Armie Hammer’s ex, Elizabeth Chambers, shared grave concern over Kanye West’s treatment of his wife, Bianca Censori, at the 2025 Grammy Awards on Sunday.
In a fiery statement, uploaded to her Instagram Story on Monday, the TV personality, 42, accused West, 47, of forcing Censori, 30, into participating in a ‘humiliation ritual.’
‘The number of messages I’ve received defending this behavior is abhorrent,’ she stressed. ‘If this brief interaction looked comfortable, balanced, and consensual to you, that’s concerning.’
Chambers went on to say that West encouraging Censori to disrobe into a see-through slip on the red carpet was a case of ‘misogyny and control at its finest.’
‘I’ve spent the past almost two years hosting and producing our show about coercion, control, and toxicity in relationships on @investigationdiscovery and this ticks all the boxes,’ she claimed.
The mother-of-two also reposted influencer Tinx’s statement on the indecent exposure stunt, which she described as ‘uncomfortable to see.’

In Tinx’s post, she wrote: ‘I really don’t buy that this was some mutual art experiment. To me, it looked like some sort of humiliation ritual. Of course women have agency, but there’s also an insane power dynamic at play here. Age, money, fame, etc.’
The TikTok star, 34, pointed out that West’s ex, Julia Fox, detailed the rapper’s manipulation tactics ‘through fashion and styling’ in her 2023 memoir, Down the Drain.
Additionally, Chambers shared footage of West allegedly telling Censori to ‘drop [her] coat’ as she repeatedly shook her head.
Chambers split from Hammer back in 2020 after a decade of marriage, a year before he was accused of sexual and emotional abuse by other previous partners.
In 2023, she claimed to Elle that she learned of the allegations against him and his ‘bizarre’ sexual fantasies ‘as the public was.’
That same year, the Los Angeles County D.A.’s office declined to charges charges against him due to insufficient evidence.
Chambers has since helped ’empower victims’ on her Investigation Discovery, which aims to bring awareness to the ‘complexities of toxic and traumatic relationships.’
Following backlash over his red carpet stunt over the weekend, Kanye dismissed the ceremony as ‘boring’ and called Bianca’s outfit ‘art.’

‘People have called this a stunt but to Ye this is his art,’ a source told The Sun.
‘He turned up, made headlines around the world and left. No one told him what to do and even if they had, he wouldn’t have listened,’ the insider continued. ‘Ye always planned to do the red carpet and leave — he’d never sit through the Grammys because it’s so dull and boring.’
Despite speculation that she is being controlled by West, a close friend of the couple, who married in secret in December 2022, furiously slammed the speculation.
The source insisted to DailyMail.com that Censori is a ‘willing participant’ who was empowered by her husband to make a statement about ‘simplicity and provocation’.
The the exclusive interview, the insider described how West creates the outfits with his Yeezy designers, Censori included, and declared an arrest for indecent exposure would have strengthened the couple’s message.
‘Bianca is not being forced at all,’ they said. ‘She is a willing participant in this, and she is not controlled by Kanye. They build these looks together, sharing ideas and vision against the establishment of fashion and culture.
‘Ye is empowering Bianca, and Bianca loves this. They are doing this together, so any suggestion that they are not in on this together is false.’
‘The number of messages I’ve received defending this behavior is abhorrent,’ she stressed. ‘If this brief interaction looked comfortable, balanced, and consensual to you, that’s concerning’

Notably, West and Censori have a 17-year age gap.
The stunt is said to have lost Kanye a $20 million deal to play in Japan, according to sources in Tokyo.
West had signed up to do two shows at the Tokyo Dome in May, but following the naked stunt on the red carpet with his wife, his investors have taken fright.
A source said: ‘Kanye is just ****ing up every opportunity that comes to him. The stunt was creepy beyond belief and has been greeted with horror in Japan.’
He added: ‘Japan is having a cultural awakening about women’s rights and the MeToo movement is really strong here. What he did is being seen as an act of coercive control which is utterly unacceptable. He has completely culturally misjudged Japan.’
This is unfortunate as he has been living in a hotel in Tokyo for most of the last year.
On Monday, The View’s host Alyssa Farah Griffin, 35, shared a similar sentiment, calling the moment a ‘low’ point, and stating that she didn’t want Kanye or his wife on red carpets.
Despite speculation that she is being controlled by West, a close friend of the couple, who married in secret in December 2022, insisted to DailyMail.com that Censori is a ‘willing participant’
‘I don’t even want to dignify this other than to say: Kanye West, I don’t want to see him on red carpets anymore,’ she stated.
‘I hope that his partner is OK, because that whole thing was very uncomfortable, I think, for most women, to watch, and I just — I don’t want to see it or hear from it any further.’
She was not the only celebrity to publicly express her distaste at the X-rated stunt.
Former View co-host Meghan McCain shared in a since-deleted post on X, ‘I just want and have wanted for years — for Kanye West to leave us all the hell alone. He’s a repugnant, vile piece of garbage and his wife looks like a victim and a hostage.’
Her representative later told Entertainment Weekly that McCain deleted the post on ‘accident’ and that she still thinks West is a ‘vile pig.’
