Julia Fox quits project with 'major A-list icon' over director's racism
Julia Fox claims she quit a project with a “major A-list icon” over a “white man” director’s alleged racism during a conversation about diversity.
“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.”The “Uncut Gems” actress claimed that the “white man” director — whom she did not name — attempted to kick her off the project after she brought up wanting to have diversity in the cast.Fox, 34, claimed that the director — whom she did not name — attempted to kick her off the project after he was only there for “a week.
The “Uncut Gems” actress claimed the director told her to “‘turn on Netflix, turn on any streamers, it’s all black projects. Go to India, all the moves in India have all Indian people. Nobody gets mad that they don’t have diversity.'”Fox claimed the man said 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.
The director’s comments did not sit well with Fox, who compared the unknown male to a member of a neo-fascist militant organization.“It was giving Proud Boy, it was giving All Lives Matter, it was giving white supremacy, and at that point, I was done arguing,” Fox explained.“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 explained.
