They’re two of Australia’s most famous OnlyFans stars and, until recently, the best of friends.
However, Anna Paul’s once-close friendship with Mikaela Testa, both 25, is now the opposite since the latter made a string of cutting claims about her former BFF.
Mikaela made a series of shocking accusations regarding Anna’s behaviour, including that she has made mean-spirited comments about her fans’ appearances and exploits them for money.
She has also made claims about Anna’s brother, Atis Paul, 24, whom she dated for several years until 2022 – a relationship she has since branded ‘hell’.
The allegations don’t stop there; Mikaela has also told her followers that Anna has deceived fans about her upbringing, spreading false claims that she grew up impoverished.
Anna, who has lost almost half a million followers since the video, has responded in an emotionally charged TikTok, breaking down as she branded her former best friend’s claims inaccurate.
The feud is so scandalous that it’s attracted some of the world’s biggest stars, and even Drake weighed in on the spat by wearing a t-shirt with a quote from Anna’s response to Mikaela’s claims.
Here, Femail explores Mikaela’s accusations against the OnlyFans model and founder of the skincare brand, Paullie Skin.
One of many claims Mikaela made against Anna on TikTok is that she exploits young fans for money via social media cash giveaways.
Taking to TikTok, the 25-year-old gave her thoughts on what she dubbed a ‘twisted scheme’, ‘Anna’s performative generosity, like… dishing out giveaways behind a paywall reek of superiority.
‘Watching her fans scramble over scraps, fighting each other because they need funds while she films, flaunts her designer labels, endless holidays… This is dystopian and out of touch.
‘Anna is preying on the vulnerability and desperation of impressionable young fans for her profit under the disguise of self-love, empowerment, and giving back.
‘Anna may give back to the odd few people who she posts on her Instagram story for more promotion, but everyone else falls short.’
She added: ‘Anna, if you truly wanted to give back to your fans, you would use a free platform, such as your giant Instagram page with over 2.4 million followers, or, if you truly wanted to give back to your OnlyFans subscribers, you would do it privately within that platform.
‘By posting Instagram stories advertising that you’re sending money to subscribers, you are directly trying to lure new customers over to your page, a page that costs $16 to access. This $16 is essentially a lottery ticket.’
She added that the giveaways are merely a ‘plot for profit’ and not an authentic ‘giveaway situation’.
In the same TikTok, Mikaela also claimed that Anna’s personality in real life does not align with how she presents herself on social media.
‘You don’t know her,’ she said, adding, ‘These people that watch her don’t know the Anna that I know. They know the other Anna, the one she wears when the cameras start rolling.’
Mikaela claimed that Anna’s posts on body positivity are a front and recalled a memory where she allegedly fat-shamed a fan at an event in 2021 – a claim that Anna denies.
‘A plus-sized fan came to you and asked for a hug and a picture. You smiled at her, and you told her that you loved her. She told you how your words online have helped her be more comfortable in her body.
‘The moment she walked away, you told Atis that she was annoying and gross and that you didn’t want to agree to the hug because she was fat and sweaty. Atis laughed.
‘These were your words Anna, I heard them,’ she said, adding, ‘things like this were a common occurrence. Seeing your fakeness in the flesh was such a disturbing experience.’
Speaking in the Unsaid podcast via Pedestrian, Mikaela also claimed that Anna made unkind comments about her former boyfriend Glenn Thompson.
She said: ‘Anna, behind Glen’s back to me and my entire friend group, would call Glen fat on the daily. She’d call him fat every single day. She’d fat-shame him with her mum’.
The 25-year-old OnlyFans star also addressed her former relationship with Anna’s younger brother Atis.
She first broke her silence on the topic in June 2023, one year after they broke off their relationship of several years.
‘It was seriously hell – like I had never been through something so bad ever,’ the TikTok star said in an interview with White Fox After Hours.
‘No one’s allowed to say anything because it will open up a wound, but it’s healed.’
At the time, Mikaela said she managed to work through the pain of the split, but it was difficult because she had become close with his family.
In an Instagram Q&A with fans, she added that the pair will never stop loving each other.
‘Will always be in love with each other, we never stopped,’ she said.
Atis, an influencer who made his fortune as a cryptocurrency investor, first revealed the split in June 2022 after much fan speculation.
‘I’ve been getting asked so much if Mik and I are still together. We love each other so much and decided to be friends now,’ he said.
‘Everything is perfect between us. We both agree it’s better that way.’
