Julia Fox Says Writing Her Upcoming Memoir Down the Drain ‘Swallowed My Life’: Felt ‘Cathartic’

Julia Fox has gone all out on her upcoming memoir Down the drain.

In a recent interview with The New York Times before the book’s release in October, the actress and first-time author, 33, recalled how she was rushing to finish the book for publisher Simon & Schuster.

“I had to turn it in in, like, three months or something. I thought I had six months,” she said.

“The book consumed my life. Everything became book, book, book. I didn’t go out,” Fox continued. “I didn’t take other jobs. I was doing it for myself. It felt really cathartic. It was really important to be honest and vulnerable.”

“Now I hope someone reads it and thinks, ‘She’s been through this, and look at her now. I can get over anything,'” she added to the newspaper.

Fox also shared that some people still ask her if she used a ghostwriter to write Down the drain. The actress previously emphasized that she “wrote every word in this book” while premiering the cover of the book on TikTok in March.

“I’ve had people like, ‘Off the record, between us, have you used a ghostwriter? Has anyone helped you?’ Fox said. “It’s a bit insulting. I wouldn’t make that statement if there was a ghostwriter in the world – it’s really stupid.”
