Bianca Censori and Kanye West’s Grammys appearance wagged tongues after she showed up in a see-through dress, and now her family life has been exposed.
West and Censori have had a highly public relationship since his divorce with ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
When your life is open to the public like Censori’s is, sometimes things that you’d rather leave out of the limelight are revealed for all to see.

So, it’s understandable that the wife of Ye has been relatively quiet since getting hitched.
But now her whole life has been blown wide open, shedding light on her family’s criminal past.
Having grown up in Australia, Censori's family was allegedly heavily affiliated with a life of organised crime.

According to Perth Now, Censori’s relatives, including her father and uncle have ties with Australia’s criminal underbelly.
The outlet revealed that her uncle, Eris Censori was sentenced to death for the murder of Michael Sideris in 1982, but this was commuted to life imprisonment.
Eris was also jailed for eight years and fined $20,000 for heroin dealing and then in 1985, he was acquitted of conspiring to smuggle cannabis into his Albany Prison.
Censori’s dad, Elia, aka ‘Leo’ Censori, was also in prison for five years from 1982 for the possession of heroin and a loaded pistol.

Allegedly, Leo was well known in the criminal world, and even received threats against his life, leading him to accept police protection in the 90s.
Censori’s other uncle, Edmondo also had convictions in Victoria for violence.
This included including assaulting police, theft and threats, as per Perth Now.

Leo’s ex-wife, Faye Glascott, lifted the lid one day and spoke to journalist John Silvester of the Herald Sun about her life with Censori’s father.
She said they argued in a Herald Sun 1991 interview with Silvester about her finding heroine in her kitchen.
She revealed: “I was fighting with him because he was going into the kitchen to measure things using my utensils. I didn't like that stuff in my home."
However, his crimes posed a real threat to his life.

The journalist wrote at the time that he needed police intervention to keep him safe, explaining: “Censori accepted a police guard when detectives discovered a group of bandits planned to kill him.
“Police were told a gang intended to kill Censori in the garage of his home and steal his takings from the gambling machines. The gang expected him to be carrying about $60,000 cash. Police guarded Censori even though they knew he was heavily involved in illegal gaming.”
According to Leo’s ex-wife, he will never change his ways.
She said: “I tried to coax Leo into going into a legitimate business; to use his money, to turn it into white money, to go into something where he didn't have to worry about it.
“But there is the criminal in Leo. He gets a buzz out of the police trying to catch him and he beats them by changing the programs on the machines. He gets a buzz out of that.
“He loves the lifestyle; that's why he'll never change.”
Leo’s current wife is Alexandra, Censori’s mum who lives in Melbourne with sisters, Angelina and Alyssias.
