"I hate it!" Julia Fox on her past relationship with Kanye West
Model and actress Julia Fox sat down with The Times for an extensive interview that covered various facets of her life titled, "S*x, drugs and dumping Kanye West — how Julia Fox won out". In the interview published on Saturday, October 12, the actress opened up about her disdain for her relationship with Kanye West.
Fox and West first met during a New Year's Eve 2021 party in Miami when Kanye was fresh off his split from ex-wife Kim Kardashian. The couple started dating and made a few public appearances together before calling it quits on the relationship on Feb. 14, 2022, which at the time was confirmed by a representative for Fox.
As mentioned earlier, Fox told The Times that she regretted that relationship "so much". She told the outlet:
"I hate it! It was only a few weeks but enough to last me a lifetime,"
She added:
"I was in probably the most uncomfortable position in my life and that’s saying a lot. I don’t want to be known for being anyone’s girlfriend."
Julia Fox further told the outlet that it wasn't her idea to go public with the relationship. As per the actress, she wanted to wait longer but the decision was allegedly made behind her back. Fox recalled realizing quickly that she was allegedly "being used as a pawn".
In her 2023 memoir Down the Drain, Fox opened up about her relationship with a man simply referred to as 'the artist'. Fox claimed in the memoir that the artist offered to pay for a "b*ob job", asked her to sign an NDA, and even allegedly had her outfits approved.
In her interview with The Times, the actress confirmed that the mysterious person was indeed Kanye West. In her 2023 memoir, the actress details how she and Kanye fought with each other throughout the whole relationship.
Lauren Pisciotta alleged that Kanye West s*xually assaulted her
In other news, Kanye West is facing legal scrutiny after his former assistant filed a lawsuit alleging SA against him on Tuesday, October 8. The allegations are part of an existing wrongful termination and s*xual harassment lawsuit Lauren Pisciotta filed against West back in June of this year.
According to California court documents obtained by The New York Post and The Daily Beast, the former OnlyFans model recalled meeting West, years before she worked for him at a Santa Monica music studio party hosted by him and Sean "Diddy" Combs.
During the event, Pisciotta alleged that West told partygoers to leave if they did not drink the alcohol. The former assistant remembered feeling "disoriented" after only taking a few sips and further recalled being in an "altered and highly impaired state". Pisciotta claimed to have not remembered anything that happened that night and was more concerned about whether she had embarrassed herself.
Pisciotta claimed to have been "too traumatized and disturbed" to talk about that night. Later, the influencer worked for West as a personal assistant from 2021 to 2022, when she was fired. After she was fired, she claimed that West confessed to having a "hook up" with her during the night she was allegedly drugged.
The "wildly devastating and uncomfortable" revelation left the influencer in "complete and utter shock". In her initial lawsuit back in June, Pisciotta claimed that West sent her inappropriate texts and explicit photos and videos of him engaging in intercourse with other women.
Lauren Pisciotta further alleged that West once locked himself in a room with her and engaged in m*sturbation before falling asleep. She alleged that she was promised millions in severance after being fired in October 2022, but claimed to have received nothing. Pisciotta stated that she was still owed money from her salary.
Back in June, Kanye West's lawyers claimed in a statement to Page Six that Lauren Pisciotta's lawsuit was "baseless". Ye is yet to respond to the newer allegations against him and Julia Fox's comments on their former relationship.
