Julia Fox has revealed how her public romance with Kanye West left scars that she is still dealing with.

The artist and actress told this week’s issue of Stellar Magazine that she would not date another celebrity so openly after her experience with the controversial rapper.

‘What I find happens 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 uphold that. I want to be able to make it on my own. I don’t want anyone to be able to attribute my success to a man in my life’ she continued.

‘If anything, men are an obstacle I have to get through. It has never helped me.’

Julia’s highly publicized, short-lived fling with Kanye came in January 2022, following his split from Kim Kardashian.

While speaking to InStyle, the Uncut Gems star admitted that she has struggled with be just being seen as just one of the 46-year-old musicians’ exes.

The actress stated that dating West ‘for a month’ and the attention that came with their brief romance has left a ‘sour taste in’ her ‘mouth about dating anyone in this sphere.’

‘I don’t ever want to just be known as someone’s girlfriend. I know I’m so much more than that. And I feel like that happens so much to women in this industry,’ she said.

She continued: ‘They’re only as good as their partner or they can make a whole career off being some guy’s partner. But regardless, either way, it becomes their identity.’

Fox, who is set to appear on OMG Fashun, a new design competition series next month on E!, said she is aiming to ‘transcend that’ and ‘break that mold.’

‘I want to just stand on my own two feet and not need a man to back me. I did that for years. I’m good’ the mom-of-one noted.

‘I have established myself, and I want to keep establishing myself. And maybe one day I’ll even be taken seriously.’
