According to the Daily Mail—in since-deleted tweets—Julz laced into the officials not for thoroughly checking her passport, and then blamed them for contributing to the virus’ spread. 

“I’m coughing at the airport and this dude is dead a** petitioning for me to be quarantined,” Julz—whose real name is Julieanna Goddard—tweeted, followed by a string of crying emojis. 

“They have now taken me out of customs line and escorted me to a specified health concerns area,” she wrote. “I’m literally going to lose my sh*t.”

She then tweeted: “If this lady woulda flipped one page in my passport she would’ve seen I just got back from Paris. No wonder why this sh*t is spreading.”
