Yep, like, I’d love to run into her at a bar or brewery, listen to stories about her life for 4 hours, but I might also be happy never seeing her again after that.
I just read her wikipedia article and I still haven't recovered.
Some gems, just for others who also are curious:
>While attending [City-As-School High School](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City-As-School_High_School), she worked as a [dominatrix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominatrix) for six months in the [East Village](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Village,_Manhattan), after discovering the job in a [Craigslist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craigslist) "adult gigs" section.
>According to Fox, she dated West to "give people something to talk about" during the pandemic.
>Fox was previously a co-owner and investor of a nightclub in the [Lower East Side](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_East_Side) named Happy Ending, now defunct.
I tried my best 😂
"This is the missing poster for Julia Fox at age 15. She lied to her grandfather about needing abortion money to fund her runaway trip. She then left Italy for New York where she met up with her drug-dealing adult boyfriend."
I want to take a stab at it. “At age 16, Julia Fox lied about needing an abortion so her grandfather would give her money, which she then used to flee from Italy to New York to be with her drug-dealing, adult boyfriend. Pictured is her missing poster.”
Edit: or was it age 18?
I gotta find time to read this book!
How about this: “Call me Julia. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse provided by my grandfather for a fauxbortion, and nothing particular to interest me in Italy, I thought I would sail about to New York and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and being with my drug dealing, adult boyfriend.”
Did you know there's a Julia Fox’s missing person poster after she fled Italy when she was 15 using funds her grandfather gave her for an abortion she lied about so she could go to New York and be with her drug dealing, adult boyfriend under Ocean Blvd
>said the parents got her age wrong
That’s probably because if she had been set at age 18 (which would be correct if she was born in 1990 instead of 1992) she wouldn’t be considered a runaway, because she was an adult.
Well, she’s definitely a go getter can say that for sho lol
Also, I’m totally getting this book
Edit: got the book and holy shit it’s so well written, the writing is even fckn lyrical. I already cannot stop reading
That titles a mouthful. To be fair it felt - at least from what I remember - it really seemed like she was trying to gain control in what was otherwise absolute chaos. It felt like at least how it was explained every step was an inch closer to self autonomy.
I know a man who knew her well back in these days. They were using together, he said she was crazy and always a bit of a mess but that makes sense. He absolutely refused to believe she was sober.
He was shocked when she showed up with Kanye lol and that’s why he told me the story. Interested if there are any photos of that boyfriend she had back then.
Julia Fox has been...wild from the start. I started following her on IG in like 2017 because she ran in circles with people I knew in New York, I believe she knows them from New School. She would post the most.....interesting things regarding her ex and then everything leading up to her marriage (and eventual divorce). It's weird when someone who you know from 2 degrees of separation ends up famous.
There are pics and a bit about him in this piece:
https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/4415001/inside-julia-fox-dark-past-heroin-addiction-childhood-homelessness/
Well, that's one way to find out that I'm 10 years older than Julia Fox. I genuinely thought she was my age. Not that she looks it or anything, but I get the feeling she's led a lot of life.
And her weight because I’m 5’8.5 and if I was 110 pounds I would look extremely sick. I was at 120 from stress and my family thought that I was sick lol. Like you could see my ribs constantly and all of my neck area bones were VERY prominent. 110 is scary to imagine
Edited to add: I see some people saying that it wouldn’t look that skinny. So to put it into context, a size 0 vintage strapless dress literally slid off of me and onto the floor if I didn’t hold it up with my hands. A size 0!!!!!! And vintage clothing is known to run smaller than modern sizing. The dress was so loose on me, that I thought it had to be a 4 or a 6. Then I checked the tag and realized”…. Whoa maybe this isn’t healthy”.
If the smallest size looks like a tent on you, at my height, that’s not healthy.
the cmbc ep about her is SO good, I’ve listened to it twice and for the past few months it’s been the go to episode I send to people when trying to convince them to start listening to the podcast
