00:00 Here are some of the most surprising things that Julia Fox shares in her book about her
00:11 relationship with Kanye West, who she calls the artist in the book.
00:18 She shared that the day after they met, Kanye had actually asked her to be his girlfriend,
00:23 and a friend had passed on her number to him, and they started texting and calling each other.
00:30 And they met in person at a New Year's party in Miami at the end of 2021.
00:36 Julia Fox telling the mag, "I met Ye in Miami on New Year's Eve and it was an instant connection."
00:42 And then the morning after, Julia woke up to so many missed calls from Kanye.
00:49 But either way, they spent the day together and they had dinner at Carbone, where he asked
00:54 her to be his girlfriend.
01:01 But at first she was a little hesitant, like, "Whoa, that's really quick."
01:06 And then she suggested that they waited a few weeks, but their relationship continued
01:11 from there, and Kanye even hired Julia Fox's friends to style her for that night.
01:18 Following the date, after Kanye asked Julia to be his girlfriend, Kanye brought Julia
01:29 Fox back to a hotel room filled with Glenn Martin's unreleased Diesel collection.
01:35 And when Julia Fox tried on a shirt and found that she couldn't wear it with a bra on, that's
01:41 when Kanye West offered to pay for a chest enhancement procedure for her.
01:47 And Julia, she declined his offer, but his words really made her feel uncomfortable and
01:53 they stuck with her to this very day.
01:59 Julia also describes feeling powerless as Kanye West took more control of her style.
02:06 And she writes instances about where her friends who became stylists worked under Kanye West's
02:13 direction and selected outfits for her as well as outfits for him.
02:19 And under the direction of Kanye West, her friend/stylist literally packed up her old
02:24 clothes without hearing from her, getting any feedback from her, and that was it.
02:30 And she admitted to hiding some of her old clothes when her stylists weren't looking.
02:35 And she also mentioned that she was losing a lot of weight very quickly, which contributed
02:40 to sizing issues with the new clothes that Kanye West was providing her with.
02:45 And then for her birthday, Julia Fox's stylist presented her with a variety of outfits chosen
02:50 by Kanye and she felt really uncomfortable with the selection and she chose the simplest
02:56 option while feeling really uneasy as she looked at herself in the mirror trying on
03:02 the clothes and everything.
03:05 Like I mentioned, some of her friends started becoming stylists now and working for Kanye
03:10 West.
03:11 And of course, arguments are gonna happen about friends when you mix business with friendship.
03:17 And after one of these arguments about their friends, Kanye West stopped communicating
03:22 with Julia Fox altogether.
03:24 And Kanye's assistant informed her that he was taking a month-long phone break.
03:30 That was it.
03:31 No communication whatsoever with Julia.
03:34 But on the flip side, this break did give Julia Fox some uninterrupted time with her
03:39 son
03:47 without all the constant calls and texts from Kanye.
03:51 Despite this though, Julia did admit that she actually missed the interaction with Kanye
03:55 during that period of time.
03:57 Also another thing that Julia Fox shared is that she declined to sign a non-disclosure
04:01 agreement or an NDA that was circulated among her friends.
04:06 So this happened earlier on in their relationship and some of these friends were currently working
04:12 as her and Kanye West's stylists.
04:14 So there's a lot of things that Kanye West wanted to keep under wraps.
04:18 He didn't want certain things to be said publicly.
04:21 You know, he was doing his best to try to protect his image.
04:24 However, Julia did say that she made a decision not to sign the NDA whatsoever.
04:30 And in her own words, this is what she specifically said.
04:32 "He can take over my life, but he's not taking my voice."
04:38 And I think that's why she shared these secrets about Kanye West and their relationship in
04:43 her book.
04:45 Because yeah, she didn't sign the NDA.
04:46 She can pretty much say whatever she wants.
04:48 But she did say in the past though that she's not really trying to cause any sort of bad
04:53 blood or anything like that.
04:54 She's just trying to say her peace because people want to know, like, what was it like?
04:59 Some people look at her as clout chasing, you know, just trying to use Kanye West's
05:03 name to stay relevant because she's no longer dating him.
