Julia Fox expressed regret over her highly publicized relationship with Kanye West, noting her comments come at a time when West’s current wife, Bianca, is reportedly facing a similar situation—a circumstance Fox had wished to avoid.
In a discussion with The Independent, the actress from “Presence” shared her dissatisfaction with the lack of privacy in her past relationship with the Chicago rapper, which has left her with a bitter taste for public romances.
“Dating that man for a month – one month,” she continued. “And that’s why I have such a sour taste in my mouth about dating anyone in this sphere. Because I don’t ever want to just be known as someone’s girlfriend. I know I’m so much more than that.”
The Uncut Gems star said, “And I feel like that happens so much to women in this industry. They’re only as good as their partner or they can make a whole career off being some guy’s partner.”
“I want to just stand on my own two feet and not need a man to back me,” she said.
“I did that for years. I’m good. I have established myself, and I want to keep establishing myself. And maybe one day I’ll even be taken seriously.”
Emphasizing her commitment to authenticity and self-worth, Julia stated that she does not want her fame to be dependent on her associations with others.
These revelations coincide with troubling and somewhat contradictory reports suggesting that Bianca is being portrayed more as a product marketed by Kanye. Surprisingly, it’s alleged that Yeezy architecture, Kanye’s design venture, supports these maneuvers because they have catapulted her into the limelight she currently enjoys.
