Bianca Censori, an Australian architect and the wife of rapper Kanye West, has recently come under scrutiny following allegations of inappropriate conduct during her tenure at Yeezy, West’s fashion brand. Former employees have accused Censori of sending offensive messages and contributing to a toxic work environment.
Allegations by Former Yeezy Employees
Pierre-Louis Auvray, a former senior designer at Yeezy, has publicly accused Censori of sending him disturbing and inappropriate messages. In an interview with journalist Louis Pisano, Auvray claimed that Censori sent him content that was both lewd and racist. He provided screenshots purportedly showing Censori sharing an image of “Edward Scissorhands” altered with a racial slur and explicit pornographic material. Auvray described these messages as “bizarre” and expressed uncertainty about how to respond at the time.
Auvray also shed light on the work culture at Yeezy, alleging that favoritism was prevalent and that employees were frequently hired or dismissed without clear justification. He recounted an incident during a ride to Elon Musk’s SpaceX facility in November 2021, where West allegedly rapped about the tragic deaths at Travis Scott’s Astroworld concert, seemingly expecting Auvray to find it amusing. This experience led Auvray to reassess his perception of West.
Additional Accusations Against Censori
Beyond Auvray’s claims, other former employees have reported unsettling interactions with Censori. One ex-staffer described her behavior as increasingly authoritative and cutthroat after her marriage to West in December 2022. She allegedly refused to sign contracts, attempted to reduce lunch breaks for seamstresses who had lengthy commutes, and posed inappropriate questions about Jewish people. Additionally, Censori was accused of stealing personal items, such as a vape, and using her position to threaten individuals both within and outside the company.
Previous Legal Issues
This is not the first time Censori has faced such allegations. In June 2024, she was implicated in a lawsuit accusing her of sending explicit materials to employees working on West’s adult film projects, some of whom were reportedly minors. At that time, West’s former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, dismissed these allegations as “categorically and wholly false.”
Impact on Censori and West’s Relationship
The controversies surrounding Censori have reportedly strained her relationship with West. Sources suggest that Censori has grown increasingly uncomfortable with West’s controversial actions, particularly his decision to sell merchandise featuring a swastika. An insider claimed that Censori expressed her unwillingness to be associated with such actions, stating, “She told him that’s not who she is, and that she can’t be associated with that.” Despite these reports, representatives for the couple have denied any talk of a separation, asserting that they are together in Los Angeles.
Current Status and Public Perception
As of now, neither Censori nor West have publicly addressed the recent allegations. The accusations have sparked discussions about workplace ethics and the responsibilities of individuals in positions of power. Public opinion remains divided, with some expressing concern over the alleged behavior and others awaiting further evidence before drawing conclusions.
Conclusion
The allegations against Bianca Censori have brought to light serious concerns regarding workplace conduct and personal behavior within the Yeezy brand. As more information emerges, it remains to be seen how these claims will impact Censori’s professional standing and her relationship with Kanye West. The situation underscores the importance of maintaining ethical standards and accountability in professional environments.
