Julia Fox says she was left ‘scarred’ by very public romance with Kanye West: ‘It has never helped me’
Julia Fox has revealed how her public romance with Kanye West left scars she is still dealing with.
The artist and actress told this week’s issue of Stellar magazine that she wouldn’t date another celebrity so openly after her experience with the controversial rapper.
“What I see happen so often in public relationships – at least what happened to me, and maybe I’m just scarred from it – is that you become known as that person’s girlfriend,” the 34-year-old said.
‘And I just don’t want to keep that up. I want to be able to make it myself. “I don’t want anyone to attribute my success to a man in my life,” she continued.
‘If anything, men are an obstacle I have to get through. It never helped me.’