05:06 That relationship was really, really quick.
05:08 And now Kanye has moved on and he's married somebody.
05:11 And now she, Bianca Sensuri, Kanye West's new wife, is getting so famous.
05:15 So a lot of people are just suspecting that Julia Fox is just trying to get some attention
05:20 back on her.
05:21 "Julia Fox finally speaks up after a long silence filled with on-hold controversies.
05:25 The actress's sentiment exposed how Kanye West used her as a little puppet, weaponizing
05:28 her to reunite with his ex-partner, Kim Kardashian."
05:30 Julia Fox has revealed that Kanye West tried to turn her into Kim Kardashian by controlling
05:36 her fashion as well as all aspects of her life, pretty much.
05:39 "Julia is now ready to spill all the tea in her upcoming memoir entitled Down the Drain,
05:43 where she'll be delving into some spicy details about her past whirlwind romance with
05:47 Kanye."
05:48 In Julia Fox's candid memoir called Down the Drain, she openly shares her life experiences
05:54 from battling addiction to working as a dominatrix.
05:58 And the book also dives into her high-profile relationship with Kanye West, who she refers
06:04 to as "the artist" in the book.
06:06 And just to recap, by the way, "Kim Kardashian and her husband Kanye West were ending their
06:10 six-year marriage.
06:11 What makes it interesting is that amidst the ex-couple's separation, Julia suddenly entered
06:14 the picture."
06:15 Julia Fox and Kanye West, they dated briefly at the beginning of 2022, while he was attempting
06:21 to reconcile with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
06:25 However, their relationship did end when Kanye's public pleas for Kim's return just became
06:31 a little bit too extra, a little bit too disturbing, leading Julia Fox to break up with him.
06:46 And at that time, Kim had already filed for divorce from Kanye in February of 2021.
06:53 And she started dating Pete Davidson, who of course she broke up with.
06:57 And Kanye West didn't like that at all.
06:59 He went all over social media to blast Pete Davidson.
07:02 But anyways.
07:11 During their short relationship, Julia Fox often praised their immediate bond and even
07:17 expressed feeling like she was "surrendering" to Kanye West after just a few weeks together.
07:36 And in one gesture, Kanye West actually surprised her with an entire suite full of clothes in
07:43 her hotel room after only a couple of dates.
07:46 And Julia was really surprised when this happened.
07:50 I don't know how he did it or how he got all of it there in time, but
08:00 Julia then went a little bit deeper into Kanye West's impact on her style choices.
08:07 And she alleged in her memoir that the artist, Kanye West, attempted to dictate her outfits
08:13 every time they met.
08:14 And after an initial hangout, he sent a collection of form-fitting jumpsuits to her hotel room.
08:21 And later, she claims that he expressed his desire to assemble a team to manage her wardrobe
08:28 completely.
08:29 Julia Fox from there recounts a dinner that she had with Kanye West where she was introduced
08:34 to her new stylist in a restaurant bathroom.
08:37 And there she was presented with various outfits to wear.
08:41 And then she expressed feeling like a "show monkey" in her own words due to being dressed
08:47 according to Kanye's preferences.
08:50 On top of that, Julia Fox, she claimed that Kanye suggested paying for her chest enhancement.
08:58 After seeing her model a piece of designer clothing, he felt it would fit better if her
09:03 chest was a little bit enhanced.
09:05 So all of this control over Julia's wardrobe, it actually does echo his influence that he
09:10 had on Kim Kardashian's fashion choices.
09:13 When we go back to 2012, shortly after they began dating, he criticized Kim's style,
09:19 leading to tears as he and his stylist revamped her entire closet.
09:26 Over the years, Kanye West has been consistently vocal about Kim Kardashian's clothing choices.
09:32 He even flew to Paris once for a quick trip to style her after disapproving of paparazzi
09:39 pictures of her back in 2018.
09:42 And then he continued critiquing her outfits after their split.
09:45 And when Kim Kardashian started choosing her own outfits, he expressed displeasure with
09:50 her style.
09:51 Now, Julia Fox's revelations about Kanye West's control over her wardrobe are definitely
09:56 a little bit concerning.
