Model Arrested After Targeting Nigel Farage to Promote OnlyFans
In a bold incident that immediately drew significant media attention, 25-year-old model Victoria Thomas-Bowen threw a drink on Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, during an event in Clacton. This act was reportedly used by Thomas-Bowen to generate publicity for her OnlyFans account, a content subscription service predominantly used for adult material.
Details of the Incident
The event took a surprising turn when Thomas-Bowen evaded security and threw the contents of a McDonald's cup directly at Farage’s face. The incident, which was well-documented by photographers, occurred shortly after Farage had described Clacton as "the most patriotic town in Britain." Despite this interruption, Farage managed to promptly wipe his face and continued his activities without further escalation.
Aftermath and Social Media Promotion
Seizing the opportunity, Thomas-Bowen later took to social media to promote her OnlyFans page by posting provocative images and captions, likely to capitalize on the media coverage. Her Instagram account, boasting over 18,100 followers, became a platform for sharing images meant to draw in viewers to her OnlyFans content.
Police Response and Arrest
Essex Police responded quickly to the disturbance, arresting Thomas-Bowen at the scene under suspicion of assault. An additional arrest was made of a man allegedly involved in assaulting an emergency worker during the same episode. Both were detained for questioning to clarify details about what had transpired during the event.
Public Reaction
The stunt sparked a variety of reactions online, with some condemning the model’s actions as inappropriate, while others admired her boldness. The incident also served to underscore Farage’s often polarizing influence in UK politics. Notably, this is not the first instance Farage has been the target of a public dousing; he previously faced a similar situation in 2019 involving a milkshake.
