What Kanye West told Grammys red carpet staff before Bianca Censori's coat-dropping debut: lip reader
Grammys red carpet staff can't tell him nothing.
Kanye West spoke at length to a group of people working the awards show Sunday, according to a video shared by Access Hollywood — and a lip reader is analyzing the exchange.
Jeremy Freeman told the Daily Mail Tuesday that the rapper, 47, appeared to be issuing instructions to the individuals surrounding him before his shocking step-and-repeat with wife Bianca Censori.
'Does that make sense?' the Yeezy creator seemingly asked. 'Push that out of the way. … That person right there.
'Push him out. There,' the songwriter continued as he assessed the red carpet.
Censori, 30, stood by her husband's side in the footage with an enormous black fur coat wrapped around herself.
While the model had the outerwear on when she posed moments later, she then turned around and let her coat slip to the ground.
Underneath, Censori was wearing a completely sheer dress.
Lip reader Nicola Hickling told the Daily Mail on Monday that West allegedly told his partner to 'make a scene' and 'drop [her] coat.'
While Censori seemingly shook her head multiple times in CBS Mornings' red carpet video, she supposedly replied, 'Alright, let's go.'
TMZ reported that the architectural designer will not face legal consequences over the viral moment, which marked her and West's red carpet debut.
Grammys executive producer Raj Kapoor told People Tuesday that the Crypto.com Arena event's 'artistic black tie' dress code is 'up for interpretation.'
'Obviously there is a dress code for anybody actually performing on the show that we have to adhere to standards and practices,' he explained.
However, Kappor continued, 'As far as people attending and nominees attending, that would be something the [Recording] Academy would have to answer.'
As Meghan McCain, Elizabeth Chambers and more celebs have blasted West and expressed concern for Censori, he has only doubled down via Instagram Stories.
'We beat the Grammies [sic],' the record producer gushed to his followers, saying the same to a paparazzo on Tuesday.

Jared Leto Accused of Sexual Misconduct by Multiple Women, Including Minors
Summary Oscar-winning actor and musician Jared Leto is facing serious accusations of sexual misconduct from at least nine women, according to a detailed report published byAir Mailon Saturday, June 7, 2025. The allegations describe a pattern of inappropriate behavior spanning over a decade, with some women claiming the incidents occurred when they were underage. The report includes interviews with nine women who describe troubling interactions with the 53-year-old actor. 'It's been an open secret for a long time,' an anonymous woman told the outlet. Among the disturbing allegations are claims that Leto asked sexual questions to a 16-year-old girl, walked out of a room nude in front of a 17-year-old, and exposed himself and masturbated before putting an 18-year-old's hand 'on him.' One woman, a model who was 16 in 2008, recounted meeting Leto at an animal rights event before visiting his studio, where she claims he flirted with her and appeared nude. Another woman stated she was also 16 when Leto approached her at a Los Angeles cafe, and later called her at night with sexually suggestive conversations. These allegations gained renewed attention last month when DJ Allie Teilz reposted a Facebook status from 2012 on her Instagram Stories, accusing Leto of inappropriate behavior when she was 17. She described his actions as 'predatory, terrifying, and unacceptable.' Following her post, Teilz shared over 50 responses from individuals who reported similar experiences, some of whom were reportedly as young as 14 to 16 years old at the time. A representative for Jared Leto has vehemently denied all allegations, asserting that the claims are 'demonstrably false' and that there was 'never any recruiting, complaints, or impropriety.' They have stated that Leto has abstained from drugs and alcohol for over 35 years. As of now, no criminal charges have been filed against Leto, and he has not publicly addressed the allegations himself.

