Julia Fox Says Her Spicy Autobiography ‘Down The Drain’ Is Being Developed As A Series By Joey Soloway

Fox stopped by with the cast of Steven Soderbergh’s spooky house movie Presence, which is having its world premiere tonight at the Library Theatre in Park City.
Down the Drain, which hit store shelves in October, follows Fox’s childhood with volatile parents between Italy and New York City; her moments with an abusive, drug-dealing boyfriend who continued to torment her from within Rikers Island; her own trips to jail as well as to a psychiatric hospital; her work as a dominatrix that led to a complicated entanglement with a sugar daddy; a heroin habit that led to New Orleans trap houses and that she would kick only after the fatal overdose of her best friend; her own near-lethal overdoses and the deaths of still more friends from drugs and suicide; and her trials as a single parent striving to support her young son among other interludes which were part of her ascent as a home-grown fashion designer and star of the Adam Sandler-starring cult noir thriller Uncut Gems.
