Julia Fox talks about her new memoir

Julia Fox’s new memoir, “Down the Drain,” “adds up to a story of a woman who’s damaged and tender, protective and unpredictable, a self-identified freak,” @jiatolentino writes. Read her conversation with the multi-hyphenate It Girl. https://t.co/rxrp4Knn2S

• Considered hiring a ghostwriter but ended up doing it all herself
• Her editor at Simon & Schuster was like “Great work” on the first draft and gave her no notes. She got annoyed and re-edited it more
• She enjoys motherhood even though she suffered from post-partum depression. Doesn’t have a nanny and mostly tried to raise her son by herself
• She and Jia Tolentino talk about raising their kids upper middle-class when they were raised poorer and how they don’t want their kids to struggle but also mourn the lack of insight they will have (OP note: uhhh weren’t Jia’s parents involved in human trafficking?)
• Has lost a lot of friends to drugs and says she used to laugh all the time and only laughs once a year now
• The past 2 years she has been celibate, says she is focusing on looking a way women would appreciate but men would find grotesque (OP note: same girl, same)
• Believes in God and still prays
