Potential jurors for the legal dispute involving Kanye West’s $57 million Malibu home have expressed disapproval of his behavior and his wife, Bianca Sensori’s, impulsive fashion choices.
In a Los Angeles court on Tuesday morning, Judge Brock T. Hammond asked jurors if they had already formed opinions about Kanye West or Sensori. Most indicated they had.
One juror, a retired woman, commented on Sensori’s style: “I don’t know if she’s his wife, but her expression was just off-putting. I don’t want to see that. It’s just disgusting!”
Another juror, a retired teacher, was even more direct: “I don’t support him. My family is very much against this guy.”
A third juror, who works in IT, mentioned that he had encountered some of Kanye’s remarks online and felt his view of him had soured. He described having “seen some of the abuse” that’s been directed at him.
Moreover, a former journalist recalled being in the middle of the BLM protests and remarked on Kanye’s comments regarding Jewish people. She criticized him for oversimplifying complex issues and for a lack of depth in his analysis.
Sensori has also drawn criticism for her nearly naked attire at the Grammys last year. The same retired juror noted, “I saw it on Facebook. I’m not sure if she’s his wife, but her attitude really put me off.” Despite her disapproval, she claimed she could remain unbiased if she were chosen as a juror.
Kanye West and Bianca Sensori are expected to testify once the jury has been finalized.
This case revolves around a lawsuit filed by Tony Saxon regarding the noisy renovation of the Malibu property that Kanye purchased a few years back.
Saxon claims he faced unpaid wages, unsafe working conditions, and wrongful termination after taking on the duties of managing and safeguarding the home during its renovations.
He is seeking over a million dollars and is closely watching the jury selection alongside his team of prominent attorneys.
