(Picture: Publisher handout / Evan Agostini/Invision/AP,)AMERICAN PSYCHO author Bret Easton Ellis caused an audience walk-out on the London leg of his book tour last night as he defended his former collaborator Kanye West over anti-Semitic comments.
Speaking in a Q&A at Westminster’s UnHerd Club, Easton Ellis said. "Kanye now is no different from the Kanye I met in 2013. He is outrageous, he is provocative. I don’t believe he is an anti-Semite”, Easton Ellis said. “He is a destroying artist. He wants to live in a world that is completely free. He just wants to say ‘f*** you’ to everybody." West, who now goes by the name Ye, has recently praised Adolf Hitler and flirted with Holocaust denial.
