Julia Fox Is Writing a Memoir and Hopes for TV Work Amidst High-Profile Kanya West Fling: ‘Give Me a F**King Job’
]
Native New Yorker Julia Fox says she has been using her time during the pandemic to write and reflect. The mother of one also really seems to want some work. Recently, the interest between Kanye West and the Uncut Gems star has raised questions of whether she’s riding on his popularity to raise her profile.
Who is Julia Fox?
Fox became famous after starring in the 2019 hit movie Uncut Gems. In the film, Fox played Julia, a worker, and girlfriend to Howard (Adam Sandler). She earned several awards and nominations for her role in the movie.
Fox was raised by her father in Manhattan, New York. The now-31-year-old often said her father shaped her childhood, allowing her to explore the world.
“I grew up Uptown, mostly,” she told High Snob Society. “We moved around a lot. It was kind of unstable. We were homeless at one point. I actually have lived in almost every single neighborhood – Harlem, Chelsea, everywhere. I moved Downtown when I was 17 and I haven’t left.”
Fox talks about her interests in life and the skills she explored. She calls herself a “renaissance girl” considering how she loves self-improvement. In one of her interviews, Fox admitted she was once a sex worker before venturing into acting.
In 2018, Fox tied the knot with Peter Artemiev, and there’s a son to their marriage. Though Fox’s bonding with Kanye has created a lot of confusion about the state of their marriage, there’s no evidence regarding their divorce.

Fox told Tommy Dorfman, who spoke with the actor for Interview, that she’s penning a memoir while managing life during the pandemic. “Lockdown gives me the chance to look inwards, remembering who I am and my aspirations. I am a person who keeps moving,” she told Dorfman in September 2021. Details about Fox’s memoir are still vague, but fans hope it relates to her upbringing and life in New York.
Notably, during her late 2021 Interview conversation, Fox also said she really wants to do television. “I love TV shows, so I’m hoping that saying it out loud into the universe and putting it down on paper, that someone will read it and give me a fucking job on a television show,” she explained to Dorfman. Additionally, Fox promoted her podcast with Spotify, Forbidden Fruit.
Fox seems ready for new work. Then, in early 2022, Kanye was spotted out with the 31-year-old amidst his marriage crises with Kim Kardashian West.
Since the January 1 outing in Miami, Kanye and Fox were seen in Makoto Bal Harbor and New York City. On January 5, Kanye and Fox were photographed together during a theater performance on Broadway, which Fox detailed to Interview. Besides the paparazzi outside the theater, Kanye brought along his own photographers. Later, they dined at Italian hotspot Carbone in Greenwich Village before ending the evening in Kanye’s hotel room.
According to Geo News, Kanye’s lifestyle intrigues Fox. She loves the attention and flows well with his thoughts. West sources add that Kanye likes Fox, but he isn’t in for a serious affair: “Kanye got big dreams and will be into many projects this year.”
On the other hand, Fox discussed the relationship with Interview, saying, “I met Ye in Miami on New Year’s Eve and it was an instant connection. His energy is so fun to be around. He had me and my friends laughing, dancing, and smiling all night.”
Is Julia’s romance with Kanye more than just a fling?
The actor’s outings with Kanye comes less than a year after Kardashian West initiated divorce proceedings against the rapper. Kanye has yet to fully let go of his estranged wife despite her continued relationship with Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson. Kanye recently pled for her return and even bought a home close to her street.
A source revealed to Us Weekly that Kanye’s heart is with Kim, and he believes their separation cannot be forever: “The other women, including Fox, are a mere distraction to him.”
Another source says Kim believes the relationship between her ex-husband and Fox is comical: “Kim believes it’s one of his numerous attempts to make her jealous. She has moved on at this point and has no interest in what he does.”

Julia, 31, showed off her curves in a tight leather catsuit on her Instagram Story.
Rap music played over the caption-less post as the minimalist outfit covered the actress from her neck down, including her finger tips.
She paired the striking look with a black purse and black boots.
Kanye, 44, and Julia were seen on several recent dates starting in early January, first in Miami and then in New York City where Kanye bought her a “room full of clothes,” as she gushed in her Interview Magazine photoshoot.
The Uncut Gems star recently flew to LA to spend more time with Kanye.
Kim, 41, has moved on with Pete Davidson, 28, as Julia’s looks continue to shadow the Donda rapper’s ex - which some fans say is no coincidence.
STYLE SIMILARITIES
Kanye was largely credited with “revolutionizing” Kim’s style while they were together, per PEOPLE - including designing her SKIMS logo and telling her what to wear.
Some fans think Kanye is now “dressing” Julia as a “replica” Kim.
“Does Julia Fox not realize that Kanye is literally dressing her and making her look like a replica Kim?” one fan wrote on Twitter. “So weird.”
“Kim herself said Kanye created her style so he’s dressing Julia fox with his design being the fashion mogul with a gap deal billionaire that he is wtf?”
Another wrote: “The man is a fashion icon so of course he’d want to dress his lady up regardless of who she may be. The Man is finally moving on why can’t we all be happy for him?”
To which a fourth responded: “Maybe, just maybe he’ll accept a person for who they are and not what he wants them to be.”

