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).

“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

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 Brother Charged After Upper East Side Raid Uncovers Ghost Guns, Pills, Explosive Materials, & More

Julia Fox Says Her Date with Drake Involved a Private Jet and Chanel Bags

Christopher Fox, the brother of Julia Fox, Kanye West’s former lover, was arrested after an NYPD investigation team uncovered several illegal ghost guns and equipment for pressing narcotic pills during a raid. According to ABC7NY, the raid occurred on East 84th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues on the Upper East Side on Wednesday.

During the raid, Fox’s father was detained but not charged with any crimes.

Neighbors in the area called authorities about a tip of suspicious deliveries, leading to the discovery of illegal guns, pills, a pill press, pressure cookers, fentanyl, chloroform, heroin, propane, formaldehyde, and materials that make explosives.

Christopher Fox is now facing charges of 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 paraphernalia.

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.

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.

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.

Julia Fox Almost Killed Drug Dealer After Friend Overdosed

She dated Kanye West for about a month and now Julia Fox has become a household name. The actress wasn’t necessarily unknown before her whirlwind romance with Ye, but she certainly didn’t have the visibility she has now. Quickly, Fox has moved from a Hollywood starlet to a fashionista who is seen sitting front row and some of the world’s most coveted runway shows. Additionally, her podcast is a success, her interviews are often outlandish, and her social media reveals become trending topics.

This time, Julia Fox caught up with Elle magazine to once again detail her rise. She praises herself as a feminist who is vehemently pro-women, and prior comments she made during an interview arose. At the time, she was asked if she believed it was acceptable for women to kill men. “I think that if the man deserves it, yeah, why not? Men kill women all the time for no reason,” Fox answered.

With Elle, she was questioned about that response. Fox revealed that she had an encounter with a man she believed did deserve to lose his life at the hands of a woman. The actress claimed she had a friend who died of an overdose, so she tracked down the drug dealer who gave her the substance. Fox took her late friend’s gun, stalked the dealer’s neighborhood, and waited for an opportunity.

“I would literally, like, sit across the street in my car, put the seat all the way down,” Fox said. “And watch him through the little side mirror for hours, like coming and going.” She further added that she learned her friend died of a mix of several substances, not just what the dealer gave her. “I’m glad I didn’t kill him.”

Julia Fox Confirms Liposuction & Botox, Says She’s Done With Cosmetic Procedures…For Now

In the entertainment industry, plastic surgery has pretty much become the norm these days. It’s rare to find a famous figure who hasn’t undergone some sort of cosmetic procedure, from breast augmentations to BBLs. Some choose to keep this part of their life private, not openly discussing the treatments they receive. Others, though, are far more candid – including Julia Fox.

The Italian-American actress is often praised for her bodacious body, which she regularly adorns in controversial designer duds. Some try to pass off their sculpted stomach as dedication in the gym. Thankfully, others, like Fox, are willing to admit they’ve had some help. During a recent chat with ELLE, she specifically dished about her experience with liposuction and Botox.

The Forbidden Fruits host admits that she wouldn’t stop herself from getting either procedure again. For now, though, she’s choosing to embrace her natural body and the aging process. “I’m, like, saggy – like, things are not sitting the way they used to. But it’s like, I am not gonna do a damn thing about it,” she told the magazine.

As of late, Fox has been speaking more and more about rejecting the youthful standards society presses upon women. “Aging is fully in — like fully,” she told TikTok followers. “Dirty girl, ugly [and] not wearing clothes that fit your body type,” she went on, explaining other looks that she believes will trend soon.

Elsewhere on her page, the 33-year-old slammed the beauty industry’s endless “anti-aging” products, which she’s obviously tired of seeing. “I’m going to sue because I’m going to age regardless of if I put that f*cking $500 serum on my face. You all f*cking know it and we know it so let’s stop lying to ourselves.”

Though she tries her best to appease her fans by being radically transparent, there are still those who criticize Fox for virtually everything she does. At the end of January, the mother of one gave TikTok a tour of her New York City apartment, which was undeniably smaller and messier than most people were expecting.

