==Biography== Julia Alexandratou has modeled since the age of four and has also participated in and won a lot of beauty pageants. At age seven, she enrolled in ballet lessons, and later on in vocal and acting training, where she is said to have exhibited great potential. In 2002, at the age of 16, Alexandratou entered the "Miss Young" beauty pageant where she won first place.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.fashionmodeldirectory.com/models/Julia_Alexandratou/ |title=Julia Alexandratou Profile on FMD – Julia Alexandratou pictures / images |publisher=Fashionmodeldirectory.com |access-date=26 July 2010 |archive-date=10 September 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100910105256/http://www.fashionmodeldirectory.com/models/julia_alexandratou/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
===Career=== ====2006–2009: modeling, hosting, and music==== {{BLP unsourced section|date= May 2026}} In 2006, Alexandratou participated in the 17th edition of the annual ''Miss Star Hellas'' beauty pageant which took place on 9 April 2006 (semi-final) and 11 April 2006 (final).
She made her first appearance after the competition on the live Greek reality show Fame Story 4, and was a guest singer on the Greek song, "Mono Ya Sena" (Only For You) with Fame Story 3 contestant Andreas Constantinidis. The duet was featured as the first single on his debut album, while they also filmed a music video together for the song.
A few months later, Alexandratou became a co-host to the Greek TV show ''Megalicious Chart Live!'', alongside MAD TV presenter Themis Georgandas. During that period, she made many television appearances, and in the course of one year, appeared on over 10 magazine covers, including magazines such as ''Vogue'', ''Nitro'', ''Diva'' and ''Celebrity''.
Her subsequent fame led to her hosting a TV show called ''Music Bee'', along with her friend Stathis Etiatoglou. The show debuted to high expectations, with a format focusing on music news in Greece and abroad. However, ratings of the show soon dropped.
In 2007, she released two singles with Sony Music Entertainment Greece titled ''I Vassilissa tis Pistas'' (The Queen of the Dance Floor) and ''Stohos Ine ta Lefta'' (The Target Is Money), respectively. That same year, Alexandratou made her film debut in a Greek comedy directed by Nikos Perakis, playing the role of a singer named Areti. ''Stohos Ine ta Lefta'' served as the theme song to the film.
In April 2008, Alexandratou posed on the cover of ''Nitro'' magazine, assuming the role of Marilyn Monroe. She was voted by readers of the magazine as the best choice to perform the special edition spread. In the autumn of the same year, she started performing in her first concert appearances at an Athenian nightclub alongside Greek singer Panos Kalidis. In late 2008, she released her single ''Honolulu'', which is a cover of a song written by Nikos Karvelas. Karvelas later expressed outrage that the song was covered without his consent.
====2010–present: pornographic videos==== On 3 March 2010, a DVD depicting Alexandratou having sex with a then-unidentified male began being sold in many spots around Greece. The man's face can't be seen throughout the entire video and for a period after the DVD's release there was an unconfirmed rumor that the man is pornographic actor Ian Scott.<ref name="protothema1">{{Cite web|url=http://www.protothema.gr/life-style/gossip/article/?aid=62578 |title=Πρώτο ΘΕΜΑ online : To πορνό της Τζούλιας σε αριθμούς – Life Style – Gossip |publisher=Protothema.gr |access-date=26 July 2010}}</ref> When first asked by reporters about this video, Alexandratou and her manager, Menios Fourthiotis, stated that this was the first time they heard about it and that they thought that it was a joke or a blackmail attempt.{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}}
Nevertheless, the owner of Sirina Entertainment (the company which distributed the DVD), Dimitris Sirinakis, stated: ''"I can't reveal how or from whom I got the sex tape, but I can assure you that it was obtained legally."''<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.espressonews.gr/default.asp?pid=79&la=2&artid=1157637&catID=16 |title=Σάλος με το ροζ βίντεο της Τζούλιας | CoverStory |publisher=Espressonews.gr |access-date=26 July 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100308094419/http://www.espressonews.gr/default.asp?pid=79&la=2&artid=1157637&catID=16 |archive-date=8 March 2010 }}</ref> A day after its release, over 200,000 copies of the DVD were said to have been sold.<ref name="protothema1"/> Shortly after the DVD's release, Alexandratou appeared on one of Star Channel's newscasts, on which she claimed that the pornographic video was filmed exclusively for personal use and she also stated, without revealing the unidentified man's real identity, that his first name was Giorgos and that it was him who leaked the video, to harm her public image.
On 17 March 2010, Alexandratou appeared on Greek host Tatiana Stefanidou's TV show ''Axizi na to Dis'', on which she admitted that she was paid in advance for her participation in the video,<ref>[http://www.newsit.gr/default.php?pname=Article&art_id=18585&catid=10 ''Τζούλια: Γύρισα το καυτό DVD γιατί ήταν πολλά τα λεφτά!''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100322190143/http://www.newsit.gr/default.php?pname=Article&art_id=18585&catid=10 |date=22 March 2010 }} newsit.gr (Greek)</ref><ref>[https://news24gr.blogspot.com/2010/03/blog-post_1274.html ''Η Τζουλια στην Τατιάνα στο αξίζει να το δεις σήμερα''] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120304091620/http://news24gr.blogspot.com/2010/03/blog-post_1274.html |date=4 March 2012 }}. news24gr (Greek)</ref><ref>[http://www.madata.gr/diafora/media/56031.html ''Τζούλια Αλεξανδράτου στο "Αξίζει να το Δεις": Αποκαλύψεις σοκ''.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100322201226/http://www.madata.gr/diafora/media/56031.html |date=22 March 2010 }} .madata.gr (Greek)</ref> thus confirming that it is a professional pornographic video and not an amateur one.
