Julia Fox retracts comments saying Kanye West is ‘harmless’

Julia Fox goes back with her comments claiming ex Kanye West is “harmless” and wouldn’t “hurt a fly”.

“I want to point out that at the time of this video I hadn’t seen the latest Instagram posts,” the Uncut Gems star reportedly said of her recent TMZ interview in a since-deleted post.

“Believe it or not, I have a life and a son, and I have no Google alerts for this man!”

Fox, 32, briefly dated West, 44, earlier this year after Kim Kardashian, 41, filed for divorce from the rapper in February 2021.

The Skims founder – who was officially singled out on March 2 – has been dating Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson, 28, since October 2021.

Earlier this week, a TMZ reporter asked Fox if she thought Kardashian and Davidson “should be concerned about their safety” given West’s recent online behavior.

“No! No no no. Kanye is harmless,” Fox exclaimed at the time. “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 do anything to a fly.”

In her since-deleted post, Fox claimed she appeared unaware of West’s recent Instagram antics, in which he racially abused Trevor Noah and was temporarily banned from the platform.

The actress claimed she thought the reporter was referring to West’s “Eazy” music video featuring The Game, in which a skinned monkey attacked a claymation version of Davidson.

“I thought this question was related to the music video. Yeah I just couldn’t answer questions but then it would be ‘Juliet is crazy she’s salty’ etc and it’s not me!” she wrote, per TMZ. “It’s a real Catch 22 so please stop F’n asking me!”

She continued, “I wish I had the answers, but I don’t. I want to remain an indie queen. Mainstream life is not for me.”
