Julia Fox has claimed that her split with Kanye West meant she was fired from a lucrative fashion deal.
In another revelation from her memoir Down the Drain, the Uncut Gems actress writes how the rapper helped her land a million-dollar deal with an Italian denim label.
Kanye proposed the collaboration in the early days of their romance in January 2022, according to Julia.
She writes that Kanye, whom she refers to throughout the book as ‘The Artist’, promised to secure her a ‘million-dollar deal’.
‘The next day he put me in touch with an Italian denim company and they started negotiating on my behalf,’ she continues. “I can’t believe this is my life, but I can definitely get used to it.”

The pair went on to wear famous denim ensembles for Paris Couture Week in January.
But with her subsequent split from Kanye, the deal fell apart. Julia explained how moments after she asked her publicist to tell the media about their split, she found out the deal was off.
“It depends on you being his girlfriend,” Julia told her.
The book contains many revelations about her brief courtship with Kanye in early 2022, including the claim that he offered to pay for a boob job during a game of Uno.
She wrote that the two were hanging out in a hotel room when the 46-year-old music artist made the shocking proposal.
And in a recent interview with the The Los Angeles TimesJulia continued to talk about it.
Although she said she “really understands him on a visceral level” and believes their pairing “could be something real,” Julia said Kanye didn’t treat her the way she expected. “I just felt like his little puppet,” she explained.
‘I know for a fact I was craving certain things and couldn’t do them because I was dating Kanye. It’s pretty wild,” she told the publication.

The star also said she was never too invested in the romance despite the increased media attention, noting:
“It really wasn’t that big of a deal, but other people made it such a big deal.”
After her split from Kanye, Fox said she swore off men for some time and admitted she still “didn’t see the point” of dating.
“That romanticized idea of men doesn’t exist anymore,” she added.
