A pregnant model and Instagram influencer is charging $9.99 for an OnlyFans subscription to share pictures of her baby bump with followers.
The influencer, 22-year-old London Goheen, announced her pregnancy on Instagram on Wednesday and has since posted four updates about the pregnancy on OnlyFans. As of Friday afternoon, Goheen had received 87 likes on the platform.
OnlyFans is a subscription-based platform on which users share private, paid content with their fans. It's known for its adult content and has become the main source of income for many sex workers during the pandemic.
Goheen has 520,000 followers on Instagram and is engaged to influencer Reece Hawkins, 25, who is widely known for his long relationship with model and influencer Tammy Hembrow, 26. Hawkins and Hembrow, who has 11.5 million Instagram followers, have two children together.
During the course of Hawkins' and Goheen's relationship, they have both been bullied, Goheen said in a recent Instagram story. Goheen told The Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday that she wanted to use OnlyFans as an escape from the hostility she's faced on Instagram.
"I have chosen to show detailed parts of my pregnancy on that platform because I've had to experience harassment and bullying for the last two years over my relationship with Reece," she said, according to The Mail.
Goheen's decision to use OnlyFans for her pregnancy updates comes in the wake of controversy on the platform over who should be using it.
Actress Bella Thorne recently came under fire for joining the site and earning $1 million in her first day. Thorne's record-breaking payday led to OnlyFans' decision on August 25 to limit the amount of money that can be charged and given as tips for pay-per-view photos and videos.
Goheen and a representative for OnlyFans did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.
Correction: This story originally appeared with a photo that incorrectly identified two people as Reece Hawkins and London Goheen. The photo has been changed.
