EXCLUSIVEThe chilling reason Bianca Censori's family believe their daughter has become Kanye West's nude plaything
A friend of the Censoris has revealed the family's fears for daughter Bianca as reports swirl she and husband Kanye West are heading for divorce following a string of degrading 'publicity stunts'.
Bianca's parents, Elia 'Leo' Censori and his wife Alexandra, are said to be deeply worried for her wellbeing but fear that expressing their concerns publicly will put a strain on their relationship.
'Kanye has been very lucky to have the opinions of his in-laws kept out of the media,' said a family friend, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
They also confirmed the close-knit Censoris were only biting their tongues for the sake of their daughter, who told them 'it would be easier for everyone if less was known and less was said'.
Indeed, her fiercely protective mother has been tight-lipped on Bianca's marriage, even among family and close friends, allegedly at her daughter's request.
'But I can only see their silence benefiting Kanye because there's no accountability. He can literally do what he likes and they don't say anything,' added the insider.

While Alexandra is still refusing to discuss Bianca and Kanye publicly, she has apparently been mortified by the last 18 months of 'publicly stunts'.
But after Bianca appeared nude under a see-through dress at the Grammys earlier this month, our source believes Alexandra is as close as she has ever been to 'breaking point'.
'Bianca's family still doesn't know the full story [of their relationship] or why Kanye is doing these obscene public gestures,' the insider continued.
'They have gone back and forth on what Kanye's motivation is and the most common theory is still that Bianca is being used as a pawn to embarrass Kim Kardashian.'
Fans have long speculated that Kanye is using Bianca to humiliate his ex-wife and mother of his four children, but this is the first we've heard of Bianca's family having similar concerns.
Since meeting Kanye, Bianca, who is of Italian descent, has changed her physical appearance significantly to more closely resemble the SKIMS founder.
Her transformation has coincided with a series of exhibitionist displays that culminated in her wearing a see-through dress at the Grammys.
The dramatic shift in her lifestyle has come to a shock to old friends in Melbourne, where she graduated from Carey Baptist Grammar School in 2012 and went on to obtain a master's degree in architecture from the University of Melbourne.

Mr Censori, believed to be in his 60s, also did not deny he had asked his daughter to leave West, who was recently mired in another antisemitism storm

They remember her as a 'smart, independent' girl who seemingly bares no resemblance to the voiceless Kim Klone being splashed across the tabloids.
Our source went on to say: 'The Censori family fears Kanye is still obsessed with Kim and doubt if he has ever been genuine with their daughter.
'Despite their worries, Alexandra has chosen to go on with her life as normal in the hope the marriage will have an expiry date and Bianca will come home to Australia.'

Mr Censori, believed to be aged in his 60s, also did not deny he had asked his daughter to leave West, who was recently mired in another antisemitism storm.
When we put our questions to Mr Censori, he pondered a response for several moments before saying, 'I don't want to talk about that.'
It was the first time he had spoken since his daughter's Grammys red carpet stunt on February 2 sparked worldwide outrage and countless think-pieces.
Mr Censori, a former criminal, was hard at work at his legitimate slot-machines business in Melbourne where he was seen loading deliveries and buying lunch for his staff prior to speaking to us.
A week ago, Alexandra Censori told Daily Mail Australia her family was just trying to continue life as best as they could outside of the spotlight.

'We are just normal people, living our own lives as privately as we can,' she said.
'I have nothing to say about Bianca, thank you.'
Donning $500 sunglasses and carrying an Hermès Birkin handbag worth AU$28,800 (£14,450 or US$18,000), Bianca's mum oozed class as she made her way to her Mercedes-Benz during our approach.
It's understood the family is also further distancing themselves from Kanye after their son-in-law's recent antisemitic rants.

The 47-year-old rapper, now known as Ye, sparked backlash after a barrage of hateful tweets in the aftermath of the Super Bowl, which he used to promote his website.
Those who went to the site found just one item for sale: a $20 white T-shirt featuring a swastika.
The controversial merchandise launch came just hours after a 12-hour spree of racist, homophobic and sexist tweets on X on Thursday night, which also included one begging President Trump to free rapper P Diddy, who is accused of sex trafficking, from prison.
These included antisemitic remarks, where he expressed support for Adolf Hitler and stated he would never 'trust or work with Jewish people' again and insisted he 'will not apologise' for his views.
Daily Mail Australia revealed in August 2023 that Mr Censori did jail time after being convicted in 1982 on a charge of possessing a prohibited import (heroin). He was sentenced to five years behind bars with a minimum of three.
Leo is also the brother of Eris Censori, a notorious gangland killer once dubbed 'Melbourne's Al Capone'.
Eris was sentenced to death in Western Australia for a murder, but the sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment.
The death penalty was abolished in Western Australia in 1984, although the last execution in Australia took place in 1967.

Eris and Leo's eldest brother Edmondo, known as 'Eddie Capone', has convictions in Victoria for violence, including assaulting police, theft and threats.
As well as heroin dealing, Leo also has convictions for possessing a pistol and fully jacketed ammunition.
In 1991, Leo's former wife Faye Glascott spilled the beans on an alleged illegal gambling empire.
She told Herald Sun reporter John Silvester that Leo had been involved in a cartel that controlled a large slice of a lucrative illegal gambling industry in Melbourne during the 1980s.
Ms Glascott at the time said her former husband had made a fortune from illegal gambling.
'I have seen the money,' she said. 'Leo can stack money better than a bank.'
She said she had found rolls of money - up to $40,000 - hidden around their Alphington home and recalled seeing about $60,000 sitting on their coffee table.
Silvester, who also wrote the hit Australian crime series Underbelly, with fellow crime reporter Andrew Rule, revealed Bianca's dad was marked for death in the 1990s.
'Censori accepted a police guard when detectives discovered a group of bandits planned to kill him,' he wrote then.
'Police were told a gang intended to kill Censori in the garage of his home and steal his takings from the gambling machines.
'The gang expected him to be carrying about $60,000 cash. Police guarded Censori even though they knew he was heavily involved in illegal gaming.'
Leo served two years of his five-year sentence over the drug charges after an Australian Federal Police raid which found heroin in the kitchen.
Growing up in the well-heeled suburb of Ivanhoe, it is believed Bianca later lived in the $2.8million Alphington home where her parents still reside.
The leafy suburban property sits well away from busy streets, the bustling city, and the even louder world of media Bianca was thrust into after her 'marriage' to Kanye.
Kanye reportedly married Bianca in a private ceremony in December 2022.
They wed just one month after his divorce was finalised from Kim Kardashian, with whom he shares four children.
In October last year, rumours swirled across the world that the couple had split and Bianca had returned to Australia.
In the months before that story broke, Bianca had been pictured spending more time with her family amid reports of Kanye's 'controlling behaviour' and concern about the couple's bizarre public displays and her near-naked outfits.
Bianca's parents flew from Melbourne to China in September to support their daughter at Kanye's Vultures album listening party.
Her father, mother and younger sister, Angelina, all made the trip after claims Leo's relationship with Kanye was 'on shaky ground'.
Angelina is now forging her own track to social media stardom in the wake of her sister's marriage to Kanye.
Bianca's father reportedly wanted to confront the Jesus Walks rapper about her X-rated outfits earlier this year. A source claimed he was angry West had turned his daughter into a 'trashy commodity'.
Since then, fresh divorce rumours emerged on Thursday, with sources close to West claiming they expect a legal filing to end the marriage in the coming days.
The speculation has been denied by West's camp.
