Several responders dismissed the revelation as common knowledge. “Everyone know already smfh,” wrote @iGOTgame304 in a quote post. Similarly, @Pops commented, “Where the fuck do yal minds be to not know this already.” User @irishqream simply replied, “Duh 💀.”
Others agreed but noted the phenomenon isn’t unique to Miami. “Many cities in the US it’s like that. It’s a major industry in the us,” said @vipbackchannel in a reply. @ColiseumVeryOwn added, “LA is the same way. Escorts that love All kind of drugs.” @dalevirgo echoed, “Not only in Miami. In LA a girl would be doing real estate by day and in the strip club at night. Lots of them. Or onlyfans.”
Some reactions turned personal toward Julz. “Prime example of a woman who tried it and failed. Now’s she’s mad,” wrote @CalvinBondley. @staysolidfive remarked, “She look like she tried to be one of them but couldn’t fully commit.” @GeorgeAParham commented, “That lil giggle at ‘escorts’ as if her kitty ain’t for sale. Lil bitch knock it off.”
Broader commentary touched on societal implications. @MiloshOffical referenced the term “Porta-Potty,” describing alleged degrading events for models and influencers. @Interstella4L quoted comedian Dave Chappelle: “There’s no such thing as a free trip to Hawaii.” @eazy__eric lamented, “this shit influencing the regular women out here too. i gotta get tf out of miami.”
As a Miami native, @ZoeThebiggest claimed, “all the hoes that come to Miami already know they coming here to sell Coochie. Shes making it seem like no one knows this😂 even she sold Coochie before down here.” @EmperorEj11 added, “I live in Miami . We all know to this lmao. Normies really are behind like 20 years.”
The discussion highlights ongoing conversations about the realities behind social media glamour, with no immediate response from Julz noted on her TikTok profile. The video continues to circulate, fueling debates on authenticity in influencer culture.