However, in her most recent TikTok, Mikaela offered a different version of the events behind their breakup.
‘I have never spoken truth to the internet because it isn’t pretty,’ she said before making a series of claims.
Mikaela further alleged that Atis would take ‘large percentages’ of her income, up to 50 per cent, to manage her, but claimed that ‘there was no managing,’ she said. He is yet to respond to her claims.
She also combatted her former best friend’s claims of growing up impoverished, which Mikaela considers false.
In the TikTok, Mikaela continued: ‘They were raised by amazing parents who provided a lot for them, [with] their dad making triple the average Australian income per week, had them living in a beautiful house on the water with a built-in pool.
‘I’ve seen the house in person. It’s beautiful. Being upper middle class is not being poor, Anna. Your exaggerated stories for the internet have always made your dad upset and me, well, just angry.
‘I was a real victim of the system and poverty like you portrayed yourself online. Remember that time when he called you out in the living room?
‘He didn’t understand why you would post such things, and he called them lies. But you need the story, faking the poverty, so people excuse your schemes.’
Anna later addressed the claims in a TikTok that gained over 21 million views.
She explained that she never responds to accusations, but she was this time because the claims received lots of traction.
‘The reason why I’ve taken so long is because this all took me by surprise, and it was a very big shock to me because this is somebody who I thought was my friend, and that I was close with.’
She first addressed the claim that she called a fan ‘so fat and sweaty’ after a meet and greet.
Countering the claim, she said: ‘Now, I do not call my fans fat. That is not who I am, that is not what I stand for, that is not what I have ever stood for.’
‘However, I may have called her sweaty because when somebody is wet when they touch you and then leave, and when you’re with your best friend, and you are now wet because of them, you may say, ‘I am now wet’.
‘Again, this was four years ago, but that may have happened. I also know that people would have hugged me, walked away, and said ‘Anna Paul was sweaty’, that does not make them a bad person.’
She added that, because she hugs thousands, her shoulders often ‘smell like sweat’ because they enter people’s armpits, but, she added, that it’s ‘just a human thing, and people can twist it and make it sound bad in a video.’
Next, the OnlyFans star addressed Mikaela’s claim that she did not ‘grow up broke’ but upper middle class.
‘Now, I do not lie about the fact that I grew up broke; when I say I grew up broke, that is my experience; that is how I felt.
‘When I can hear my parents talking in the kitchen that the budget for the groceries that week is $30, it made me feel broke; when we can’t afford school uniforms, it made me feel broke.’
The influencer went on to list more instances that made her ‘feel broke’ during her childhood.
She said: ‘That does not mean that I was the most broke person on earth; there are definitely people in way worse situations than me, but that does not mean that I’m lying about the fact that I felt broke during those times.’
Discussing photographs online showing her childhood home and cars that do not match the description of her childhood, she said: ‘Social media is fake, Instagram is fake, it’s all fake, and it can be faked, and this is just the perfect example.’
Her response on the topic gained the attention of rapper Drake, who donned a t-shirt with the writing, ‘It made me feel broke’, during a Brisbane concert last month.
Following his gig, Drake was spotted entering an after-party at TAMA Supper Club wearing a second T-shirt.
The God’s Plan hitmaker changed into an ‘Anna vs. Mikaela’ shirt, which Testa posted to her Instagram Stories.
‘He’s so funny this is iconic,’ she wrote.
It’s unclear whether Testa attended the after-party herself or re-shared the image from another source.
Meanwhile, Paul did not comment on the situation.
Anna concluded her response video by sending a stark warning to those engaging in online hate: ‘Bullying like this kills people,’ she said.
She added: ‘Fortunately, I’m lucky to have a very strong support system… My DMs have kept me through this. They are so incredibly sweet.
‘What I can’t imagine is going through something like this alone. There are children that go through this kind of stuff alone, and… I cannot even imagine how they go through that, survive that.’
‘This is not behaviour that we can encourage and engage in. If you feel the need to make a hateful, negative video, lock your phone before you do that.
‘I promise you someone’s life is not worth the views. People die of this every day, and in saying that, I do not want a single nasty or mean comment in my defence.’
‘It’s all internet fun until someone dies. I’m not joking, it is dangerous, so do not send any hate, not even on my behalf, I do not stand behind that comment.’
‘I love you so much. Be nice, be kind, and if you feel the need to be mean, lock your phone and go outside, I promise you will have a nicer day and feel nicer afterwards.’
