Julia Fox & Grimes Discuss Dangers Of Photoshop For Celebrities
Some celebrities, such as the Kardashian-Jenner sisters, are constantly being called out for Photoshop fails on Instagram. Others, like Julia Fox, are now using their platforms to discuss the dangers of altering images – especially when celebrities do it without offering any form of transparency. For the latest episode of her Forbidden Fruits podcast, the mother of one sat down with co-host Niki Takesh and Canadian artist Grimes to discuss the future of artificial intelligence, as well as some of the problems that can come with such advanced technology.
“A lot of celebrities Photoshop their images, so girls have unrealistic expectations, like, ‘Why can’t I look like that?’” the Uncut Gems actress pointed out. While normal people may envy their favourite stars, Fox cautioned listeners, “Boo, they don’t even look like that!” Grimes then chimed in with, “Yeah I feel like the idea that the average person is a 10 right now is very impressive if you’re a kid… It’s very concerning, it’s the most irresponsible thing tech is doing right now.” From Fox’s perspective, the new features constantly coming out are “demonic.”
Julia Fox and Grimes Talk Photoshop
Of course, the Italian-born starlet has previously been candid about undergoing plastic surgery herself. Seeing as she’s been transparent about having liposuction and Botox, fans have commended Fox for her realness. The problem seems to lie with those who aren’t straightforward about the work they’ve had done, or the alternations they make to their Instagram uploads, leaving followers to desperately desire to be or lust after something that isn’t even real. Following today’s episode, the “Player of Games” songstress will be back for another appearance later this month, likely to spill more tech tea.
Others who have already been interviewed by Julia Fox and Nikki Takesh include Emily Ratajkowski, Amber Rose, and Billy McFarland, who was the first official guest on the podcast’s second season back in March.

Amber Rose & Julia Fox Discuss Dating Kanye West In New “Forbidden Fruits” Episode: Watch
The list of women who have been involved with Kanye West throughout his career certainly isn’t short. In the early days of his rise to fame, the father of four was previously on and off with designer Alexis Phifer and spent a brief period with Harlem Heights star Brooke Crittendon. Not long after those ended is when his first high-profile relationship, with Amber Rose, caught the public’s attention. They were also making up and breaking up from 2008 to 2010, though some of their most iconic fashion moments remain imprinted in the brains of pop culture fanatics everywhere.
Following that romance came the birth of Kimye as Kim Kardashian dissolved her 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries in 2012. In December of that same year, the socialite announced her pregnancy with their first child, which the “All of the Lights” rapper followed up with a proposal. They went on to welcome three more children, though their marriage was unable to stand the test of time and ultimately ended in 2022. West went on to spend time with models like Irina Shayk and Candice Swanepoel, though it was his short-lived union with Julia Fox that really had the masses talking.
What’s it Really Like to Date Kanye West?

As the second season of her Forbidden Fruits podcast kicks off, the Uncut Gems actress welcomed Rose onto the show to discuss what it was like to date the 45-year-old. At one point, the OnlyFans creator recalled West offering to come to a close family member’s funeral with her, which she adamantly refused. “I called Kanye like, ‘F*ck, I need a ticket home right now. My aunt just died, she’s like my favourite person on Earth,” she shared. “He was like, ‘I’ll come to Philly with you. I’ll come to the funeral, whatever you need.’ And I was like, ‘You can’t come to the funeral. The whole [thing] is gonna be about you.”
“Not you pulling up to your auntie’s funeral with Kanye West,” co-host Niki Takesh joked. “You know he’d find the AUX cord, and he’d start playing his new song, Julia Fox chimed in with a laugh. Elsewhere in this week’s episode, the Forbidden Fruits personalities and Rose discuss how she “ascended to fame on her own terms” while correcting some of the misconceptions around her come-up.

Julia Fox Shoots Down Rumor She’s On Weight-Loss Drug
Julia Fox shot down the rumors that she’s on the weight-loss drug, Ozempic, during an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Sunday. The popular diabetes medicine has been used by many for its added weight-loss effect.
“All these people are coming for me saying that I take the weight-loss things — people are saying that I’m taking Ozempic or whatever it’s called — I’m not, and I never have,” Fox told the outlet. “I would never do that. There are diabetics that need it.” Fox’s podcasting co-host Niki Takesh added, “It’s a diabetes medication and there’s people that actually need it.”

Fox has previously spoken about her body changing as she ages, claiming that she has no intention of fighting it off. “Just so you guys know, aging is fully in. Like, fully,” she said on TikTok. “If I see another product that says anti-aging on the label, I’m suing. I’m going to sue. I’m going to age regardless of if I put that f—king $500 serum on my face, and you all f—king know it and we know it, so let’s stop lying to ourselves.”
Elsewhere in her interview with ET, Fox addressed the backlash to her viral New York City apartment tour. She argued that anyone who criticized her for the video has never lived in NYC. “I feel like a lot of people outed themselves for never having been to New York when the outrage about the mouse happened, because it’s like, everybody has mice here!” Fox explained. “It’s when you have rats that you need to regulate. [That’s a] very important distinction.” She also reflected on her own childhood in NYC. “When I was little, I used to have so much fun catching them and releasing them,” Fox added. “But now, it’s like, I’m tired and, like, do I wanna go catch a mouse after a 16-hour day? No, I’m just gonna convince myself that the mouse is a pet.”

