"I learned very quickly that I was being weaponized," Fox says.

During a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Julia Fox opened up about her past relationship with Kanye West. The actress and model started her short-lived fling with Ye shortly after his split from Kim Kardashian. Fox claims that despite feeling a real connection with the hitmaker at first, things turned sour when she started to feel like their bond was only created in spite of his ex.

"I really understood him on a visceral level," she explained. "But I learned very quickly that I was being weaponized." Fox describes feeling as though she'd be helping Kanye, who she thought was in a "precarious situation" amid his breakup. Eventually, she started to get the sense that things weren't what they seemed initially. "I just felt like his little puppet," she says.

Fox hasn't been exactly tight-lipped about their romance in the past, which is something she's unapologetic for. "I'm not signing a f*cking NDA just on principle. I never have, and I never will," she added. "Unless it's a professional opportunity, then sure." Fox also says that had she not been a mother, she might have been inclined to stick things out with Ye for longer, as she made "lot of money" during their relationship. She welcomed her son, Valentino, with her ex-husband Peter Artemiev in January of 2021. "If I was still that version of myself, I would have probably just been like, 'It's a good opportunity, just do it,'" she explains. "Now that I'm a mom, I have a higher moral standard for myself."

Ye just officially tied the knot with his new wife Bianca Censori, amid concerning reports surrounding their own dynamic. Alleged insiders claim that she must follow a strict "set of rules" which Kanye's put in place. According to the source, the Australian model is to "never speak" and "has no mind of her own anymore."
