Julia Fox called us from bed this afternoon and in a breathless whisper commanded our attention. Itâs easy to forget that she was once a dominatrix until she has you on the phone bending to her will.Â
JULIA FOX: I think Iâm going to call you about my date nights weekly, maybe bi-weekly. How does that sound?Â
INTERVIEW: Good.Â
FOX: Okay. Iâll send pictures, Iâll tell you stories. And youâll publish them.Â
INTERVIEW: Alright.Â
FOX: Letâs call it âThis Week in Fox News.â
INTERVIEW: Youâre insane.Â
FOX: You love it.Â
INTERVIEW: Where are you right now?Â
FOX: L.A.Â
INTERVIEW: What are you wearing today?Â
FOX: Right now Iâm fully naked. I just got back to mine, and Iâm wearing yesterdayâs makeup. The earrings are Balenciaga. [Laughs]
INTERVIEW: Are you wearing any perfume, Julia?
FOX: No, I havenât worn perfume in such a long time. Iâm all about natural pheromones.
INTERVIEW: Tell us about your night on Wednesday.
FOX: Delilah. I had a date with Madonna, but obviously I invited Ye because they know each other, they work together, and they respect each other as artists. Then Floyd Mayweather, Antonio Brown, and a bunch of other people showed up. So obviously we had to do a photo shoot.
INTERVIEW: Obviously. Who made your Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! outfit?
FOX: That was custom. My stylists Peri Rosenzweig and Briana Andalore designed it with Yeâs direction. They understood the assignment and they turned me out.
INTERVIEW: Russ Meyerâs Vixen. Have you ever seen the movie?
FOX: Yeah, when I was like 16.Â
INTERVIEW: What did you eat at Delilah?
FOX: I kept getting up, and every time I came back, what I ordered became something else. I ended up eating a Caesar salad.
INTERVIEW: Were you obsessed?
FOX: I wasnât obsessed with the Caesar salad. How could you be obsessed with a Caesar salad when youâre sitting next to fucking Madonna?
INTERVIEW: Howâs the relationship with Ye evolving?
FOX: You know, Iâm so used to being fucked over in relationships, so I keep waiting for him to disappoint me, because he makes very grandiose promises, and itâs like, âHow could he ever pull it off with all the other things he has going on?â But he always does. Last night was a testament to that.
INTERVIEW: Do you feel like youâre a muse?
FOX: Iâve always been someoneâs muse.
INTERVIEW: What does being a muse mean to you?
FOX: Youâre either born a muse, or youâre not.Â
INTERVIEW: What do you see as your destiny right now?
FOX: Right now, the vibes Iâm getting are very much about tolerance, kindness, and love. Iâm canceling cancel culture and putting an end to this black-and-white thinking. People shouldnât be defined by their darkest moment. As humans, we commit violence to each other, we police each other. Weâve created such a hostile environment, especially on the internet. Thatâs why I donât read the headlines.Â
INTERVIEW: You donât read. Do you not read the comments?
FOX: No. And thatâs why I feel like Iâm a really good candidate for this position, because a lot of people in my shoes would probably be reading the comments and freaking out. Iâm not trying to have everybody love me, Iâm just trying to connect with people that are like-minded.
INTERVIEW: So, what was last night like?
FOX: I didnât really know what was going on. I was just given an address, and it was to this enormous futuristic warehouse in downtown L.A. We went inside, through this tunnel, into a huge room with dim lights. Ye loves to play with light and darkness. He decided to put on Zola, and I was like, âThereâs no way that everyoneâs going to just stop and watch the movie.â Thirty seconds in, everyone there stopped talking and started watching, yelling commentary, and laughing. Dave Chappelle fucking loved it. It was such a special moment, to include Zola in our narrative.
INTERVIEW: What does Zola mean for your narrative?
FOX: I think it was a moment that he felt really inspired by something that I had shown him. We watched Zola the second time we hung out. From Zola, it was Slave Play in, New York, and now weâre here.Â
INTERVIEW: Who was there last night?
FOX: Dave Chappelle, Marilyn Manson, Naomi Campbell, the actor from the new Batman, Camâron, Jack Donoghue from Salem, Andrew Richardson from Richardson magazine, Richie Shazam, all my friends came. Richie ate sashimi with Marilyn Manson and they had a really nice heart-to-heart.
INTERVIEW: What were you wearing?
FOX: I was wearing Diesel, and a Balenciaga bag and boots. The moto pants are Diesel and the top is Margiela.Â
INTERVIEW: What did you do after the movie?
FOX: There was a music video shoot, a Pusha T video shoot. Ye did his thing because heâs in the song with Pusha. Then we went back to the hotel and the paparazzi have been following me ever since.
INTERVIEW: If you had to describe the paparazzi as an animal or a creature, how would you describe them?
FOX: Theyâre like parasites, or some sort of virus you catch.Â
INTERVIEW: What do you and Ye talk about when youâre alone?
FOX: Ideas. Thatâs whatâs so exciting about being in the vicinity of someone whoâs operating at the level that he is. These seemingly crazy ideas, he can make them come to life.Â
Â
INTERVIEW: Whatâs the wildest thing heâs dreamed up that youâve seen come to life between you two?
FOX: My transformation. After meeting him, a couple days later, all my shit was in boxes, gone. It was so cathartic. It wasnât like I was just packing up my old clothes, it was like I was packing up my old life. I was like making that very conscious decision to really put everything in the box. To let go of the past.
INTERVIEW: Weâre learning on Fox News that you boxed your life up and youâre in Ye world now?
FOX: Yeah, letâs be honest. Why not?
INTERVIEW: Thatâs what we do on Fox News.
FOX: Iâm really surrendering. For someone like me whoâs such a control freak and always so used to taking care of myself, to just let go and be taken care of is foreign at this point in life. Iâve been the primary caretaker of everyone for so long, so itâs a new sensation, but honestly, I think I deserve it. Even a month ago, I was so fucking likeâŚnot getting along with my sonâs father, or not having help. It was just me alone. I was so tired and everything was work. I just remember being like, âI know that thereâs going to be a reward for this, like this is so fucking miserable that I know that I know something good will come of this if I just hang in there.â And then a few days later there I am with Ye, and it was the most instant natural organic attraction and connection. I just feel really safe with him. Itâs a redemption story.
