The alleged incident happened on Tuesday night (April 16) and came after the culprit allegedly touched Censori inappropriately.
Nobody involved required medical attention.

It was initially reported that the man “pushed or grabbed” Censori, but West’s representatives later said: “‘Grabbed’ is grossly inadequate as a description of what happened. Bianca was physically assaulted.”
They added: “The assailant didn’t merely collide into her. He put his hands under her dress, directly on her body, he grabbed her waist, he spun her around, and then he blew her kisses. She was battered and sexually assaulted.”

At this time, Censori has not filed a sexual assault claim, while Kanye has yet to comment on the incident.
It is not the first time the Chicago rap icon has been accused of assault or battery.

Last year, he was sued by a female photographer who claims she feared for her life and was left “traumatized and humiliated” by Yeezy after he threw her phone away.
Footage of the incident was captured by the photographer’s business partner and showed Kanye approaching her car window after he and Bianca Censori were being tailed. Kanye also flashed what the woman called a “death stare” in her direction.
“You all ain’t gonna run up on me like that,” Ye could be heard telling her in the clip. “If I say stop, stop with your cameras.”
The rapper then proceeded to rip the phone out of her hands and toss it in the street, with the woman claiming it landed into oncoming traffic.

Before that, in 2022, West managed to evade an assault charge after punching a fan from inside of his car outside of a Los Angeles hotel.
At some point during the altercation, Kanye was heard yelling: “Did y’all say that or not? Did y’all say that or not? ‘Cause that’s what happened right fucking now!”

Kanye was also arrested twice in 2008 and 2013 for fighting with paparazzi photographers at Los Angeles International Airport. His criminal record was ultimately expunged.
