What happened to PopularMMOs?
After his divorce, Julianelle continued to post gaming content on YouTube with his new girlfriend, Elizabeth “Liz” Heranek. He also started posting fitness content on his Instagram page. However, his online presence was marred by several controversies and legal troubles.
In May 2021, Julianelle and Heranek were both arrested for domestic battery in Florida. According to a police report, they gave “opposing stories” and refused to cooperate with the investigation. Julianelle claimed that he was subjected to “false accusations” and blamed his ex-girlfriend, Eleni, for leaking his address and harassing him and Heranek.

Julianelle’s last Instagram post was in early 2022, in which he expressed his appreciation for his wife, Heranek. However, he later deleted his Instagram and Twitter accounts. He also stopped posting on YouTube in 2021, leaving his fans wondering about his whereabouts and well-being.
Is PopularMMOs returning to the internet?
As of December 2023, there is no official confirmation or announcement from Julianelle about his return to the internet. Some fans have speculated that he might be taking a break from social media to focus on his personal life and legal issues. Others have expressed their hope that he would make a comeback to the gaming space and address his situation.
However, some critics have argued that Julianelle has lost his credibility and reputation as a YouTube star and that his controversies have overshadowed his achievements. They have also questioned his behavior and choices and urged him to seek professional help.
Whatever the case may be, Julianelle’s story is a reminder of the challenges and risks that come with being a public figure on the internet. It also shows how fame and fortune can change a person’s life for better or worse.
