Bianca Censori so ‘traumatised’ by Kanye West’s vile rant her own career is now at risk
She is reportedly 'horrified' by what he has done.
Bianca Censori has reportedly been left ‘traumatised’ by Kanye West’s latest antisemitic remarks and is refusing to continue shooting their $25,000,000 (£20,028,000) art film.
The couple, who married in December 2022, caused a stir at the Grammys red carpet on February 2 when Censori, 30, posed practically naked in a completely see-through dress next to rapper husband West, 47.
He later took to social media platform X to declare himself ‘a Nazi’, say he ‘loves Hitler’ and insist that he has ‘dominion’ over his wife, whose stream of extremely revealing outfits worn in public have disturbed fans.
The Stronger chart-topper is already thought to have lost a $20million ($16m) deal to headline two shows at the Tokyo Dome in May after ‘horrifying’ the Japanese public with his and Censori’s Grammys stunt, which is being interpreted as an ‘utterly unacceptable’ act of coercive control.
Now it looks like the bill from that night could be even higher, as insiders claim his fictional art film starring designer Censori and partly shot in Japan, is now in jeopardy.
The film was co-created by West – also known as Ye – and the couple’s creative circle, and is said to be entirely funded by them to the reported tune of $25m (£20m).

The source also claimed that Censori is ‘so put off by this that she is currently refusing to continue shooting’, and the project’s future looks ‘uncertain’.
‘The situation is now at a standstill, as two producers involved in the project are on the cusp of quitting over his antisemitic rants,’ they continued.
‘With production paused over Bianca’s refusal to continue, the future is uncertain.’
The film, which is understood to have an all-female cast and deal with the idea that ‘shame over being naked is not natural to humans’, was actually mentioned by West after the eyebrow-raising stunt at the Grammys, when Censori removed her fur coat to reveal her body in a totally sheer nude dress.

Thinking wow I am so lucky to have a wife that is so smart talented brave and hot.
‘She took a break from shooting her first film to make a movie in real life.’
Fans were utterly shocked by their move on the red carpet, with claims that Ye was humiliating his wife and lip-readers watching the artist tell her she was ‘making a scene’.
But his rambling and shockingly offensive rants afterwards have alienated even more people – including, it appears, his wife – as West declared he would never ‘trust or work with Jewish people’ again and ‘will not apologise’ for his views.
Rapper Ye has caused outrage with his latest tweeted rants, all of which have since been deleted (Picture: Getty)It’s not the first time the rapper has been accused of antisemitism after he made a series of racist remarks in 2022, for which he later apologised.
But this time there was no remorse, with him tweeting: ‘IM NEVER APOLOGIZING FOR MY JEWISH COMMENTS I CAN SAY WHATEVER THE F**K I WANNA SAY FOREVER WHERES MY F***ING APOLOGY FOR FREEZING MY ACCOUNTS SUCK MY D**K HOWS THAT FOR AN APOLOGY.’
Shortly after deleting his X account – which is now back but with all of his offensive rants wiped – his website was taken offline after he deleted everything on it with the exception of a single T-shirt featuring a swastika symbol, available for purchase for $20 (£16.15).
He also stirred up public denouncement through his website Yeezy clearing all stock to promote one item (Picture: Scott Dudelson/FilmMagic)The mogul promoted a T-shirt emblazoned with a swastika to his fans to buy (Picture: Yeezy)
It seems the move was planned as a part of the ad West paid to air on Sunday during the Super Bowl, which reportedly showed him sitting at the dentist’s office while recording a 30-second spot on an iPhone and encouraging people to visit his website.
CNN reports that it wasn’t a national ad on Fox and only viewers in a few markets saw it.
A representative for Shopify, which processes the website’s orders, said that West’s shop violated the company’s terms and conditions.
The representative told People Magazine the shop ‘did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms so we removed them from Shopify.’
Metro has contacted reps for Kanye West for comment.
