Fox explained that whenever she’s out, she’s typically asked, “Where are your kids?” before answering with her perfect clap back, “Do you ask their dad whenhe’sout?”
“No,” Fox continued, “because you don’t expect a dad to be with the kids all the time, but I’m supposed to not be seen and be at home with my kids. They have another parent. I have to leave and sometimes I don’t want them photographed and they don’t come with me.”
