The pieces of the puzzle are being assembled by Julia Fox. In a recent TikTok video, the Uncut Gems actress claimed that her ex-husband, Peter Artemiev, had secretly baptized their 4-year-old son, Valentino. The pilot, however, appeared to recall the descent a little differently in his response.
He insisted that his mother had called Julia in February to request permission to baptize the toddler, saying, "Her response to my mom was, 'I don't care about religion,'" he told People on April 14. In the event that you wish to get him baptized. Baptize him. "I don't care."
How did the incident unfold, according to Julia? According to her, she only learned of their son's milestone when she and Peter were at Valentino's school for a "little performance." As they passed a church, her ex-ex-boyfriend remarked, "Oh, this is where Valentino was baptized."
She claimed that she had never heard of the baptism before and started to question how the event transpired without even having a photo from the event.
"I couldn't understand why I wasn't invited," she recalled. "You were invited; you just didn't want to come," he said.
The 35-year-old further stated in recounting the sequence of events that, "If I was invited to something like that, I would go.”
The entire conversation actually took Julia "back to being in that relationship of being gaslighted over and over and over until I freak out and do something," according to Julia.
She claimed, "Then he calls me abusive." However, reactive abuse is what occurs when someone is subjected to mental, emotional, psychological, and physical abuse.
The model then claimed to have called Peter's mother to find out why she had been kept in the dark. However, she claimed that his mother informed her over the phone that the priest considered the ceremony to be "a Russian Orthodox thing, and only Russian Orthodox people could come."
The model remarked, "And it's like, 'Wow, now I see where this man gets it from.'" Avoid gaslighting me. That is a bullshit excuse. I am this child’s mother. You are not his mother.”
Julia, has accused Peter of raising her son Valentino alone for four years, taking him around the world. Despite Peter's mother claiming Valentino was regularly in her care, Julia is enraged that they robbed her of an experience. During a phone call, Peter's mother asked Julia if she would "punish me now" by keeping her out of Valentino's life. Julia insists she doesn't operate like that and refuses to separate her son from his grandmother. She warns her followers that having a child with a loser will dictate their life.
