EXCLUSIVE: MORE women accuse Kanye's fashion sidekick of 'rape' as pressure mounts on rapper to dump stylist who befriends his 'victims' on Twitter

• e-mail

Kanye West today faces calls to cut ties with 'creative collaborator' Ian Connor as yet more women tell Daily Mail Online the stylist raped them.

Jenni Stampley, 19, from Chicago, alleges she was attacked by the stylist during a visit to Toronto in April, while Taryn Williams, 23, from Redlands, California, alleges she was raped in October 2014.

Both waived their right to anonymity to speak to Daily Mail Online - and Stampley said that as he raped her, Connor told her: 'Shut the f*** up.'

He also texted her after Daily Mail Online interviewed her to threaten to sue, saying: 'I pray that you have a good lawyer because I will be getting everything.'

Connor now faces five separate rape allegations as the fresh accusations follow those of Malika Anderson, 23, of Chicago, Khadiata Diallo, 19, of New York, and 'Alyssa', 18, of Denver, all made to Daily Mail Online earlier this week.

Two of the alleged victims today called for West to sever all ties with Connor, with Stampley saying: 'He should set an example by showing he stands with the women who were assaulted and that he does not support rapists – even if they are his friends.'

New 'victim': Jenni Stampley, 19, of Chicago is among two young women who have come forward to tell Daily Mail Online that Ian Connor used social media to befriend them - before, they say, raping her

At his side: Ian Connor with Kanye. The rapper has tweeted about 'having an idea to run past' the 23-year-old. Sources close to the rapper claim he is a former 'freelance consultant'. Connor posted a video from Kanye's studio on social media this week

Latest statement: Ian Connor tweeted this message on Thursday night in an apparent response to the series of rape allegations leveled against him by women in Daily Mail Online

Kanye West's spokesman was first asked for a statement on his links to Connor on Wednesday but his management company has declined to discuss their relationship, both business and personal.

A source close to West's team said Connor had been a consultant 'on fashion brands' and paid to model at Yeezy shows, but was 'currently not an employee of Mr West, nor a consultant'.

However, the source declined to rule out West collaborating with him in the future.

Connor, meanwhile, has tweeted an apparent defense against the allegations, writing: 'I Should Never Be Punished In Lies.'

The latest rape allegations have significant similarities to the three women who have already told their stories.

Both Stampley and Williams say they were targeted on social media by Connor, conducted lengthy exchanges before meeting him, and that he then attacked them.

Williams, who lives with her mother Lori, in Redlands, California, first encountered Connor on social media, after he commented on one of her photos on Instagram on May 18 2014.

Connor, a friend of a friend, continued to comment on her Instagram posts but Williams says she never responded.

'I would never reply to the comments and I even saw him out one night and I ignored him,' she told Daily Mail Online.

'He messaged me saying, 'Why didn't you come up and say anything to me?' and I said, 'Because I don't know you. Why would I come up to you?'

'And he said, 'You seem to be anti me for some reason.' I said, 'I know how you are - it seems like every different city you go to you're with a different girl, that's not me.'

'So he said, 'You've got me all wrong you should just talk to me and see what kind of guy I am.'

'We spoke for a while just texting back and forth and he seemed like an OK guy - he never talked about anything sexual, he never asked me for photos and he didn't even comment on my appearance.'

The two continued to exchange messages, both on and offline, and in October 2014, Connor asked the Fashion Institute of Design and Marketing in Los Angeles student to come and spend time with him.

Thinking it would be fun because of their mutual interest in fashion, she agreed. He sent an Uber to her home in Whittier and Williams traveled to his [former] apartment in L.A's Northridge.

But, she claims, things began to go wrong shortly after she arrived. 'He said, 'Hi' and he was acting really odd and not looking at me and walking ahead of me, not walking with me. It was weird.

'We got into his apartment and by that time it was probably 3 or 4 am in the morning and he said, 'Well are you going to spend the night because it seems kind of stupid to just hang out and then you leave at 7 in the morning?'

'So I said, 'That's fine if you have a couch I guess I could just sleep on the couch'. He said, 'Yeah no problem,' so we're probably hanging out for about 10 minutes or so and he said, 'Do you want some pajamas just to be comfortable and I said, 'No I'm fine,' and he said, 'No, no, no just take it,' and he gave me a big jersey.

The two then sat together on the couch, where, says Williams, he began attempting to touch her – 'making me really uncomfortable' in the process.

She continued: 'Immediately after I put the pajamas on, he starts touching me and I said, 'Stop, you said this isn't what you wanted, why are you doing this?' and he just told me I was being weird.

Victim number three: 'Alyssa', 18, is a newly-graduated high school student who has told Daily Mail Online Connor raped her when she met him in Los Angeles as she looked at college options

Speaking out: Malika Anderson (left) and Khaditia Diallo (right) waived their right to anonymity to tell Daily Mail Online on Wednessday their accounts of being 'raped' by Ian Connor. They were joined by 'Alyssa'. Anderson called for Kanye to cut ties to Anderson and told Daily Mail Online: 'You cannot care about women, about protecting women, and associate with Ian Connor at the same time. It has to be one or the other.

