“It’s not real,” she said. “It’s only happening on the internet. I’m not actively engaging with it. I don’t feel it. I’m still 1,000 percent me. Nothing’s changed, except, I will say, having been around Kanye was like a crash course on how to be famous.”
“I tried my best to make it work. I already had a jam-packed life. How do I fit this really big personality into this already full life? It just wasn’t sustainable. I lost like 15 lbs. in that month,” she continued.
As for whether she and Kanye were exclusive, Julia shared, “I don’t think so,” and denied that they had dated for attention, though she did call him the “ultimate stunt queen.” “I mean, there were definitely elements of it that were real.”
She also deemed claims she interviewed to be his girlfriend “ridiculous,” and noted that she had never signed a non-disclosure agreement.
When asked if she and Kanye were officially “boyfriend” and “girlfriend”, Julia replied: “I don’t think those words ever came out of my mouth, actually. It definitely felt like I was his girlfriend. But it also felt like I was being cast in the role of his girlfriend — and he was casting me. He was the orchestrator of it all. It really did feel like a movie.”
The actress went on to say she wasn’t worried that Kanye would expose more details about their relationship.
“I don’t think that he would want to open that door with me,” she said. “If you come for me, I’m going to come for you. And I’m really good at coming for people. I just go straight for the jugular. I don’t think he would be dumb enough to do that.”
She went on to say she was grateful for the “priceless exposure” the rapper gave her, but hoped she would “eventually surpass the Kanye narrative.”
Julia and Kanye linked back in January 2022 when they were seen on a dinner date together. She confirmed that they had split in a statement released on Valentine’s Day.
