The Actress and Model is Being Praised for Standing Up Against Alleged Racism from Director
In a bold move, Julia Fox is earning praise for her principled stand against an allegedly racist director, a decision that led her to quit a high-profile project involving a major A-list icon.
Fox recently revealed her departure from the project, citing the director’s troubling views on diversity. In a TikTok video, she shared the shocking details, explaining that she had been dedicated to the project for five years, contributing both creatively and emotionally.
The controversy arose when Fox suggested the importance of diversity in the lead cast. According to Fox, the unnamed director responded with alarming comments, questioning the need for diversity. She recounted him saying, “White people have it really hard, too. And plus, diversity casting is like using black people as puppets. 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.”
Fox countered by highlighting that “white people have been the default” for a long time, but the director remained unyielding in his stance.
Just yesterday, Fox updated her followers on TikTok about the incident involving the “failed actor who turned director.” While she has not disclosed his identity to protect others involved in the project, her decision to leave has been widely supported by fans who applaud her for standing up for her beliefs and demonstrating true allyship.
Julia’s dedication to the project spanned over five years, and she had been involved longer than the director in question. Despite her significant contributions, she chose to walk away due to the director’s racist views.
Fans have flooded the comments, praising her courage and integrity. What are your thoughts, Xtralites? Would you have made the same decision if you were in Julia’s shoes?
