Kanye West’s ex Julia Fox ‘felt like a show monkey’ over the outfits he ‘made her wear’

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.
