Bianca Censori accused of sending racist texts to Yeezy employee
What's the story
Bianca Censori, rapper Kanye West's (now Ye) wife, has found herself at the center of a controversy over accusations of sending racist and explicit messages to a former employee at Yest's fashion company Yeezy.
The allegations were leveled by Pierre-Louis Auvray, a senior designer at Yeezy from 2019-2021.
Speaking to journalist Louis Pisano, Auvray alleged Censori sent him "disturbing and inappropriate messages" asking him to create lewd and racist images for brand imagery brainstorming sessions.
Evidence presented
Auvray shared explicit content allegedly received from Censori
Auvray gave Pisano screenshots of the purported texts he received from Censori when she was Head of Architecture at Yeezy.
He alleged that the messages contained an image of Edward Scissorhands renamed "Edward N-rhands" and graphic pornography.
Recalling his experience, Auvray said, "It was just bizarre, but at the time, I didn't know what to make of it."
Additional allegations
Auvray also alleged favoritism and racism by Ye
Along with the allegations against Censori, Auvray also detailed an alleged toxic work culture at Yeezy.
He alleged that Ye played favorites and hired and fired people without reason.
Auvray further alleged that after 2021, he faced "abuse, manipulation, overworking...the worst things you can think of."
He also accused Ye of making racist comments about Jews and spreading false information about Pete Davidson's health.
Feud involvement
Auvray claimed pressure to fuel the Ye-Davidson feud
Auvray alleged that he was pressured by Ye's former manager Laurence Chandler to design T-shirts with defamatory statements about Davidson.
These included "Pete Davidson has AIDS," "Pete Davidson hates Black people," and "Pete Davidson destroys families."
Auvray said, "I had to fight because I didn't want to do it. But there was pressure from five people in the group chat who would dip in and out, like Bianca."
Past controversies
Censori's past accusations and Auvray's motivation to speak out
Notably, this isn't the first time Censori has been accused of inappropriate behavior.
In June 2024, she was sued for allegedly sending explicit material to employees working in Ye's adult film business, including minors.
Ye's former chief of staff Milo Yiannopoulos denied these claims on behalf of Censori, labeling them "categorically false."
Auvray said he decided to come forward with his allegations because he didn't sign a nondisclosure agreement and wanted to expose the alleged "cult"-like environment at Yeezy.
