Actress and perpetual It Girl Julia Fox is opening up about her whirlwind romance with Kanye West and how their relationship inspired her to seize control of her image.
In a new interview on the New York Times’ podcast Popcast, host Jon Caramanica brought up Fox’s infamous Interview magazine essay in which she described her courtship with West as it was still unfolding back in 2022, just after the rapper’s split from Kim Kardashian. In her recent memoir, Down the Drain, Fox recounted how West was displeased with her first draft of the essay and had one of his associates rewrite her account. Dissatisfied with the results, she pushed back against the edits.
“I think at a certain point, it’s like, ‘I’m not gonna let you make me sound stupid,’” Fox elaborated on Popcast. “I’ll walk away right now. I’m not publishing that with my name on it. Just no. I can draw the line somewhere.”
