Serious allegations have emerged against Bianca Censori, wife of rapper Kanye West, from a former employee of West’s fashion brand Yeezy. Pierre-Louis Auvray, who worked at Yeezy from 2019 to 2021, has come forward with claims of inappropriate behaviour by Censori during her tenure at the company.
In a revealing interview with journalist Louis Pisano for his Substack DISCOURSTED, Auvray alleged that Censori sent him “disturbing and inappropriate messages” containing racist imagery and explicit content.
“She sent things like an image of Edward Scissorhands renamed ‘Edward N–rhands’ and graphic porn,” Auvray stated, providing what she claims was evidence of the alleged texts to Pisano.
Auvray said, “It was just bizarre, but at the time, I didn’t know what to make of it.” His allegations extend beyond Censori, painting a picture of a toxic work environment at Yeezy.
The former designer recounted an incident involving West where during a car ride to Elon Musk‘s SpaceX in November 2021, Auvray claimed Ye “started rapping about people dying at Travis Scott‘s Astroworld concert” and appeared to expect a positive reaction from him.
Auvray’s allegations also touched on West’s controversial behaviour, including claims of racist remarks and spreading unfounded rumours about Kim Kardashian‘s ex-boyfriend, Pete Davidson.
Auvray also accused Ye’s former manager, Laurence Chandler to create t-shirts that included messages which read things like “Pete Davidson has AIDS,” “Pete Davidson hates black people,” and “Pete Davidson destroys families”.
“He was looking at me like he expected me to laugh, and that’s when I first started realising he was awful,” Auvray said of the alleged behaviour.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time such accusations have come up. In June 2024, Censori faced a lawsuit alleging she had sent inappropriate material to employees, including minors, working on West’s adult film business. However, these claims were vehemently denied by West’s team at the time.
Auvray explained his decision to come forward, stating that he did not sign a non-disclosure agreement and wanted to expose what he described as a “cult”-like environment at Yeezy. Employees were apparently constantly afraid of their job security according to Auvray.
“It was like mind games. No one knew what was coming next,” he said.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how these allegations will impact Censori, West, and the Yeezy brand. With no official statement from Censori or West addressing these specific claims, the controversy surrounding them shows no signs of abating.
