Julia Fox is getting real about her brief romance with Kanye West, revealing in a new interview that she wishes it never happened. The actress and model sat down with The Times and didn’t hold back, calling their relationship one of the most uncomfortable experiences of her life.
Fox, who first rose to fame as a dominatrix-turned-actress, explained that she wanted to keep their relationship under wraps, but things quickly went public against her wishes. Reflecting on the whirlwind romance, she claimed she was used as a pawn by Kanye and described feeling controlled during their time together. Fox confirmed that Kanye was the “artist” she wrote about in her memoir Down the Drain, in which she shared how he picked out her outfits, offered to pay for a boob job, and even asked her to sign an NDA.
“I was in the most uncomfortable position in my life and that’s saying a lot,” Fox revealed. “I don’t want to be known for being anyone’s girlfriend.”
The pair made headlines in late 2021 and early 2022, often seen together in highly-publicized moments, including their matching leather outfits during a trip to Paris. However, Fox said the couple fought most of the time, and their relationship fizzled out after just a few weeks.
Since then, Fox has taken a different turn in her personal life. She revealed over the summer via TikTok that she identifies as a lesbian, moving away from her past relationships with men like Kanye.
Fox’s candid reflections on her time with Kanye provide a deeper insight into the pressures of dating someone constantly in the spotlight and remind fans that not all high-profile romances are as glamorous as they seem.
