Internet icon Julia Fox has hit out at trolls who roasted her TikTok apartment tour.
The 33-year-old previously took to the video-sharing app last week to give her 1.7 million followers a tour of the New York City apartment she shares with her young son Valentino. "Come with me on a very underwhelming apartment tour!" she captioned the clip.
With 10.5 million views and 1.2 million likes, the three-minute video proves that, while she is a well-known celebrity and cultural icon, Fox is really just like everyone else.
And she is. Really. In fact, she has a bed in the living room, shoe boxes piled high in her kitchen, and even has a mice problem (though, she clarified in the caption that it's only ONE mouse).
"'I never thought in a million years I would do this, but I believe in maximum transparency, and so I'm gonna give you guys an apartment tour. I know I'm going to get roasted [...] Hopefully, maybe someone can watch this and say, Okay, maybe I'm not doing so bad," the Uncut Gems actress says in the video.
Panning the camera to the mountain of shoeboxes in her kitchen, she adds: "I also have shoe boxes in the kitchen, which is very common for New Yorkers [...] Don't judge me…I know it's really messy.
"For me personally I don't like excessive displays of wealth, they make me feel icky. Especially people who have really big houses. It's just really wasteful when there’s so many homeless people in this country and I’m not really like that," Fox explains in the video.
Unsurprisingly, some trolls took to the comments section to roast Fox's apartment. In true Fox fashion, she took the time to post a reply video going into more detail about her apartment and lifestyle.
"I really wasn't expecting my apartment tour to go so viral, people are really freaking out over it. It's really just not that deep. This just happens to be the apartment that I took my son home from the hospital. So it's his home," she says.
"It really is Valentino's apartment. It's like a sentimental thing [...] it's about having that sense of normalcy," Fox added.
She then addresses claims from TikTok users that she's worth $30 million, saying: "I'm not worth 30 million dollars, not even close. I don't need 30 million dollars; what does one person need 30 million dollars for? I've survived on a lot less and I'm doing just fine."
Fans of the star raced to the comments section to praise Fox, with one person writing: "Julia fox is more relatable than the average Instagram influencer or TikToker lol."
"SHES SO REAL, LOVE HER," someone else added.
