Bianca Censori is denying anything naughty happened on that infamous Venice boat ride with Kanye West, admitting the ordeal left her humiliated.
In August 2023, paparazzi caught the rapper’s wife appearing to give him oral sex aboard a water taxi in Italy.
Censori, 31, told Vanity Fair in her first interview since the couple wed in December 2022 that she was aware of the public’s perception of what the photos and video looked like.
However, she insisted it didn’t happen, claiming that she was simply kneeling on a stool and resting her head on West’s lap as he sat on the stern.
The Australia-born architect noted that her aunt was also aboard, implying that she would not engage in that kind of act in her presence.
But with West’s pants seemingly down during the eyebrow-raising display, the moment went viral almost instantly. The coverage, Censori confessed, humiliated her.
“It was the first time I was really embarrassed,” she told Vanity Fair, elaborating that she felt that way “because of [her] dad.”
But as she’s “grown as a human being,” she’s learned not to “care” about what people think of her.
Despite her claim that nothing X-rated happened on the water taxi, Censori and West, 48, were banned for life by the Venetian boat company.
“On board, the driver had to keep a lookout for traffic and did not see these obscenities. If this had happened, he would have immediately disembarked and reported the transgressors to those in authority,” Venezia Turismo Motoscafi, who rented the boat to the couple, said in a statement in September 2023.
“In addition, there was a third person on board the taxi who accompanied Mr. and Mrs. West who obstructed the captain’s view to the stern in any case.”
The company went on to denounce the seemingly explicit exhibit, saying, “We completely dissociate ourselves from such acts and behavior. Mr. West and his wife will certainly no longer be welcome on board our company’s boats.”
At the time, the Daily Mail reported that West and Censori — who fell in love while working together for his fashion brand Yeezy — were being investigated by local police over the incident.
“The images of West with his trousers down while in a taxi as he and his partner crossed the lagoon were seen all over the globe,” a Venice law enforcement source told the outlet, adding that they “received complaints from people who witnessed it.”
The source continued, “The images show the couple clearly in a state of intimacy, and if the local prosecutor decides to press charges then we will notify the couple, most probably through the relevant embassies.”
According to the source, the alleged “offense” was being looked at as possible public indecency, “which is punishable by an administrative sanction.”
Venetian officials also expressed outrage, though it’s unclear whether West and Censori were ever formally punished.
Their reps did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