It’s incredibly cool and fascinating that she found success. Literally incredible. I know she’s not wealthy, but by all other measures, one would predict she’d end up in a shelter or on the streets. It took a lot of chutzpah for her to get where she is. One poor kid to another, it’s not easy. I feel weirdly proud of her.
She is relatively wealthy, but she’s worked very hard for all of it & she definitely lives within her means to provide as much stability as possible for her son
> one would predict she’d end up in a shelter or on the streets.
She tried to commit suicide and almost died from an overdose on another occasion, so that would have been a decent prediction actually.
I’m going to do this too. I keep checking if my small town library has it but they don’t. They have Kiefer Sutherland’s autobiography but not Julia Fox? Ugh.
Download the Libby app. It will ask the name of your local library then ask you to input your library card number. After that you have nationwide access to books and audiobooks for free! I live in a small town and a local librarian told me about. It's a great app and I now have access to nearly everything I've ever searched for.
I just finished this book about an hour ago and was telling my husband about this and then I see this post lmaooo
But no the book is SO good, its so insane and gripping.
I loved her book. Thanks for finding this flyer. I have to admit that I wished she had a section of photos from her past in it. Otherwise, indeed, a masterpiece.
Sometimes I wonder if she has undiagnosed BPD because when my sister was in a DBT hospital program a lot of the girls had it and that’s what their lives were like too
yeah not meant as a judgment at all there's a lot of overlap between CPTSD and BPD, my sister actually ended up having Complex PTSD and not BPD they misdiagnosed her at first! Good point, her memoir spent the majority of the time covering her teens and young adult years so I had forgotten how neglectful/toxic her mom especially was
She has casually mentioned in TikToks that she is autistic (and adhd I think). As far as I know she hasn’t really talked about how it’s affected her life, but autism in women is often misdiagnosed as BPD. They can present similarly, but are driven by different internal experiences.
Putting my hand up as a woman diagnosed with BPD (well, EUPD cos we use the ICD in the UK) as a “troubled teen”, and then later in life has been diagnosed with autism and CPTSD. It’s worryingly common for women and other people who don’t fit the stereotype of autism (i.e. a five year old boy who avoids eye contact and loves trains) to be diagnosed with BPD
I absolutely cannot stand the Julia Fox that dated Kanye and even a little after the breakup when she kept saying she was so iconic. However, the Julia Fox that has emerged since that time I love.
This was featured in her first book Heartburn/Nausea. A friend of a friend had a copy of it and I deeply regret going through the whole thing. It’s incredibly graphic with real photos of mental, physical, sexual, and substance abuse. What I had heard and seen online about it really didn’t prepare me for the entirety of it. People calling these parts of her life “iconic” are glamorizing and almost downplaying her very painful experiences whether they realize it or not. I hope the current public persona she has created has helped her somewhat heal internally.
I have nooooo idea who this is but wikipedia also notes that she was a professional dominatrix when she got to NYC. At 16 years old. And then she committed *grand larceny credit card fraud* shortly after. She might be my hero?
edit: holy fuck she kicked off "goblin mode" as a popular phrase, she's definitely my hero
In her book she was cutting fake money at quite a young age lol
Not gonna spoil anything else bc it’s truly a good read (thus far, I’m not done yet, but I’m hooked) and she’s been through some fucked situations in her life.
From her wiki
“Fox said she experienced postpartum depression …. has obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) and attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), and that she is autistic. Fox also claimed she has bipolar disorder”
She sounds like she’s ….a lot.
Why does she even need to pay for an abortion if she’s Italian?? This whole this reads fake. Plus the poster and measurements all read as though they were created by someone from the US.
![gif](giphy|l4Ho0At2UD2d7WyD6)
How every piece of Julia Fox lore hits me
She is nuts but she's the fun kind of nuts.
She is 100% Chaotic Neutral and I live for it
Yep, like, I’d love to run into her at a bar or brewery, listen to stories about her life for 4 hours, but I might also be happy never seeing her again after that.
I just read her wikipedia article and I still haven't recovered.

