Kanye West’s ex Chief of Staff Milo Yiannopoulos, makes shocking claims against his former celebrity boss

August 7, 2024 | | Print Article

Rapper Kanye West’s former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, has unveiled a flurry of wild allegations against the rapper’s dentist.

In a complaint filed with the California Dental Board, Yiannopoulos accused dentist Thomas P. Connelly of “reckless, unethical, dishonest, explorative and, upon information and belief, illegal conduct,” as reported by the Daily Mail.

In an affidavit filed in tandem with the complaint, he wrote that he was “motivated” to take action “by urgent concern” for the rapper’s “health and safety.”

FYI, Yiannopoulos was reportedly fired by West in May:

In these documents, Yiannopoulos described Connelly as having given “the unlawful supply of enormous quantities of nitrous gas to a wealthy, famous patient for explicitly recreational use” as well as “the physical transportation of four surgical size canisters by Connelly himself into the patient’s home on just one afternoon.”

In other words, Yiannopoulos accused Connelly of getting West high on nitrous oxide. Connelly allegedly charged “more than $50,000 per month for the service” and continued “to supply the gas along after the emergence of distressing symptoms that led to widespread comment and concern,” Yiannopoulos wrote.

Connelly also provided “instruction to the patient in the operation of nitrous gas canisters” he left “at the patient’s home” and “knowingly encouraged their use in the absence of a qualified anesthesia or medical professional by a person with a history of mental illness and addiction.”

Worse, the dentist then abandoned “said patient” (West) to the “self-destructive consequences of dependence, showing indifference or worse to the prospect of permanent damage and brain or body.”

Yiannopoulos added that based on what he knows, Connelly was “fraudulent” in taking “millions of dollars … from a patient he knew to be in a confused, dependent, weakened and addicted state.”

The former chief of staff also claimed that at one point Connelly moved “into the patient’s apartment building, at the patient’s own expense, so as to ‘better keep an eye on him.'”

According to Yiannopoulos, after he was promoted in January and given access to West’s financials, he discovered the whole organization was $200 million in debt and bringing in zero income. He responded to this finding by immediately laying off over 130 people.

The next two months, he “devised and deployed strict spending protocols, travel policies, limits on expenses and other financial controls” to try and balance West’s books. In doing so, he discovered an extraordinary amount of fraud.

It was in examining the books that Yiannopoulos became aware of Connelly, who was reportedly introduced to him “as the dentist who assisted [West] in the design and installation” of his “much-admired titanium prosthodontics.”

Connelly presented “himself as a well-connected, successful entrepreneur” and had “supplied West with advisors … who demanded gigantic sums for their services” while proposing “widespread and disruptive changes” to West’s business structure.

But, Yiannopoulos wrote, it became clear to him that his boss’ “growing dependence on nitrous gas, and not Connelly’s business expertise” was what Connelly was relying on “to seal the deal.”

According to Yiannopoulos, West’s other employees were by April also “worrying about” his dependence on nitrous oxide.

By that time, the rapper “seemed to be in an out of the inhaler mask on a near-constant basis,” and his communications “were becoming incomprehensible and contradictory.”

At one point a bunch of West’s employees raised concerns about seeing “four large surgical tanks of nitrous oxide” being taken into his wife Bianca Censori’s apartment.

Yiannopoulos also wrote that the symptoms of West’s “widely-reported bipolar diagnosis and the side effects of prolonged nitrous gas abuse are strikingly similar,” with the symptoms including “erratic behavior, mood swings, paranoia, and violence.”

Yiannopoulos further wrote that one of West’s employees had told him that they’d witnessed the rapper “self-administering the nitrous gas provided by Connelly.”

He added that he felt Connelly was “aware” of West’s “psychological vulnerabilities” and ought “to exploit them.”

He concluded by recommending that federal law enforcement investigate Connelly and that medical authorities suspend his license.
