Ye Sued for More than US$1 Million by Ex-Worker as Wife, Bianca Censori, Testifies in Home Renovation Case
Handyman Tony Saxon is suing Ye for $1 million, alleging unpaid wages, unsafe conditions, injury, and wrongful termination during Malibu mansion renovations, court testimony reveals.
- In a Los Angeles courtroom, Bianca Censori testified Thursday about her role in Ye's Malibu renovation, while Ye testified Friday in a lawsuit seeking over $1 million from Tony Saxon.
- Saxon says he was hired in September 2021 and worked roughly seven weeks, alleging 16-hour days, 24/7 security duties, and on-site living with makeshift sleeping arrangements.
- Court testimony described the property's stripped condition as the 4,000-square-foot, four-bedroom mansion was left a concrete shell with no windows, doors, electricity or plumbing, while Saxon alleges injury and a $3,320 sanction was ordered.
- Reporters and gallery observers said Ye at times appeared to nod off, while the presiding judge asked attorneys to 'make things a little snappier' as lawyer Zambrano pressed Ye with detailed memory questions.
- Both sides have now rested and closing arguments are scheduled Monday, with Ye facing several trials in coming months after buying the estate for $57 million and selling it for $21 million to developer Steven 'Bo' Belmont.
