Julia Fox is not & has ‘never’ taken Ozempic: ‘I would never do that’

Julia Fox doesn’t really look like a “model” to me, but I’m from a different era, and I genuinely enjoy the fact that some fashion designers are using more average/normal-looking women in their fashion shows. I’m not saying Julia isn’t striking or thin – she’s both. But she just doesn’t have that tall, gaunt look of most models. Now, I have no doubt that Julia has tweaked her face and body over the years, but would she actually try Ozempic to look more model-y? According to Julia, no, she would never.

Julia Fox star recently sat down with ET’s Denny Directo on the set of her video podcast Forbidden Fruits — where they were joined by Fox’s co-host Niki Takesh — and they opened up about a few recent news items that have dominated the headlines for Fox.

Starting, of course with her “very underwhelming” apartment tour that raised quite a few eyebrows from followers online. While many fans felt the tour was relatable, others criticized her and accused her of either pretending to be modest or for having mice in her apartment.

“I feel like a lot of people outed themselves for never having been to New York when the outrage about the mouse happened, because it’s like, everybody has mice here!” Fox explained. “It’s when you have rats that you need to regulate. [That’s a] very important distinction. When I was little, I used to have so much fun catching them and releasing them… But now, it’s like, I’m tired and, like, do I wanna go catch a mouse after a 16-hour day? No, I’m just gonna convince myself that the mouse is a pet.”

Fox also set the record straight when it came to online rumors that claim she’s been taking weight-loss drugs, including a popular diabetes medicine that has been used by many for its proven weight-loss capabilities.

“All these people are coming for me saying that I take the weight loss things… people are saying that I’m taking Ozempic or whatever it’s called,” Fox said. “I’m not and I’ve never have… I would never do that. There are diabetics that need it.”

I believe her about Ozempic? I don’t think she has that “suddenly super-thin” look which is becoming all-too-common. Julia looks like she’s on a much more old-school diet of cigarettes and diet soda. Plus, some of you have pointed out that it appears she has some liposuction scars? Well, whatever she’s doing, she looks fine. She’s already thin! She already has an interesting look! She’s already a decent model! As for the mice vs. rats discourse… I think most people don’t distinguish between rodents, especially when they have little kids? That honestly freaked me out a little bit about her home tour, that she normalized having mice in the apartment and doing nothing about it.

    Rodents in your apartment are part of living in a city where residences are next to commercial businesses – not like cities where everyone goes home to the suburbs after business hours. I know from living in both NY and Boston, if you’re in an older building with radiators and/or cracks between the walls and floors, you’re bound to have mice once in a while. But my sainted cat Mickey took care of that for me.

    Last week they closed down a Korean restaurant in NYC, because it served a rat in a bowl of soup.
    My niece came to NYC to work last month for 3 weeks, and every conversation was about rats, she was going crazy.

    • Eurydice says:

      Sure, it’s a fact of life. Back when Boston had the “Big Dig,” a major project that rerouted I-93 and put it underground, they hired a NY rat consultant to figure out what to do when all the rats’ nests were disturbed.

    EVERY apartment building in NYC is going to have rodents and cockroaches from time to time. And I do mean EVERY one, up to and including all those old fancy doorman buildings around Central Park. Every one of those buildings that contain the ultra rich has at least one filthy rich elderly hoarder who keeps their place disgusting and you will never fully eradicate the infestation inside the building, though you can try really hard. And then there are all the infestations coming from outside and around and underneath the building nonstop. The sewers and pipes are all full of rodents and cockroaches and they can move in both directions in those.

    The only way you’ll be free of it is in a brand new building where nothing has had the chance to take hold yet. That doesn’t last long. OR one of those small townhouses in the Village where you’re super rich, you’re the only one living there, and you can be non-stop militant about keeping everything out.

    I feel like the only people freaking out about the mice were those who have never lived in a city where the housing stock is all or mostly apartment buildings, like NYC, Moscow, Tokyo, etc. For those who do, and have, this is just the way it is.

      Lol, never mind the royal family, I feel this is a subject near and dear to me. When I was in college, I lived across the hall from an elderly professor and his wife – every day, there was a parade of cockroaches coming out into the hall from under their door. Then the city dug up the main street in front to lay down cable lines and every dorm, apartment, college building, even the college president’s house, was infested with mice.

    • BeanieBean says:

      Mice live pretty much everywhere–cities, small towns, rural areas, you name it. I think I’ve had a mouse incident pretty much everywhere I’ve lived, and I’ve moved around quite a lot. It’s not a comment on anyone’s housekeeping skills, or lack thereof, it’s just part of living in the world. There will be mice.

    She’s been open about her liposuction, which I really appreciate.

    The reality is that people don’t have abs like that all the time unless there’s been an intervention.

    • zoraneale says:

      Could we spin drugs as an intervention? Remember when she and Kanye were high as kites together?

    “There are diabetics that need it”

    yes, because Ozempic is for diabetes. Wegovy is the brand name for the version of semaglutide marketed for weight loss, though no one seems to understand that. Wegovy is a drug for the treatment of clinical obesity. It is literally meant to treat obesity. Something she doesn’t have, obviously, but maybe if people understood that, they’d stop fucking shaming people who need treatment for a disease.

    Sorry. This subject gets me riled up as someone who has tried *everything* to lose weight, including other clinical intervention. But PCOS makes it extra hard, so. Heaven forbid we take drugs to treat a chronic disease that causes other chronic diseases. Celebrities taking this drug to lose a few pounds are ruining this for everyone. Even pharmacists are shaming patients now, despite the fact that the drug is *literally approved to treat obesity*

  6. Fabiola says:

    She looks a lot skinnier compared to how she’s used to look when she first started dating Kanye so to me it doesn’t seem crazy s that she may have taken something to lose weight or she may just be a coke head.

    • SAS says:

      She’s stated she’s had liposuction 1-2 times from memory and maybe some of that cool-sculpt type treatments. I assume she’s on somewhat of a starvation diet to maintain that particular body shape after lipo but I believe her about the Ozempic.

  7. jgerber says:

    I like her and I believe her. Hell, I think she’s more real than Kim and if Kanye was her step-up, so be it. I think she’s very cool and I’d love to have a body like hers.
