Love her or hate her, Julia Fox apparently wants to keep it real.
The 32-year-old “Uncut Gems” star and fashion designer defended living in her recently revealed “tiny” mice-infested New York City apartment after a fan referenced her rumored net worth of $30 million.

Fox then proclaimed that she doesn’t want her child to be spoiled by a pampered lifestyle.
“I don’t want him to grow up and be, like, a f–king prick, you know what I mean? I want him to be in touch with the f–king real world because I grew up in the real world, believe…
