Julia Fox said her ex Kanye West “weaponized” her during their relationship following his divorce from Kim Kardashian.
“I really understood him on a visceral level,” the model recently told the Los Angeles Times, adding that she “thought ultimately I’d be helping a precarious situation,” referring to his contentious split with the Skims founder.
“But I learned very quickly that I was being weaponized,” she added. “I just felt like his little puppet.”
Fox — who said she “went lightly” in describing her six-week relationship with the “Gold Digger” rapper in her forthcoming memoir, “Down the Drain” — said that she did not sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) during their whirlwind romance.
“I’m not signing a f–king NDA just on principle. I never have, and I never will,” she confessed before swiftly adding, “unless it’s a professional opportunity, then sure.”
Fox, 33, and West, 46, were first spotted spending time together on New Year’s Eve in Miami in 2021 — 10 months after Kardashian, 42, filed for divorce from the Yeezy founder.
The following month, the “Uncut Gems” actress spoke out about her romance with Ye, telling Interview magazine that his energy was “fun to be around.”
The pair then made their red carpet debut in matching denim outfits at the Kenzo Fall/Winter 2022/2023 fashion show as part of Paris Fashion Week in Paris.
In February 2022, Ye helped Fox celebrate her 32nd birthday at the New York City restaurant Lucien, where he gifted the actress — and five of her friends — Hermés Birkin bags.
By the end of the month, the pair had called it quits.
“Julia and Kanye remain good friends and collaborators but they are no longer together,” her rep told Pvnew at the time.
The “No Sudden Move” actress later said she was only dating the Grammy winner to “get him off of Kim’s case.”
“Like, ‘Maybe I can distract him, like, just get him to like me,’” she said in a November 2022 TikTok. “And I knew if anyone can do it, it’s me because when I set my mind to something, I do it.”
In September 2023, Fox admitted that she and West did not have sex during their relationship.
West has since moved on with his “wife,” Bianca Censori, whom he wed in a non-legally binding wedding ceremony in January.
Meanwhile, Kardashian has been “hanging out casually” with NFL star Odell Beckham Jr.
The “Kardashians” star and West finalized their divorce in November 2022 and share four children.
