Who is YesJulz? Influencer issues statement on 2014 LeBron James affair claim, sparks hilarious reactions online
Social media personality Julieanna Goddard, famously known as YesJulz, rose to prominence in 2014 when she organized a party for LeBron James in Miami. Rapper Pusha T started the rumors of YesJulz getting involved with James in his song Popular Demand (Popeyes).
In a viral video on Twitter, YesJulz cleared the air and debunked rumors of her sleeping with "The King." She claimed that they were friends back then and was dating one of his NBA friends.
"I have never in my entire life been alone with LeBron James, period," YesJulz said. "There's nothing that went on there. Clearly, we were friends. I was working in Miami. I was one of the most popular partygoers and throwers in Miami."

YesJulz added that she respects LeBron James' wife Savannah too much. The couple has been together since high school and got married in 2013. They have three children together — sons Bronny and Bryce and daughter Zhuri.
"I did not f*ck with LeBron," YesJulz said. "I have the utmost respect for Savannah. Love her. I think she's amazing. They have a beautiful family, and I'm really f*cking tired of this stain being put on my name."
Here are some of the best reactions to YesJulz's confession online:
@ClubAmbition__ No Sir.
Not buying the explanation.
1. Way too many blinks, eye movement, & hand gestures.
2. Way too much information (deflection) on a situation you can diffuse by saying "that never happened."
3. How is a rumor of having sex with Bron, a stain on any womans name & not his? https://t.co/xZiMk90zc5
@ClubAmbition__ His haters will see this and still throw smut on his name. Slandering him is one of the most lucrative businesses out there. LeBron Hate sells and gets millions of likes, views, comments, and clicks. That’s just the way it is.
@ClubAmbition__ denying a rumor like 9 years after the fact makes it suspicious to me lol
