Julia Ernst is an influencer with more than 900,000 followers on TikTok and more than 300,000 followers on Instagram. It was discovered that she was cyberbullying herself, defending herself, starting rumors about her boyfriend, and spreading fake nudes of him on the snark subreddit devoted to her.
So Julia has an Instagram account called breakfastsammies, where she posts pictures of sandwiches she makes. On this Instagram account, she posted a picture of half a sandwich and discussed having seizures and possibly a brain tumor. Then, she took a screen shot of her post and posted it to her Reddit snark page...only to get caught by Redditors.
On the sub-Reddit /r/JuliaErnstSnark2, a user named UnderstandingIcy7557 posted a screenshot of Julia's earlier breakfast sandwich post. They wrote that Vinnie Hacker, Julia's ex sort-of boyfriend, would probably use the information about her brain tumor to make himself look like a victim.
Reddit users quickly noticed that the screen shot had "view insights" and "boost post" buttons under it, which could only have shown up on Julia's Instagram if she was logged into it. The redditors concluded that Julia must have been logged into her own Instagram, taken the screen shot, and posted it to the snark Reddit.
Once people began noticing this, Julia's Instagram username quickly changed from breakfastsammygal to thebreakfastsensai. (She spelled "sensei" wrong, too.) Julia claimed on Instagram that she had been hacked by someone in Romania. She posted a supposed screen shot of a warning from Instagram that a new login had been detected from Romania. However, this supposed warning had a time stamp of 11:58 PDT. The sandwich post went up on Reddit well before then, meaning that Julia doctored the Instagram warning to make it look like she was hacked. Also, Pixel phones are not sold in Romania.
She also made another post requesting help from anyone who worked in cybersecurity.
She deleted the Reddit account, but not before everyone had made screenshots of her previous posts. She would write about herself in the third person, defending herself and saying kind things about herself. She would also deliberately misspell her own last name, seemingly in an attempt to throw people off her trail.
She also talked some serious shit about her ex, Vinnie Hacker. Someone had made fake images of Hacker nude, then spread them on the internet. And one of the people who was spreading them was Julia.
She also spread rumors about him cheating with another girl and posted his Hinge profile.
Finally, she went on her main Insta and blamed it on having a stroke plus a mass in her brain.
