Meghan McCain Calls Bianca Censori A Kanye West ‘Hostage’

The controversy erupted when Censori appeared on the Grammys red carpet wearing a sheer, see-through dress under a fur coat. As cameras flashed, she removed the coat, leaving little to the imagination. The move quickly ignited a firestorm of backlash across social media.

Following the awards ceremony, Meghan McCain took to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, to share her thoughts on the couple’s latest stunt.

The former “View” co-host took to social media to slam Kanye West and his wife after Censori arrived at music’s biggest night in nothing but a sheer dress and clear heels.

“I just want and have wanted for years — for Kanye West to leave us all the hell alone,” she wrote, before calling the rapper a “repugnant, vile piece of garbage” while also expressing concern for Censori, writing, “She looks like a victim and a hostage.”

McCain later deleted the tweet, but according to a representative speaking to Entertainment Weekly, its removal was an accident. The rep added that McCain stands by her words, doubling down on her criticism of West by calling him “a vile pig.”

West and Censori have long been known for their provocative and controversial public appearances, but their Grammys stunt pushed the outrage to new levels. Critics have accused West of exerting an unhealthy level of control over his wife, with many pointing to disturbing parallels between Censori and West’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.

A source previously told Daily Mail that while Kardashian had West’s influence over her wardrobe during their marriage, he was at least respected in the fashion world at the time. Now, however, his influence is seen as exploitative and damaging.

Concerns about Kanye West’s influence over Bianca Censori intensified following a controversial incident in Venice last year. The rapper was seen exposing himself on a boat while Censori was positioned in a way that raised eyebrows. The public display sparked outrage among locals in Italy, ultimately prompting authorities to launch an investigation into the couple’s behavior.

As public concern continues to grow over West’s influence on Censori, a viral video from “CBS Mornings” has added fuel to the fire. The footage captures a tense exchange between the couple on the red carpet, prompting lip-reading expert Nicola Hickling to analyze the interaction.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Hickling claimed that West deliberately instructed Censori to cause a scene. According to the expert, the rapper could be seen telling his wife, “You’re making a scene now,” to which Censori nodded in agreement.

West then allegedly pushed her further, saying, “Make a scene. I’ll say it’ll make so much sense.” When Censori shook her head, West insisted, instructing her to “Drop it behind you and then turn. I got you.” Hickling claims Censori ultimately complied, responding with “All right, let’s go.”

Sources told Page Six that the couple’s fashion choice was not spontaneous, but rather a deliberate recreation of West’s upcoming “Vultures” album cover. The album art, which features Censori posed with her back to the camera in thigh-high boots and minimal fabric covering her, served as the blueprint for their red carpet moment.

Further fueling speculation, West and Censori reportedly struck the same pose on the Grammys red carpet before their abrupt departure. The moment has led fans to question whether the entire stunt was simply a strategic publicity move to promote West’s latest project or another example of his increasingly controversial influence over Censori’s public image.

As Censori’s increasingly controversial appearances continue to make headlines, the public conversation has shifted to whether she is willingly embracing this radical transformation or if she is being coerced by West. Many have likened her to a “hostage” of West’s extreme creative and personal vision, as echoed by McCain’s comments.

While West and Censori remain unapologetic about their bold and often shocking public image, critics, including McCain, are growing louder in their concerns about Censori’s well-being and the unhealthy power dynamic at play.
