Kanye West Team Questions Handyman Witness After Finger Injury in Malibu Renovation Trial

The civil case focuses on Tony Saxon’s allegations of unpaid wages during a hazardous 2021 overhaul of West’s Tadao Ando Malibu home.

Overview

  • Handyman Jeromy Holding testified in downtown Los Angeles, describing long days and chaotic working conditions that aligned with Tony Saxon’s account.
  • Holding appeared with bandaged fingers after surgery to reattach a pinky, and West representative Milo Yiannopoulos publicly mocked his credibility.
  • Holding said West repeatedly shifted the renovation vision, cycling through concepts including a bomb shelter, a monastery, a recording studio, and a playground.
  • He also recounted mistaking Kim Kardashian for Bianca Censori in 2021, an incident that led to a confrontation with West before he kept his job.
  • West’s team denies the safety and wage allegations, calls Saxon overpaid and underqualified, and says he received about $250,000, while Saxon seeks more than $1 million.
