Julia Fox Comes Out as a Lesbian: ‘So Sorry, Boys’
Julia Fox is ready to open up to the public about her sexuality.
In a post on her TikTok Monday (July 8), the actress revealed that she identifies as a lesbian. Fox stitched a video from comedian Emily Gracin, who was talking about seeing “a lesbian with her boyfriend” and thinking to herself, “Aw, you hate that man! You literally hate him!”
Fox then popped on camera while walking down the street, saying that she understood exactly what Gracin meant. “Hey, that was me,” she said. “I was that lesbian. So sorry, boys, won’t happen again.”
This isn’t the first time Fox has spoken up about LGBTQ+ issues. In a cover story with Gay Times back in October 2023, the actress voiced her unequivocal support for the trans community. “As a cis woman, I feel like it’s absolutely my duty to empower and uplift trans voices and try to get people to understand that, trans, non binary or queer, at the end of the day, we are all human,” she said at the time. “It’s a cause that’s very near and dear to my heart, my best friend in the world [model Richie Shazam] is a trans woman and I was by her side during the transition.”
Fox first rose to prominence after her debut feature film performance in the 2019’s Uncut Gems, which earned her critical acclaim and nominations at multiple critics’ awards around the country. In January 2022, Fox confirmed that she was dating rap icon Ye (formerly known as Kanye West); the two eventually split up the following month.
Most recently, Fox appeared as a DJ at LadyLand 2024, an annual LGBTQ+ music festival in Brooklyn hosted by nightlife curator Ladyfag. Performing a brief, three-song set at the festival’s second night (June 29), Fox closed out her performance with a rendition of her debut electronic single “Down the Drain.”
