Furious Italians ban Kanye West and ‘wife’ Bianca Censori for life after couple commit a lewd act on a boat in Venice: ‘He is no longer welcome’

Kanye West and his Australian ‘wife’ Bianca Censori have been suspended for life by a Venetian boat rental company after their indecent exposure scandal in Italy last week.

The couple sparked controversy last Monday when they were spotted enjoying an amorous moment on a water taxi in Venice, with West baring his bare buttocks to staring tourists.

Footage of the couple showed the American rapper, 46, sitting in the back of the river taxi, while his Australian so-called bride, 28, rested her head on his lap.

Venezia Turismo Motoscafi, the company that rented the boat to West and Censori, has since spoken exclusively to Daily Mail Australia and confirmed that the couple are ‘no longer welcome’ aboard their boats.

In its statement, the company condemned the twosome’s lewd activities, while confirming that it was “completely unaware” of what happened on the boat (the photos were made public).

“On board, the driver had to watch the traffic and did not see these obscenities. If this had happened, he would have disembarked immediately and reported the offenders to the authorities.’

“In addition, there was a third person on board the taxi, accompanying Mr. and Mrs. West, who in any case obstructed the captain’s view to the stern.”

The third person was a woman depicted as chaperone of West and Censori during their Italian vacation.

The company subsequently denounced the couple’s explicit display, saying: “We dissociate ourselves completely from such acts and behavior.

‘Mr. West and his wife will certainly no longer be welcome aboard our company’s boats,” she added.

Venezia Turismo Motoscafi is one of Venice’s leading private navigation companies and boasts an impressive array of celebrity clients including Lady Gaga, Harry Styles, Florence Pugh, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck.

It comes after online critics argued that Kanye’s naked display constituted “public indecency,” a charge that Italy’s Constitutional Court says carries a fine of up to €309 (AU$520).

“How can these two not be arrested for lewd conduct?” one commenter complained, while another agreed: “Public indecency! Keep it for the privacy of your own home.”

Another added: “Italian authorities should arrest them for indecency and disgraceful behavior in public. There is clearly a lot of activity, the children have probably seen that.’

Yet another user complained, “What’s wrong with them? Maybe it’s time for the police to step in,” as someone else asked, “Why won’t the Italian government police or anyone else stop them?”

Other users said the salacious display was “disrespectful” to residents of the conservative Catholic nation.

“Stunts like this make all Americans devoid of any class or respect,” one user lamented.

“I wish the police would arrest these two for their ignorant behavior. They make a mockery of the country,” added another.

Other concerned fans wonder if the bizarre display is proof that the rapper is “controlling” Bianca.

“Can’t anyone see that these two people need help? Where is this woman’s family and Kanye definitely has people interested in his well-being,” one wrote.

‘Poor girl. She looks miserable,” one commented, while another added, “Well, she sure doesn’t look happy.”

Another fan claimed that Bianca should “get out of that sick relationship,” while another wrote, “How humiliating for you. That poor woman needs help. She looks miserable. Free Bianca!’

One user called Kanye a “sicko” for the explicit portrayal.

Before boarding the boat, West was covered head-to-toe in an all-black ensemble, while Censori wore a knee-length trench coat that she paired with a pair of nude heels.

But both shed their layers as they came aboard, with Censori ditching her coat in favor of a strapless nude number while West pulled down his pants exposing his bare butt.

Things seemed to get very hot as Censori rested her elbows on his knees, then cradled her head as they sailed down the river.

West and Censor have sparked anger among locals over the past month for their strange clothing choices while on holiday in Italy, with critics particularly targeting Censori for “walking around virtually naked” in the conservative Catholic country.

The brunette has stepped out several times with her bare breasts clearly visible under sheer mesh outfits.

Among them was the outrageous nude catsuit, in which she was forced to cover her nipples with a black crossbody bag.

According to major tourism website CIU Travel, local residents find it “offensive” to see visitors “wandering through the streets in various states of undress.”

The website says: ‘Walking around in beachwear or, worse, without a shirt, is a big no-go in Italy, unless your feet are deep in the sand.’

It remains to be seen if West or Censori will face any sort of official punishment for their latest over-the-top display.

The fashion designer – who is widely believed to be behind all of Censori’s recent and controversial looks – and his new muse first got romantically involved in January 2023, just months after his divorce was finalized.

The couple married in a private ceremony in Beverly Hills in January, about two months after the rapper’s divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalized.

However, the legality of the union is in question as they have not filed a marriage certificate.

Kardashian previously filed for divorce in February 2021 after six years of marriage.

During their long-lasting romance, West often referred to her as his “muse” and heavily influenced her fashion choices.

The former couple shares four children together: North, 10, Saint, seven, Chicago, five, and Psalm, four.
