Canoeist Turns to OnlyFans After Ban Over Explicit Content
A British canoeist, aged 23, has pivoted to using OnlyFans as a financial lifeline after being sidelined from professional competitions and losing his world record. The ban was imposed due to an explicit video he posted online, which also led to his expulsion from training and competing.
Financial Shift to OnlyFans
Previously supported by an annual fund of 16,000 pounds from Paddle UK for his development, the young athlete faced increasing financial pressures compounded by stagnant funding. In response, he launched an OnlyFans account in December to support his training and livelihood. From January to May, he successfully generated over 100,000 pounds through this platform.
Controversy Fuels Interest and Income
The explicit video that triggered the ban inadvertently sparked curiosity and bolstered his OnlyFans account, significantly increasing both his following and revenue. The athlete acknowledged a bittersweet reality, as the video that financed his ongoing training was the same cause for his professional suspension. Additionally, the fact that the controversial video was filmed on a moving plane added further intrigue and public interest.
Perseverance and Future Aspirations
Despite facing criticism and numerous career obstacles, the canoeist remains focused on his return to competitive sports. He credited OnlyFans with providing much-needed financial relief which has helped alleviate the immediate financial pressures and allowed him to continue his training more effectively. He is now dedicated to overcoming the challenges ahead and aims to qualify for future Olympic events. The athlete expressed no regrets over his decision to turn to OnlyFans, deeming it essential for continuing his athletic career and pursuing his life goals.
Support for Family
The financial success from OnlyFans has not only supported his training but also assisted him in taking care of his mother. This dual role of responsibility underscores the canoeist's commitment to both his family and his sport amidst ongoing challenges.
