Julia Fox feels Kanye West is harmless
TMZ caught up with Julia Fox and asked about Kanye’s controversial remarks on Kim and Pete. Amidst all the chaos, the ‘Uncut Gems’ star decided to address the situation and stated, “No, no, no, no, Kanye’s harmless. I just think that’s his artistic creative expression.” She added, “I know it’s aggressive, but I think if it really came down to it, I don’t think Kanye would hurt a fly.” Julia, who dated Kanye West only for a few weeks, also shared that she has not spoken to Ye amidst all the drama.
Kanye had recently claimed that Pete would get Kim hooked on drugs. Speaking of Julia and Kanye’s relationship, the whirlwind romance ended near Valentine’s Day after Kanye on Instagram wished his wife Kim was with him. It was later also reported that Julia and Ye were in an open relationship. The rap legend off-late has been spotted with Kim Kardashian’s lookalike Chaney Jones. The two have not yet officially confirmed their relationship. Kim, on the other hand, shared a bunch of photos of hers recently with Pete to make it Instagram official.
‘You do not know him like that’
Social media users rushed to Twitter as soon as Julia’s comments on Kanye surfaced on the Internet. “I don’t think he will personally hurt them but his fans he has amped up might. But I’m glad Julia cleared that up for us. I was worried there for a minute”, said one user as another chimed in, “She’s on payroll of course she’d say that.” One user stated, “Woman who dated Kanye West for a week gives an opinion on him despite never really getting to know him. With that being said he likely doesn't pose a threat other than being annoying, but if I was Pete, I'd have taken him to school long ago.”
The next one stated, “Not saying that Kanye would hurt him, but Girl, y’all hung out for like a month. You do not know him like that.” One added, “They're all "harmless" until they are not. Really sad we don't recognize emotional abuse to women and children as harmful. I've witnessed this pattern of abuse, it will only escalate.” Another shared, “Of course he is, he’s fighting for his family, and they’re fighting back dirty but we only see his side of responds which makes it seem complicated.” And, one concluded, “We don't have any problem with ye,but what we not gon tolerate is him, harassing, threatening and inciting his followers to bully people he doesn't agree with.”
