Porn influencer arrested after changing the Hollywood sign to say ‘HOLLYBOOB’
(The AEGIS Alliance) – HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA – Six individuals were arrested after the famed “Hollywood” sign was altered to spell out “HOLLYBOOB,” the Los Angeles Times reported.
The sign was modified on Monday with a big tarp that was made to show the letter “B” over the “W,” and a line going through the “D” that changed it to a “B.”
Porn Influencer and publisher Julia Rose, who rose to fame in 2019 after she flashed her breasts to a baseball pitcher while attending the 2019 World Series has tweeted about the incident and took accountability for it.

LAPD officers said they noticed a group of 5 males and one woman on surveillance cameras, and intercepted them while they traveled down the hill the sign is at.
Police stated the people who haven’t been named, claimed they did the stunt as a strategy to increase awareness about breast cancer.

As the sign was not permanently changed, police arrested the group for misdemeanor trespassing and released them not long afterward.
Rose tweeted a video that seems to indicate her being led down the mountain by an LAPD officer. The tweet is captioned: “that one time I changed the Hollywood sign to #hollyboob.”

Rose runs Shagmag, a porn publication, and was sporting a branded t-shirt in her social media posts.
The Hollywood sign, which isn’t accessible to the general public, is managed by the Hollywood Sign Trust.
The trust group tweeted that they were not amused: “There are those who think modifying the Sign is fun, but this renowned icon should be appreciated not demeaned.”
Mark Panatier, the trust’s chair, informed the Los Angeles Times that altering the sign was disrespectful and that it doesn’t matter what the cause is for.
Earlier today, the Sign’s security and video monitoring system recorded a vandalism attempt. There are those who think modifying the Sign is fun, but this renowned icon should be appreciated not demeaned.

Captain Steve Lurie, the LAPD’s commanding officer for the world, tweeted: “Los Angeles landmarks are precious to those of us @LAPDHollywood and this was way uncool.”
A few hours ago, a group attempted to vandalize the Hollywood sign. Los Angeles landmarks are precious to those of us @LAPDHollywood and this was way uncool (not to mention the terrain is quite steep & dangerous). Hollywood patrol officers have arrested all six individuals.

The LAPD will increase their presence around the sign following the incident, Deadline wrote.
It isn’t the first time the sign has been messed with. According to Reuters, in 2017 a prankster modified the sign to read “Hollyweed.” Just over one week later the prankster surrendered himself to the police.
