Overview
- Jeromy Holding told jurors Ye scolded him after he mistook Kim Kardashian for Bianca Censori during an early site encounter.
- Holding testified Ye’s directives shifted repeatedly, with concepts ranging from a bomb shelter to a monastery, a recording studio, and a playground.
- He said demolition at the Tadao Ando–designed Malibu house moved forward without permits, noting coastal approvals would likely take years.
- Holding recounted seeing Tony Saxon in visible pain on the job, including after jackhammer use and while removing chimney stacks.
- Ye’s lawyer argues Saxon was an unlicensed independent contractor paid more than $240,000 for roughly six weeks, with Ye and Censori expected to testify later this week.