The former dominatrix - who was previously married to pilot Peter Artemiev, sharing son Valentino, eleven months - is also a “fan” of the Kardashian family.
Julia recently revealed on her own podcast, “Forbidden Fruits,” that she is a “die-hard” Keeping Up With The Kardashians fan.
“I’m gonna miss Keeping Up," Julia told co-host Niki Takesh in a December 17, 2021 episode of their show.
Fox revealed: “I have been watching ‘Keeping Up’ since it first came out in 2007 when watching it was embarrassing.”
She added that she is a “die-hard, OG” fan. “I wanted them to be my family… You feel like you know them.”
Her fandom came as she donned low-rise leather pants and more looks that reminded fans of Kim.
TRACKING THEIR DIFFERENCES
Though Kim and Julia may have similar style according to some fans, their respective relationships with Kanye and Pete are quite different.
Kanye has been flaunting his romance with Julia from city to city.
The new couple - who met on New Year’s Eve - recently enjoyed a star-studded night at Delilah’s, rubbing shoulders with Madonna and Floyd Mayweather as well as Kanye’s pals Antonio Brown and The Game.
The Donda rapper was recently accused of punching a fan and put out a new song on January 15 called Eazy that dissed Pete.
He rapped at one point: “God saved me from the crash, just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s a**.”
Kim, meanwhile, recently returned from a trip to the Bahamas with Pete. But other than that lavish getaway, the power couple has been going on budget-friendly dates, dressed much more casually.
Neither Kim nor Pete have responded to the track.

Julia Fox Reportedly In Talks To Play Debi Mazar In Madonna Biopic Amid Kanye West Romance
]
It turns out Julia Fox had a pretty big reason for having dinner with Madonna (and Kanye) on Jan. 13: they’re reportedly talking about a major film role.
Julia Fox is best known for her sexy role in Uncut Gems alongside Adam Sandler — but another major movie role involving Madonna may be in her future. The 31-year-old model and actress made headlines after a star-studded dinner that included the “Material Girl” singer, who is interested in Julia for the role of her close friend Debi Mazar in an upcoming biopic movie, Entertainment Weekly reports. HollywoodLife also EXCLUSIVELY reported that Madonna was “talking” to Julia about “professional projects” prior to her romance with Kanye.
The film, titled Blonde Ambition, was announced back in April 2017 by Variety. The project has seemingly been in the works since, with various updates here and there: in Sept. 2020, it was confirmed that Madonna would actually direct the project written by Diablo Cody. Debi would naturally be a part of the story, striking up a friendship with the “Papa Don’t Preach” when she worked as an operator at NYC club Danceteria back in the ’80s. Over the years, Debi, 57, has popped up in music videos like “Music” and “True Blue” with her BFF.
Debi is also known as an actress in her own right with roles in shows like HBO’s Entourage, Younger with Hilary Duff and Goodfellas. Julia and Debi notably look alike, which fans noticed after the release of Uncut Gems. While Debi and Julia have never met in person, the two did participate in a joint interview with Document over Zoom in August 2021. Julia said, “We’ve spoken over text and DM, but never in person. I’m sorry, I’m, like, starstruck!” before adding that Debi looked “so gorgeous.” The 57-year-old actress felt similarly about Julia after watching her film with Adam as she recovered from COVID-19.
In addition to Madonna, Julia’s new beau Kanye West, 44, was at the dinner, along with Floyd Mayweather and football player Antonio Brown. Naturally, the Yeezy designer brought a photographer along to document the evening — which included several sexy shots of Madonna posing with a leather clad Julia on a sofa.
As for the movie, Madonna has previously said she wants to “convey the incredible journey that life has taken on her on” to global pop stardom. “The focus of this film will always be music. Music has kept me going and art has kept me alive. There are so many untold and inspiring stories and who better to tell it than me. It’s essential to share the roller coaster ride of my life with my voice and vision,” she said in a 2020 statement to Variety.

