Controversial OnlyFans Stunt Amid Hurricane Helene's Wrath
OnlyFans model Skyler Simpson faced significant backlash following her video posted on September 28, where she mocked the severity of Hurricane Helene. The video, set on Tampa Bay’s Bayshore Boulevard, showed Simpson amidst hurricane-force winds, staged as a news reporter. This act of satire, which included her assistants throwing ice cubes and a banana peel, was perceived by many as insensitive given the destructive impact of the hurricane.
Public Outcry on Social Media
Social media users swiftly criticized Simpson's video, which was intended to be humorous. Commenters condemned the insensitivity of making light of a natural disaster that resulted in casualties and substantial property damage. The online community expressed their discontent, with one user asking if Simpson would appreciate being in a similar predicament, while another described the stunt as "disgusting," especially for monetizing such content during a crisis.
Simpson's Defense of Her Actions
In response to the wave of criticism, Simpson defended her controversial video on her social media pages. She maintained that the video was satirical and advised those who were offended to "feel free to unfollow."
The Aftermath of Hurricane Helene
The satire came at a time when Hurricane Helene had severely affected large parts of Florida. The hurricane's severe impact led to millions of people losing power and caused significant damage to infrastructure, necessitating extensive cleanup and recovery operations starting the following Sunday across the Southeastern U.S.