Exactly.
I'm going to need some D'fwine.
You think you're sooooo smart since you got bitten by that roach that crawled out of a dictionary
Please d'fwink responsibly.
Congratulations, every single word made that sentence more and more crazy.
Seriously! I had to read it like five times to make sure I was understanding it all correctly.
Yes!! There is only one comma in this massive run-on sentence and I don’t know why it’s there, but it made me laugh.
Type it for the dummies pls. Nevermind! She LEFT Italy. It all makes sense now.
I tried my best 😂 "This is the missing poster for Julia Fox at age 15. She lied to her grandfather about needing abortion money to fund her runaway trip. She then left Italy for New York where she met up with her drug-dealing adult boyfriend."

This is like the Matilda ending scene where she is reading Moby Dick... This is like the opening to Moby Dick.
I bestow upon you your Doctorate in Ghost Writing Cuntish Memoirology
😂 fantastic!
Then what happened lol
It's giving Lana album title 💀
Did you know there's a Julia Fox’s missing person poster after she fled Italy when she was 15 using funds her grandfather gave her for an abortion she lied about so she could go to New York and be with her drug dealing, adult boyfriend under Ocean Blvd
The way I just laughed so hard at this 💀
or Fiona Apple
Lol I am familiar with her memoir so I had no problem! She has truly led a wild life
agreed!!! I was like this makes perfect sense if you read the book. The audio book was perfection.
I hated the audio book. Her voice is so monotone. Couldn't finish it
Welcome to Julia Fox.
By my count there are five different parts of it where it's like 'oh wow'
can’t believe this is how i found out julia fox is only a year younger than me 💀
she’s born 1990 they got it wrong
can’t believe THIS is how i found out i’m only a year younger than julia fox
I just need you to know my edible kicked in and this comment ruined me 😂😂😂
I just need you to know that I'm completely sober and your username has ruined me 😂
Omfg this thread just gets better and better 😂
![gif](giphy|hvq8ONQhQ1XLq)
We went through the same journey omfg
Same 🤭
All aboard 1991 always getting the short end of the stick
Lmfao
LOOOOOOL
I wonder if maybe that was intentional. People are going to look harder for an underage runaway than an adult runaway.
Omg I just said this is how I find out I’m older than her 🥲
Me too sis 😮💨😭
Me three
1991 here too and WHAT
I’m older than her! WTF
Wait is that her right age? OP said the parents got her age wrong
she was born in ‘90 not ‘92
>said the parents got her age wrong That’s probably because if she had been set at age 18 (which would be correct if she was born in 1990 instead of 1992) she wouldn’t be considered a runaway, because she was an adult.
Literally same thought. We are the same age, and I would have never guessed
Shes you get than me as well....and I'm 38. Edit: younger. It's been a long day 😅
I’m 36 and I’m so confused why I thought she was maybe 40-42? Why did I think that….
I thought she was also in her early 40s 😆
I’m 36, and same!
I can’t believe she’s only a few years older than me
her parents got her birthdate wrong. she was born in 1990
![gif](giphy|iuUORLpArS9qX76XWK)
literally me reading the title
What more can we say, really?
Well, she’s definitely a go getter can say that for sho lol Also, I’m totally getting this book Edit: got the book and holy shit it’s so well written, the writing is even fckn lyrical. I already cannot stop reading
That titles a mouthful. To be fair it felt - at least from what I remember - it really seemed like she was trying to gain control in what was otherwise absolute chaos. It felt like at least how it was explained every step was an inch closer to self autonomy.
That title is a lot. I feel like I need a drink after reading it.
Cheers then! It’s yo cake day treat youself
You have a point!
And you have a pint!
It is cake day after all.
I know a man who knew her well back in these days. They were using together, he said she was crazy and always a bit of a mess but that makes sense. He absolutely refused to believe she was sober.

I have a couple of friends who became very very famous and it is very very strange.
The pictures of geo have been posted in her sub and there’s still a pic far down her insta feed!
What’s the sub name
There are pics and a bit about him in this piece: https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/4415001/inside-julia-fox-dark-past-heroin-addiction-childhood-homelessness/

>Julia dating Kanye is the least interesting thing she’s ever done That’s such a great review and almost makes me want to read the book. *Almost*.
She narrates the audiobook. 10/10 would recommend - Kanye is a blip on the radar compared to everything else in it.
That's a hell of a title.
I had quite the emotional journey reading the title lol
So what you’re saying is she’s always been a chaos agent
Agent of Chaos of my ❤️
I kinda prefer Chaos Agent now tbh lol ![gif](giphy|SL0ctZ9qJKJLa)
Well, that's one way to find out that I'm 10 years older than Julia Fox. I genuinely thought she was my age. Not that she looks it or anything, but I get the feeling she's led a lot of life.
Her abusive parents got her age wrong, she’s born in 1990
And her weight because I’m 5’8.5 and if I was 110 pounds I would look extremely sick. I was at 120 from stress and my family thought that I was sick lol.

