Bianca Censori to Testify in Kanye West’s Legal Case
Bianca Censori might soon be in the spotlight, as she is being called to testify in Kanye West’s ongoing legal battle. A former employee, Tony Saxon, is suing Kanye over the tumultuous remodeling of his Malibu mansion. According to new court documents, Saxon seeks to have Bianca testify at the trial set for February 21.
Saxon, who claims he was hired as a project manager and security for Kanye’s property in September 2021, alleges that working conditions were harsh. He worked grueling 16-hour shifts, sometimes sleeping on the floor with just a coat for bedding.
Things escalated in November 2021 when Kanye reportedly asked Saxon to remove the home’s windows and electrical systems. Saxon raised safety concerns, warning that these changes could pose serious dangers, especially with large generators being used inside the property.
Saxon claims that when he resisted Kanye’s demands, he was threatened. He alleges Kanye told him he’d become “an enemy” if he didn’t comply. Ultimately, when Saxon refused to follow through on the risky requests, he was fired.
Currently, Saxon is suing for unpaid wages and labor violations. By bringing Bianca into the case, he aims to strengthen his position. It remains unclear what specific information she might provide, but her role could be significant.
Kanye has denied the allegations and, in a November 2023 filing, his attorney argued that any damages suffered by Saxon stemmed from other parties and not Kanye himself. He has requested the lawsuit be dismissed entirely.
