Doe alleges she arrived at the rapper’s house at around 6am and was ‘lucid’ when she made a call to her friend half an hour later.
She claims she was told to take a shot by the Unforgettable hitmaker and Bennouna and shortly after blacked out.
Once she was incapacitated, Doe claims she saw ‘several men coming in and out of the bedroom’. She alleges French (real name Karim Kharbouch) was one of those men.
Doe says she ‘regained consciousness’ at around 1.30pm with Bennouna ‘spooning’ her and says she felt confusion as well as ‘pain in her pelvis, lower back and vagina’.

After she left French’s home she allegedly had a rape kit administered by staff at a Kaiser Permanente Medical Center which showed that semen was present. Doe then reported the rape to police and accused French of sexually assaulting her.
Doe claims French ‘had a longstanding practice of inviting women to their recording sessions, or choosing women at bars, and inviting them back to the Hidden Hills house.’
She accuses them of supplying women with drinks and drugs ‘with the purpose of engaging in sexual acts with them, without any regard to whether or not they consented, or were able to consent.’
The alleged victim says French would often take drugs and encourage women to do the same.
