One of Kanye's exes says he made her feel like a "show monkey" and a "prop"

BIANCA Censori is an intelligent woman.
She has both a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in architecture, and was once a respected member of her profession.
Enter Kanye West.
Now she is reduced to being paraded around like some kind of blow up sex doll, risking being charged with indecent exposure.
What’s most concerning is that Bianca’s outfits have become increasingly risqué and revealing over time, exposing more and more of her body.
Surely being entirely naked is the climax of this warped performance piece, so where will Kanye go from here?
How will he top it for next time?
Demand that Bianca have some of her internal organs removed, and then make her display them on the red carpet, dripping with blood?
Although there were obviously more attention-grabbing aspects of her look on the Grammy’s red carpet last night, it was the expression on her face that was the most chilling.
Of course no-one really knows what the dynamic is between this couple, but all signs seem to point to Bianca being exploited, objectified, and coerced.
As she stood there, fully nude in front of the world, gasps of shock and bursts of laughter clearly audible from all around her, it felt like witnessing abuse - humiliation on a global stage.
The kind of situation where years from now, no-one will be able to understand why this was allowed to happen.
Kanye West's 'creepy' commands to wife Bianca Censori before she revealed sheer dress on Grammys red carpet revealed
Obsessive control
The cold disdain Kanye looked at her with, as she tried so desperately to please him, was extremely disturbing - especially as a lip reader has since revealed he told her to "drop her coat" and "make a scene", suggesting rather than a pre-arranged stunt he ordered her to do it on the spot, and she instantly complied.
It worked for Britney – can somebody please start a Free Bianca movement?
Her family are said to be worried – duh - but they’re on the other side of the world, in Australia, and this is a grown woman of 30. It’s not like they can order her to come home and ground her when she gets there.
Kanye has tonnes of previous when it comes to controlling the outfits of the women he’s involved.
His ex-wife Kim Kardashian revealed on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that he told her she had “the worst style” when they started dating.
“Our whole trade-off was that if I got rid of my clothes, he’d fill up my closet. But now I’m freaking out. Like, I could literally cry,” she said.
He masterminded every aspect of her appearance, flying all the way to Paris for 24 hours in 2018 so he could re-style her after seeing paparazzi photos of her in an outfit he didn’t like.
Even after they broke up, he didn’t stop.
Distraught Kim explained on her reality show that when she started dressing herself post split, Kanye called her and told her that her career was over after seeing one of the looks she put together on her own.
Kim has stopped discussing her erratic ex, because they share four children.
I was in probably the most uncomfortable position in my life and that’s saying a lot
Julia Fox
But the woman he dated for two months after they broke up, Julia Fox, has written about him in her book Down The Drain, and pulls no punches.
She details how she felt like “a prop” and a “show monkey” being used for “a publicity stunt”, which certainly sounds familiar.
She also wrote that it felt like a ‘weird, twisted game’ that left her feeling ‘used’ and ‘dirty’.
Julia now says, “I regret that relationship so much. I hate it! It was only a few weeks but enough to last me a lifetime. I was in probably the most uncomfortable position in my life and that’s saying a lot.”
Deafening silence
Last January Kanye attended a Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony and was directly asked by a reporter, “if Bianca has her free will. Some people are saying that you’re controlling her.”
West snatched the journalist’s phone, ranting “Why do you feel like it’s okay? I’m a human being… Ask me about my wife, talking about if she’s got free will? Are you crazy? Are you insane?... I’m a legend, do you understand that?... Was that a dumbass, disrespectful question to come ask a grown-ass superhero?”
And what does the woman at the centre of this storm think? How does she respond to allegations that she is being manipulated and dominated?
Hard to say.
I have never heard Bianca Censori say a single word. Have you?
Sadly in this case, it's hard not to conclude that her silence speaks volumes.
Bianca Censori and Kanye West's relationship
Bianca Censori was born on January 5, 1995, in Melbourne, Australia
Before her current full-time job, the 30-year-old started a jewellery company called Nylons after leaving high school.
After working as a student architect for three years, she completed a master's degree between 2019 and 2020 ahead of moving to Los Angeles.
In a radio interview, a childhood friend of Bianca's claimed that Kanye slid into her DMs on Instagram, reportedly saying: "Come and work for me."
The designer then moved to LA to join his company, Yeezy, as "head of architecture" - and has stayed in this role since November 2020.
WEDDING BELLS
In October 2023, The Daily Mail reported Kanye and Bianca wed on December 20, 2022.
The couple tied the knot under a "confidential marriage license" in the state of California.
The two wed in Palo Alto, California, according to the document.
The wedding came just one month after Kanye and Kim Kardashian finalized their divorce.