09:57 It has a lot of people questioning things, especially when considering his past behavior
10:04 with Kim Kardashian.
10:08 This pattern of controlling behavior raises some important questions about relationships
10:13 and boundaries.
10:14 So people are taking what Julia Fox said really seriously and they think that maybe Kanye
10:20 West just has a problem with wanting to be in control.
10:31 Kanye West's ex-girlfriend, Julia Fox, is really afraid to talk about him and here's
10:37 why.
10:38 Julia Fox became well known for dating Kanye West in 2020, just after Kim Kardashian filed
10:44 for a divorce from him.
10:49 However despite all of the attention, Julia won't be sharing many specifics about their
10:56 relationship in her book.
11:08 While Julia was on the red carpet at the Victoria's Secret World Tour 2023 event in New York,
11:14 Julia talked about her book titled Down the Drain.
11:18 And when she was asked, of course, if the memoir would talk about her fast-paced relationship
11:24 with Kanye West, Julia said that she wouldn't be sharing a lot of details about their relationship.
11:34 In her own words, this is what Julia had to say about how much of her memoir is dedicated
11:40 to talking about Kanye West and their relationship.
11:55 Julia though, she might provide some more background on why she chose to end her relationship
12:00 with Kanye after just a few months.
12:02 You know, this is something that she's talked about in previous interviews.
12:06 But from the looks of it, it's like she's trying to not be associated with Kanye West
12:10 in any way, shape or form.
12:13 Back in September of 2022, she mentioned that she decided to break up as soon as things
12:19 got difficult.
12:28 And she also said that she feels good about that choice, like it was the right thing to
12:32 do, especially considering all of the controversy that Kanye West stirred up later in that year
12:39 after they broke up earlier that same year.
12:42 Julia also had this to say, and I quote, "The unresolved issues that he was dealing with,
12:47 it just seems like he had a lot to work on and I just don't have time for it or energy.
12:53 I don't have the bandwidth or emotional capacity for it.
12:57 I'm proud of myself for that."
13:00 Free Valentino Julia would have definitely stuck it out and been there for longer.
13:06 Despite all the attention that came with her relationship with Kanye West, she said that
13:10 she didn't actually benefit from it at all.
13:14 Like her career was actually going downhill because of Kanye West's reputation and how
13:19 it impacted her.
13:20 As a matter of fact, in November of 2022, she talked about this on Emily Ratajkowski's
13:26 podcast, Hi Low with Emrata.
13:29 Julia mentioned that it became more challenging to get acting roles as well as she felt like
13:35 people in the industry didn't take her seriously anymore.
13:39 She felt a negative shift in her acting career due to all of the attention from her relationship
13:44 and the events that followed her relationship.
13:47 This is what Julia went on to say, "It's like I'm not getting as many offers as I was before,
13:54 weirdly.
13:55 Before I dated Kanye West, I was really typecasted as a pervy Italian girl, and now I'm just
14:01 like skinny and look sickly, and it's like, I don't know.
14:06 It's fine.
14:07 I'm so busy.
14:08 I think things come to you at the right time.
14:12 So that's why I'm really not stressing.
14:14 I really don't care."
14:16 And guys, after hearing all of this, I think it's really smart of her to not say much.
14:21 I'm sure she's got a whole bag of juicy gossip that she could share if she wanted to, but
14:28 she just doesn't see the point to it, you know?
14:31 So I think good on her.
14:32 Most people in her situation just wouldn't be able to contain themselves.
14:35 Like they want to like share all the dirt right now, especially if you're involved with
14:40 one of the most popular people on the planet right now.
14:44 Yeah.
14:45 Julia Fox is definitely biting her tongue.
14:47 But at the same time, it seems like Kanye West, like he has so much influence, so she
14:53 doesn't want to cause a rift because yeah, what if Kanye West retaliates?
14:58 I think there's a little bit of that going on there too, where she doesn't want to cause
15:01 any bad blood.
15:03 But if it wasn't Kanye West, I'm sure she would have just let it all out.
15:08 All the juice, all the dirt would be in that memoir.
