Down the Drain

She even writes about a moment when they go to the theater to see Jeremy O. Harris’s Slave Play. Once the show is over, and before they head out to dinner, Fox receives a text from her friend to meet her in the bathroom, where she finds a slew of clothes and different outfit options organized by West. She writes: “I’m happy to see her but it’s a little strange he didn’t just tell me he didn’t like my original outfit. Without protest, I slip into the garments. The artist is left speechless as I step out of the bathroom, effortlessly transitioning into my new role as the ultimate fashion girlie. His photographer snaps photos of me all night long at the artist’s encouragement. A part of me kind of feels like a show monkey, but I’ve been performing my whole life, so what’s the big deal?” At first, it sounds like life in the artist’s orbit was dizzying and exciting. Fox says in her book that the artist told her he wanted to “appoint a team” to work on her wardrobe. In 2019, a close friend of Fox's died of a fentanyl overdose. Fox has spoken about how her friend's death influenced her to remain sober.

Fox had a baby with Peter Artemiev, a pilot she met at the Uncut Gems wrap party, married two months later, and divorced 18 months after that. She made a movie with Steven Soderbergh and Benicio del Toro called No Sudden Move (2021). As her fame grew, so it appeared to Fox, at times, that she had merely advanced to attracting a different kind of abusive man. In late 2021, a message reached her via a friend that a “famous artist” had been asking after her. This was West (who has changed his name to Ye), and a phone call between them was arranged. Over subsequent days, he called her multiple times and they talked for hours, or rather, in Fox’s account, “he talks for hours and I mostly listen”. She writes: “He loves my ideas and thinks I’m really smart.” When he invited Fox to meet him in Miami for New Year’s Eve, she politely declined – her son wasn’t yet a year old – so Ye chartered a private jet. She relented, taking her friends along with her. Within five days, he had put her friends on the payroll as stylists and asked if she wanted to take the “relationship” public.

Fox was born in Italy and later moved to New York City with her dad while her mom, brother, and grandfather stayed in Europe. The move to America came with financial strife and she says that her family relied on a small pension to get by, sometimes having to resort to drastic measures to make ends meet. Fox recalls that when they ran out of candy at home, she would drink cough syrup instead. She adds: “At night, I lie in bed and cry. I muffle the noise with my stuffed animals because I don’t want him to wake up. I’m trying my hardest to be a big girl, but I really miss my mom and my brother. And I especially miss the comfort of my grandpa.” She began doing drugs at a very young age and has overdosed a handful of times.

I can’t believe this is my life.” A text from the artist arrives shortly after, followed by dozens of phone calls,” she recalls in her memoir. “We talk for hours.
