AceShowbiz - Milo Yiannopoulos, Kanye West's former chief of staff, has accused West's dentist Thomas P. Connelly of providing the rapper with excessive amounts of nitrous oxide for recreational use. According to a legal affidavit filed by Yiannopoulos, Connelly exploited West's "psychological vulnerabilities" despite being aware of his addiction to nitrous oxide, also known as "laughing gas" or "hippy crack." The affidavit alleges that Connelly charged West over $50,000 per month for supplying "enormous quantities" of the gas.
Yeezy staff members reportedly expressed concerns about West's growing dependence on the gas, observing him wearing an inhaler mask continuously. The affidavit claims that prolonged nitrous oxide use can produce symptoms similar to West's bipolar diagnosis, including mood swings, paranoia, and impaired communication.
Yiannopoulos alleges that Connelly abandoned West to the "self-destructive consequences" of addiction, showing indifference to the potential for permanent damage. He believes Connelly took advantage of West's vulnerable state and defrauded him of millions of dollars.
In response to these accusations, Connelly's representative has dismissed them as "not only factually incorrect but also intentionally misleading." To TMZ, they claim that Yiannopoulos is fabricating claims for attention and attempting to harm Connelly's reputation. Connelly's team maintains that he adheres to ethical and legal standards.
Kanye West has not publicly addressed these allegations. Meanwhile, Yiannopoulos has submitted his affidavit to the FBI and the California Dental Board, requesting that Connelly's license be suspended.
