She also admitted to Rolling Stone in a 2020 interview that she stole clothes to try and emmulate the wealthy women she saw around Manhattan, eventually getting arrested for shoplifting at Bloomingdale's.
'You're seeing this really extravagant display of wealth, and you're trying to look like that, but you have to do it by stealing.' At 15 she ran away with her drug-dealer boyfriend but because of the free spirited lifestyle her father allowed her, no one realised she was missing for three weeks.
In her late teens she worked as a dominatrix, earning money and building her confidence while still in high school. She dabbled in art and started a knitwear business before setting her heart on acting.

She landed her first acting role in Adam Sandler's 2019 Netflix hit Uncut Gems, with the part of Sandler's girlfriend Julia written for her.
She had struck up a friendship via social media with the filmmakers Josh and Benny Safdie, who pushed for her to get the role even after producers Martin Scorsese and Scott Rudin argued for a bigger name.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, Julia explained how 'Josh would hit me up every few months and ask me for suggestions on the character. Of course, I molded her to be what I wanted her to be, which conveniently was also what Josh wanted her to be.'
Before acting she dabbled in filmmaking, photography and writing, but Julia has insisted that she always knew she wanted to be in the film industry, 'and I'm not one to wait for things to be handed to me.'

Fox said that it was 'traumatic' for her to review the screenshots, videos and photos related to her claims about Artemiev, including a clip in which he was calling her names, according to Page Six.
'I can't even do it anymore,' said Fox, who welcomed son Valentino with Artemiev in February of 2021. 'I just don't want my son f***ed up cuz he feels like his dad was absent or loved alcohol and partying more than him ... this man left me with a 5 month old and a dog and a home and ALL THE BILLS. It's wrong!!! It's not fair!!!'
In a separate post, a follower told Fox that her acting career could suffer amid the public vitriol. She said in response, 'This is MY SON'S LIFE we are talking about - I don't give a f*** about my 'acting career.'''
She added: 'My son loves his dad. I've accepted that his Dad refuses to present and I've made peace with it but I'm sure as s*** gonna work the public.'

He continued: 'Out of respect for her privacy and to protect our child, I will not comment further.'
