Julia Fox has claimed her short-lived romance with Kanye West has negatively impacted her acting career.

The Uncut Gems star admitted she noticed her work “shift not in a good way” after going public with the 45-year-old rapper earlier this year.

Speaking on the High Low with EmRata podcast with Emily Ratajkowski, the 32-year-old recalled: “After the big relationship, I definitely noticed a shift in the acting way, not in a good way.

“I’m not getting as many offers as I was before, weirdly.

“There’s been a lot of weird drawbacks with reaching that level of notoriety.”

Fox added that she felt that some in the entertainment industry now viewed her as a “liability” and “tabloid-type of person” following the high-profile dalliance but was undeterred by any setbacks.

The star, who appeared in last year’s Steven Soderbergh drama No Sudden Move, admitted that she needs to “trust the process” and doesn’t care what other people think.

She continued: “It’s fine, I’m so busy.

“I think things come to you at the right time, so that’s why I’m really not stressing. I really don’t care.”

In February, the actress’s reps confirmed that the couple were no longer together, but remain “close friends and collaborators”.

West and Fox met on New Year’s Eve in Miami and were later pictured together attending the Tony Award-nominated Slave Play on Broadway.

But a spokesperson for Fox told the PA news agency at the time their relationship was over.

“They remain close friends and collaborators but they are no longer together,” the spokesperson said.

The romance came amid a messy row between the musician and Kim Kardashian, who filed for divorce from him last year.

Earlier this year, West also directed “hurtful” online messages towards the reality star, 42, and claimed their daughter North was on TikTok against his will.

Kardashian said the rapper had made co-parenting “impossible every step of the way”.
