Julia Fox Claps Back At Azealia Banks After Kanye West Split: 'Nobody Wants That Energy'

Julia Fox and Azealia Banks have engaged in a very public online feud following the actress' split from Kanye West.

Shortly after Fox and West's breakup made headlines, Banks made several accusations about the pair's short-lived relationship, claiming that it was a "weak PR stunt." The "212" rapper also brought up Fox's past struggles with addiction and claimed that West broke up with the "Uncut Gems" actress because she was a "liability" and "lacked any real motherly instinct."

Fox, who shares 13-month-old son Valentino with ex Peter Artemiev, fired back at Banks and defended herself via a since-deleted Instagram Story post.

"I'm open about my issues with addiction because I want to destigmatize it!" Fox said in the post obtained by E! News. "Not [all] addicts are 'junkies.' That is so horrible to say. It's a real f--king disease. And I've also been open about my recovery journey!!!"

She continued, "If this troll says one more thing about my parenting or my son..."

The "Forbidden Fruits" podcast host went on to say that she had been "too nice" to Banks in the past but now realizes "there's a reason why she spends all the holidays alone."

"Nobody wants that energy, sis!!!" Fox added.

The feud began after Fox, upon confirming her split from West, called herself "#1 hustler" in a since-deleted post and joked that fans who want the "full tea" should "buy the book when it comes out."

Banks then re-posted Fox's comments on her Instagram Story and criticized her "threatening" to release a tell-all book.

"What did [you] hustle him for? A bag and some Lucien's? ... You can kiss your days as a low rate escort goodbye, sis," Banks wrote, referring to West throwing a lavish birthday party for Fox at New York City restaurant Lucien and giving the actress and her pals Birkin bags earlier this month.

The rapper also claimed in a screenshot obtained by Daily Mail, "We already know the tea, Foolia! [You] came to Miami looking for sex work, [the] same lawyer was in contract with Ye and it was a weak PR stunt from the jump."

Banks also suggested that West, whose divorce from Kim Kardashian is ongoing, "probably had no clue" about Fox's history of drug abuse and claimed that the actress was "a liability" who could influence the outcome of "any custody battle that may arise in court during divorce proceedings."

The musician also shared a screenshot of an alleged text exchange with Fox in which the actress warned Banks not to "talk s--t" about her son.

Banks clapped back, saying: "OK, your son is a crack baby...what next?"

Fox has spoken about her struggles with drug abuse in the past, revealing she survived an overdose at 17. The actress has also been candid about her work as a dominatrix but has insisted she never had sex with her clients.

She told The Hollywood Reporter in 2020 of her past addiction: "It's kind of a miracle that I’m OK because a lot of the people I grew up with aren’t doing so well. They’re still on drugs or in jail. A lot of them died."

Fox also revealed in a profile with the New Yorker last year that she decided to stop using drugs after a close friend had passed away from an overdose.

"After she died, I vowed, I'm never going to get high again, in her honor," the actress said.
