EXCLUSIVE: Kanye West believes ex personal trainer Harley Pasternak is FOLLOWING him in Dubai one year after rapper leaked alleged texts from 'creepy' former employee threatening to get him 'institutionalized again
Kanye West believes his ex personal trainer Harley Pasternak has been following him in Dubai - one year after the rapper leaked alleged texts from his 'creepy' former employee threatening to get him 'institutionalized again'.
Photo and video obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com shows Pasternak, 49, in the lobby of a hotel on Monday where West is staying with his children - which a source called 'extremely suspect'.
West, 46, was notably hospitalized in November 2016 after suffering a temporary psychosis at Pasternak's home in West Hollywood - reportedly brought on by sleep deprivation and extreme dehydration following a stream of Twitter posting frenzies, political and personal rants at his fans and cancelled concerts.
West was diagnosed with bipolar disorder but has claimed in the years since that he was 'mentally misdiagnosed' and that Pasternak was allegedly to blame - later leaking texts Pasternak had reportedly sent him in the wake of the musician's 2022 anti-Semitic rants.
An insider told DailyMail.com of Pasternak: 'We have grave concerns as to what this creepy operative is doing in Ye’s hotel.
'The timing is extremely suspect.
'We are very concerned indeed about his motives and intentions.
'This is the man who threatened to "drug Ye to Zombieland". Why has he suddenly shown up here?'
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Pasternak for comment.
In November 2022, West leaked alleged text messages from Pasternak in which his former employee reportedly threatened to 'have you institutionalized again' if he wasn't allowed to sit down with the musician for a 'loving, open conversation' in the wake of the musician's anti-Semitic rants.
The alleged texts from Pasternak read: 'First, you and I sit down and have a loving and open conversation, but you don’t use cuss words, and everything that is discussed is based in fact, and not some crazy stuff that dumb friend of yours told you, or you saw in a tweet.
'Second option. I have you institutionalized again where they medicate the crap out of you, and you go back to Zombieland forever. Play date with the kids just won’t be the same.'
