For additional income, a medic was exposed by the New York Post over the weekend for posting photos on OnlyFans. Now, resentment to the story has seen $33,000 raised for the first responder Lauren Kwei Onlyfans and uncertainty on whether the story should have been published at all.
The article entitled as ‘NYC medic helped ‘make ends meet’ with racy OnlyFans side hustle’ tried to present something sleazy in that the 23-year-old had posted her pictures on the sultry adult verified site.
It offered a subscriber who recognised 32 posts by Kwei, and a voiceless FDNY paramedic whom morphed into a morality police to jeer at other initial servicemen, “make more money by working more extra hours than tearing off their undergarments.”
In the article, Kwei tried to do exactly that, and said to the Post: “What I do in my free time is my business. It has no relation to my capacity to tend to my patients. Major All I know when I am at work I am a Paramedic. I could say that I am fairly proficient at what I do.”
Indeed, as we shall find out, many others acceded to this perception. Critics on Twitter rushed to condemn the article, among them outspoken US congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who tweeted directly at the publication: ‘Leave her alone.’ But what is far more sensational for the headline – we should state ‘Medics in the United States need two jobs to survive.’ This tweet has 300,000+ likes than what the Post’s tweet of the story got.
Kwei herself said as much to the Post, telling the said reporter that she had removed her OnlyFans account with the aim of not losing her job in the middle of a pandemic and within three weeks to Christmas.
“We are seeking funds to help Lauren buy her freedom of choice and to support herself in her legal battles against the newspaper and in defending the job she dearly loves,” her friend posted on the GoFundMe.
Quite easily, within thirty-six hours, it gathered more than 1,500 participants who wanted to donate and the overall sum collected was $33,000, which was way more than the declared $5,000.
“Stay strong!” one of the donors wrote. ‘What no one should do to you is to shame you as the shame is due to those who tried to shame you.’ That you were not causing any harm to anyone but you were ONLY trying to feed yourself and your family because that front-line health care giver, helping save people’s lives does not earn enough to provide – which is actually shameful?
Another one wrote: “Because no one should live in fear of some fragile toad of a man ruining your life for a non-story.”