A New Role & a Rare 2-Word Comment: Prince William's Subtle References to Prince Harry This Week
Another week, another set of appearances from the royals—and this one was a big one: Prince William made his first appearance in Wattisham, Suffolk as Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps, a position bestowed on him by King Charles in 2024, but more notably, one that likely would have gone to Prince Harry had he not exited the royal family in 2020. (The Army Air Corps is Harry's former regiment with the Duke of Sussex serving as a pilot with the Corps during his second tour of Afghanistan up through 2014, something he opens up about quite a bit in Spare.) When Charles made the announcement of William's appointment back in 2023 around the time of his coronation, it was a bit controversial, but also speaks to a larger issue that looms over his reign: Harry. (More on that in a minute.)As part of William's appearance this week, he also had the chance to chat with soldiers who were on a water break from combat training. It was there that the Prince of Wales brought up the topic of family, according to the Daily Mail. 'Is the pace of life good at the moment?' he asked. One of the soldiers replied that it was a 'mixed bag,' which is when William took that two-word phrase and ran with it: 'Families OK? See you enough? Some of them might not want to see you that much. It's a mixed bag sometimes.' Oof. Whether or not William was directly referencing the situation with his brother is up for interpretation, but it resurfaces the mounting pressure for the Prince of Wales and the king to extend an olive branch and make a public move toward reconciliation with the Sussexes—or put themselves at risk of this being the line that is forever drawn when it comes to their royal reputations. (My guess is that this is the opposite of what they want.)That's not to say that William and Charles aren't justified in their actions—two things can be true. As many reputable publications have reported, trust issues are certainly at play. Harry's perspective is the public perspective, for better or worse, but in the case of the monarchy, the family is intertwined so deeply with the business, it feels logical for an effort to be made to smooth things over if only to achieve some sort of closure that removes this asterisk on their legacy. Based on Harry's recent chat with the BBC, he's ready and willing, not to mention openly asking for it. The ball is in their court. The problem is that until they make a move, no matter how good Charles's (and William's) public performance is, the private family drama will overshadow and minimize those efforts. Like I said, there are bigger issues at play: A lack of trust, battles over security, so much. This royal rift runs deep. But the 'never complain, never explain' motto beloved by the late Queen Elizabeth II doesn't seem to be working here and the noise around this issue is getting louder. The choice is theirs.

Bianca Censori Leaves Locals In Spain 'Horrified' With Racy Display During Market Outing With Kanye West
Bianca Censori sparked outrage in Mallorca, Spain, after wearing a sheer top during a market visit with Kanye West. The Australian model's racy outfit swiftly prompted backlash, with critics calling the look "inappropriate" and "disrespectful." Bianca Censori and Kanye West, known for provocative fashion choices, also made headlines at the 2025 Grammys when Censori appeared nude. Censori stirred controversy over the weekend while shopping with husband West in Mallorca, Spain, after stepping out in a sheer black fishnet top that left little to the imagination. The 30-year-old Yeezy architect raised eyebrows as she browsed stalls at a local outdoor market, her chest visibly exposed beneath the see-through outfit. Witnesses described the scene as shocking, with one onlooker telling that passersby were audibly questioning whether her outfit was real. "People were horrified. They could be heard asking, 'Is that her real nipple?' as they walked by," the source recalled, noting that West "was standing back a little, letting her browse the market." See photos of Bianca Censori's racy look here. Though the bold fashion choice left some residents visibly uncomfortable, Censori wasn't breaking any laws. Since 2020, under Catalonia's gender equality legislation, women in parts of Spain have had the legal right to go topless in public, including on beaches and in certain outdoor spaces. According to The Daily Record, local authorities face steep fines of up to €250,000 if they infringe on these rights by attempting to stop topless women in approved areas. Though Censori's daring style choice didn't break any laws, social media erupted with complaints, with many calling the outfit "inappropriate" and questioning why authorities hadn't intervened. "Why hasn't this woman been arrested for indecency yet!!!?" one person wrote. Others chimed in, labeling her appearance "disrespectful" to Spanish cultural norms. "We have literally seen it all, even when we didn't want to. So disrespectful to the country and their modest views," read a comment. Another critic noted: "How do they get away with this nudity? If any other non-celeb tried it, they would be arrested." Despite the uproar, Censori wasn't alone. Her 29-year-old sister Angelina joined the couple, dressed far more conservatively in a black sundress with her hair pulled back into a neat chignon. Meanwhile, West departed from his usual all-black attire, opting for jeans and a hoodie with the word "Army" on it. West and Censori continue to stir controversy with their headline-making fashion choices and public behavior. Censori, in particular, has drawn backlash for her risqué style, which often leaves little to the imagination. One of their most talked-about moments occurred at the 2025 Grammy Awards, where Censori arrived in a dramatic black fur coat, only to shed it on the red carpet and reveal a completely see-through look underneath. The stunt sparked outrage and fueled rumors that the couple was headed for a split. Despite ongoing speculation about their relationship status, the controversial couple has kept a united front. They are reportedly in Spain working through personal issues during what insiders called "crisis talks." During the trip, West posted a photo of Censori dressed in a daring silver corset and thigh-high leather boots. However, despite maintaining a public image of unity, behind the scenes, tension is reportedly brewing between West and Censori. According to insiders speaking with The U.S. Sun, the "Runaway" rapper is blocking Censori from pursuing high-paying brand deals, causing friction in their relationship. Insiders claim Censori is growing increasingly "frustrated," yearning to build her own identity and financial independence apart from her husband. "She knows she could make tons of money," a source said. "She wants to explore opportunities as a model, brand ambassador, and a talented individual, not just someone living in the shadow of her husband. But Kanye keeps shutting her down." With aspirations to break into modeling and brand partnerships, the insider noted that Censori could earn up to "$6 million annually." "She keeps pushing for more independence, but he always says no, and she won't accept a deal without his approval," they added.
