The latest episode of Love After Lockup Season 6 has sparked a firestorm on social media as viewers witnessed Julius juggling two relationships simultaneously. Fresh out of prison after serving time for drug trafficking, Julius found himself caught between Alexis, who spent nearly $1,200 supporting him during his incarceration, and Ashley, his other girlfriend, who had no idea about her competition.
The popular WE tv reality series follows couples where one partner has been released from prison, documenting their journey to build or rebuild relationships on the outside. The show has gained a massive following for its raw portrayal of the challenges these unique couples face, including trust issues, financial struggles, and adapting to life after incarceration.
Love After Lockup fans were particularly incensed by Julius's calculated deception in the April 4th episode, where he lied to both women while continuing to string them along.
Social media platforms erupted with reactions as viewers expressed their frustration, disappointment, and predictions about how this love triangle would eventually collapse. The hashtag #LoveAfterLockup trended as viewers shared their unfiltered opinions about Julius's two-timing behavior.
Love after Lockup fans react to Julius cheating on two women
Reactions from Love After Lockup fans have been nothing short of passionate. Many viewers expressed outrage at Julius's manipulative behavior, particularly given Alexis's financial and emotional investment in their relationship. The sight of Julius calling Ashley from the bathroom during his dinner with Alexis struck a nerve with the audience.
“I hope this blows up in Julius face. I want one of them to plant some drugs on his tail and call his parole officer. You shouldn't hurt people who've done nothing but keep you sane by supporting you and giving you their time and money.” a fan commented on X.com
“Julius is literally a 14 year old boy mindset over being a 25 year old” another fan commented.
“If I was Julius, I wouldn’t want to be with Alexis or Ashley either. Ashley making it ALL about her when this dude just got out of prison. And Alexis not liking the back seat to his crew…. Get used to it! These Chicks are living in Fantasyland” a fan said.
“Ashley, when Julius says, "I'm with my mom's", he's lying” another fan said.
Another faction of viewers remained fascinated by the unfolding drama, eagerly anticipating the inevitable confrontation when the two women discover the truth. These fans continued watching with a sense of morbid curiosity, predicting various scenarios for how the deception might be revealed.
Some fans directed their sympathy toward Alexis, noting her devotion and financial sacrifice. Others questioned both women's judgment for getting involved with someone recently released from prison for serious charges. The online discussion highlighted viewers' conflicting emotions about the situation, from empathy to judgment to entertainment.
“Julius ain’t shit lmaoooo he said he had to go take a picture and went to call Ashley. Then callin Alexis his mama lmaoook he’s bout to ruin Alexis and Ashley’s lives! RUNNNN” a fan said.
“I’m not surprised he talking to multiple women. Julius went to prison when he was 18 (a teenager) even tho he’s 25 he’s mentally still very much a child! What you expect him to do fr?” another fan commented.
“Playing with someone’s emotions is one of the worst things you can do. Julius is a horrible human” a fan declared.
“Like I said, knowing that Alexis is currently pregnant for Julius, I don’t feel bad. She got what she wanted. I can only hope Ashley jumped ship when she found out bout him cheating” another fan said.
“These two are going to snap Julius like a toothpick!” a fan posted on X.com.
“I hate the way Julius is doing Ashley and Alexis. Neither of these women deserves the bullshit games he’s playing!” another fan posted.
Julius’ double life exposed and aftermath
The recent episode of Love After Lockup showcased Julius's release from prison, with Alexis eagerly waiting to greet him. However, rather than spending quality time with her immediately, Julius chose to hang out with his friends and immediately asked for some "za"—slang that viewers quickly noted was concerning for someone fresh out of incarceration for drug-related charges.
When Julius finally arrived at Alexis's apartment, he was visibly moved by her thoughtful decorations.
"Alexis is definitely making me feel special right now with the balloons and the roses, ain't nobody did that for me. So that do making me feel guilty," he confessed to the cameras.
While Alexis took a shower, Julius seized the opportunity to call Ashley. He fabricated a story about staying with his family, canceling their planned meeting despite her excitement about his release. This led to their first post-prison argument on Love After Lockup, with Ashley calling him a "disappointment" while Julius scrambled to maintain his deception.
Julius's attempt to maintain both relationships began showing cracks almost immediately after his release. During an earlier bathroom break at dinner with Alexis and his friends, he called Ashley to announce his freedom. Although Ashley ended the call with "I love you," Love After Lockup viewers noticed Julius's telling silence in response.
The reality star appeared increasingly uncomfortable with his situation as the episode progressed. His guilty reaction to Alexis's welcome home celebration, complete with balloons, roses, and a banner, suggested he might have underestimated the emotional complications of his two-timing scheme.
Alexis, meanwhile, shared her excitement with producers:
"I'm excited. I don't know why I was nervous. I'm ready to cuddle and love him,"
As Love After Lockup continues to document this volatile love triangle, fans are predicting an explosive confrontation in upcoming episodes. Julius's precarious balancing act cannot be sustained indefinitely, especially with both women invested emotionally in what they believe are exclusive relationships.
