Julia Fox wrote in her 2023 memoir that she ‘regrets’ her relationship with Kanye West ‘so much’
Kanye West’s former girlfriend Julia Fox revealed how she was left ‘feeling like a show monkey’ when it came to the American rapper allegedly picking and controlling the outfits she wore.
In one instance, she claims he even offered to give her a ‘boob job’ due to how the outfit in question for that day sat on her chest.
It comes as the ‘Gold Digger’ rapper has gone viral once again for turning up to the 2025 Grammys on Sunday (2 February) with his wife Bianca Censori where she revealed all by taking her clothes off in a nude stunt.
Wearing an oversized fur coat, 30-year-old Censori lowered the coat around her shoulders as the married couple stood in front of paparazzi.
The next thing she did was drop it in its entirety. Underneath the coat was a sheer dress, where you could explicitly see everything. And we mean it when we say that.
West has not said whose idea the outfit was.
It comes after one of West’s former girlfriends, actress Julia Fox, revealed how their relationship would work when it came to fashion and what she wore when attending events with Ye, accusing the rapper of treating her like a ‘show monkey’.

In her memoir Down the Drain, released last in October 2023, Fox speaks candidly about her relationship with West in the aftermath of the breakdown of his marriage with Kim Kardashian.
Writing about their relationship together, 35-year-old Fox – who notably starred in Adam Sandler crime thriller Uncut Gems – said it felt like somewhat of a ‘publicity stunt’ where she was a ‘prop’ for the musician to bring out in public.
Their relationship only lasted two months but it saw the couple photographed at many events including the 2022 Paris Fashion Week.
On what she wore while dating West, Fox said her wardrobe was controlled by him.
“He appoints a team to work on my wardrobe,” she wrote in the book.

“I immediately think of an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians where he did the same thing for his estranged wife in their early stages of dating. This is all so surreal.”
West allegedly hired two of her best friends to be her personal stylists, with the duo taking direction from the rapper on what she would look like before going out in public with him.
In one alleged incident, West and Fox were in the middle of a date when one of the stylists turned up with a ‘mountain of clothes’.
She wrote: “To my surprise I find [the stylist] in the bathroom with a mountain of clothes. I’m happy to see her, but it’s a little strange he didn’t just tell me he didn’t like my original outfit.”

And on another occasion Fox says West offered her a boob job because one of her outfits didn’t ‘fit quite right’. The mum-of-one declined the offer, writing: “I look at myself in the mirror, taking in my post-baby body. They’re not so bad, I think to myself.”
Releasing the book in 2023, Fox claims she had been asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) relating to their relationship together; something she did not do.
“I regret that relationship so much. I hate it! It was only a few weeks but enough to last me a lifetime. I was in probably the most uncomfortable position in my life and that’s saying a lot. I don’t want to be known for being anyone’s girlfriend,” she wrote.

Truth behind rumours Kanye West and wife Bianca Censori were escorted from Grammys after not being invited
It was reported that Kanye West was not invited to the Grammys despite being nominated
The truth behind whether Kanye West and Bianca Censori were invited to the Grammys has been revealed.
West, now known as Ye, made headlines at the Grammys, not for anything he did or said, but for his wife’s outfit choice.
Australian model Bianca Censori showed up in a fur coat, taking it off to reveal a dress that left almost nothing to the imagination.
Her see-through dress caused commotion on social media, as one joked: “Kanye’s wife’s name is Bianca ‘Censori’ but does anything BUT censor herself.”
It’s fair to say that fans were stunned by the model’s dress choice, or lack thereof.
Instead, the outlet reported the couple arrived at the event, walked the red carpet, then left of their own accord and weren’t escorted out.

Ye posted a statement about her dress on Instagram shortly after, which has since been deleted, which read: “Custom Couture Grammy dress for the most beautiful ever.
“My love, my best friend and my wife.”
Theories have circulated about it either being inspired by the style of a Playboy Bunny in the 2000s, or Censori’s own artwork for Ye’s album, Vultures 1.
However, one other controversial aspect of the couple’s appearance on the Grammys red carpet stole headlines – they weren’t meant to be there.
Well that is, if you believed reports on X.
The couple have reportedly been married since 2022, and while Ye remained fully clothed, it was reported that both were escorted off the Grammys red carpet.
It was reported by Entertainment Weekly that Ye and Censori arrived at the Crypto.com Arena, walked the red carpet, and left on their own accord.
The ‘Flashing Lights’ artist was nominated along with Ty Dolla $Ign, Rich The Kid, and Playboi Carti in the Best Rap Song category for ‘Carnival’.
However, after Censori made her way onto the carpet and removed her fur coat to reveal her see-through dress, the news publication moved to hit back at false information spreading.
An X account claimed: “Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori have been escorted out of the [Grammys] after showing up uninvited.”
But Entertainment Weekly wrote on their website: “The post was accompanied by an image of West and Censori and a screenshot of what appeared to be a post to the Entertainment Tonight Instagram reporting the news.
“But no such post can be found on the ET website, nor any of its social accounts.”

