Bianca Censori, the Australian architect and wife of Kanye West, is facing intense scrutiny after shocking allegations about her leadership style at Yeezy surfaced.

Initially hired as Yeezy’s head of architecture, Censori reportedly transformed into a dominant figure at the company after her marriage to West. According to an anonymous former senior designer, this transition led to drastic workplace changes, including longer hours and the controversial removal of lunch breaks for employees—many of whom already faced grueling commutes.
Adding to the turmoil, insiders claim that Censori refused to sign employment contracts, leading to widespread wage delays and unpaid labor. These allegations suggest a chaotic leadership structure, with employees left in financial and professional limbo.

Beyond workplace policies, Censori is accused of engaging in unsettling behavior. One former Yeezy employee claims she bizarrely questioned staff about their views on Jewish people. Others describe her as erratic, even accusing her of stealing personal belongings, including a vape.
In a separate claim, former senior Yeezy designer Pierre-Louis Auvray accused Censori of sharing racist and explicit content with colleagues. This included an offensive meme referencing Edward Scissorhands and graphic pornography—further fueling concerns about the workplace environment under her leadership.
"/>The allegations against Censori emerge alongside long-standing accusations of inappropriate conduct by Kanye West himself. Reports suggest West engaged in offensive rants, made derogatory remarks about Jewish people, and even directed employees to create a “Pete Davidson has AIDS” T-shirt amid Davidson’s relationship with Kim Kardashian. Such claims have painted a troubling picture of Yeezy’s internal culture.

One particularly disturbing allegation comes from Auvray, who recalled an incident where West rapped about the tragic deaths at Travis Scott’s Astroworld concert—expecting employees to find it amusing. This, coupled with numerous reports of erratic behavior, adds another layer to the controversy surrounding the brand.
"/>As these allegations continue to emerge, questions are mounting about Censori’s future at Yeezy and the overall impact on the brand. The controversy has also intensified public scrutiny of her marriage to West, with rumors of marital struggles circulating amid the backlash. While some sources close to the couple claim they are working through their issues, the growing number of accusations suggests that both Censori and West may soon need to publicly address the claims against them.
The allegations against Bianca Censori have cast a harsh spotlight on the inner workings of Yeezy, raising concerns about toxic leadership and unethical workplace practices. With accusations ranging from wage disputes to unsettling personal behavior, the company faces mounting pressure to take action. As more revelations unfold, one question remains: Can Yeezy recover from this controversy, or is this the beginning of a deeper unraveling?
