Social media personality and “Queen of SnapChat” YesJulz is probably regretting not putting her phone away for a few moments right now, because an uncensored camera phone flick of her in an intimate moment with a photographer has been leaked to the internet.
Now, YesJulz has been quietly battling against an extortion attempt over such material for the last few weeks, as a Miami-based fitness model and a man she recruited to assist her hacked into her phone, retrieved explicit photos and videos, and threatened to release them to the public if they weren’t given a cash payout within 24 hours. Via MiamiHerald:
A model is facing charges after police say she threatened to leak sexually explicit images of South Beach social-media star YesJulz unless she forked over $18,000 cash.
Hencha Voigt, 28, of Hollywood, has been arrested on charges of extortion — along with an unemployed Plantation man named Wesley Victor, 43.
Police said the two threatened to use social media to release the X-rated photos and videos of YesJulz, whose real name is Julieanna Goddard, 26.
According to Miami Beach police, Voigt and Victor last week contacted YesJulz, saying they had hacked into her cellphone to steal the images. Voigt even sent “a few pictures and videos as proof,” according to a police report.
Victor sent the woman a text, saying “18K cash … you can have them back as I said you dope chick. I like your movment look if I feel any fun business game over your choice,” according to police.
The two gave YesJulz a 24-hour deadline, according to the report. When confronted by Miami Beach detectives, police say the two confessed. They were caught Friday night with the cellphone believed used in the extortion.
As those who follow Julz on Snap know, she’s been routinely going to court over this issue for the last week or so. But even though her blackmailers were taken in, it seems that a third party may have got their hands on some of the explicit material, because a nearly 4-minute video of Julz and a photographer smashing on some purple bed sheets — taken sometime early last year — just hit the internet. That Hencha girl must REALLY hate her.
This kind of thing happens all the time, but the fallout may be rough for Julz. Twitter has already snatched the social media star’s verified check away after the tape’s spread, and her deals with Puma and Pacsun, to name a few, could potentially suffer. With the footage being a top trending topic at the hour, and Julz going radio silent on all social platforms — switching to private — memes and commentary are naturally being made right and left.