This isn’t the first time that the couple have come under the microscope for their fashion choices though, as Censori has worn near transparent clothing in the past while Ye, is well, Ye.
Whether it be boxing oversized clothing or shoulder pads, the artist has worn it all.

Kanye West says he knew one lyric he wrote would make him famous worldwide
The controversial rapper claimed he knew the moment that he was going to become an icon
Kanye West has revealed the one lyric he wrote that he knew straight away would thrust him to fame.
The controversial music artist, who now goes by Ye, has not been shy in the spotlight following his rise to fame in the mid-2000s.
West established himself as a successful producer and rapper in the industry, starting his own record label before eventually venturing out into the fashion world with his famous Yeezy collaboration with Adidas.
Since those days though, the 47-year-old’s political views have taken the headlines, with moves such as supporting Donald Trump and making anti-Semitic comments not making him the public’s favourite figure.
His relationship, marriage and divorce from Kim Kardashian was also put under the microscope but apparently, the Atlanta-born artist saw all of the attention coming from a mile away.
In 2019, West revealed in an interview with James Corden as part of their ‘300,000-foot Carpool Karaoke’, while on the way to his Sunday Service choir, that he knew the moment his life would change for good.
The revelation came while he was in a Virgin Megastore on an escalator, weirdly enough.

He explained: “I remember saying, ‘Breathe in this moment, because this will be the last moment I can walk around in public’.
“Because I had written the line, ‘She got a light-skinned friend look like Michael Jackson/ Got a dark-skinned friend look like Michael Jackson’.”
The ‘Gold Digger’ artist said that he knew after that lyric was released, he knew that he ‘wouldn’t be able to walk the streets for the rest of [his] life’.
Corden then asked if he really was that ‘confident’ that the song the line was in, ‘Slow Jamz’ featuring Jamie Foxx, would be so successful.
Ye responded saying: “In the success of that line. I was like, ‘I will be famous after this line’.”
The 2003 track was released through Atlantic and Roc-A-Fella Records, and is originally a song by rapper Twista, featuring Foxx and West.
It was the first chart-topping tune for all three artists, as it peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 soon after its release.
On the UK Singles Chart, it peaked at number three and on the US’s end-of-the-year chart in 2004, it came in at 16th place.
It looked like Ye was right, but there was more to come.

In 2004, the song was nominated for Best Collaboration at the 4th BET Awards. In 2005, at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards, it was put forward for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
Alongside songs such as ‘Gold Digger’, ‘Stronger’, and ‘Runaway’, ‘Slow Jamz’ is still widely seen as one of Ye’s best and most popular hits to this day.
Maybe this Kanye West guy knows a thing or two about music.

Julia Fox Posts Steamy Photo With Kanye West As She Apologises To Ex
The Uncut Gems actor, 31, took to her Instagram story to share the intimate moment with the rapper, 44.
Julia Fox has posted a steamy photo with Kanye West after apologising to her ex, Peter Artemiev.
The Uncut Gems actor, 31, took to her Instagram story to share the intimate moment with the rapper, 44, which shows his hands around Fox’s waist while she holds a glass of red.
It wasn’t clear whether they were kissing, but the pair were seen to be cosied up against one-another in the social media snap.
Check out the photo below:
Julia Fox has posted a steamy photo with Kanye West after apologising to her ex, Peter Artemiev (Instagram @juliafox).
The lovebirds met on New Year’s Eve, and aren’t ones to shy away from a bit of PDA.
Fox and West recently featured in a photo-shoot and interview together for Interview Magazine, after going on just two dates together.
Fox told the publication about meeting West on New Year’s Eve: “His energy is so fun to be around. He had me and my friends laughing, dancing, and smiling all night.”
She added that their second date, where West bought her “an entire hotel suite full of clothes” was “every girl’s dream come true”.
“It felt like a real Cinderella moment.”
Fox’s social media upload comes as she’s issued an apology to Artemiev, the father of her child, for calling him “a deadbeat dad”.
In December, Fox was reported to post a parodied missing person’s report online with a picture of her ex and wrote: “Have you seen this deadbeat dad?”
The post continued: “I just don’t want my son f***ed up cuz he feels like his dad was absent or loved alcohol and partying more than him … this man left me with a 5 month old and a dog and a home and ALL THE BILLS. It’s wrong!!! It’s not fair!!!”
Artemiev, who works as a private pilot, publicly denied the allegations against him in a statement to Page Six soon after.
His statement read: “I was saddened to learn of the utterly false statements made on social media by Julia Fox, my co-parent, who is clearly struggling. Out of respect for her privacy and to protect our child, I will not comment further.”
