RTE star Claire Byrne weighs in on Kanye West’s ‘naked wife’ stunt at Grammys and reveals overshadowed ‘real story’

RTE star Claire Byrne has weighed in on Kanye West’s “naked wife” stunt at the Grammys.

The Runaway rapper and his wife Bianca Censori caused quite the stir at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, which were held on Sunday, February 2, in Los Angeles.

Bianca, 30, shocked onlookers at the prestigious Hollywood event by wearing nothing but a sheer dress over her naked body.

She paraded her bare figure as she posed beside her stern-looking husband Kanye West, 47.

Initially, she covered herself in a big black fur coat as she made her way onto the carpet, before turning her back on the paparazzi and removing it slowly.

Bianca – who married Kanye in December 2022 – then turned and faced them directly, maintaining a cool expression as they snapped photos of her bare body.

The fashion stunt has taken over the commentary that followed the Grammys and thousands of people have shared their opinions.

RTE host Claire Byrne took to Instagram last night to give her twopence on the controversy.

The mum-of-two revealed the real star of the show for her saying: “Social media coverage about the Grammys bombarded us with the story of a strange man telling his naked wife to pose for the cameras, when Cynthia Erivo, belting out Fly Me to the Moon, was the real story.

“A fully-formed star.”

Kanye allegedly hosted a watch party during the ceremony before heading over to his after-party with his longtime pal Justin Laboy, who hosts the podcast The Download.

The event ran from 10 pm until 2 am and insiders told The U.S. Sun it was only fun for die-hard Kanye fans who wanted to be in his presence.

“It was a really young crowd and people were mostly just stood around holding their cell phones trying to video Ye, some people left saying it was whack and not worth staying,” one source said.

“Ye has his interview with Justin projected on a large screen and then played new tracks, it wasn’t really a party atmosphere.

NO YE!

“The only time people were seen dancing was when Bianca sang along to Adele’s Rolling In The Deep.”

Kanye played at least one new track featuring his daughter North West and confirmed in the podcast preview that his new album, Bully, will finally be released on her birthday, June 15.

Kanye was then seen posing for the paparazzi next to his all-chrome Mercedes Maybachs and signing autographs.

At one point, he is said to have hesitated when he was presented with a photograph of him interrupting Taylor Swift‘s acceptance speech at the Grammys.

He eventually agreed to sign it and appeared happy to be chatting to fans after the party and be back in Los Angeles after spending months in Tokyo, Japan.

‘I was apoplectic’ – Irish mum’s fury over 10 days without power as she demands apology & blasts ‘we were abandoned’

A MUM-OF-THREE who had no power or water for ten days after Storm Eowyn said she “felt depressed” on day five but admitted that “by day seven I was apoplectic”.

Maggie Lyng and her family feel let down by the local and national authorities in their failed reaction to families like hers who were left to fend for themselves through bitter cold temperatures.

The artist and healthcare assistant lives with her husband and three daughters in a rural location in Boardsmill, near Trim, Co Meath and her home, along with five other houses, only had power restored on Sunday morning.

She said: “I’ve only three spots of internet in the house and I was leaning backwards on the couch with the phone a certain way to the window to get a signal and when I looked back, the lights were on at 11.50am.

“The power often goes here for some reason. We could be out five times in a year but only up to maybe two days at most. 

“We have a gas stove and hob so at least we had some way to heat the house and cook something.

“Day five I was really down but day seven, I lost it. I was apoplectic with everyone. I said every politician was as full of s*** as my toilets were and if anyone mentioned a community hub, I was ready to take the heads clean off them.

“I went out to the garden and screamed, threw a few things around and kicked another few things. The dog was even depressed.”

She said she felt badly let down by the government, who she believes owe the people an apology in the response to a national emergency.

The mum blasted: “Community hubs?  A shop offering to charge phones. That’s no refuge for people in dire straits who need somewhere warm to sit, somewhere to shower and somewhere they can gather to share a cup of tea in company.

“These hubs didn’t have clothes washing facilities and you can’t take a shower by the lotto machine in the local shop.

“All help, no matter what, was so appreciated but what they could offer was limited especially as people’s needs became greater with each passing day.

“One place I went to didn’t even know they were listed as a hub.

“There was a failure by the state in their duty of care to us. Our welfare was vacated. We were totally abandoned by local, regional and national government.”

ESB Networks said approximately 25,000 homes, farms, schools and businesses remain without power today – 11 days on from Storm Eowyn.

Restoration works are continuing with the help of crews from Austria, Finland, France, the UK, Germany, Netherlands and Norway, who are on the ground in the worst impacted areas.

Maggie said they rented a hotel room in Trim for their daughters one night but she and her husband went home to maintain the fire – the only bit of heat in their home. 

FULL LIST OF STORM NAMES 2024/25

THE Irish meteorological service, along with the national weather services of the UK and the Netherlands, each contributed seven names to list of storm names for this season.

The new storms list runs from early September until late August the following year, coinciding with the beginning of autumn.

The system of naming storms was first launched in 2015 so that the communication of severe weather is easier.

And Met Eireann’s contributions were taken from a list of more than 500 suggestions by primary school children participating in ESB Science Blast last February.

Ireland contributed the names Conall, Darragh, Hugo, Izzy, Naoise, Poppy and Vivienne.

Letters Q, U, X, Y, Z are not included, which is in line with the US National Hurricane Centre naming convention.

The full list for 2024/25 is:

  • Ashley
  • Bert
  • Conall
  • Darragh
  • Eowyn
  • Floris
  • Gerben
  • Hugo
  • Izzy
  • James
  • Kayleigh
  • Lewis
  • Mavis
  • Naoise
  • Otje
  • Poppy
  • Rafi
  • Sayuri
  • Tilly
  • Vivienne 
  • Wren

In addition, costs such as food waste, water, candles, takeaways and deli food have all added to an already cost pressing January.

She said: “By day nine, we nearly had to sit on top of the fire wearing jackets and coats to get any heat, the house had grown so cold. 

“I didn’t hear a thing from any politicians. At a time when people had no power and no internet, there should have been cars driving around with loudspeakers telling people where they could go and what they could do.

“It has been an absolute eye-opening experience. 

“Every village may not have a shop or a church but most have a school and they should be given generators to open a classroom to locals in times like this where they can charge phones, get a bit of heat into them and talk to other people.   

“I’ve heard so many stories of people on their own who have been so lonely and so cold for too long. 

“I really feel that the government needs to give us an apology.”

Дієтолог назвала популярний продукт, який прискорює обмін речовин

0 Спалити калорії, придушити апетит і прискорити метаболізм може червоний перець. На обмін речовин перець впливає завдяки вмісту в ньому капсаїцину, розповіла турецький дієтолог Хюлья Чагатай. Спеціаліст пояснила, що стимуляція симпатичної нервової системи призводить до викиду з мозкової речовини і надниркових залоз катехоламінів. Це прискорює енергетичний і жировий обмін. За словами Чагатай, перець стимулює спалювання […]

Вчені створили міцний пластик, який можна переробити

Дослідники створили придатну для вторинної переробки біологічну альтернативу термореактивним пластикам із використанням дигідрофурану (DHF). Дослідники Корнельського університету розробили альтернативу термореактивним пластмасам, які придатні для повторної переробки, — довговічному класу матеріалів, які зазвичай використовуються в автомобільних шинах, замінних тазостегнових суглобах і кулях для боулінгу. Реактопласти характеризуються структурою зшитого полімеру, що забезпечує виняткову міцність і довговічність. Однак ця […]