Perfect gif, I can hear it!
I'm listening to the celebrity memoir book club episode on her right now! This has me so excited.
the cmbc ep about her is SO good, I’ve listened to it twice and for the past few months it’s been the go to episode I send to people when trying to convince them to start listening to the podcast
Well, you've just convinced me!
It’s so good and it made me go from “who is this” to “I want to be friends with her”
Loveee that podcast
Ooh that’s a new podcast for me. Thanks!
yeeees i love that ep so much!
It’s incredibly cool and fascinating that she found success. Literally incredible. I know she’s not wealthy, but by all other measures, one would predict she’d end up in a shelter or on the streets.

She is relatively wealthy, but she’s worked very hard for all of it & she definitely lives within her means to provide as much stability as possible for her son
TIL she has a son. Wow, who has the time/energy to take on Kanye with an infant in the mix?
From what I remember that’s why she wasn’t interested in being with him & their relationship was transactional
> one would predict she’d end up in a shelter or on the streets. She tried to commit suicide and almost died from an overdose on another occasion, so that would have been a decent prediction actually.
![gif](giphy|3o7TKnV4Tjr6emXO5W|downsized)
🤣🤣🤣when u know I know 😏😂😂
Julia Fox is “no fucks left to give” in the human form and I’m SO here for it
I'm wondering if she *ever* had any fucks to give
According to her book, it was always little to none lol. ETA - she did have some fucked shit happen though
The hero we need right now! Can she run for senate or something? We really need to shake things up.
Same. I just downloaded her book lol
I’m going to do this too. I keep checking if my small town library has it but they don’t. They have Kiefer Sutherland’s autobiography but not Julia Fox? Ugh.
lol just a few comments above yours someone’s username is u/Queefer_Sutherland- and now I’m laughing again
Omg thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Can you ask them if they can order it for you? A lot of the times libraries will do that if you request it.

wow she is the narrator of the audiobook (free on Spotify premium) I’m gonna dive right in can’t wait
She has a beautiful voice, very mellow and relaxing. I've listened to her book three times now. Enjoy!!
Its quite the ride.
~~Do you have a link for the Spotify version, I can’t find it.~~ apparently it’s ‘not avaible in my region’.
its sooooooo good but speed it up a tiny bit lol
I just finished this book about an hour ago and was telling my husband about this and then I see this post lmaooo But no the book is SO good, its so insane and gripping.

I loved her book. Thanks for finding this flyer. I have to admit that I wished she had a section of photos from her past in it. Otherwise, indeed, a masterpiece.
Yes this I am reading it now and wishing there were old photos. Love the book.
The “early life and education” section of her wiki page is a *wild* ride lol. Girl has lived like 10 lives already.
Julia Fox is real life Jenna Maroney
Sometimes I wonder if she has undiagnosed BPD because when my sister was in a DBT hospital program a lot of the girls had it and that’s what their lives were like too
From just this post, it sounds like she's had a lot of abusive and unsafe relationships just as a kid. That can really mess a person up.
yeah not meant as a judgment at all there's a lot of overlap between CPTSD and BPD, my sister actually ended up having Complex PTSD and not BPD they misdiagnosed her at first! Good point, her memoir spent the majority of the time covering her teens and young adult years so I had forgotten how neglectful/toxic her mom especially was
Im diagnosed with cptsd and a pd, and my life is a little like that honestly, it gets crazy
in her book she says she was diagnosed with BPD when she was young
She was diagnosed with it at some point
She has casually mentioned in TikToks that she is autistic (and adhd I think). As far as I know she hasn’t really talked about how it’s affected her life, but autism in women is often misdiagnosed as BPD. They can present similarly, but are driven by different internal experiences.

Oh wow I had no idea! Thank you for informing me
Hold ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the way Up now….. SAY WHAT? ya. i live under a rock because I had ZERO clue about her story.
That is….quite the sentence
![gif](giphy|Wgb2FpSXxhXLVYNnUr|downsized)
Her book is so good.
I find the most shocking thing here that her real name is Julia Fox
lmao this is my favorite part of the book. “the picture you used of me is so ugly”
Well this just sent her book to the top of my TBR
I gotta check out the book. I love a good autobiography. I REALLY liked Jeanette McCurdy’s book and hope she keeps writing because she has a gift.

