W.A.G.s to Riches premiered on Netflix on Wednesday, January 22, 2025. Episode 3, titled Humble Baddies, saw Julz and Sharelle's former agent, Kenea, get into a physical altercation after Kenea accused Julz of being a "culture vulture." She also alleged that her co-star made negative comments about black women, demeaning the community as a whole.
"She's a culture vulture," Kenea told the other ladies.
After hearing Kenea's opinion of her, Julz defended herself by stating that it was unfair of Kenea to label her as a "culture vulture," as Kenea did not know her well enough to make such a criticism. However, Kenea refused to budge, saying she was not sharing her opinion, but "stating facts" and recalled when Julz wanted to wear a shirt with a derogatory slogan.
Julz then looked down on Kenea's real estate work, questioning what she did to serve her community. One thing led to another and the ladies started throwing fists at each other, only to be separated by security.
W.A.G.s to Riches fans took to X comments on Julz and Kenea's scuffle. While many criticized Kenea for bringing up the subject, others claimed the allegations against Julz were true.
"I’m surprised Julz was even casted for this show…culture vulture for sure. Surely not surprised that fight happened," a fan wrote.
"No one is going to point at me in my face and I hate julz even put herself in the situation they never wanted to hangout with her she was a casualty for tv," another fan commented.
"Dang I really hate how they did Julz smh. I’m not her biggest fan by any means but I do like her and I think it’s messed up they got it out for her," a netizen tweeted.
Many W.A.G.s to Riches fans disapproved of how Julz was questioned in front of everyone and how Kenea pointed fingers at her.
"And I don’t like a “culture vulture” just like the next black person. But you keep putting your hands in my face, imma smack the f**k out of you. They sound crazy as hell blaming Julez," a user reacted.
"I understand Julz gets a lot of bad press but she didn’t start that fight, I would’ve went over to that table with the same energy cause b**ch you don’t know me personally and speaking on me like you do," a person commented.
"Two things can be true. YesJulz IS a culture vulture but that girl was lame for that and I would’ve slapped her finger out my face, too!! Race ain’t got s**t to do with it," another fan wrote.
Other W.A.G.s to Riches fans supported Kenea, claiming her accusation to be true.
"Julz is a culture vulture. No way how you slice it," one user reacted.
"She does give off “culture vulture” but I’m not all the way sure. She’s giving more goofy ditzy b**ch lol," a person commented.
"Julz getting chewed up on WAGS to Riches made me smile. I almost thought that they thought she was cool, but I’m so glad this is happening," another netizen commented.
"She was the aggressor in the situation" — W.A.G.s to Riches star Ashley comments on Julz's role in the fight
Days after the fight, Sharelle sat down with Alexis and Ashley to discuss Julz's behavior at the restaurant. She revealed that Julz had contacted Porsha the day after the conflict to tell her how "horrible" Sharelle was for liking Kenea's pictures after the fight.
Hearing that, Ashley claimed Julz had no right to criticize others after what happened between her and Kenea. When the W.A.G.s to Riches star heard Julz was upset no one called to check in on her, she said:
"She was the aggressor in the situation. Why would anybody call her and ask her if she's okay? That b**ch is delusional."
Ashley criticized her for raising her hand on "another Black woman," disapproving of her "childish" behavior. While speaking to the cameras, Sharelle stated Julz acted like a "barbarian" by clashing with a Black business owner. Sharelle added that she wanted to be around the "right people" so others would not judge her based on her acquaintances.
The W.A.G.s to Riches ladies further demeaned Julz for not taking accountability. Sharelle was disappointed by her unwillingness to learn "culture sensitivity." Meanwhile, Ashley stated:
"At our big age, as women, I cannot fight. I don't wanna fight. I will have too much to lose."
