At first, it sounds like life in the artist’s orbit was dizzying and exciting. Fox says in her book that the artist told her he wanted to “appoint a team” to work on her wardrobe.

By the time I was 18, I was tired,” she told Paper magazine in 2019. “It just got boring and repetitive. I already knew what the night would be like — it just wasn’t fulfilling to me anymore. It was this really cheap thrill that I had become immune to.” Fox has described herself as a “Renaissance woman”

Fox’s author era is also her celibate era. Earlier this year she publicly swore off men, but she says the cleanse has been going on longer than that. “I haven’t had sex in two years. I’m so happy. I sleep so well,” she says, laughing with her mouth full. Has she dated at all during that time? She replies with a whiff of boredom. “For what? No. I don’t see the point. That romanticized idea of men doesn’t exist anymore.” Fox, Julia (January 6, 2022). "Date Night". Interview. Archived from the original on January 7, 2022 . Retrieved January 8, 2022. As she revisits each scenario, Fox is strikingly straightforward, taking accountability for her own role in the havoc wreaked or damage done like a true antiheroine. Her writing is vulnerable, funny, and compassionate; of a possessive and abusive ex, she writes: “I realize that he’s also a victim of his upbringing. He can’t help being violent. It’s all we know.” She is earnestly delighted about how her new status as an avant garde fashion icon—a style transformation spurred by her time with Kanye—and the disappearance of her famous curves after she lost weight due to the scrutiny around that relationship, seems to disappoint men and excite women: “They say they love my authenticity and describe me as ‘real,’” she writes. “They tell me I’m ‘a sex symbol for women,’ which is the highest form of compliment one could ever hope to receive.”

The rising star, who died Monday at 25, stood out through subtlety in a cast full of bigger names and a series full of bombastic set pieces. VanHoose, Benjamin (February 14, 2022).

I write about how lonely I am and how everyone always leaves me, leading me to put on a facade of toughness and aggression,” Fox writes in her memoir. “I write about the urge to compare myself to others and the resulting feelings of inadequacy. I fantasize about what life could have been like had I been born into a normal, loving family and all the ways in which I would be different.” In her memoir, Fox introduces us to Giovanni, the 23-year-old to whom she lost her virginity when she was 14. He winks at her while she is play-fighting in the dirt with her cousin in a small Northern Italian town near Milan, where she was born (Fox lived between there and New York City off and on as a kid). Later, Giovanni plies her with alcohol until she can barely stand. Then he has sex with her — outside, on the ground, in the middle of the cobblestoned street near his car. After, she drips blood over his crisp white sweater, and the next day word spreads through town that she is a whore. In 2019, a close friend of Fox's died of a fentanyl overdose. Fox has spoken about how her friend's death influenced her to remain sober. [58]

Julia Fox has made a name for herself by telling it all. It's something she’s done so cannily that it’s set her apart even in an era defined by oversharing. The model and actor, who first burst into mainstream consciousness as the bombshell breakout star of the 2019 Safdie Brothers film Uncut Gems, has never shied away from telling her unvarnished truth, whether on her podcast Forbidden Fruits or on TikTok, where she may detail for her 1.7 million followers anecdotes from a high-profile romance or offer a down-to-earth tour of her relatively modest New York City apartment.

Julia Fox is famous for many her captivating acting, such as her breakout role in the film Uncut Gems ; her trendsetting style, including bleached eyebrows, exaggerated eyeshadow, and cutout dresses; her mastery of social media, where she entertains and educates her millions of followers. But all these share the trait for which she is most unabashedly and unapologetically being herself. Heartbreak is a luxury in my opinion. In a lot of places in the world there's no time for that” – Julia Fox Julia Fox is writing again … and no, it’s not another blog post about Ye. ( Juliye is over, remember?) Instead, Fox has announced she’s working on a book. At the Oscars after-party Sunday, while the world was still recovering from the Slap, the Uncut Gems actress and her eyeliner told Variety that the book in question is a dream project of hers. “I don’t wanna give too much of it away ’cause I’m very superstitious, so I don’t like to speak of things before they’re finished,” she said. “But it’s so far a masterpiece, if I do say so myself.” When asked if the project was fiction or a memoir, Fox replied that the book did start off as a memoir. “But now it’s just like my first book, you know?” she said vaguely. “So yeah. That’ll be coming out soon.” That’s as specific as she got about the release date, and she didn’t share any information about a title. Still, the 33-second interview clip does confirm at least one thing for us: She should definitely narrate the audiobook of whatever this turns out to be. Julia Fox will not call Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, by his name. In her searing new memoir, Down the Drain, Fox refers to him only as “the artist.” Their relationship, which lasted all of two months in 2022, turned Fox from downtown darling with a scene-stealing role in Uncut Gems into a near-permanent fixture in People magazine. Suddenly, more people than ever wanted to know about this New York–famous former dominatrix who also happened to be a devoted, latex-clad mother of a beautiful baby as well as an art girl who once used her own blood on canvas.

At 17, Julia Fox was addicted to heroin. Then her best friend overdosed". Mamamia. November 26, 2022. Archived from the original on September 28, 2023 . Retrieved September 27, 2023. Fox has always been up front about the fact that she was a sex worker, an addict, that she has endured extreme harm. In Down the Drain, she describes her parents as almost operatically neglectful — there are refusals to intervene after overdoses, affairs with best friends’ parents, and it sometimes takes weeks for them to notice their daughter is missing. She writes that she has overdosed more than once: as a teenager on PCP, coming to in an ambulance “with vomit all around,” and years later on a New Orleans trip involving trap houses, guns, and heroin. Best friends are ripped away via rehab or death, and Fox has a miscarriage in a bathroom bar without ever having known that she was pregnant. I chose the silk because it’s so feminine in that it is delicate but at the same time it’s so strong and hard to tear through,” she told HuffPost contributor Jill Di Donato in 2017. “I feel like blood is so precious and it’s only right that it be displayed on a fabric which is just as precious.” A text from the artist arrives shortly after, followed by dozens of phone calls,” she recalls in her memoir. “We talk for hours. Well, he talks for hours and I mostly listen, occasionally chiming in. When he does listen to me, he loves my ideas and thinks I’m really smart. Coming from him, this feels like a huge compliment. I’m giddy during this time. It’s like he breathed a new life into me.” Julia Fox and Ye attended a fashion show in Paris on Jan. 23, 2022. Victor Boyko / Getty Images Thank you for humbling me and teaching me patience and hard work. Thank you for being my biggest blessing,” she wrote in the caption. “My greatest accomplishment. My masterpiece. I don’t deserve you but somehow we’re here and I promise to love you unconditionally and accept you for who you are.”

One thing they don’t do in Fox’s telling is have sex. When Ye takes Fox to his hotel room after dinner one night, it’s not to strip her down but to dress her up in an unreleased collection of Diesel by Glenn Martens for a photo shoot. They were turned on by overlapping circles of art: fashion, photography, and themselves recording it all. “As I strike poses and twirl in front of the camera,” Fox writes, “he leans in to kiss me, the flashbulbs illuminating the room with a dazzling light.” Instead of love, they were making art. Fox says she is a big believer in karma. “I can be very spiteful and vengeful,” she says. “I love getting a good revenge, it makes me salivate. But I also have the wisdom to know: don’t do anything, it’ll do it on its own. Shitty people will get what’s coming to them.” The presence in the culture of a great many truly shitty people suggests this is categorically untrue. a b c Fox, Killian (January 12, 2020).
