The phrase “birds of a feather flock together” often suggests that people tend to gravitate toward others who share similar traits, behaviors, or beliefs. This saying has taken on a troubling dimension in light of recent allegations surrounding Bianca Censori, the wife of Kanye West (who now goes by Ye), and her alleged behavior during her time at his clothing company, Yeezy. According to Pierre-Louis Auvray, a former senior designer at Yeezy who worked there from 2019 to 2021, Censori exhibited racist and lewd behavior that mirrored the controversial antics often associated with her husband. Auvray made these claims in a revealing interview with journalist Louis Pisano, where he detailed disturbing interactions with Censori. He alleged that she sent him inappropriate and offensive messages, including a distorted image of Edward Scissorhands renamed “Edward N–rhands” and graphic pornographic material. Auvray described the experience as “bizarre” and admitted that at the time, he wasn’t sure how to respond or interpret such behavior.
Auvray’s account paints a picture of a toxic work environment at Yeezy, where favoritism and erratic decision-making were allegedly rampant. He recalled a particularly unsettling incident during a drive to Elon Musk’s SpaceX facility in November 2021. According to Auvray, West began rapping about the deaths at Travis Scott’s Astroworld concert, which had occurred just days earlier, in a manner that Auvray found deeply inappropriate. He said West seemed to expect him to laugh, which was the moment Auvray realized West’s behavior was deeply problematic. Auvray also accused West of making racist remarks, including rants about Jewish people, and spreading harmful rumors about his ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s then-boyfriend, Pete Davidson. West allegedly claimed Davidson had AIDS, a false accusation that Davidson has since denied. Furthermore, Auvray revealed that West’s former manager, Laurence Chandler, pressured him to create T-shirts with defamatory slogans about Davidson, such as “Pete Davidson has AIDS,” “Pete Davidson hates black people,” and “Pete Davidson destroys families.” Auvray admitted he resisted the request but faced pressure from a group chat that included Censori.
These allegations aren’t the first to surface against Censori. In June 2024, she faced a lawsuit accusing her of sending explicit material to employees involved in West’s adult film business, some of whom were minors. At the time, West’s former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, vehemently denied the claims, calling them “abhorrent” and “categorically and wholly false.” Yiannopoulos also dismissed the lawsuit as a desperate attempt for attention. Auvray, however, claims he came forward with his story because he never signed a nondisclosure agreement, giving him the freedom to expose what he describes as a “cult”-like atmosphere at Yeezy. His time at the company ended abruptly around Thanksgiving in 2021, when he, along with Censori and other employees, were fired. Auvray alleged that after her termination, Censori turned on West, vowing to “cancel” him.
Despite these explosive claims, Censori went on to marry West in December 2022, just over a year after her alleged firing. Since then, the couple has appeared together at high-profile events, including the 2025 Grammys, where Censori made headlines for wearing a sheer dress that left little to the imagination. However, recent rumors suggest that their relationship may be on shaky ground. Sources close to the couple told Page Six that they were heading for a split, with Censori reportedly having “had enough” of West’s racist antics. The final straw was said to be West’s decision to sell shirts featuring a swastika, a symbol deeply tied to hate and anti-Semitism. Censori allegedly told West that she couldn’t be associated with such behavior, as it reflected poorly on her and she wanted no part of the “circus” surrounding him.
Yiannopoulos has denied the rumors of a split, stating that West and Censori were together in Los Angeles and planning to celebrate Valentine’s Day. He emphasized that any official announcements about their relationship would come directly from the couple, dismissing the tabloid speculation as unfounded. While it’s unclear whether the couple is truly on the verge of breaking up, the allegations against West and Censori have once again thrust them into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
In the end, the story of Kanye West and Bianca Censori serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of unchecked power, toxicity, and the blurring of personal and professional boundaries. Whether or not the allegations against them are entirely true, they highlight the need for accountability and the importance of fostering respectful and inclusive environments in the workplace. As more details emerge, it remains to be seen how these claims will impact their reputations and their relationship moving forward. For now, the public is left to grapple with the complexities of a situation that continues to unfold in dramatic and often disturbing ways.
