As a feminist icon’ (Megan Cencula/Shutterstock) The actor and writer, best known for playing Adam Sandler’s lover in ‘Uncut Gems’, has released a shocking new memoir. She speaks to Adam White about the drug addiction that nearly killed her, how kink saved her life, and what it’s like to spend six weeks dating the world’s most controversial superstar (a certain Mr Kanye West). ~/AAAHagA~/RgRnHzcJP0TnaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvYXJ0cy1lbnRlcnRhaW5tZW50L2Jvb2tzL2ZlYXR1cmVzL2p1bGlhLWZveC1pbnRlcnZpZXctYm9vay1iMjQzNzA1Mi5odG1sP2xpZD1qZmFxcWxkang0dXUmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWJyYXplJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1JbmR5QXJ0cyBOZXdzbGV0dGVyIDI4LTEwLTIzJnV0bV90ZXJtPUlORF9DdWx0dXJlX05ld3NsZXR0ZXJfQ0RQVwVzcGNldUIKZTwJsjxlMYtUkFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAMj Fox and Adam Sandlere in 'Uncut Gems' (Netflix) Read an extract from our Saturday Interview below… One respite from her experiences is sex work. At 18, in need of money and on probation after she is arrested for carrying a fake ID, Fox answers an ad for a Manhattan dominatrix dungeon. Her application asks for a full-body photo, a short bio, and a description of her most “sadistic sexual fantasy”. She gets the job. Being a dominatrix proves to be an unexpected training ground for her future acting career. “I transform into your mean mommy, an evil nun, the bitchy popular girl in high school,” she writes. She eventually tires of the dungeon, but today Fox has nothing but positive memories of her time there. “I don’t think I would be here if I didn’t work as a dominatrix,” she says. “The dungeon is the only place in the world that’s matriarchal – where the women rule and the men are lesser [beings]. There is an undercurrent of darkness, for sure… which sucks. But it has to be that way because we’re still existing under the actual patriarchy. It was one of the only places that made me immediately feel very safe, and kind of opened my eyes to how the world should be… how amazing it is when men are just serving women.” [Read the full interview here](~/AAAHagA~/RgRnHzcJP0TnaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvYXJ0cy1lbnRlcnRhaW5tZW50L2Jvb2tzL2ZlYXR1cmVzL2p1bGlhLWZveC1pbnRlcnZpZXctYm9vay1iMjQzNzA1Mi5odG1sP2xpZD1zcjVneDZhdzgyZjEmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWJyYXplJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1JbmR5QXJ0cyBOZXdzbGV0dGVyIDI4LTEwLTIzJnV0bV90ZXJtPUlORF9DdWx0dXJlX05ld3NsZXR0ZXJfQ0RQVwVzcGNldUIKZTwJsjxlMYtUkFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAMj) ~/AAAHagA~/RgRnHzcJP0TTaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvdHYvY3VsdHVyZS9iaWctYnJvdGhlci1pdHYtYmluZ2Utd2F0Y2gtYjI0MjUyODUuaHRtbD9saWQ9enR2b2tpOWh3Z2gzJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1icmF6ZSZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249SW5keUFydHMgTmV3c2xldHRlciAyOC0xMC0yMyZ1dG1fdGVybT1JTkRfQ3VsdHVyZV9OZXdzbGV0dGVyX0NEUFcFc3BjZXVCCmU8CbI8ZTGLVJBSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAADIw~~ [INDYBEST](~/AAAHagA~/RgRnHzcJP0SuaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvZXh0cmFzL2luZHliZXN0P2xpZD1udWQ4ZTIzdjk5YmgmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWJyYXplJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1JbmR5QXJ0cyBOZXdzbGV0dGVyIDI4LTEwLTIzJnV0bV90ZXJtPUlORF9DdWx0dXJlX05ld3NsZXR0ZXJfQ0RQVwVzcGNldUIKZTwJsjxlMYtUkFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAMj) / [BEST BUYS](~/AAAHagA~/RgRnHzcJP0S_aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvZXh0cmFzL2luZHliZXN0L291dGRvb3ItYWN0aXZpdHk_bGlkPW1kY3k4MmZnM2NseSZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9YnJhemUmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPUluZHlBcnRzIE5ld3NsZXR0ZXIgMjgtMTAtMjMmdXRtX3Rlcm09SU5EX0N1bHR1cmVfTmV3c2xldHRlcl9DRFBXBXNwY2V1QgplPAmyPGUxi1SQUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAyM~) [Books this autumn](~/AAAHagA~/RgRnHzcJP0TRaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvZXh0cmFzL2luZHliZXN0L2Jvb2tzL2Jlc3QtbmV3LWJvb2tzLWIyMTI1NjYzLmh0bWw_bGlkPTE2NjR4bXZ5anBwMSZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9YnJhemUmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPUluZHlBcnRzIE5ld3NsZXR0ZXIgMjgtMTAtMjMmdXRtX3Rlcm09SU5EX0N1bHR1cmVfTmV3c2xldHRlcl9DRFBXBXNwY2V1QgplPAmyPGUxi1SQUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAyM~) From Zadie Smith's The Fraud to Rebecca F Kuang's Yellowface or Colin Walsh's Kala, [these are the books to the dive into this autumn and winter](~/AAAHagA~/RgRnHzcJP0TRaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvZXh0cmFzL2luZHliZXN0L2Jvb2tzL2Jlc3QtbmV3LWJvb2tzLWIyMTI1NjYzLmh0bWw_bGlkPWhzMG9sNmFsNGM4byZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9YnJhemUmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPUluZHlBcnRzIE5ld3NsZXR0ZXIgMjgtMTAtMjMmdXRtX3Rlcm09SU5EX0N1bHR1cmVfTmV3c2xldHRlcl9DRFBXBXNwY2V1QgplPAmyPGUxi1SQUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAyM~).
