Italians have imposed a lifetime ban on Kanye West and his alleged wife, Bianca Censori, in response to their recent controversial behaviour on a boat in Venice. The couple sparked widespread outrage when they engaged in explicit conduct on a Venetian water boat, with Kanye West exposing his bare buttocks to onlookers.
Photographs capturing the couple's explicit actions quickly circulated, shocking the city of Venice. In these images, the 46-year-old American rapper was seated at the back of the water boat, while his purported Australian bride, 28-year-old Bianca Censori, rested her head on his lap. This behaviour not only offended sensibilities but also represented a serious breach of the decorum and respect associated with Venice's cultural legacy.
Venezia Turismo Motoscafi, the company responsible for renting the boat to West and Censori, responded promptly to the scandal. They released a statement condemning the couple's indecent actions and unequivocally revoking their privileges to use their boats. The company claimed to have been completely unaware of the transgressions that occurred on their vessel until the explicit photos became public.
Local authorities in Venice have taken decisive measures as well. In a bid to safeguard the city's reputation as a cultural treasure, they have barred Kanye West and Bianca Censori from ever entering Venice again. Venice will not compromise its unique charm and history for sensational behaviour.
