Bianca Censori has addressed the viral Venice boat incident with Kanye West, denying any inappropriate behavior occurred during the controversial outing. In her first interview since marrying West in December 2022, Censori told Vanity Fair that paparazzi photos from August 2023—which appeared to show her performing oral sex on the rapper aboard a water taxi—were misleading. The 31-year-old architect explained she was merely kneeling on a stool with her head resting on West’s lap as he sat at the stern.
Censori emphasized the presence of her aunt during the ride, suggesting she wouldn’t engage in such acts with family present. Despite her explanation, the images and footage—in which West’s pants appeared lowered—quickly spread online, causing Censori humiliation. “It was the first time I was really embarrassed,” she admitted, citing concern about her father’s reaction. She has since learned not to “care” about public perception as she’s grown personally.
Following the incident, the Venetian boat company permanently banned the couple, stating their driver didn’t witness any obscene behavior but condemned it nonetheless. Local authorities reportedly investigated potential public indecency charges, which could carry administrative penalties. While officials expressed outrage, it remains unclear if formal action was taken. Representatives for the couple did not respond to requests for comment.
