What did Julia Fox say about dating Kanye West? Twitter goes berserk over viral TikTok video

The almost 3-minute-long TikTok was posted in response to a comment on one of Fox's videos. The comment read:

“I just wish you weren’t dating a famously violent misogynist and antisemite.”

In the now-viral video, Julia Fox justified her decision to date Kanye West by saying:

“The man was being normal around me.”

She continued:

“I had this thought that maybe I can get him off of Kim’s case. Maybe I can distract him from liking me. And I knew that if anyone could do it, I knew it was me.”

At the same time, Fox was all praise for Kim Kardashian, and mentioned that she loves the Kardashian and Jenner sisters. She added that the Kardashians even bought clothing items from Fox’s line to sell in their stores years ago.

"By the time me and him got together, he hadn't been doing anything out there yet. The only thing he had done was change the name in the song that said 'Come back to me, Kimberly.'"

Julia Fox also mentioned that all they used to do was talk about clothes, weird ideas, and plans for the future. She further revealed that the moment Ye started with his anti-Semitic comments, she was “out.” She said:

"I realized pretty quickly that he wasn't going to take my help... I was delusional, I thought I could help him, I know. It didn't work and now we're here. That being said, I really deeply respect the man as an artist.”

At the moment, Kanye has not commented on Fox's TikTok video.

Later that month, on January 22, the pair even made their first formal public outing when they walked the red carpet together at the Paris Fashion Week.
