Ye and Julia Fox went their separate ways after a month-long romance

Actress Julia Fox has said "there were definitely some red flags" in her relationship with Kanye West.

The Uncut Gems star said she chose to "turn a blind eye" to concerns because the romance was new, before it became "unsustainable".

Julia and the rapper, now known as Ye, ended the brief romance after dating for a month last year.

The 33-year-old has been giving interviews to promote her memoir.

91热爆 Radio Woman's Hour host Emma Barnett asked her about claims in her book detailing a relationship with an unnamed artist, understood to be Ye.

"I think at the time there were definitely some red flags that I chose to turn a blind eye to because it was fun, and exciting, and shiny, and you know just new," she said.

"It felt like a relief in the beginning 'oh finally someone else can take the reins', but I think you know it became unsustainable and that's why the relationship only lasted a month."

In her book Down the Drains, she writes about being brought entirely new clothes and not being able to be seen with the artist without him personally approving her outfit choice.

The mother-of-one also told Drew Barrymore on her show earlier this week that being in the relationship was like having two babies.

The actress also talked about being a dominatrix as a teenager - she said it was "such a self-esteem booster" and made her see her worth "a little bit more".

Julia's brief relationship with Ye, marked by her striking outfits, catapulted her public profile.

She has since become a stalwart of catwalks and fashion show front rows.

On Wednesday she appeared on stage at Madonna's Celebration Tour at the O2 Arena in London.

She joined the Queen of Pop in an outfit made entirely of duct tape to judge a vogueing competition.

Last year the Italian-American actress became a viral sensation for her pronunciation of 2019 film Uncut Gems, sparking skits on TikTok.
