Julia Fox, a former Kanye West girlfriend, has reacted to the news that her father and brother were arrested on drug and weapons charges.
Her brother and father were arrested by authorities in New York City on Wednesday, March 8. During the raid, officers discovered cocaine, heroin, and other illegal narcotics in their flat.
The model was out of town at the time of the raid and is not thought to have been aware of her family’s alleged offenses.
According to Page Six, Fox’s acquaintances say she was taken aback by the arrest, since neither Christopher nor their father, Thomas, have a criminal record.
According to PageSix, Fox, 33, considers her brother Chris to be “bright,” but adds that “although Julia has found a creative path after a rough childhood, he’s battled to trust in himself enough to put his ability to use.”
Fox has previously spoken about growing up in the city with her single father and brother, whom she says she doesn’t see very often.
Fox described her brother as a “mad scientist” type who liked to do experiments, but said he was a gentle guy who “wouldn’t hurt a fly.”
“He’s like a mad scientist recluse,” Julia previously has said of her brother in the interview. “He builds 3D printers for fun.”
According to law enforcement sources, officers recovered ghost weapons and signs of narcotics manufacture inside the home.
They also found unidentified pills, a pill press, and ghost weapons.
Around 6 a.m., police raided the Upper East Side residence of Christopher and Thomas Fox.
The detectives discovered ghost guns — firearms with no traceable serial numbers that are frequently sold in pieces — as well as 3D-printed parts such as lower receivers.
Authorities allegedly seized 3D printers and polymer material, as well as unidentified pills, a pill press, pressure cookers, fentanyl, chloroform, heroin, propane, formaldehyde, and components commonly used in the manufacture of explosives.
