Kanye West could face another financial blow after his wife Bianca Censori was left so ‘traumatised’ by his vile antisemitic diatribe that she is now refusing to continue shooting their new film, insiders claim.
It comes after reports the rap mogul, 47, lost a $20 million deal to play in Japan as a result of his controversial stunt at the Grammys which saw Censori, 30, posing near-naked.
The Australian designer is playing the lead in a fictional art film, partly shot in Japan and co-created by West, 47, and their creative circle, with a focus on the female body as ‘something to showcase’.
But she is reportedly struggling to recover from his repulsive rampage on X which saw him post a slew of antisemitic, homophobic and sexist slurs, as well as using his Yeezy website to sell a $20 white T-shirt featuring a swastika.
The shocking three-day spree has left the fate of their $25 million film in jeopardy, with two producers on the verge of walking out, DailyMail.com can reveal.
‘Bianca is deeply traumatised by Ye’s actions, and she does not align with these views at all,’ an insider said. ‘She is horrified by what he has done, as are so many people close to Ye.
‘She is so put off by this that she is currently refusing to continue shooting.’
They said the film is ‘entirely funded’ by the couple who married in secret in December 2022.
Censori, an architecture graduate, had been described as a ‘brilliant actress’ after taking on the lead in the all-female cast.
DailyMail.com was previously told the production would deal with how ‘shame over being naked is not natural to humans’ and that ‘obscenity exists only in the mind.'
Shooting recently wrapped in Japan but was scheduled to continue at an undisclosed location. This is now on hold with its future ‘uncertain’ if Censori does not return.
‘The situation is now at a standstill, as two producers involved in the project are on the cusp of quitting over his antisemitic rants,’ the source said. ‘With production paused over Bianca's refusal to continue, the future is uncertain.’
West made mention of the film on X hours after their headline-grabbing red carpet stunt at the Grammys which saw Censori turn her back to photographers, drop her fur coat and expose her naked body underneath a sheer nude dress.
'My wife’s first red carpet opened a whole new world,' wrote the Grammy-winner. 'I keep staring at this photo like I was staring in admiration that night Thinking wow I am so lucky to have a wife that is so smart talented brave and hot.
'She took a break from shooting her first film to make a movie in real life.'
The shock move jeopardised his two shows at the Tokyo Dome in May, after being 'greeted with horror in Japan'.
'What he did is being seen as an act of coercive control which is utterly unacceptable,' a source said. 'He has completely culturally misjudged Japan.'
West renewed his attack on the Jewish community last week, referring to himself as a Nazi, claiming he 'loved Hitler,' and insisting that he will never 'trust or work with Jewish people' again.
'IM NEVER APOLOGIZING FOR MY JEWISH COMMENTS I CAN SAY WHATEVER THE F**K I WANNA SAY FOREVER WHERES MY F***ING APOLOGY FOR FREEZING MY ACCOUNTS SUCK MY D**K HOWS THAT FOR AN APOLOGY,' he wrote.
Hours later he promoted his ‘greatest performance art piece thus far' – a swastika T-shirt – during the Super Bowl.
He stated: 'So funny how N****** rapping about killing N****** is not hate but posting a swastika is hate.'
His Yeezy site was swiftly suspended by its hosts Shopify, with Isla Fisher and David Schwimmer spearheading a growing number of celebrities condemning him.
The site closure was said to be a ‘blow’ for Censori as it had become a ‘key source of income for them both, and she does not know how to recover from this.’
‘When he endorsed the sale of items bearing a swastika and the phrase “Hail Hitler” this crossed a line because his repulsive and hateful attack could have dangerous consequences,’ the source said.
The controversial artist, who recently claimed he was autistic after allegedly being misdiagnosed as bi-polar, unfurled a succession of shocking tweets over the weekend which included an array of anti-Semitic, homophobic and sexist slurs, as well as pornographic content, which saw his X account deactivated.
He also took aim Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, plus size-models, used the highly offensive F-word and reiterated his 2018 claim that 'SLAVERY IS A CHOICE'.
He called on President Donald Trump to free Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who is awaiting trial, as he plugged a clothing collaboration with the incarcerated rapper's Sean John line.
He then appeared to mock Combs' violent assault of his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura which was exposed in shocking hotel security footage from 2016.
'When I [sic] man truly loves a woman he may express it in rage I empathize with both sides,' he said of the incident.
He shared a photo of a hoodie he was selling on his Yeezy website that is identical to the one she was wearing at the time, dubbing it the 'Love Hoodie.'
Days later 33&West agent Daniel McCartney announced he had cut ties with the disgraced rapper.
'Effective immediately, I am no longer representing YE (F/K/A Kanye West) due to his recent harmful and hateful remarks that myself nor 33 & West can stand for,' McCartney said in a statement on his Instagram Stories. 'Peace and love to all.'
Censori has yet to publicly address her husband's comments, which she was initially unaware of.
'Bianca was unaware that he was doing this,' a source told DailyMail.com last week. 'They're in LA and he started this in the middle of the night.'
Last year a separate insider claimed Censori was 'really sick of his attention seeking' and concerned that his outbursts were 'making her look like she is anti-Semitic which is so far from the truth.'