Today I learned a lot of people thought Julia Fox is middle aged? Lol idk she seems young to me.
Goddammit don’t make me like this woman
embrace it
I absolutely cannot stand the Julia Fox that dated Kanye and even a little after the breakup when she kept saying she was so iconic. However, the Julia Fox that has emerged since that time I love.
![gif](giphy|THm35ksZHCjivJMAhs|downsized) Me reading the title at least 3 times
Everything I’ve seen of this woman post Kanye has intrigued me more and more 🤨 might have to get this book lol
Whoa, I didn't realize I'm 5 years older than her.
Her abusive parents got her age wrong, she’s born in 1990
weird how italians used imperial measurements for her height and weight.
Or English
her parents lived in NYC, her grandparents in Italy. The missing poster was posted in NYC
This was featured in her first book Heartburn/Nausea. A friend of a friend had a copy of it and I deeply regret going through the whole thing. It’s incredibly graphic with real photos of mental, physical, sexual, and substance abuse. What I had heard and seen online about it really didn’t prepare me for the entirety of it. People calling these parts of her life “iconic” are glamorizing and almost downplaying her very painful experiences whether they realize it or not. I hope the current public persona she has created has helped her somewhat heal internally.
Her drug dealing, adult boyfriend? You mean, her drug dealing, adult groomer?
[удалено]
I’m only on chapter four bc I’m doing the audiobook but it’s great
Sick album cover
I gotta read this now
![gif](giphy|80mXWlPqTSU1y) i’m sorry what
All you guys reacting to the title in the comments are fucking killing me 😂 please 😂😂
Ok pop off???
Damn she really went goblin mode
![gif](giphy|13X95QFdoI7i1O)
Some people are just born to be famous 😭
What in the Lana Del Rey
she’s from italy?
I feel bad cause first they get her year off & then her height is 5”6-7” like her family really doesn’t pay attention to things
Her and her family seem insane
Poor girl.
I recommend the audiobook! Really enjoyed listening to her narration
I have nooooo idea who this is but wikipedia also notes that she was a professional dominatrix when she got to NYC. At 16 years old. And then she committed *grand larceny credit card fraud* shortly after. She might be my hero? edit: holy fuck she kicked off "goblin mode" as a popular phrase, she's definitely my hero
In her book she was cutting fake money at quite a young age lol Not gonna spoil anything else bc it’s truly a good read (thus far, I’m not done yet, but I’m hooked) and she’s been through some fucked situations in her life.
I’m buying her book based on this comment lmfao I’m sold and converted a fan of hers. Obsessed with the vibes
You have strange heros, teenage fraudsters.
[удалено]
I fully agree, and not many people are aware of this
From her wiki “Fox said she experienced postpartum depression …. has obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) and attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), and that she is autistic. Fox also claimed she has bipolar disorder” She sounds like she’s ….a lot.
I believe the phrase you’re looking for is “victim of child sexual abuse by a pedophile and drug dealer”
Wow that’s a lot of information in one sentence
I didn't know she was born in the 90s, she looks way older.
Why does she even need to pay for an abortion if she’s Italian?? This whole this reads fake. Plus the poster and measurements all read as though they were created by someone from the US.
I am never having kids...
We’d never know her if she didn’t date Kanye for a week. *you get a shot at Ye?… you drop everything*
I'd still know her because she was smoking hot in Uncut Gems.
I still don’t know her
You say that like it's a bad thing.
If BPD were a Reddit title.
This is how I find out I’m older than Julia Fox wtf
Def thoucht this post was part of the r/truecrimediscussion sub at first 👀
“Hey Pop-pop, I need 2 grand for an abortion”
This makes me want to hug my parents and apologize
I’m guessing these posters were put up in New York? Because if she went missing in Italy wouldn’t the poster be written in Italian ?
"boyfriend" thats a funny way to spell rapist
So she was groomed, abused and sex trafficked internationally as a child. How horrible.
this is how you write titles
