Julia Ain has never been one to play it safe. Her bold, unfiltered humor has become the backbone of her online presence, drawing in a dedicated audience that thrives on her ability to joke about topics others wouldn’t dare touch. She embraces dark comedy, making light of everything from the absurdities of daily life to the stereotypes and hate directed at her. But with that level of unapologetic honesty comes a wave of negativity—particularly in the form of antisemitic comments that flood her posts. Rather than backing down, Julia does what she does best: she turns it into comedy.
Scrolling through her content, it’s easy to see why she resonates with so many people. In one reel, she jokes about the struggles of getting through life by finding silver linings in the most ridiculous of situations. The humor is self-deprecating, yet deeply relatable. But of course, not everyone sees it that way. “Typical Jew behavior, always playing the victim card,” someone comments.
Instead of letting comments like that faze her, Julia leans in. If people are going to throw stereotypes at her, she’ll throw them right back—on her own terms. When she excitedly shared news about her visa approval to move to the U.S., she poked fun at the grueling process, highlighting the sheer exhaustion of navigating bureaucracy. Rather than celebrating with her, some trolls took it as an opportunity to spew hate: “Great, another Jew coming to steal our jobs and money.” Julia, unfazed, took the moment in stride, knowing that by putting herself out there, she’s also exposing the ridiculousness of these age-old prejudices.
And then there are the comments that are so laughably absurd, they practically write the jokes for her. In a reel where she wears a star-shaped bikini, captioned with her signature mix of confidence and sarcasm—“Star bikini because I’m a star ⭐️”—one user felt compelled to chime in: “Using your body to distract from your greedy Jewish nature.” Julia doesn’t have to do much at that point. The comment speaks volumes about the people making them, not about her.
But this isn’t just about her ability to shake off online hate. It’s about something bigger. Julia keeps posting because she knows that Jewish comedy and Jewish identity deserve space on the internet, even when—especially when—it’s met with hostility. In a digital landscape where voices are often drowned out by outrage, she refuses to be silenced.
“People are mean. People are antisemitic. And I still post anyway,” she says. “Because there should be Jewish humor, and there should be Jewish identity that remains online, for people to see, to laugh at, to connect with. And at the end of the day, I don’t really care what anyone has to say about it.”
Hate might be loud, but Julia Ain is louder. And she’s not going anywhere.
