ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here: oxford-union.org/supportus

I think Kanye west is the least interesting thing about her if u have actually read the book

[@corinne4490]

this is so true

[@Flowersforeveryonee]

For sure

[@tls4022]

Not gonna lie, I really pre-judged Miss Fox before. But the more I listen to her, she is so intelligent, real, honest and true. She's not afraid to speak up for women and I truly admire that about her. Young women need more role models like her in order to challenge the concerning standards we have on us in this day and age. Her message is loud and true: to be our authentic selves and not let them win.

[@ChristinaSimpson]

Nice job Oxford. A truly interesting person given a platform and invited exchange ideas with brilliant students 👏

[@jessiejoseph1093]

They were hanging on her every word.

[@hermes1529]

You must be joking I hope 🙏

[@WeewaaMachine]

Great interview. Her authenticity and candour never cease to impress me. Look how far she has come, with many odds stacked against her she stands here today firmly in her power, unapologetically so. She breathes so much love and empowerment after everything she has been through. It’s inspiring. There’s lots of hate and a real lack of any nuance in the comments, but it’s pretty boring to see people express their disdain and disregard her influence on pop culture and her clear talents as a writer, actress, artist etc because of her perceived media persona.

[@Alexxies]

Julia is a true redemption story. Some of us poor girls had to fake it til we made it and she sho did !!!!

[@kikianellaesther8118]

Say what you will. I appreciate an honest person. I personally like her. I think she is funny and apparently her memoir is very interesting. She got this far. Did you?

[@floraszabo7557]

She said "Who knows, I might come out with a mixtape..." then she just debuted a few weeks ago her first mixtape at Charli XCX's Boiler Room. She is such an icon

[@malevich92]

I could listen to her talk for hours. Loved her book. She’s so captivating

[@mindy561]

Good job to those who asked questions! It is a nerve wracking thing to do

[@AA-qb7ni]

People have this perception she's ditzy and weird but when you actually listen to her talk she's very honest and interesting to listen to.

[@GiannaMarie212]

It’s so crushing to hear her say that she doesn’t even really know if any men think of sex spiritually 💔 …also I was expecting this to be way more cringe but, alas, she had some good points.

[@ryanalexander3088]

America

[@GiannaMarie212]

@@ryanalexander3088 is that supposed to imply something, as if you can sum up an entire country with solely a YT comment? If you want to contest my viewpoint, I welcome that. I’m not entirely convinced or awed by anything she said, but it did exceed my expectations (which were, admittedly, extremely low).

[@thehowtogirlpodcast]

I know, I thought that same thought. I was thinking "Aw, I hope she gets to experience this type of connection one day."

[@emiliafereday1444]

Oxford this is amazing !!! We need women like Julia to pave the way

[@Alexxies]

Comments did not pass!!! You all feed into this and you don’t even know it. She’s a huge representative for us grimy girls who lived in small apartments and fought for our individuality and hated the “clean” girls who had

[@pearlgirl5643]

What’s a “grimy” or “clean” girl?

[@MISSMADISONMEDIA]

what are you saying lmao

[@SlapSister]

Imagine higher education being accessible to all. My heart aches when i see students in prestigious universities.

[@nikaramik3087]

I could listen to her for hours ! Thanks for inviting her, her biography is amazing :)

[@emilycordero7095]

This was healing to hear

[@claraclonk]

a lot of comments are dismissing julia super quickly. i'd bet they didn't listen to a single response from her. it's a massive shame seeing someone so vocal, experienced and clever being looked over just because she doesn't fit into archaic standards of intelligence. she's great ❤❤

[@Choompam]

oh my god, she went to England

[@GenericHomo]

She finally met natural blonds and redeemed herself with the blond community.

[@OBecs]

People in the comments are really showing their upper/middle class bias right now.

It's all they know

She’s a masterpiece

Uncut gems is one of her fav films… I couldn’t even get past like 30 min 😂

[@tiwiogunye]

The outfit is killing me 😭

[@TheJonvazgar]

sex can be a commodity and intimacy is scared.

[@Euphlor]

Love that outfit!

[@michellemazzyy]

I love her ❤

[@Andreasmundo]

if you are chewing gum I need a piece.

[@zunamiii]

I love Julie Fox but chewing gum come one ;)

[@jcb728]

Gum chewing

[@patrickchoque7720]

I would ask her what it was like being Josh Safdie’s muse for Uncut Gems

[@mjazzl]

she's quite the intellectual!!! who knew

[@rebekahchristelcromwell]

she's a goddess

[@Daydreamerr13]

Talk about ⚪️ privilege LOL. I love Julia down but I cannot 😂

[@amazingdany]

She's a trip!

Hi, Julia. How do i load a syringe?

It wasn't grainy. You need translation for C2 English.

Right now women are killing it ❤

LMAO!!! Just say what you mean dude😅

big up to the woman who pushed about pornography>>>>>

"Wait, can you repeat that, it was super grainy - it was the mic not you..."😂 Damn right it wasn't the questioner, but guess what, it wasn't the mic either....

Gum chewing, really?

Wtf did Julia Fox get an invite for 😂

And yet here you are

I guess you don’t have a bookstore in your city

tbh it’s just the student union so it’s like people can come listen in their lunch break if they want

she wrote a book bozo

Chewing gum though 😑

Can I ask why?

[@delilahsimmons1842]

There's plenty, maybe you should expand the kind of media you consume so you can see them?

[@Bellatrys]

Conversations without supporting data are rather intellictually depressing.

[@SarahBledsoeTV]

She’s a memoirist though so like what do you expect?

[@user-wx5qe5qn9m]

why?

[@kimberlybrown9628]

she does art and acting. what does she need data for?

[@delilahsimmons1842]

This isn't a debate, why would she need to cite sources?

[@rhysandra]

Wow. What is happening to our education system?

[@Diametricallyopposed00]

Is there anything to be gained by this narrative? Are my eyes deceiving me, am I on the wrong channel? Is this who the kids are lookup to these days?

[@holly_mckee]

If this is your view I encourage you to read her book, it might change your mind!

[@perry5509]

I don't see these teenagers being inspired by them bringing some random MP to give a talk... So yes, this is who the kids are looking up to these days, same as every other generation? Teenagers always have and always will look up to 'cool' people close to their own age. Marilyn Monroe actually has a similar candid energy in her interviews.

[@nali5696]

what’s wrong with looking up to a imperfect human being? not everyone is meant to be scientists or engineers some are into creative work and fields what’s so wrong with that?

[@delilahsimmons1842]

Ben Shapiro and Gabbie Hanna have spoken at the Oxford Union before and Julia Fox is where you draw the line? 😭

[@pooperscooper002]

that porn response.. feel bad for someone who can speak so much and understand so little

[@augustusnalley8745]

I was under the impression the content on this channel was a bit more substantive. And by that I mean not given to frivolous banality. Or is showcasing someone so utterly lacking in substance the point, as a cautionary example? If so, bravo.

[@Diametricallyopposed00]

AMEN. I was absolutely shocked to see this. How far we have all fallen. I have absolutely no interest in this interview and will move on.

FYI being a muse is about the same as being a porn star as far as accomplishments go. But porn stars have more skill.

“There was so many times when my past was weaponised against me so I really had to take control of the narrative, and own it. In doing so, i disarmed them… so what are you gonna do now?” POWERFUL🫶🏼
