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. 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. 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." A day after its release, over 200,000 copies of the DVD were said to have been sold. thus confirming that it is a professional pornographic video and not an amateur one. The DVD sold over 100,000 copies at news stands. On 4 February 2011, a second DVD produced by Sirina Entertainment was released in Greece with Alexandratou starring along with two male black pornographic actors. The DVD is considered a sequel of the first video, since it is titled Julia 2 Mavri (Julia 2 Blacks). The scenes feature explicit sexual acts, in the form of hardcore pornography.

Alexandratou claimed to be in a relationship with famous Greek star manager and celebrity Elias Psinakis, the ex manager of Greek singer Sakis Rouvas. The two were introduced in the spring of 2006 after the pageant. Psinakis was one of the judges on the Greek reality show Dream Show, where her sister Artemis was a contestant. In January 2007, Psinakis posed on the cover of an issue of the Greek magazine Trypaki. Julia conducted an interview for this issue, in which they both announced their relationship.
