Kanye West’s wife Bianca Censori will reportedly not face legal action for her nude look that shocked the Grammys.
The controversial rapper, 47, and the Australian model, 30, arrived on the red carpet together at the Crypto.com arena dressed in all black.
However, Censori later dropped her black feather coat in front of photographers to reveal a sheer mini-dress.
According to TMZ, LAPD sources confirmed that there will be no legal fallout from the stunt as the Grammy Awards is a private event and no one from the show contacted police to make a complaint.
In a statement to Page Six, LA-based lawyer Andrea Oguntula further clarified the legal position: “While Ms. Censori’s outfit undoubtedly pushed the envelope, a charge of indecent exposure in California requires willful public exposure of one’s genitals with the specific intent to offend or sexually arouse.
However, Censori’s outfit may have been in violation of broadcast dress codes. In 2013, Deadline reported that exposed “breasts, buttocks [and] genitals” are banned at the Grammys, per a "Standard and Practice Wardrobe Advisory” instated by television network CBS. The document states that “buttocks and female breasts” must be "adequately covered” in order to be broadcast.
The Federal Communications Commission, which governs rules around US television broadcasts, states in their own advisory that obscene content is not protected by the First Amendment and is “prohibited on cable, satellite and broadcast TV and radio." Those rules prevented CBS and other networks hosting Grammys red carpet shows from airing the stunt.
While some early reports claimed that West and Censori had been “escorted out” of the Grammys, it later emerged that the couple had simply left the event after walking the red carpet.
