Julia Fox insists she got Kanye West to like her to 'get him off Kim Kardashian's case'

Julia Fox has opened up on her time with Kanye West, claiming she only dated the musician to help Kim Kardashian.

The actress, 32, revealed she had originally blanked the Donda hitmaker, 45, as he continuously pursued her, saying she didn't want another celebrity fling.

However, the Uncut Gems star seen realised he wasn't going to take no for an answer and thought about if her answering him would help Kim, 42, at all.

Speaking to her TikTok followers, Julia did however say Kanye showed no "red flag behaviour" during their time together, despite his most recent controversial comments and actions.

She revealed: "First of all, the man was being normal around me. Not only that but the Kardashians, when I had a fashion line ten years ago they actually bought our clothes and sold them in their stores so I've always had a love for Kim especially."

Moving on to how she first hooked up with the artist now legally known as Ye, Julia continued: "I remember he was texting me and I wasn't really answering. And I didn't want to talk to a celebrity again because nothing ever comes of it, it's boring and they are not what you think they are going to be like.

"Then I had this thought. I was like, 'Oh my god, maybe I can get him off Kim's case and get him to like me.' And I knew if anyone could do it, it would be me because when I set my mind to something I do it."

Julia started dating the rapper while Kim was partnered up with Pete Davidson, 28. Kim and Pete were often targeted by Ye online, with the musician firing sly digs in their direction, especially towards the comedian.

While Pete and Kim split after nine months together, Julia and Ye only lasted a month, with the actress insisting everything was great until Ye took to social media.

"We only really talked about clothes and weird ideas and plans for the future and our hopes and dreams for childhood and education and it was really beautiful guys," she explained. "And the moment he started tweeting I was out."

She finished by confessing she deeply respects Ye as an artist but was "delusional" in thinking she could help him.
