EXCLUSIVE: Kanye West’s new wife Bianca Censori has upset her Italian family for ‘shunning them’ on their controversial visit to the country
Kanye West’s new wife Bianca Censori has slammed her Italian family for ‘avoiding them’ during their controversial visit to the country.
The couple have been to Venice, Milan and Florence in recent months – but have not been to see any of her relatives there.
During their trip to Venice last month, Kanye, 46, and Bianca, 28, caused outrage when they were accused of indecent exposure and public indecency in a water taxi.
The couple, whose marriage was recently confirmed, have also been flaunting some quirky outfits during their European summer holiday, with the former Bianca often wearing nude tights and bright tops.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Bianca’s cousin Fabiola Censori, who lives in Giulianova, said that while the couple have gained a lot of attention during the trip, the family feel ignored by her.

Speaking to MailOnline, Fabiola said: ‘We haven’t seen anything from Bianca’s family here for years.
“The oldest of my uncle’s children used to go for a while, but they stopped coming back to Italy years ago.
“I’ve never met Bianca but I’d love to – it was a shame she didn’t come to visit us when she was here in Italy on holiday.
“We could have shown her where her father, his brothers and sisters and her grandparents grew up.
“Her father came here years ago and we had a lovely evening together with the whole family and it was great to see him, but for Bianca and Kanye no comment. We feel a bit ignored’.
Another relative, who asked to be named only as Andrea, added: “I’ve never met Bianca but I hope the next time she’s in Italy she’ll come and visit us.
“I’ve heard all about it from other relatives and it sounds like a lot of fun – I imagine an evening out with her and Kanye would be really cool.”
Bianca’s grandparents, Filippo and Grazia Censori, emigrated from Giulianova in 1960 with their five children.

Shipping manifests show how Filippo and Grazia, then both aged 35, boarded a ship in Genoa with Edmondo, Eliseo, Elia, Elena and Eris before arriving in Melbourne.
The family moved in search of a new life just a few years after they were struck by tragedy when Bianca’s great uncle Gianfranco, then five years old, died of measles.
They took up residence in the newcomers’ village of Bonegilla, which was the setting for the BBC series Ten Pound Poms earlier this year with Michelle Keegan.
Bianca and Kanye have been in Italy for several months and reports have emerged that the “Heartless” hitmaker has instructed her to “never speak”.
He is also said to have drawn up a set of rules to live by, including specific foods she can eat and what she can wear, a source close to the Australian architect has claimed.
Sources said Bianca ‘doesn’t mind anymore’ and instead just ‘obeys’ the controversial rapper, who also goes by the name ‘Ye’, because he convinced her they have ‘royal’ status.
“Kanye has a set of rules for Bianca, which include never talking and wearing what he wants her to wear,” the source told DailyMail.com exclusively.
Wow: Kanye and Bianca flaunted some crazy outfits during their European summer break, with Bianca often spotted wearing nude tights and bright tops.
“She’s also required to eat certain foods and exercise, even though Kanye doesn’t work.
“She is out of her mind and obeys him because he has convinced her that they are royal.”
“Some of her friends eventually got around to meeting her, but she wasn’t interested in talking, nor was she interested in anyone’s concerns about her,” a close friend told DailyMail.com.
Last month, West and his ‘wife’ Bianca Censori sparked huge controversy in the city of Venice after they were caught placing a graphic display in the back of a river taxi.
The police investigated the couple for the ‘disrespectful’ event which involved West exposing his bare behind in public while Bianca curiously knelt in front of him with her head in his lap.
A spokesman for Venezia Turismo Motascafi – the firm that owned the boat the couple were on – said it was ‘fully aware’ of the incident.
The company has since banned the couple from using their boats in the future.
This ban is not the first in recent times, as Bianca has recently sparked controversy in Italy due to her clothing choices.
Local Italians also complained to the police that the 28-year-old was walking in public ‘practically naked’.
She managed to avoid a fine for this, but if convicted of public indecency, they could face fines of between €5,000 and €10,000.
The fashion designer – who is widely believed to be behind all of Censor’s recent and controversial looks – and his new muse were first romantically linked in January 2023.

It comes as MailOnline revealed last week how Bianca comes from a notorious crime family in Australia.
Her uncle Edmondo, 78, is a notorious gangster whose fearsome reputation earned him the nickname “Melbourne’s Al Capone”.
Bianca’s father, Elia ‘Leo’ Censori, 69, was jailed for possession of a prohibited heroin import and a loaded firearm.
As for younger sister Eris, Bianca’s uncle is a convicted murderer who was sent for execution but later sentenced to life in prison.
Edmondo has convictions for assaulting the police, threats and theft, and was also once involved in a murder but was never charged.
A relative in Giulianova said: ‘Wow. I am shocked. We knew nothing about it.
“We knew that Edmondo was a businessman involved in slot machines, but that’s it. He was also a good boxer. He was short but he was powerful.’
It was during the 1980s that Leo’s brother Eris, who was dubbed the Al Capone of Melbourne, found himself facing the death penalty for murdering a waiter in Western Australia.
With the death penalty later abolished, his sentence was commuted to life and he moved back to Melbourne in 1987 so he could be closer to his family and eventually be released on parole.
