He kept "going and going," the actress says. He even encouraged Julia Fox to reply saying she had 'bad text etiquette.' Fox says that initially, she was reluctant, fearing that talking to a celebrity as famous as Kanye West would be boring.

Maybe Fox was onto something? She says that during the month that they spent together, West wasn't on "Twitter or any forms of social media" and he didn't even talk about his relationship with her. "We only talked about clothes and weird ideas and plans and hopes and dreams for the future and our childhood and education." Fox says that it was a beautiful time.
But soon enough, Kanye started tweeting again and that's when she decided that she was not interested in the relationship anymore.

Before she ended her TikTok, Fox made a point to credit Kanye West's reputation as an artist, and said that she doesn't want to "sh** on that," and to reduce his whole career to his bad moments, but she expressed her solidarity with the Jewish community.
