Julia Fox claims she was "used as a pawn" by Kanye West during their relationship

Speaking to The Times' Weekend Magazine, Julia said: "I regret that relationship so much. I hate it! It was only a few weeks but enough to last me a lifetime.

"I was in probably the most uncomfortable position in my life and that's saying a lot. I don't want to be known for being anyone's girlfriend.

'It wasn't my idea for it to go public. If anything, I was like, 'We should wait,' and then boom, it was done behind my back. I saw pretty quickly I was being used as a pawn."

Julia revealed Kanye asked her to sign a non disclosure agreement, saying they couldn't be friends if she didn't, and she replied, "I'll live".

Their short fling ended just one month after they went public and Kane went on to marry Bianca Censori in December 2022, before splitting earlier this month.

While Julia's fame reached new heights during her relationship with Kanye, she revealed that the first time she was referred to as an "It girl" was almost a decade before that.

She said: "The first time I heard that in reference to me was around 2014 - a long time ago. Even though I wasn't mainstream famous, I was always really famous in New York. Everybody knew me because I was rowdy and crazy. A lot of lore surrounded me."

Julia - who has Valentino, three, with her ex-husband Peter Artemiev - also noted that whenever strangers met her back then, she would receive something of a "backhanded" compliment as they remarked that she was "nothing" like they assumed but in fact is more "comfortable" being herself anyway.

She said: "When people met me they always did this backhanded, 'You're nothing like we thought.' But I'm much more comfortable being an anti It girl. I'm an artist. I'm a mother, a sister, friend, writer, muse, actress - it varies day to day. But ultimately, I'm just a freak."
