Clarifications on Content Nature
Reacting to the buzz, representatives for Vickery reached out to clarify her stance regarding her OnlyFans content.

The spokesperson further clarified that Vickery's content on OnlyFans includes suggestive material but does not involve full nudity or any sexual acts.
Tennis or OnlyFans?
Regarding rumors about Vickery abandoning tennis for OnlyFans, the representative explained, "She was off [tennis] for 6 months due to a major injury, and during that time, OnlyFans was pursued.
