The Woman Dancing In Kanye West's 'Through The Wire' Video Has Filed A Lawsuit

by Daryl Nelson

Kanye West's video for his 2003 song "Through the Wire" starts with a lady dancing in a fast-food place.

Her name is Cynthia Love and she's suing Coodie Simmons and Chike Ozah, the directors of Ye's jeen-yuhs documentary.

As TMZ explains, Love feels exploited by the doc since an extended version of her "Through the Wire" appearance plays in it.

Love claimed to be paid only $20 to be in the video on top of that. 

The Chicago woman also said the documentary brought up a time in her life that she'd like to forget since she's been clean for almost 18 years. 

Plus, there were some people who weren't aware of her past as an addict and the documentary changed that.

So, Love is suing the directors for $30,000, claiming emotional distress.

Do you think she'll get some money?
