Kanye West Rejects ‘Absurd’ Abuse Claims Amid Bianca Censori Controversies
Okay, I need to shorten this article to about 600 words and add some pictures. Let me start by reading through the original content to understand the key points.
The main points are:
- Kanye West’s rep denies abuse and control over Bianca Censori.
- They address the speculation from his tweets, including admitting to hitting women and defending Diddy.
- The rep, Milo Yiannopoulos, says Bianca controls her own outfits, like the Grammys dress.
- Controversy over the swastika shirt sold on Yeezy’s site, ADL’s response, and CyberWell’s actions against the site.
I need to condense each section. Maybe remove some repetitive quotes or details. The original has a lot of tweets and responses from organizations, which can be summarized more concisely.
Also, I should note where to place pictures. The original has several images; I need to mention them at relevant points with captions. The user might not need actual images, but mark where they’d go.
Check word count as I go. Start with the denial from the rep, then move to Kanye’s tweets, address the clothing control claim, the swastika shirt and backlash, and CyberWell’s actions. Conclude with the statement about reaching out for comment.
Watch out for redundancies, especially in the quotes from Yiannopoulos and the ADL. Use the most impactful statements without repeating the same points. Maybe combine some paragraphs where the same topic is discussed.
Ensure the flow is logical: denial of abuse -> explanation of Bianca’s agency in her fashion -> Kanye’s controversial statements -> swastika shirt and backlash -> watchdog’s actions.
Trim down details like the specific dates of events unless crucial. Also, the mention of the Super Bowl ad can be brief. Make sure the shortened version still covers all key controversies but in a more concise manner.
Kanye West’s Rep Denies Abuse Claims Amid Controversial Tweets and Swastika Shirt Backlash

A representative for Kanye West and Bianca Censori has dismissed rumors that the rapper controls or physically abuses his wife. Spokesperson Milo Yiannopoulos labeled the “battered Bianca” narrative “hysterical and absurd” in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. This follows West’s weekend tweets, where he admitted to having “hit women before” and controversially defended Sean “Diddy” Combs’ 2016 assault on ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
Grammys Outfit and Creative Control

Yiannopoulos denied claims that West, 47, pressured Censori, 30, into wearing her headline-making sheer Grammys outfit, which exposed intimate areas. “The name of the person controlling what Bianca wears is Bianca Censori,” he stated, calling her the “guiding creative intelligence” behind her style, though he noted West remains the “final boss” in their collaborations.
Controversial Tweets Spark Outrage
West sparked backlash by tweeting, “When a man truly loves a woman he may express it in rage,” seemingly rationalizing Diddy’s abuse. He also joked, “Is beating a girlfriend in public domestic violence or outdoor violence?” The tweets coincided with Censori denying allegations she posted a prayer for West’s “respect for all people,” which Yiannopoulos attributed to a fake account.
Swastika Shirt and Antisemitism Backlash

West’s Yeezy brand faced renewed criticism for selling a white T-shirt featuring a black swastika, labeled “HH-01” — interpreted as “Heil Hitler.” The Anti-Defamation League condemned the product, stating, “There’s no excuse for this behavior,” and criticized his Super Bowl ad promoting the site.
Cybersecurity Watchdog Takes Action

CyberWell, an antisemitism watchdog, urged domain providers Shopify and GoDaddy to remove Yeezy’s site, citing violations of hate speech policies. “Ye’s abuse of digital platforms… has not stopped at social media,” said founder Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor.
The controversies continue to fuel debates about accountability and hate speech, with Yiannopoulos yet to comment further.
