Julia Fox Explains Why She Regrets Dating Kanye West “So Much”

October 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Julia Fox says she regrets her relationship with Kanye West “so much.” The two dated for a short period in early 2022, following his split from Kim Kardashian. She made the revelation in an interview with The Times published on Saturday, in which he reflected on her recent memoir, Down the Drain. She referred to West as simply “the artist” in the book.

“I regret that relationship so much,” she said when asked about dating the controversial rapper. “I hate it! It was only a few weeks but enough to last me a lifetime. 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.” She also revealed that she was against the two of them going public.

She hasn’t always had a negative outlook on the relationship. Reflecting on it during an interview with The New York Times back in June, she described it as a “blessing.” “You know, it was actually a blessing that he came into my life,” Fox said at the time. “He kind of shook up my team in a way where a lot of the creative control was then given back to me. I’d get into fights with my creative team about it and be really upset about it, but then ultimately always concede and just do what they wanted me to do because it was easier than arguing. When he left, it was like, ‘Well, I’m gonna do what I wanna do.’ I kind of felt like, ‘Oh my god, the world is my oyster. I’m my own muse.’”

Fox originally released Down the Drain back in October 2023. Since splitting from Fox, West has since married Bianca Censori. Be on the lookout for further updates on Julia Fox on HotNewHipHop.

Julia Fox Downplays Rumor That Kim Kardashian Copied Her Style

October 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Julia Fox isn’t buying into the notion that Kim Kardashian has copied her style, instead suggesting they both wear “what’s trending.” She discussed her admiration for Kardashian during an interview with Vanity Fair published on Wednesday. The comments come following the release of Fox’s new memoir, Down the Drain.

“I actually really love her,” Fox said of Kardashian. “I grew up watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians and I actually liked it before they were even cool. And when people would bash her I would always go to bat for her.” As for whether she thinks Kardashian has copied her style, Fox remarked: “I would say that there have been some looks that are a little similar to mine. But I feel like, you know, it’s just what’s trending. I don’t know if I’m on her mood board or anything like that.”

As for their similar styles, in 2021, Fox wore the same sheer Jean Paul Gaultier illusion dress that Kardashian rocked three years earlier at E! People’s Choice Awards. They’ve also overlapped wardrobes in designs by Alexander Wang, Versace, and Balenciaga, as noted by Page Six. Outside of just fashion, Fox dated Kardashian’s longtime husband, Kanye West, after their infamous divorce. In her aforementioned memoir, Fox revealed the reality star played a role in her split from West in February 2022.

“He tells me he had a good conversation with his soon-to-be-ex-wife and discovered a lot of information about me,” she recalled. Fox further alleged that Kim told West that he was now dating a former “drug addict.” She, however, said that she previously opened up to West about dealing with heroin addiction.

Julia Fox Explains Meeting Kanye West & How Their Whirlwind Romance Fell Apart

October 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

From the moment it began in 2022, pop culture fanatics have been dying to know more about Julia Fox and Kanye West’s unconventional relationship. At the time, there was speculation that the father of four was using the Uncut Gems actress to spite his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. In her new Down the Drain memoir, Fox essentially confirms these theories, making it known that there were several moments during her romance with Ye that left her in an uncomfortable state.

The mother of one allegedly first got into contact with the Yeezy founder after a mutual friend received an inquiry about Fox from West. He apparently called her up dozens of times, only to dominate the conversation. The socialite quickly earned herself an invite to celebrate NYE in Miami with the Graduation rapper, and he didn’t hold back. At one point during their night out, Ye began peeing in the venue’s parking lot while his date shielded him from the public. Afterward, they shared a steamy makeout session that was followed by dinner at Carbone the next day.

During that outing, the “Off the Grid” artist bluntly asked Fox if they could date and take their union public. This is when she began to grow concerned about the validity of their fling. “I feel like he’s using me in some weird, twisted game. It makes me feel dirty,” the fashionista wrote in her book. The final few days of their time together took place in Paris for Fashion Week, where Julia and Kanye argued frequently, according to her recount of the events. When gifting her and friends Birkin bags, he allegedly made them recreate photos and videos of the moment several times, rubbing the starlet the wrong way.

Elsewhere in her Down the Drain memoir, Julia Fox revealed that Kanye West offered to pay for her breast augmentation during their relationship. Though she’s been no stranger to cosmetic procedures in the past, this was one opportunity that the Italian-born actress didn’t mind refusing. Read everything she had to say about that at the link below and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news.

