Julie Stoffer

Julie A. Stoffer is a reality show personality, best known as a cast member on MTV's reality television series The Real World: New Orleans, the ninth season of The Real World series. Stoffer was notable for being the first Mormon featured on The Real World. Raised in a strict Mormon household, Stoffer was barred from watching MTV; only watching The Real World at friend's houses. On a whim, Stoffer auditioned among 35,000 other people to be on the show. "When I went to L.A., it was just life-changing. I got out there, and I saw a whole new world that I've never seen before," Stoffer said. "I... met some really cool people, and I realized, if this experience could be this cool in a couple of days, imagine four months in a new place with new people. I just wanted to meet new people, see new things, see what I wasn't seeing in Provo." Stoffer called the experience "eye-opening." "I saw so much. I learned so much in four months that I've never even known about." Real World casting directors sought out a "faithful Mormon" when they selected Stoffer. Before filming began, she received a blessing from her bishop that she would be "an example to the world.
