Julia Fox says Kanye West wouldn’t “hurt a fly” despite his recent antics suggesting otherwise.
TMZ caught up with the “Uncut Gems” — nay, “Unca Jams” — star who addressed her ex-boyfriend’s online behavior and attributed it to his art.
“No, no, no, no, Kanye’s harmless. I just think that’s his artistic creative expression,” she told the outlet. “I know it’s aggressive, but I think if it really came down to it, I don’t think Kanye would hurt a fly.”
Fox’s insight came hours after West was suspended from Instagram for harassing Trevor Noah, Pete Davidson and D.L. Hughley.
Although Fox, 32, chalked his comments up to his “creative expression,” she admitted she was not “really sure” whether West was at risk for harming himself.
The “Forbidden Fruits” podcast co-host, who dated the rapper earlier this year, also said she has not spoken to West amid the constant drama.
West, 44, kicked off Wednesday morning with a barrage of attacks against Davidson, claiming he was “really concerned” the “Saturday Night Live” star, 28, would get Kim Kardashian and the exes’ four children “hooked on drugs.” He followed up that Instagram post with an attack on the “Daily Show” host, 38, using a racial slur.
“All in together now… K–n baya my lord k–n baya K–n baya my lord K–n baya Oooo’ lord K–n baya,” West captioned a screenshot of a Google search result describing Noah as a “South African comedian.”
West was mocking Noah by using the offensive “k–n” slur to replace the original lyrics in “Kumbaya.”
West shared the offensive post in response to the comedian discussing his dynamic with Kardashian, 41, and Davidson on “The Daily Show.”
“What [Kardashian is] going through is terrifying to watch, and it shines a spotlight on what so many women go through when they choose to leave,” Noah said on his Comedy Central series. “As a society, we have to ask ourselves questions. Do we wish to stand by and watch a car crash when we thought we saw it coming?”
West is in the midst of a divorce from Kardashian, who started dating Davidson last fall.
