It was every girls dream come true, she wrote.
Except, as it turns out, it wasnt at all.
I regret that relationship so much, Fox said.
It was only a few weeks but enough to last me a lifetime.
I was in probably the most uncomfortable position in my life and thats saying a lot.
I dont want to be known for being anyones girlfriend.
It wasnt my idea for it to go public.
I realised pretty quickly I was being used as a pawn.
Instead,she said in October 2023, I learned very quickly that I was being weaponized.
I just felt like his little puppet.
Fox toldthe Timesthat West issued her an ultimatum toward the end of their relationship.
I cant be friends with you if you dont sign [an NDA], he reportedly texted her.
In response, she replied, Ill live.
She credits her son, who is three years old now, with guiding her out of the relationship.
I really credit my son for being my grounding force, Fox said.
I wanted to be hot and look good and have men like me and fawn all over me.
I didnt care if it took a toll on who I really am.
It [took] a lot of denial and a lot of lying to yourself.
Earlier this year, Foxcame out as lesbianin an off-the-cuff TikTok post.
You cannot equate that to a relationship with a man.
Men love other men and masculine shit, and watching homoerotic things such as wrestling and football.
In this toxic culture I dont think theres room for them to love me.
