Kanye West and Bianca Censori have been banned for life by Venezia Turismo Motoscafi, a Venetian boat rental company. The ban comes in the wake of the rapper's recent act of indecent exposure during a boat ride in Venice.
Company's Statement on the Incident
Venezia Turismo Motoscafi informed Daily Mail Australia that the couple is "no longer welcome" on any of their boats. The company stated that their employees were "completely unaware" of West's actions until the photos became public. "The driver was focused on navigating and did not witness these inappropriate acts. Had he seen them, he would have immediately disembarked and reported the individuals to the authorities," said the company.
Third Person Obstructed Captain's View
The company also mentioned that a third person on board obstructed the captain's view to the back of the boat, making it difficult for him to notice the incident.
Company's Condemnation of the Act
Venezia Turismo Motoscafi strongly condemned the actions of West and Censori, stating, "We completely dissociate ourselves from such acts and behavior. Mr. West and his wife will certainly no longer be welcome on board our company’s boats."
Context of the Incident
The ban follows a week after Page Six released pictures of Kanye West, dressed in all black and partially covering his face, exposing himself while on a river taxi in Venice. Bianca Censori was also photographed sitting near him during the ride.
Aftermath of the Incident
Upon docking, Censori, 28, was seen adjusting her leather trench coat as they disembarked with an unidentified female companion. The couple had participated in a non-legally binding wedding ceremony in January, two months after West finalized his divorce from Kim Kardashian.
Kim Kardashian's Response
Last week, a source refuted rumors that Kim Kardashian, 42, was embarrassed by her ex-husband's actions or his public displays of affection with Censori. "Kim has very much moved on and only wishes Kanye and Bianca the best," said the source.
