Julia Fox explains why dating Kanye West left ‘such a sour taste’ in her mouth

Julia Fox doesn’t look back on her brief romance with Kanye West with fondness.

The “Uncut Gems” star told InStyle magazine that the month-long tryst actually left “such a sour taste” in her mouth. And now, because of how much she felt she lost her identity at the time, she won’t even consider 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,” Fox, 34, told the glossy.

“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.”

Fox, who is launching a new show with famed style architect Law Roach titled “OMG Fashun” on E!, said she has to “transcend” becoming part of someone else’s identity so she can make a name for herself.

“…I want to break that mold, and I want to just stand on my own two feet and not need a man to back me,” she shared.

”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.”

The “Down the Drain” memoirist appears to have changed her tune regarding West, as she told “Entertainment Tonight” two months after they split that dating him was the “best thing that could have happened” to her.

She also claimed in a public forum that there “wasn’t any” sex during the short-lived romance. MEGA

“It kind of brought a spark back into my life that I had kind of forgotten about,” she shared.

Fox dated the Yeezy founder, 46, for about six weeks in 2021 and into 2022 amid his contentious divorce from ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

After the duo split, she admitted there “wasn’t any” sex in their romance because it “wasn’t really about that.”

When she came under fire for aligning herself, albeit briefly, with the antisemitic rapper, Fox claimed she dated him only to “get him off Kim’s case.”

“Like, ‘Maybe I can distract him, like, just get him to like me,’” Fox explained on TikTok. “And I knew if anyone can do it, it’s me, because when I set my mind to something, I do it.”

West since has moved on with new wife Bianca Censori.
