Julia Fox Says She Quit Major Project After Director’s ‘Racist’ Rant
Julia Fox, known for her eccentric ex-relationship with rapper Kanye West and emerging acting career as a standout in 2019’s Uncut Gems, is exposing the “racist” conversation that led her to drop a project she says she’d been part of for five years.
“OK, so the craziest thing just happened to me,” she begins in a new video posted to TikTok. “So I’ve been attached to a project for five years. I’ve given creative contributions to it, emotional contributions to it, it was like my baby. I even brought on like a major, major A-list icon to play alongside me and everything was going great until this white man director came in.”
According to Fox, this white male director, who she doesn’t name, “was trying to kick me off the project, meanwhile I’ve been there for five years and he’s been there for a week,” she continues. “I had mentioned [to him] that I really thought it was important to have diversity in our lead cast,” which immediately rubbed him the wrong way, she said.