Julia Fox’s New Memoir Revealed When Kanye West Reportedly Asked Her To Be His Girlfriend And How He Offered Her A ‘Boob Job’

October 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

“Praise God” rapper Kanye West’s love life and intimate moments with his alleged new wife, Bianca Censori, have produced more than a few NSFW moments in the media. But if you thought it would die down soon, more details about West’s romantic pursuits are resurfacing thanks to his former fling, Julia Fox. In her new book, Down The Drain, the actress outlined her whirlwind relationship with the mogul from when he asked her to be his girl and beyond. So, what does Fox say about West in the memoir?

According to People, although Fox does not explicitly name West in the literal work, the timeline aligns with the period in which they were involved. In one passage, Fox alleged that West almost immediately had his team intervene with her fashion choices. She also accused West of treating her like “a show monkey.” One excerpt highlighted by the outlet suggested that West offered to pay for a “boob job” for Fox.

“His words stick to me like a piece of lint on my clothes. I can’t shake off the uncomfortable feeling,” penned Fox.

Fox also revealed that when asked to be West’s girlfriend, she initially declined the offer, to which he reportedly replied, “If you’re worried about me embarrassing you, I wouldn’t do that. You have a son, and my mom was a single mom.”

Fox began promoting the book as early as March 2022 when she attended the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party. When asked on the red carpet about its then progress, she said, “I don’t want to give too much of it away because I’m very superstitious. So I don’t like to speak of things before they’re finished. It’s so far a masterpiece if I do say so myself… it was a memoir at first, but now it’s just like my first book.”

The book also explores other parts of Fox’s life, including her usage of drugs, rebellious childhood, and film career.

Fox’s new book, Down The Drain, is out now. Find more information here.

Kanye West & Julia Fox’s Relationship Included Boob Job Offers While Playing Uno, Her Memoir Alleges

October 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

After much anticipation, Julia Fox’s memoir, Down The Drain, has finally arrived. Longtime fans of the Uncut Gems starlet have been eager to read all about the tumultuous ups and downs of her life before fame. As for hip-hop heads, they’re mostly curious about the few months that Fox was in Kanye West’s orbit. The unconventional pair attended Fashion Week (and various other events) together in early 2022, though it wasn’t long before their differences, and the intensity surrounding Ye’s divorce from Kim Kardashian, drove them apart.

Prior to her book’s release, Fox shared with the press that the nature of her and the rapper’s relationship wasn’t sexual. However, as Page Six notes, she did reveal that West offered to pay for her plastic surgery while they spent the day playing card and word games. “We spen[t] the day playing Uno and a game that involves highlighting positive words in the dictionary,” an excerpt published by The Guardian this past weekend says. During that link-up, the “Through the Wire” hitmaker reportedly told Julia, “I’ll get you a boob job if you want.”

The Italian-born entertainer denied West’s offer and made it clear that she only had “good intentions” when entering into a whirlwind romance with him. “I went into it… feeling all this could be real, and it could be amazing, and he could open so many doors,” Fox told readers. “I learned very quickly that I was being weaponized, I just felt like his little puppet,” she previously shared.

While Julia Fox continues to replay her short-lived fling with Kanye West for the media, the father of four has obviously moved on with Bianca Censori. Just last week, confirmation of the pair’s marital status came out, though Ye has reportedly told his bride “never to speak again.” Read more about those rumours at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

September 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Julia Fox has been marching to the beat of her own drum long before she found herself in the spotlight. She’s taken full advantage of setting herself apart from the competition since making her debut alongside Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems. There’s no one doing it quite like the Italian-born starlet is. This is precisely why both fans and critics are eager to read her Down the Drain memoir when it finally arrives at bookstores next month. Fox has been on a bit of a press tour in recent weeks promoting the project. She’s notably for editorials in Cybr Magazine and on the cover of King Kong‘s Americana issue.

Those photoshoots saw the 33-year-old dramatically switching up her look and flaunting her slim thick body. However, what’s really caught our attention is the latest post on her Instagram feed. On Friday (September 29) afternoon, Fox posted a promotional video for her soon-to-be-released book. It consists of behind-the-scenes clips captured during modelling gigs. She’s admitted to having work done on her body in the past. Still, it’s obvious that the entertainer has been spending time in the gym lately too. She clearly looks more shredded than ever before.

Julia Fox has made it known that she goes into uncomfortable depth about her life at many points throughout Down the Drain.
