Kanye West isn’t the only one showcasing troubling actions, apparently.
According to a bombshell new report, his estranged wife Bianca Censori allegedly displayed racist and super-unsettling behavior in text messages to former staffers.
The claims were first published by journalist Louis Pisano via his Substack on Monday. In it, he quotes a former senior designer at Yeezy — a man named Pierre-Louis Auvray (pictured above, inset) — who went on the record with his alleged experiences working at the company a few years back. And in the process, Auvray told some REALLY disturbing tales about Censori.

For one, according to Auvray (who worked at Yeezy from 2019 to 2021, BTW), Censori allegedly sent him “disturbing and inappropriate messages” that included requests for him to create images he claims were very racist and VERY lewd!
He explained to the journalist:
“She sent things like an image of Edward Scissorhands renamed ‘Edward N****rhands’ and graphic porn.”
WHAT?!
He even shared screenshots of what he claims were the images Censori wanted him to create and design in that same vein! Crazy!!
The ex-employee mused:
“It was just bizarre, but at the time, I didn’t know what to make of it.”
We don’t know what to make of it now!
Auvray also spoke quite a bit to Pisano about the allegedly toxic work environment that existed at the fashion company. For one, he claims Ye regularly showed favoritism to certain people in the company while hiring and firing (and then even sometimes quickly re-hiring) other people without proper cause.
And at one point, during a drive to Elon Musk‘s SpaceX in November of 2021, Auvray claims that the Hurricane performer allegedly began “rapping about people dying at Travis Scott‘s Astroworld concert” while they were in the car together.
WTF?!
Auvray said:
“He was looking at me like he expected me to laugh, and that’s when I first started realizing he was awful.”
Auvray also went on to claim that Ye would “rant about Jewish people” regularly. Ugh. Plus, as this was back when Kim Kardashian was just beginning to get involved with Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson, Auvray backs up the 2022 reports that Ye would go around telling Yeezy staffers that the comedian “has AIDS.”

In fact, Auvray says that even went one step further! He claimed the rapper’s former manager Laurence Chandler once ordered him to create a series of t-shirts for the Yeezy brand that included messages which read things like “Pete Davidson has AIDS,” “Pete Davidson hates black people,” and “Pete Davidson destroys families.”
Auvray tried to fight the alleged orders, but he felt like his denials came in vain — in no small part because Censori would pop up in the group chat and egg Ye on:
“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.”
Jeez…
In the end, Auvray claims that he was abruptly fired around Thanksgiving 2021. Now, he has chosen to come forward about his experiences because he says he didn’t sign a non-disclosure agreement during his time there. And so, here we are!
