Concerning the renovation of his Malibu home, Bianca Censori has reportedly been called to testify in a lawsuit between a contractor and her husband Kanye West.
Calling on West’s spouse to testify in the upcoming February 21 trial, according to TMZ, Tony Saxon, who’s been involved in a legal dispute with the rapper since 2023, has formally filed court documents.
Though not immediately clear as to why Censori was named by Saxon as a potential witness, a 2024 report by The New Yorker indicated that the Australian architect had, at one point, been involved as an intermediary.
In the court documents, the contractor allegedly worked as a project manager, caretaker and security while carrying out West’s unique renovation requests, and is suing the embattled musician over work he allegedly completed on his oceanfront Malibu mansion between September and November 2021.
According to the plaintiff, their working arrangement went south in November 2021 when he opposed some of West’s demands, such as demolishing the marble bathrooms and removing all the windows, plumbing and electricity. Insisting that it would be a serious fire hazard, Saxon supposedly pushed back against the idea of bringing in large generators inside the house, and West allegedly threatened him, saying he would be seen as “an enemy” if he didn’t execute his vision. When Saxon refused, the hip-hop musician allegedly fired him on the spot and only paid him for one week of work.
Tony Saxon is suing West for several labour code violations, more than $1,000,000.00 in unpaid wages, and damages. In response, the 48-year-old artist denied the allegations and filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit in November 2023. In the documents, his attorneys insisted that West was not responsible for the damages and that Saxon carried out tasks he was unaware of.
Bianca Censori has been married to West since 2022.
