Ye’s relationship with his ex-lawyer is ‘irretrievably broken’
Published on 08/05/2022
The sixth time is a spell? Amid his divorce from Kim Kardashian, Kanye West has lost his fifth divorce lawyer, leaving him without legal counsel once again.
At a trial conference for the separated couple on Friday (Aug. 5), Samantha Spector, Yes’s ex-attorney, petitioned a judge in a Los Angeles court to relieve her as West’s attorney. She cited her “irretrievably broken” relationship with her client, but did not elaborate on why their correspondence broke down [via TMZ].
Although Spector had set a date for next week to sever legal ties with West, the judge granted her request immediately, meaning his attorney will release her immediately. As of press time, West is without legal representation for his divorce.
Reports of West and Kardashian’s split originally surfaced in January 2021. Since then, West has been embroiled in a series of controversies, many of which relate to his repeated molestation of Pete Davidson, Kardashian’s new partner.
Though the couple have been legally single since March, they still have some custody and property issues to resolve. Their divorce trial is currently set for December 14th.
