Social Media Drags YesJulz After Saying Love Island Changed Her Dating Perspective

The tweet may be gone, but the internet never forgets. Social media personality YesJulz, known for her past controversies, risqué content, and unapologetic confidence, has found herself at the center of a heated online backlash after posting (and deleting) a tweet claiming that the hit reality series Love Island changed her “perspective on dating and how she approaches getting to know people romantically.”

The statement, which seemingly aimed to share a personal evolution, instead ignited a digital roasting session that spanned thousands of tweets, hot takes, and unfiltered commentary about age, maturity, and parasocial delusions.

“Cringe”: Social Media Drags YesJulz Over Dating Revelation

The reaction online was swift, brutal, and at times, downright vicious. Critics wasted no time pointing out the perceived absurdity of a 35-year-old woman finding enlightenment about romantic relationships from a reality show mostly centered on twenty-something contestants.

“Social media and these shows cooked peoples brains bruh. This is a 35yr old woman saying a reality tv show like Love Island changed her perspective on dating. We’re so cooked it’s not even funny.” wrote one user.

Another tweeted: “A single mother with a sextape online and still shakes ass to post on the internet , LMFAO was a fuckin moron.”

Others took a more sociological approach, tying her revelation into larger patterns of stunted emotional development:

“A lot of women really be aging physically but still stuck in their young adolescence mentally such a shame cuz they go their whole lives like that.”

“Grown ass women letting a dating tv show for pure entertainment alter her decision making in dating in real life??? Yea she’s cooked af 😂😂”

Even those attempting to be more sympathetic couldn’t resist sarcasm:

“Yes, let a controlled environment reality show teach you how to date as a grown woman.”

“Society so fried, YesJulz studying Love Island to learn how to communicate. Sick work! 🤷🏾‍♂️”

The Deleted Tweet and the Aftermath

YesJulz’s initial tweet was reportedly deleted within hours but not before screenshots and quote tweets immortalized the moment. As the backlash intensified, the influencer attempted to clarify her remarks with a series of follow-up posts.

“I don’t care what yall say I know my ladies feel me. Men be exploring like conquistadors while we close off after a first kiss. That’s what I meant when I said my perspective has shifted. Thanks for coming to my ted talk 💋”

“I never said it changed anything on how I judge character Concerned for everyone’s reading in levels”

“Don’t yall ever get tired of acting so dense? I can’t say shit on this app without it getting blown out of proportion my gawd”

But the damage was done. The conversation had already spiraled into a chaotic referendum on the intersection of fame, feminism, and online personas. Her attempt at nuance fell flat with many who saw the situation as another example of influencer out-of-touch-ness.

Dating Shows as Therapy? Critics Say: “Absolutely Not”

While Love Island might provide some with cathartic entertainment or spark the occasional self-reflection, the idea that it could fundamentally alter someone’s worldview on romance didn’t sit well with the crowd.

“This is what’s wrong with people—thinking TV/social media is real life.”

“A reality show leading to this = you have unaddressed issues 🤣”

“Pls don’t let Love Island teach you anything this is a dumb show.”

The tweet reignited broader concerns over how influencers, despite their platform and visibility, often blur the line between personal growth and public spectacle. In YesJulz’s case, the backlash wasn’t just about what she said—it was about who she is and how the internet perceives her.

The Cult of Commentary: Why YesJulz Can’t Tweet in Peace

YesJulz’s follow-up remarks echoed a familiar lament among controversial online figures: that no matter what they say, someone’s going to twist it.

“Don’t yall ever get tired of acting so dense?” she vented, exasperated by the response.

To her credit, she attempted to reframe her original sentiment as a critique of gender norms in dating, suggesting that women are often conditioned to shut down emotionally early, while men “explore like conquistadors.” But by that point, the internet had already written its narrative.

Once again, YesJulz found herself the main character of Twitter for all the wrong reasons.
