Incident Involving OnlyFans Model at New York City-Dublin Portal
An innovative public installation designed to connect New York City and Dublin was temporarily closed following a provocative act by an OnlyFans model. The model, Ava Louise, disrupted the portal operation by exposing herself during a livestream, leading to an immediate shutdown of the installation.
Ava Louise's Stunt and Its Aftermath
On May 12, Ava Louise, who boasts 400,000 followers on her Instagram account, took responsibility for the incident. She humorously commented on her social media, saying, “I thought the people of Dublin deserved to see my two New York, homegrown potatoes,” indicating her reason behind the act. This was followed by a video of her boyfriend confronting a portal operator, who cited “rules and regulations” violations as the cause for the shutdown.
Public Response and Criticism
The act drew significant criticism on various social media platforms with users expressing their upset. Comments on the incident questioned why the model chose to “ruin it for everyone” and raised concerns about maintaining decorum in public spaces.
Impact on Global City-Connection Project
The portal, which was operational for just under a week before the incident, is part of a broader initiative aimed at linking cities like New York and Dublin with other global locations, including Poland, Brazil, and Lithuania. This event underscores the challenge of balancing innovative public art installations with behavior that adheres to community standards and guidelines.
