Canadian pole vaulter Alysha Newman has fired back at critics of her OnlyFans endeavors after becoming a viral sensation at the Olympic Games.
Newman sent the internet wild on Wednesday when she celebrated a memorable Olympic bronze medal by twerking to the crowd at the Stade de France in Paris.
And when she is not picking up Olympic medals, the 30-year-old athlete delights supporters with insights into her life on OnlyFans.
Her page on the X-rated subscription site has received close to 65,000 likes, with fans charged $7.14 to sign up for a month.
Nevertheless, Newman’s presence on the platform has brought her increased scrutiny, especially in the wake of Wednesday’s viral moment at the Olympics.
Yet she said this week, via Bild: ‘Of course, many people have a certain cliché when they think of OnlyFans. I can’t change many people’s minds.
‘But this website has connected me with many fans, more than any other pole vaulter before. What others think about it doesn’t bother me.
‘I am who I am and I do it well.’
Newman says she posts ‘a lot of [her] training sessions’ on OnlyFans, where content creators are said to take home around 20 percent of the revenue they create.
‘I earn money with what I post – you have to log in to find out. It makes me confident and I feel good about it,’ she added.
Newman had just wowed supporters by clearing 4.85metres in a hotly-contested pole vault final on Wednesday night, breaking the national record in doing so, before pulling out her unique celebration.
The Olympian, from Delaware, Ontario, in Canada, cleared the same height as rival Katie Moon but the American missed one fewer times than Newman and scooped up a silver.
She became the first ever Canadian woman to win an Olympic medal in the pole vault after her success in Paris, and the only person from the country since 1912.
Speaking on her bronze medal victory at the Olympics, Newman said to TSN: ‘I’m so excited.’
‘I laugh because getting third is, I mean I’ve never got third, but it’s funny because you have to still wait and sit there and wait until the other girls are done.
‘So I’m so awkwardly standing there like, “What do I do? Do I celebrate? Do I kiss everyone? Do I cry?”
‘It was a really surreal moment and it was awesome. I just feel like I’m very emotionally stable right now and just feel so honoured to be the first (women’s) pole vaulter to bring home an Olympic medal for Canada.’