Some were quick to praise Julia for keeping it real, but there were also those questioning why she’d live with her son somewhere so crammed when she obviously brings in more money as a celebrity. The actress had the perfect response for all her haters, which you can watch here. Make sure to check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Julia Fox Responds To Alexander Wang Backlash

Julia Fox has responded to the backlash she’s received for walking on the runway for Alexander Wang at New York Fashion Week. Multiple people have accused the disgraced designer of sexual assault over the years. Wang’s show was not officially listed as an event for New York Fashion Week. However, over 150 guests still attended his runway show, including Anna Wintour, Nikita Dragun, and Ava Max. Fox remarked in a TikTok on Wang’s page that her outfit made her feel “like a sexy siren, ready to suck souls.”

After receiving backlash online for her affiliation with Wang, Fox responded in a comment on TikTok. She admitted that she feels Wang has put in the work to better himself as a person. She wrote: “I love cancel culture but we do need to leave room for rehabilitation and for those who put in the work and heal and learn from their mistakes.”

Wang originally addressed the allegations back in 2021, promising to “set a better example” and “do better” going forward. He also met with 11 of his accusers. He wrote in his statement: “A number of individuals have come forward recently to raise claims against me regarding my past personal behavior. I support their right to come forward, and I’ve listened carefully to what they had to say. It was not easy for them to share their stories, and I regret acting in a way that caused them pain. While we disagree on some of the details of these personal interactions, I will set a better example and use my visibility and influence to encourage others to recognize harmful behaviors. Life is about learning and growth, and now that I know better, I will do better.”

Wang had his first fashion show post-allegations last year in Los Angeles. The new show is Wang’s first showing at New York Fashion Week in three years. In L.A., models Candice Swanepoel, Adriana Lima, and Alessandra Ambrósio walked for him.

Julia Fox Responds To NYC Apartment Tour Backlash

Thanks to social media, celebrities are able to share more intimate content with their fanbase than ever before. Those who live in luxurious abodes often wind up sharing their homes on the cover of Architectural Digest. However, Julia Fox chose to stay true to her brand by showing off her modest New York City apartment on TikTok.

Last week, the Italian starlet uploaded a video breaking down the layout of the home she shares with her 2-year-old son, Valentino. She reveals that she turned her living room into a bedroom, and converted her closet into a playspace for her beloved little boy.

@juliafox

Come with me on a very underwhelming apartment tour! also to clarify I have only ONE mouse and he’s cute 🥰

♬ original sound – Julia fox

Fox also didn’t hesitate to point out any of the mess and clutter surrounding her. There was a collection of shoe boxes in her kitchen, and a mouse responsible for picking up crumbs. While many praised the Uncut Gems actress for being “real” and “humble,” the TikTok obviously didn’t come without its share of criticism.

Yesterday (January 30), the Forbidden Fruits podcast host responded to a comment inquiring why she lives in such a modest apartment if her net worth is allegedly $30 million. “Even though I could have probably afforded a bigger place — probably, ’cause I am in New York after all — you know, it’s about having that sense of normalcy for Valentino,” she explained.

“I don’t want him to grow up and be, like, a f*cking prick,” she went on. Fox also noted that she grew up in a one-bedroom in Italy before moving to Manhattan at age six. Because she “grew up in the real world,” she hopes that her only child will have a similar experience.

The 32-year-old also addressed the rumours regarding her net worth. “First of all, I’m not worth $30 million. Not even close. And second of all, I don’t give a f*ck because I don’t need $30 million,” she told the camera. “Don’t believe everything you read on the internet. All those celebrity net worth [websites] are complete BS.”

In the past, some haters have accused Fox of spending thousands of dollars on her unique designer wardrobe. She later brought this up in the same video, explaining that the pieces she wears are often borrowed couture. Many also come from young designers on the rise.

When reflecting on the response to her NYC abode, she said, “I got a lot of mixed reviews. Most of it was really… supportive, and it really warms my heart that so many people could relate. I used to be, like, an aesthetic queen and want my space curated perfectly a certain way, but then I realized there’s more to life. I don’t give a f*ck, OK?”
