Julia Fox Says She Regrets Dating Kanye West, Calls It “The Most Uncomfortable Position In My Life”

The actress and model, Julia Fox, sits down with The Times, talking about her highly publicized but very short romance with rapper Ye, better known as Kanye West. Reflecting on the whirlwind romance, Fox shared that she deeply regrets the romance, claiming it placed her in the “most uncomfortable position” of her life.

Fox says she tried to keep her relationship with Ye-who she briefly was in a relationship with from the end of 2021 to early 2022-private. It seems that a short time later, the relationship was splashed across headlines and tabloids without her consent, using her like a pawn in a game she never agreed to play. Fox says during their time together, Ye mostly controlled pretty much anything when it came to her. She said she was being controlled, citing the telling of how to dress, offering cosmetic surgeries, and even asking her to sign an NDA.

She maintained that these pressures within the relationship hurt her and made her question why she was in the public eye. “I don’t want to be known for being anyone’s girlfriend,” Fox shared, detailing how the experience put her personal identity and career goals on the back burner.

Since her time with Ye, Fox has made large changes in her life. She says in the interview that she has since come out as a lesbian-she is now all herself. It seems the relationship was challenging but perhaps one that turned the actress toward self-discovery and growth.

While Fox has moved on from the past, her story surely epitomized the stresses and complexities of engaging in a high-profile romance. Nowadays, she is reportedly quite busy with her professional and personal life, leaving behind all remnants of her previous relationship with the music icon.
