“There appears to be a significant power imbalance, with Kanye West exerting control over her,” human behavior and relationship expert Patrick Wanis, PhD, toldBored Pandavia email.
Censori and Ye caused astir on the 2025 Grammys red carpet, with the Australian-born model putting her body on display, wearing nothing but a see-through sheer dress and no lingerie, in front of camera-wielding paparazzi.
Later the same night, she walked hand-in-hand with her husband into a Grammy afterparty at L.A.’s Living Room Club.

At the party, there was one awkward moment where Censori was singing along to Adele’sRolling in the Deepand grooving, seemingly trying to gain her husband’s attention.
However, the Grammy-winning rapper seemed oblivious to his wife and more interested in his phone.
“Kanye West was focused on his phone screen, completely ignoring her,” Dr. Wanis said.

“He then abruptly took the microphone from her—demonstrating both his power over her and his lack of validation or interest in her or her actions,” he continued.
TheFind Love Fastauthor said the moment was a “striking example” of how Censori “does not seem free, confident, or happy in this dynamic.”

Since the controversial couple tied the knot in 2022, Censori has not made any public statements, given any interviews, or maintained an active social media presence.
Yet, she is often the subject of headlines for her provocative fashion choices, all made while her husband does not bat an eye.
Her lack of saying anything in public could be saying something about what goes on between them behind closed doors.

“To date, there are no examples where Bianca freely expresses herself beyond rigid, sexually-objectified poses. There is little visible warmth between her and Kanye, and he frequently walks ahead of her in public, reinforcing the dynamic of his control over her,” Dr. Wanis said.
Ye shared a post on thecontroversial outfitand described his wife as his “best friend” and “the most beautiful woman ever.”
“Custom Couture Grammy dress for the most beautiful woman ever. My love, my best friend, My wife,” the Grammy-winning rapper wrote.
The post was later deleted.

Their red carpet stunt ignitedwidespread criticism from popular figuresand social media users. It even fueled speculation about whether Ye was exerting control over Censori, with her outfit choices being one manifestation of this.
“Bianca has consistently presented a persona where her value is communicated solely through her body. She does not express herself through words or emotions,” Dr. Wanis said.
He explained that her expressions tend to be “blank, empty, and void.” She is rarely captured smiling, and her demeanor appears to be void of any kind of “warmth, enthusiasm, excitement, or inspiration.”

The celebrity life coach pointed out that this is starkly different to other professional models, “who often convey longing, yearning, melancholy, mystery, intrigue, confidence, power, sensuality, eroticism, strength, playfulness, elegance, or grace.”
“Bianca’s expressions are vacant and vacuous. There is no mystery or intrigue, there is no sensuality or allure; there is just emptiness and a lack of soul,” Dr. Wanis said.
“Over time, she has alsoundergone cosmetic enhancements, lips, breasts, and other alterations which further reinforce the idea that her identity is tied purely to her physical form,” he went on to say.

The trauma therapist also noted that there could have been plenty of reasons why Censori agreed to marry Ye in the first place.
The numerous possibilities that may be an explanation for her behavior could include the model seeking validation and approval or believing she needs to “earn his love.”
Another possibility is that she is drawn to his power and influence or that she is seeking protection and security for herself.

“Regardless of the exact reason, there appears to be a disconnection from her authentic self,” Dr. Wanis said.
“It seems unlikely that her true identity is solely expressed throughprovocative clothing and sexualized poses. The absence of warmth and emotion suggests emptiness—and possibly a deeper search for healing, validation, or security,” he concluded.
Netizens had mixed opinions about their dynamic, with some wondering whether she’s a “tool” to stir controversy
