Julia Fox Addresses Brother’s Arrest, Says She’s “Embarrassed” & He Has “A Lot Of Trauma”

by

Julia Fox is no stranger to creating controversy in the online world. Surprisingly, the most recent backlash she’s facing has more to do with a relative than her. Earlier this month, the actresses’ brother, Christopher Fox, was arrested along with their father Thomas, during an NYPD raid. At the time, authorities reportedly uncovered ghost guns and evidence of narcotics manufacturing inside their shared apartment. According to Page Six, items found include fentanyl, chloroform, heroin, crack, cocaine, pressure cookers, and other drug paraphernalia.

The mother of one was reportedly out of town when the raid took place at her family member’s house. She was apparently unaware of Christopher’s alleged crimes. Still, she gave support to him by co-signing a $450K bond with Thomas (who was previously let go from jail) to get her brother out of Rikers Island on Monday. As the news made rounds online, some users began criticizing Fox for standing by her sibling. She markedly addressed this in a TikTok on Thursday (March 16).

“I know my brother. I’ve always known him to be like — I’m not kidding, you guys — the sweetest, most gentle, kind, soft-spoken. Loves animals, loves to plant flowers, has a green thumb, loves nature,” the Italian starlet explained to viewers yesterday. However, she did note that Christopher and her “have a lot of trauma.” Julia describes herself as “scrappy” and “a fighter” who was able to throw her aggression and “release that rage.” On the other hand, she says her brother had a tendency to “internalize” his own anger.

While it’s certainly been a scary experience, Fox is grateful she’ll be able to get Christopher “the help [she’s] been trying to get him for so long.” The Uncut Gems star added, “I wish I could say more but I don’t want to damage his case or anything like that but I will say that I’m just embarrassed.” Thankfully, she’s got other, more positive things to help occupy her mind through this troubling time, such as the highly anticipated return of her Forbidden Fruits podcast.

Julia Fox co-hosts the Spotify Original series with her friend Niki Takesh, and they’ve had some interesting guests in the past, to say the least. To kick off their latest season, the girls shared not one, but two episodes – the first a catch-up between the Forbidden Fruits creators, and the second an interview with Fyre Festival scammer Billy MacFarland.

Julia Fox Posts Brother’s $450K Bail After He’s Arrested For Having Guns, Narcotics

by

Her outrageous antics steal attention, but Julia Fox is sharing the spotlight with her brother. We previously reported on Christopher and Samuel Fox being detained by authorities in New York. Samuel, Julia’s father, was quickly released; however, Christopher, the actress’s brother, was charged with “criminal possession of controlled substance, manufacture of a machine gun, manufacture of a rapid fire modified device, manufacture of a dangerous instrument, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a firearm and criminal possession of drug paraphilia.”

Christopher was reportedly held on a $450K bond, and today (March 14), it was revealed his sister paid for his release. Ira Judelson, a bail bondsman, spoke with The Post about his interaction with Julia. “Of course, Ms. Fox seemed upset,” he said. “It is her brother.” When Christopher exited the courthouse, he jumped into an awaiting vehicle with his father. They reportedly took off without giving any comments to reporters.

Christopher Fox & The Ghost Gun Raid

ABC News 7 initially reported that the NYPD’s Ghost Gun Team has been investigating the actress’s brother for some time. Neighbors called the authorities to report mysterious packages being delivered to Christopher’s apartment. During a raid, police learned that he was allegedly creating ghost guns. Those firearms can be 3D printed, and they’re especially dangerous because they can’t be traced. There aren’t any serial numbers or traceable markings—but the guns and parts weren’t all that police found.Narcotics were also reportedly located.

Police reportedly found “pills, a pill press, pressure cookers, fentanyl, chloroform, heroin, propane, formaldehyde, and materials often used to make explosives.” Christopher Fox will return to court on May 4. Julia hasn’t spoken about her family’s controversy, but it was noted that in her bail receipt, she listed herself as an “actress/model.” However, she stated she was “retired.”

On several occasions, Julia Fox has opened up about her past addictions. She’s struggled with substance abuse and even revealed she’d lost friends to overdoses. These days, Fox is sober living, at least to her liking. She doesn’t let jabs about her past drug use get to her, like those from Azealia Banks during their thumb-thugging internet war.

Julia Fox’s Dad, Brother Arrested In NYPD Ghost Guns Raid, Narcotics Seized: Report

by

Usually, Julia Fox commands attention due to her odd fashion choices or controversial commentary. Her fly-by-night romance with Kanye West was the talk of the world, and she’s a socialite who jet-sets from one end of the globe to another, often at coveted runway shows. However, she’s at the center of a scandal after reports stated her brother and father were arrested in New York. The public is shocked by the allegations.

According to ABC 7 News in New York, the police department’s Ghost Gun Team made a huge recovery. If you’re unfamiliar, “ghost guns” are illegal firearms or privately made kits (like a 3D printer) that create such weapons. These guns don’t have any traceable markings, including serial numbers, making crimes challenging to investigate for authorities. In this raid, the actress’s brother Christopher Fox and father, Samuel Fox, were detained. However, only the younger Fox was charged.

The investigation launched after someone gave the police an anonymous tip about suspicious packages. The raid proved to be lucrative after police found “found illegal guns, pills, a pill press, pressure cookers, fentanyl, chloroform, heroin, propane, formaldehyde, and materials often used to make explosives.” In a previous interview, ABC 7 reported Julia Fox once described her brother as a “mad scientist” who makes 3D prints.

Christopher was charged with “criminal possession of controlled substance, manufacture of a machine gun, manufacture of a rapid fire modified device, manufacture of a dangerous instrument, criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a firearm and criminal possession of drug paraphilia.” He reportedly doesn’t have a prior criminal record. It is unclear when he will appear in court for his arraignment.

The NYPD Releases A Statement, Julia Fox Is Silent

Investigators also released a statement about the bust. “The NYPD will continue to fight relentlessly against illegal guns – against both the steady proliferation of traditionally-manufactured firearms and the increasingly prevalent numbers of illegal, untraceable but fully functioning weapons known as ghost guns.” Further, Fox has yet to comment on her family’s legal troubles.
