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. Edwards, Eve (January 13, 2020).

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.

Except that, in some ways, it didn’t. Fox had a baby with Peter Artemiev, a pilot she met at the Uncut Gems wrap party, married two months later, and divorced 18 months after that. She made a movie with Steven Soderbergh and Benicio del Toro called No Sudden Move (2021). As her fame grew, so it appeared to Fox, at times, that she had merely advanced to attracting a different kind of abusive man. In late 2021, a message reached her via a friend that a “famous artist” had been asking after her. This was West (who has changed his name to Ye), and a phone call between them was arranged. Over subsequent days, he called her multiple times and they talked for hours, or rather, in Fox’s account, “he talks for hours and I mostly listen”. She writes: “He loves my ideas and thinks I’m really smart.” When he invited Fox to meet him in Miami for New Year’s Eve, she politely declined – her son wasn’t yet a year old – so Ye chartered a private jet. She relented, taking her friends along with her. Within five days, he had put her friends on the payroll as stylists and asked if she wanted to take the “relationship” public. 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.

Retrieved July 27, 2022.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. I immediately think of an episode of ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians,’ where he did the same thing for his estranged wife in their early stages of dating,” Fox writes in her memoir. “This all feels so surreal. I can’t believe this is my life. “ In her early 20s, Fox and her friend Briana Andalore launched a bodycon knitwear label, Franziska Fox, which has been worn by celebrities including Kylie Jenner and Bella Thorne.

Retrieved January 17, 2022. The first relationship I chronicle is about my first boyfriend, Geo. I was 15 when I met him. We took ecstasy together the same night we met and went to St Marks and got each other's name tattooed on us. Eventually I ran away from home to be with him while he was on the run. He had been arrested prior to him meeting me for stabbing someone in the eye. He had a lot of control over me, I became very isolated when I was in hiding and the thought of leaving him wasn't even an option. Even from prison he still controlled a lot of what I did. He is still probably one of the most charming, manipulative and intelligent people I've ever met. But definitely the scariest. When the police finally caught up with him, it was a blessing from God. I was finally free. “She even writes about a moment when they go to the theater to see Jeremy O. Harris’s Slave Play. Once the show is over, and before they head out to dinner, Fox receives a text from her friend to meet her in the bathroom, where she finds a slew of clothes and different outfit options organized by West. She writes: “I’m happy to see her but it’s a little strange he didn’t just tell me he didn’t like my original outfit. Without protest, I slip into the garments. The artist is left speechless as I step out of the bathroom, effortlessly transitioning into my new role as the ultimate fashion girlie. His photographer snaps photos of me all night long at the artist’s encouragement. A part of me kind of feels like a show monkey, but I’ve been performing my whole life, so what’s the big deal?” A lot of people were like, oh, she’s only famous because of Ye. It’s like, no, I’ve been around and I’ve been in a full f------- movie and I did a lot of things before that, too,” she told The Guardian. “It’s that you’re just hearing about me now. That relationship doesn’t define me. It’s one little blip.” 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.
