Julia Fox "had not seen" Kanye West's racial Instagram slur towards Trevor Noah when she called him "harmless".
The 32-year-old actress - who briefly dated the Stronger rapper at the start of 2022 following his separation from Kim Kardashian - had previously claimed that his recent outbursts on social media were nothing more than "artistic creative expression", but was unaware that West had used the racist term "k**n" to describe The Daily Show star at the time she made the comments.
In a since-deleted Instagram post, she wrote: "I would like to point out that I had not seen the latest Instagram posts at the time of this video. Believe it or not, I have a life and a son, and I don't have google alerts for this man!"

The Uncut Gems star - who has 14-month-old Valentino with ex Peter Artemiev - claimed that she initially thought the question was about West's new music video, which sees the superstar rapper decapitate and bury Kardashian's new boyfriend Pete Davidson.
