Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, plan to sue Beverly Hills dentist Dr. Thomas Connelly, alleging medical malpractice and financial manipulation.
The couple claims Connelly administered excessive nitrous oxide to West, leading to addiction and severe health issues. This high-profile lawsuit could reshape discussions on medical ethics and celebrity care.
West and Censori accuse Connelly of charging $50,000 monthly for nitrous oxide, a gas they say caused West’s chemical dependency, neurological damage, and emotional trauma. According to a notice obtained by Page Six, the couple alleges fraud, gross negligence, and exploitation, claiming Connelly tried to control West’s Yeezy LLC. These actions, they assert, harmed West’s health, brand, and their relationship.
