Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s accusation against dentist explained
Kanye West and Bianca Censori intend to file a lawsuit accusing dentist Dr. Thomas Connelly of malpractice. According to their legal team, Connelly allegedly caused West to become dependent on nitrous oxide.
The couple claims that Connelly not only administered excessive amounts of nitrous oxide during West’s cosmetic dental procedures but also provided him with large “surgical-size” gas tanks for use at home. They allege that this action enabled the rapper to inhale the gas outside any medical supervision.
In their legal notice of intent to sue, the duo’s attorneys argue that Connelly went as far as instructing West on “how to self-administer nitrous oxide” and continued the supply even as West began to show signs of neurological distress and erratic behavior. The notice also alleges, “Your actions and omissions were negligent, grossly negligent, and reckless, and some may have been intentional and malicious.” (via E! News)
The couple claims that West’s continued exposure to nitrous oxide caused significant physical and mental harm, including “neurological damage and psychological trauma.” West’s legal team asserts that the rapper’s addiction to the substance would not have occurred without Connelly’s actions.
It also highlights the impact on Censori, noting that she has been deprived of West’s companionship. The letter states, “Instead of enjoying a healthy married life, she was forced to witness Ye’s physical and mental distress and deterioration.” The notice also alleges that Connelly’s actions have caused serious disruptions in West’s life and career.
