How Julia Used Social Media to Keep Fans in the Loop
In a recent sit-down with The New Yorker, Julia shared how she used her social media presence to keep her fans updated on her journey. She revealed that there were photographers lurking around, trying to catch candid shots of her looking unwell. "There were people with long lenses trying to get pictures of me looking ill," she explained, "and I think I kind of burst the bubble on a lot of it because of my social-media presence." Julia’s transparency allowed her to control the narrative and stay connected with her fans during a challenging time.
Facing Fear and Self-Pity with Resilience
Julia also opened up about her mental state during her cancer battle. Did she ever give in to fear or self-pity? "Don’t misunderstand: I was to — my — bones terrified," she admitted. "But I didn’t let myself — except for a couple of moments — go to a really dark place. I didn’t allow it." She compared her emotional struggle to riding a galloping horse with tight reins. "You know if you get on a horse and you have really tight reins and the horse is galloping? I felt like I had really tight reins on myself. That’s what it felt like: I was just holding on tight." Despite the challenges, she maintained a positive outlook, saying, "I’ve had a really rough year, blah, blah, blah — you know, we’re getting through it."

Laughter Truly Was the Best Medicine
Julia, who finished her cancer treatment in January, discovered that laughter was a powerful ally in her recovery. "The old cliché about laughter being the best medicine turns out to be true," she said. "When I was getting my hideous chemotherapy, I’d cram a bunch of friends and family into the tiny treatment room with me. We really did have some great laughs." Even though she was heavily medicated and slipping in and out of consciousness, she found joy in the company of loved ones. It wasn’t just about surviving; it was about thriving.
A source close to Julia told Closer that while she tries to stay strong, she was indeed very scared during her battle. But now, she’s feeling great! "She has more energy and, as she says, ‘verve,’ than she’s had in a long time. She’s thrilled — and very grateful," the source revealed.
What’s Next for Julia?
Julia isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Her beloved show Veep is set to premiere its seventh and final season next spring. Fans can expect the same biting wit and comedic genius that has made her a household name.
