By In a surprising revelation that has taken social media by storm, actress and model Julia Fox has come out as a lesbian in a candid TikTok video. The 33-year-old, best known for her brief but highly publicized relationship with rapper Kanye West, made the announcement in response to another user’s video about lesbians dating men.
The TikTok video that prompted Fox’s response featured a user with the handle @emgwaciedawgie, who humorously commented on lesbians in relationships with men, saying, “I love when I see a lesbian with their boyfriend. It’s like ‘Aww, you hate that man. You literally hate him.'”
Fox’s response was both succinct and revealing. Wearing sunglasses and seemingly walking down a New York City street, she stated, “Hey, that was me. I was that lesbian. So sorry, boys. Won’t happen again.” This brief statement has since ignited discussions about sexuality, celebrity culture, and the fluidity of identity.
The revelation comes as a surprise to many, given Fox’s high-profile relationships with men in the past. Most notably, she was romantically linked to Kanye West for approximately two months in early 2022. Their whirlwind romance began when West reportedly obtained her phone number through a mutual friend and pursued her with numerous calls. The relationship quickly escalated, with West chartering a private jet for Fox to meet him at a club in Miami.
During their short-lived romance, Fox and West were frequently photographed together, including a memorable appearance at Paris Fashion Week where they were both clad in matching black leather outfits. However, the relationship came to an abrupt end, with Fox later revealing in her memoir that she felt West was using her in a “sick, twisted game,” leading her to break up with him via text message.
Prior to her involvement with West, Fox was married to pilot Peter Artemiev for two years before their divorce in 2020. The former couple shares a 3-year-old son named Valentino.
Fox’s coming out has sparked conversations about the complexities of sexuality and the pressures of public relationships in the entertainment industry. Many fans and LGBTQ+ advocates have praised her for her honesty and bravery in sharing this aspect of her identity.
This revelation also raises questions about the nature of Fox’s past relationships and how her public persona may evolve in light of this announcement. It serves as a reminder that sexuality is a spectrum and that individuals may discover or choose to reveal different aspects of their identity at various points in their lives.
As the news continues to circulate, it’s likely that Fox’s announcement will contribute to broader discussions about representation, identity, and the evolving landscape of celebrity culture in relation to LGBTQ+ issues.
