A Representative For Kanye West Speaks Out
According to TMZ, a representative for Ye reached out to the outlet on Wednesday evening with additional information about the alleged incident.
“‘Grabbed’ is grossly inadequate as a description of what happened. Bianca was physically assaulted,” the statement reads. “The assailant didn’t merely collide into her. He put his hands under her dress, directly on her body, he grabbed her waist, he spun her around, and then he blew her kisses. She was battered and sexually assaulted.”
No additional information about the alleged incident has been reported at this time. However, Ye and Censori were seen the day after, on Wednesday, April 17.
At the time, the pair were recorded walking through Disneyland.
