2 year oldJulia Fox’s moment in the sun continues – perhaps just not the way she’d have it.
The now-ex of Kanye West is gaining attention on TikTok for the way she chose to pronounce “Uncut Gems” in an interview, a choice she now says was made while stoned, Page Six reports.
Asked by host Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast if she considered herself West’s muse, the 32-year-old actress and model responded, “Yeah, a little. Maybe,” before adding, “I mean, I was Josh Safie’s muse when he wrote Uncut Gems.”
Viewers latched onto her pronunciation of the 2019 film’s title, attempting to transcribe it phonetically as “unca jams” or “uncut jams.”
The moment became fertile ground for the internet, which began making response videos and compilations of others repeating the phrase.

Page Six even got in on the action, posting an Instagram reel, to which Fox responded in a comment, “Omggggg I was stoned leave me alone!!!! Hahahahahah.”
Meanwhile, other commenters weighed in, shooting down the excuse and tarring Fox as “pretentious,” while others simply wanted to say there’s nothing wrong with being stoned every now and then.
Fox has been making the most of her brief dalliance with West, teasing earlier this week that she was thinking of writing a book about the experience that would provide fans with “the full tea”.
She pulled the plug on their relationship this week after they began dating at the beginning of January. This came after West went on a social media tirade on Super Bowl Sunday in which he cut Kid Cudi from his new album and insulted Pete Davidson, his estranged wife Kim Kardashian’s new boyfriend, by saying he was a “d**khead.”
Some have posited that West’s entire relationship with Fox was one big publicity stunt after she revealed that West wanted details of their relationship revealed to the public.