'He never answered me. I said, 'Why are you doing this when you said you weren't going to?' I was getting really upset.

'He tried to put his face down near my vagina and I pushed him with my feet really hard and said, 'Don't, just stop it!'

'It was at that point he grabbed my lower back and pulled me to him and he put his penis inside me. I pushed him out again and I said, 'Please no, stop. This isn't what I wanted and you said this isn't what you wanted, why are you lying?'

'I just kept saying that 'Why did you lie to me?' and he told me, 'You're being weird stop being weird.'

'Then he just forced himself inside me and kept going. I kind of just was waiting until he was finished and I was crying and finally he was done and he fell asleep on the floor so I just made my way to the couch and tried to fall asleep.'

The next morning, Williams says Connor barely spoke to her but seemed surprised when she said she didn't want to spend the day with him.

'I was thinking, 'You just raped me I really want to go home',' she says.

Williams says she was initially reluctant to tell people what happened to her for fear that she would be ridiculed.

'I thought people wouldn't believe me,' says Williams. 'I knew his fan base and it's young boys who idolize people who they don't really know.

Messages: These are some of the direct messages Ian Connor exchanged with Taryn Williams before the two met. Every other woman leveling rape allegations against him this week say he used social media to befriend them

Reaction: The message Connor sent this week to Jenni Stampley when he became aware that she was going to go public to accuse him of rape

How he reacted: This was part of Connor's social media response to Daily Mail Online's first disclosure of the allegations against him 

'Especially after the whole Bill Cosby thing came out I was terrified because everybody said these women are liars, and there's no way this could have happened.'

Williams says she messaged him a week later in a bid to make sense of what happened.

'I texted him the last time, the big message on December 12, 2014,' she says. 

KANYE AND CONNOR: FRIEND, CONSULTANT AND 'MUSE' - AND KANYE'S HANDLERS ARE SILENT ON CLAIMS

Previously employed by rapper Wiz Khalifa and New York hip hop collective, the A$AP Mob, Ian Connor is now a close friend and business associate of Kanye West.

West, who was described by Connor on Instagram as 'the person who taught me how to be a man', has returned the compliment – tweeting about 'being in the lab with Ian Connor' and about 'having an idea to run past @soulajan [Connor]' on social media.

Connor, who has been described as being West's 'creative consultant' as well as stylist to Kylie Jenner, appeared on the catwalk during the rapper's Yeezy 3 presentation at New York Fashion Week in February.

In an interview given to Billboard magazine that month, Connor talked about how he and West are 'innovators' and said: 'At the end of the day, we're making s*** cooler, we're making it better and we're making it more open-minded instead of just the standard runway look if that makes sense.'

Asked to describe his role in West's team, he said: 'I'm his creative consultant so I [advise] on the clothing and [give] my ideas as far as 'this is right, this is wrong, this is cool, we should bring in this person, we should not f**k with this person.''

In a profile on Vogue.com published in February, he was described as 'being something of a muse and certainly the Yeezy poster boy' who has made an 'indelible impression' on the rapper's style.

More recently, Connor hinted at being handed the reins at West's Premium Pastelle fashion line – instagramming a photo of the brand's logo along with a caption that read 'Coming Soon'.

Video of the rapper in the studio were also posted on Connor's Instagram feed on Tuesday – this time accompanied by a caption calling it 'the best 9-5 ever' - suggesting the 23-year-old filmed it. 

Daily Mail Online first approached Kanye West's management company for a statement on his links with Connor on Wednesday. 

His spokesman has declined to speak on the record.

However a source close to Kanye's team said Connor 'has only worked in a freelance consultant capacity' but agreed that the stylist worked for Yeezy: 'He was hired as a model in the previous three fashion shows.' 

The source also said 'there are currently no plans' for future collaboration - but that is hardly ruling out more work with Connor in the future.

Daily Mail Online has approached Adidas, West's partner in Yeezy, for comment. 

The next Yeezy release is on 11 June, Adidas Originals announced on Thursday.

The text message, seen by Daily Mail Online, said: 'I'm not texting you to talk or be your friend because I would never want that after seeing what kind of person you are.

'But before I can delete your number you need to apologize for what you did to me. I wanted to just be your friend because I respected you and you lied to me and used me. I can't just get over it because I'm not just a thing I'm a person.'

Connor's response was brief. 'I'm sorry you're right, I'm just disconnected', he wrote.

In Stampley's case, her first and only meeting with Connor came a month after the pair first began talking on Twitter – and followed an argument over her refusal to visit him in New York.

When she said no, he became angry.

'Eventually, he got mad and was like, whatever,' says Stampley. 'I expected him to be just mad and I thought he would talk to me later but he didn't.

