‘I Cried Into the Nape of Her Neck’

Julia Fox has a message for those who “talk shit” about her: Beyoncé loves her.

In fact, as Fox recalled in a TikTok video shared Wednesday (March 18), the 35-time Grammy winner said so herself when the two ran into each other at an Oscars party this past weekend. The party in question, per Fox, took place at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, a legendary Hollywood hotspot that will soon mark its 100th anniversary.

On this particular night, Fox, recently seen in the Charli xcx mockumentary The Moment, was admittedly “tired” due to the late hour but decided to push through anyway. This decision was swiftly rewarded.

“I have debated sharing it because it’s one of those things that is so crazy that if you try to tell people about it, they’ll just think you’re crazy and not believe you,” Fox told her followers on Wednesday. “But I just have to talk about it because I have a feeling it’s gonna be one of those defining moments of my life that every time I feel bad about myself, I’m gonna remember.”

At around 2:00 a.m. local time, Fox recalled, she and her group were walking through the back of the Chateau when a security guard approached and requested that they “step aside” for reasons that weren’t immediately made clear. Fox said she and her friends obliged, only realizing that the commotion was indeed Beyoncé-caused when recognizing her hair.

“It was Beyoncé,” the Uncut Gems scene-stealer said. “So she walks by, I’m like, already [my] hands are sweating, palpitations. And then she stops right in front of me. We lock eyes, and she goes, ‘It’s you.’ And I was like, ’It’s you!’ And then I’m, like, freaking out. I kind of black out during this. My friends told me that I was having kind of a semi-panic attack and that I was like, ‘Is this real? Is this really happening? Is this real?’ Like, I kept asking them if it was real or if it was, like, an apparition. And then she said, ‘I love you. Can I get a hug?’ And I gave her a hug, and then I cried into the nape of her neck.”

At one point, Fox said, Tina Knowles, mother to Beyoncé and Solange, snapped a photo of the two of them together.

“Anyway, we went home, talked about it the whole night. Woke up in the morning, kept talking about it,” Fox added. “Beyoncé said she loved me, and she asked me for a hug, you guys. So all you people on this app that love to talk about me and talk shit about me, like, I don’t care because Beyoncé loves me and asked me for a hug. Anyway, I just wanted to share this story because it’s the coolest thing that ever happened to me.”

Earlier this month, Fox was on hand in Austin for the SXSW premiere of PERFECT, a new film from Millicent Hailes in which she stars alongside Ashely Moore. In August, she’ll be seen in Will Gluck’s One Night Only, also featuring Molly Ringwald and Maya Hawke.

Beyoncé, meanwhile, is speculated to be nearing her Act III era.
