Julia Fox Says She Dated Kanye West To ‘Get Him Off’ Kim Kardashian’s Back During Their Divorce

The 32-year-old model/actress gave an inside peek at her former relationship with the “Donda” artist and said it was an attempt to distract him from his “obsession” with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, 42.

The “Uncut Gems” actress responded to a TikTok user who commented she was dating a “famously violent misogynist and antisemite.” In the video, Julia Fox explained why she ever associated herself with the 45-year-old rapper, claiming he acted “normal” around her. She began with,

“I was just going to write about it in my book, and have y’all buy it, but I’ll just tell you guys for free. The man was being normal around me.”

Fox then expressed her love for the Kardashian family and recalled the time when they bought her clothes and sold them in their stores a decade ago when she had her own clothing line. She said,

“I’ve always had, you know, like a love for Kim especially, and like even Kourtney especially, like all of them pretty much. Like the big three, Khloé, Kim, Kourtney. Those are my girls.”

Fox continued,

“By the time me and [West] got together, it was like, he hadn’t been doing anything out there yet. The only thing he had done was change the name in the song and said, like, ‘Come back to me, Kimberly.’”

During the clip, Fox claimed she stopped responding to the rapper, which resulted in him accusing her of having “bad text etiquette.” She explained,

“I was like, ‘Oh my God, Kanye’s yelling at me, like, what do I do?’ But then I had this thought, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, maybe I can get him off Kim’s case.’ Like, ‘Maybe I can distract him and just get him to like me.’”

She shared,

“I will say that, that month that we spent together, he wasn’t on Twitter, first of all, he wasn’t on any forms of social media. He didn’t even talk about his relationship. We only really talked about clothes and, like, weird ideas and plans for the future and our hopes and dreams for childhood and education. It was really beautiful guys. The moment he started tweeting, I was out.”

By the time the media reported on their spark, she claimed the relationship had already ended. Fox admitted,

“I realized pretty quickly that he wasn’t going to take my help. I sounded almost as dumb as you guys, saying that I should’ve done something to stop him from saying… like what? But anyway I was delusional I thought I could help him. Anyway it didn’t work and now we’re here.”

In a follow-up clip, Fox defended her decision to help Kanye West, while also acknowledging the controversial remarks he has made on various media platforms. She said,

“Don’t get mad at me for doing what men trained me to do which is to overlook the bad stuff and focus on the good. And believe it or not there are a lot of really good things about Kanye West. And if you don’t think so, you’re probably f-cking racist.”

Fox ended with,

“And I say that while also acknowledging that the things that he has done and said are really, really messed up. But I can’t point the finger at him and say that he’s the reason that our world is so f-cked up because that’s white people.”

As previously reported, the movie star made it clear that she was the one who walked away from the relationship, stating she’s glad she did so. Fox dated Yeezy owner Kanye West for a reported two months earlier this year before calling it quits. Though it was much speculation surrounding the split at the time, Fox made it clear that it was West’s emotional drama that ultimately ended things.

According to reports, Fox said she wasn’t comfortable with her ex’s “unresolved issues.” She stated,

“It just seems like he had a lot to work on, and I just don’t have time for it or energy … I don’t have the bandwidth or emotional capacity for it. I’m proud of myself for that.”

Additionally, West’s expectations for his then-partner to drop everything and fly around to meet him on a whim were too much for her. Fox is the mother of a 1-year-old son who is her only priority right now.
