Kanye West and Julia Fox meet on New Year's Eve and shortly thereafter make their relationship official, but the rapper and actress go their separate ways on Valentine's Day. Now the 32-year-old is talking about the damage her career has suffered.
Her brief relationship with Kanye West at the turn of the year catapulted previously little-known indie actress Julia Fox into the spotlight. The 32-year-old, who acted in films like "The Black Diamond", was suddenly seen on all the covers worldwide, made a name for herself with her weird make-up looks and tinted eyebrows and continues to surprise with self-created fashion Statements on red carpets.
But that is only one side of the coin. As she revealed on Emily Ratajkowski's High Low with EmRata podcast, the relationship had the opposite effect on her acting career. Her career has been on a solid path after being nominated for Breakthrough Actress at the 2019 Gotham Awards for The Black Diamond. However, after her relationship with the controversial rapper, she "definitely noticed a change" — "not in a good way," Fox added.
"Oddly, I don't get as many offers as I used to. There were a lot of weird downsides to reaching that level of fame." Fox's relationship with Kanye West coincided with his high-profile divorce from Kim Kardashian, and hardly a day went by without them making the headlines. In the industry, she is now seen as a "tabloid person" or a "burden".
But she won't let that get her down, Fox said. She took advantage of the various opportunities that her new fame would have opened up for her. "I think things come to you at the right time, so I really don't stress. I really don't care. I just have to trust the process."
Julia Fox and Kanye West met on New Year's Eve and made their relationship public a few days later. On Valentine's Day, the 32-year-old separated from the 13-year-old rapper. He used the romantic day to put a truck loaded with roses in front of his ex Kim Kardashian's front door. "My vision is crystal clear," read both the car and West's accompanying Instagram post.
Speaking about their brief romance, Fox later told Elle: "It definitely felt like I was his girlfriend. But it also felt like I was being cast as his girlfriend - and he got me cast. He was the organizer of everything. It really felt like a movie."
