In her new book “Down the Drain,” actress Julia Fox shares her intense but brief relationship with Kanye West in early 2022. She describes it as a tumultuous experience where West seemed to play a controlling and unsettling game.
Julia met West, whom she refers to as “the artist,” after a friend offered to give him her number. The initial contact led to a barrage of phone calls and text messages.
Despite a recent breakup with her ex-husband, Julia spent hours chatting with West, although their conversations were mostly one-sided, with him dominating the discussions. West occasionally acknowledged her input and praised her ideas.
West invited Julia to spend New Year’s Eve in Miami, even chartering a private jet for her and her friends. They finally met in person at a club, where they shared a passionate hug and kiss. Their night continued at a party at a famous rapper’s house on Star Island.
The next day, they had dinner at a restaurant in Miami, and West asked Julia to be his girlfriend, with a photographer capturing the moment. He also talked about hiring stylists for her and eventually agreed to bring her friends Tammy and Liana into the mix.
Julia later discovered that photos from their dinner had been leaked to the media, leaving her feeling uneasy about West’s intentions.
During another meeting in New York, West showered Julia with clothing and even offered to pay for a breаst augmentation. He requested that she write a paragraph about their relationship for Interview magazine.
However, Julia began to feel used and uncomfortable with the situation. She and her friends received non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) from West, which she refused to sign.
Their relationship took a turn for the worse in Paris when West started listing things that bothered him about Julia, including her friends. An argument escalated at a party, but they were urged to calm down and enjoy the evening by Michèle Lamy, a guest at the event.
Back in New York, Julia learned that West would be taking a month-long break from his phone but would attend her upcoming birthday party. He surprised her with Birkin bags for her and her friends, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that it was more of a farewell gesture than a genuine gift.
The evening ended on a sour note when West ignored her at a club. The next day, Julia texted him about breаking up, and their communication took a negаtive turn. West spoke to his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, about Julia, making accusations and revealing his ignorance about her past struggles with Ԁrugs.
In the aftermath, Julia was bombarded with messages from West regarding the unsigned NDA.
