digger
season is here be careful... keep ya guards up. And. Keep ya
circle small."
The lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages, said the post
appeared shortly after mediation talks broke down.