'So a week later, I texted him and I was like, I'm sorry – I didn't mean for it [the refusal] to come across like that.'

Connor replied with an invitation to Canada and this time Stampley, at a loose end on a Friday night, agreed to fly to Toronto – paid for by the stylist.

When she arrived, on April 1, she was met by his friends – 'they were all really nice to me' – and driven to the bar where Connor was spending his evening.

But when the group left to return to their hotel, Stampley says the Yeezy 'creative collaborator' became tactile en route, thrusting his fingers into her mouth and asking her to suck them.

Once at the hotel, she says she swiftly discovered that no extra room had been booked for her and that she would be expected to share with him.

He then insisted she change into one of his shirts before telling her to get into bed with him. A 'nervous' Stampley complied.

'I was like, OK, and got into bed with him,' she says. 'He was trying to do the same kind of stuff to me that he was doing in the car. I was like, no I don't want to have sex. 

'Then he got behind me and held my waist from behind. I asked him to move but he said no and kept telling me to relax.

'I thought, if I say no, he's not going to do anything. I've never met anybody, said no and had them just keep going. I was sure he wasn't going to do anything else, so I just stopped moving.

'Then I saw him out of the corner of my eye taking off his pants, or maybe his boxers, and he noticed I'd seen him and turned me back around.

'So I said, no, I'm not going to have sex and he told me to relax again. I could hear he was getting a little mad. He was getting louder and he said, you need to stop. So I stopped moving.

'I could feel him pressed against me so I tried to move but he just grabbed the back of my neck and my hair and pushed my face into the pillow.

'I think I had a bun and he was holding the back of it. Then he just proceeded I guess. He was holding my hair and pushing my face into the pillow.

'I was trying to talk and he was like, 'shut the f*** up'. So then I stopped [trying to move]. He's not big but I tried to move at first and I couldn't so I just stopped.'

Afterwards, Stampley says she lay on the bed aghast, before moving to a sofa in a different room and trying to get some sleep. Two hours later, she got up and had a shower.

Connor slept through the night and then got up to attend a business meeting later on, leaving Stampley alone in the hotel suite.

Asked why she stayed, she says: 'I didn't have any other way to get home. He was paying [for the flight] and he only bought me a one way ticket so I had to wait until he bought the other ticket.'

On his return, she claims Connor insisted they had sex again. 'He came back and he was trying to have sex with me again,' she says.

'I told him I didn't really want to have sex, but he was like, "come on". I just did it because I just wanted to get home and I didn't think he was going to pay for me to go home if I didn't do anything so I did it. I just did it anyway.

'He was really aggressive, pulling my hair and he even recorded it.'

She added: 'He even FaceTimed somebody while it was going on. One of his friends FaceTimed him and he picked up and was showing them.

'I said, you need to put that down but he was like, whatever. I just wanted to go home.'

Later, says Stampley, he brought another two girls to the room and suggested that they engage in group sex – which she declined to do.

On the catwalk: Connor (front row, left) was one of the models in Kanye West's Yeezy collection in February of this year in New York. He modeled in two other Yeezy shows and been paid for it.

Inner circle: Ian Connor (circled) is a stylist for Kylie Jenner (center) and has been a 'freelance consultant' to Kanye (second from left) and has met other members of the family as a result. 

He then disappeared off to a bar, leaving her alone and desperate to go home.

Connor then insisted she come to meet him at a club, only for her to discover he had left and gone back to the hotel without her.

The next morning, Stampley confronted Connor and asked for her ticket home – which he finally agreed to give to her.

'I woke Ian and told him I needed a ride to the airport,' she says. 'Ian, he was mad, he had an attitude, so he was like, well, can't you get it?

'I was like, OK, I'll get it. If you want me to get it because I'm not having sex with you anymore, that's fine. I called Uber, got myself an Uber. Then I just went to the airport and went home.'

'He definitely doesn't have respect for women,' says Stampley. 'He'll be a nice person but when it comes to sex, he's mad. He has no respect at all.

'He will call you a b**** because he thinks he can call you a b**** and get away with it.' 

Stampley said her first thought on returning to Chicago was to go to the police. 'If you say no and someone keeps going, that's rape,' she says.

'It doesn't matter what you say or what you do after, it's still rape. So I was like, ok, that's what happened to me. I called Toronto but they said you need to file where you live.

'I went to the police and told them a bunch of stuff. I showed them pictures of when I was there, a picture of me and him together.

'They said I need to re-file with Cook County [Chicago] because I live in a small town – it needs to be a bigger county. So I still need to do that.'

However, she says she has been reluctant to confide in friends about the incident and claims she has already lost one or two who say her decision to come forward is merely attention seeking.

She adds: 'I wasn't going to say anything but I know if I don't, he's going to keep doing it and keep doing it.

'There's probably going to be someone after me so it's for other people. I have to speak up for them.'