As a matter of fact, she loves the lyrics.
Page Six can exclusively reveal that Julia Fox has no problem with beau Kanye West threatening physical violence against Pete Davidson in his new song “My Life Was Never Eazy.”
“Obviously she hopes this doesn’t cause more drama for Ye, but he’s an artist and this is how he chooses to express himself and she can’t judge that,” the insider says of Fox’s thoughts on the track.
Just days after allegedly punching a fan, the musician, 44, rapped in a teaser, “God saved me from that crash/ just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass.”
The pointed lyric not only mentions Davidson’s name but references how West survived a nearly fatal car accident in 2002.
A source close to the couple says Fox, 31, “loves” the song because it mentions her, not by name but “implied” elsewhere.
West’s relationship with the “Uncut Gems” actress has heated up this month as the hip-hop star’s estranged wife, Kim Kardashian, continues to explore a romance with Davidson, 28.

West’s diss at Davidson marks the first time he has ever publicly addressed his feelings about the “Saturday Night Live” star courting his ex, with whom the Yeezy designer shares four children: North, 8, Saint, 6, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 2.
Sources previously told Page Six that West has been parading his romance with Fox at hot spots in New York City and Los Angeles in an attempt to “get under Kim’s skin.”
“It’s a desperate play for attention. There’s no other explanation when he chooses … [Fox] to go public with,” one insider said.

But it’s not working, according to other sources, who’ve told us that Kardashian, 41, is “unbothered” by West dating the self-proclaimed “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” “superfan.”
Kardashian is enjoying “feeling completely free” in her relationship with Davidson, an insider noted and has “fully moved on” from her marriage to West.
Julia Fox Opens Up About Being a Former Sex Worker in Hollywood
]
Julia Fox is speaking out about Hollywood’s perception toward sex workers.
The actress, who entered the sex industry as a dominatrix while in high school, opened up to poet and sex worker Rachel Rabbit White for Office magazine. Rabbit White began the conversation by lauding Fox for her feature film debut in the Safdie brothers’ 2019 crime thriller, Uncut Gems. “In the New York City sex work community that created a buzz,” the writer said, “like she’s one of us, and she’s really doing it.”
“It’s always been in the back of my mind,” Fox replied. “Just that I’ve been given these opportunities when that just doesn’t happen for a lot of sex workers. It’s that people don’t take you seriously if you’re a creative and also a sex worker. … I wish I could go back in time and tell myself ten years ago things are going to turn around for you and you’ll be seen finally. At the time, I didn’t have high hopes but I was optimistic. I knew I didn’t want to be in the sex industry forever but I really didn’t know how I would get out, I didn’t have a plan. I’m really grateful for how everything happened organically.”
Despite starring in a critically acclaimed film, Fox reflected on some ways that the industry still stifles sex workers. “For instance, after a movie like Uncut Gems, I probably should have gotten some sort of brand deal, whether Chanel or something like that. But you know, that didn’t happen. And I’m sure that it’s because I don’t have the cleanest image,” she said. “I honestly feel like they’d be lucky to have someone like me to endorse them, you know what I mean? Like, they’re just not there yet I feel.”
She added that the career trajectory of someone like Cardi B, who formerly worked as a stripper, is a step in the right direction. “For sex workers, Cardi B is like, a great example. Like, she’s really doing her thing,” she continued. “That’s huge for, you know, a stripper to come out and now be like fucking Cardi B. So, I feel like, you know, music now has accepted it. Hopefully film and television will become a little more accepting.”

Still, she recalled being sexualized by certain unnamed Hollywood executives. “There were some things said about my figure, about my butt potentially being too big to be in a movie, which is ridiculous because we see big boobs in movies. A big butt is super mainstream now and it’s like, ‘Get with it!’” Fox said. “What am I supposed to do, apologize for it and hide it so that your reaction to me is acceptable? I’m not responsible for your reaction to me. Get your fucking head out of the gutter.”
Rabbit White also brought up how New York City sex workers are “keenly aware of how much money other people have and of the disparity of wealth.”
“When I was working … I had never held a thousand dollars before,” Fox responded. “I remember getting tipped a thousand dollars and seeing that money in my checking account. I just remember being, like, ‘No, that check was fake, it bounced. He canceled it. There’s no way.’ … And now a thousand dollars isn’t as much money to me, but at the time I felt like, wow, you know? I was living on my own and I just got so thrown, I got exposed to things that I never had growing up, for sure, like I was literally 18 years old checking the stock market because that would in turn affect my clients, my money.”
Of working as a dominatrix, Fox recalled the emotionally tolling aspects of the job. “Dominatrixing was … much less about sex and more about mind-fucking and being a sadist or being a masochist or whatever. And so it was a little more emotional I would say,” she said. “I just felt like I released so much aggression on these guys. And obviously there were submissive moments in there as well. At the end of the day it is a service. You’re a dominatrix. You are providing a service.”
Fox, a longtime fixture on the Manhattan party and creative scene, was nominated for the Breakthrough Actor Award at the 2019 Gotham Independent Film Awards. She’s also set to star in the upcoming adaptation of Carrie White’s best-selling memoir, Upper Cut: Highlights of My Hollywood Life.
