imho Jasmine uses Julie so that she can look like the poor broken lamb for the cameras. I think she was looking for anyone to do it for her and Julie was the first to jump in when she started to go unhinged.

I think Julie just realizes that it's better for everyone if she plays that role and calms down Jasmine, otherwise she will stay a whirling dervish screaming at everyone in the house. The reason Julie talks about it is because it's not any fun, she is taking one for the team and she wants at least a little appreciation from someone.
