"It Was Giving Proud Boy": Julia Fox Says She Left An Upcoming Film After An Allegedly Racist Conversation With The Director

Julia Fox is getting real about why she departed a recent project — and, if true, it sounds pretty bad.

The multi-multi-*multi*-hyphenate (seriously, she's always doing something different these days) recently took to TikTok and revealed that she recently left an upcoming and unnamed film that she'd been attached to star in for five years.

"I’ve given creative contributions to it, emotional contributions to it, it was like my baby," she explained in the video. "I even brought on, like, a major, major A-list icon to play alongside me and everything was going great until this white man director came in.”

Julia then went on to claim that the director in question tried to kick her off of the film entirely, because "I had mentioned that I really thought it was important to have diversity in our lead cast."

“He said, ‘Why? White people have it really hard, too,'" she alleges. "'And plus, diversity casting is like using Black people as puppets.’”

Julia also alleged that the director went on to say that “‘White people don’t have a duty to cast Black people because so many Black projects happen and Asian projects and nobody gets mad that there’s no white people in the cast.’"

"He said, ‘Turn on Netflix, turn on any streamer, it’s all Black projects. Go to India, all the movies in India have all Indian people, nobody gets mad that they don’t have diversity.’”

“It was giving Proud Boy, it was giving ‘All Lives Matter,’ it was giving white supremacy, and at that point I was done arguing,” she recalled. “And I said, ‘You know what, I can’t work with you, I’m done.'”

Julia also made sure to clarify that she had "grown to love the people attached, the producers, the writers, the other actor in question, and I don’t want to blow up this whole thing for them.”

“I just can’t believe I’m having conversations like this in 2024," she concluded.