Julia Fox Addresses Brother’s Arrest, Says She’s “Embarrassed” & He Has “A Lot Of Trauma”
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).
Julia Fox Spills Tea on TikTok
“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.
Forbidden Fruits’ Return
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. Check out both shows below, and tap back in later for more pop culture news updates.

Julia Fox Posts Brother’s $450K Bail After He’s Arrested For Having Guns, Narcotics
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.”
Julia Fox Has Been Candid About Her Past
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
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.
Police Find Guns, Drugs, & Paraphernalia
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.
Julia Fox’s Leather Lingerie Makes A Statement At Milan Fashion Week
The one person we can always count on to make a bold outfit statement – whether it’s fashion week or not – is Julia Fox. The mother of one is presently in her hometown of Milan, Italy for the ongoing style celebrations, and she certainly isn’t coming quietly. On Saturday (February 25), she donned a daring all-black ensemble that, while certainly kept her warm from any cool breezes, still showed off her flat mid-section and curvy thighs.
Of course, this isn’t the only unique look we’ve seen the Uncut Gems starlet in this month. While attending New York Fashion Week she carried a chilling six-foot body bag as a purse, bringing no shortage of attention her way. Prior to that, she walked in Alexander Wang’s runway and attempted to defend herself from the backlash she received as a result of supporting the controversial designer.
Julia Channels Her Inner Dominatrix
The 33-year-old looked nothing short of animalistic in her latest statement ‘fit. Beneath a calf-length black fur coat, she paid tribute to her former dominatrix days in some ultra-sexy thigh-high leather boots and a matching thong. Her chest hides behind a crop top which left most of her perfectly flat stomach on display.
Fox’s accessories included a black and silver circular-shaped purse, as well as a pair of futuristic, blue-tinted glasses. On her hands, she wore giant claws that seem to resemble some sort of creature. The more fashion-forward fans of the actress feel the inspiration in her bold choices. The critics, however, are making it known they can’t get behind her out-of-the-box style quite yet.
Fur Coat Frenzy
As you may have seen in the news this weekend, Fox isn’t the only one to step out in a stunning fur coat lately. Rihanna also did earlier this month, while grabbing dinner at her favourite restaurant in Santa Monica. Unfortunately for her, PETA isn’t taking so kindly to the Bad Gal wearing animals and didn’t hesitate to send her a letter requesting that she switch to a cruelty-free alternative.
To make her transition easier, the organization has offered to send the new mother a faux fur coat from an ethical brand. Additionally, they’re hoping to take Rihanna’s collection of coats and other garments off her hands and deliver them to victims of the natural disasters in Turkey and Syria who have been left with nothing. Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news.

Julia Fox Sports Creepy 6-Foot Body Bag For NYFW
Uncut Gems star Julia Fox is going viral, yet again, for a disturbing fashion choice at New York Fashion Week. Fox’s final look for the week has taken the gold for the most bizarre artistic decisions she has ever made. To finish off her cropped leather jacket and gray miniskirt, the model added a 6-foot replication of a body that served as her bag for the evening. The vinyl body bag weighed 3.5 pounds, according to Page Six Style. Additionally, it featured similar 10-inch heels that Fox wore to complete this creepy look. Decked out in a blonde wig, this unusual body bag was designed by Toronto-based designer Michael Kale.
Subsequently, Kale said: “Seeing Julia Fox wearing my pieces is a dream come true; she was a muse of mine for this collection.” Kale also designed the cropped jacket worn by Fox which matched the body bag, only adding to its extra-spooky effect. Fox doesn’t typically shy away from that which is frightening. Except for the Birkin purses gifted to her by ex-Kanye West. The model described one of the bags as being too “scary to wear out”. Granted, one of the Birkins was “actually slashed by a machete” in an unfortunate night out.
Julia Fox Turns Heads With Realistic Body Bag Satchel
Fox has been known for stunting in avant-garde outfits, especially with a dramatic flair. In last year’s NYFW, Fox sported a low-rise pant skirt and simply duck taped her breasts with one single piece of tape. The ex-dominatrix often shows off her fit-bod, once rocking the lowest of low-rise pants and a bikini top, and another time dressing in a leather cropped hoodie with butt-cut-out pants that featured a tail. The former outfits revealed her whole pubic bone to the public.
Even in her artistic endeavors, Fox tends to visit what typically would be disturbing as an inspiration. One of her most noteworthy exhibitions included a series of paintings in which she applied her own blood on silk canvas. It’s easy to see that Fox does not give a f**k about what people say about her forms of expression. Whether it’s style or art, this head-turning muse continues to walk at the beat of her own drum.
