Olympian reveals how much she's earned on OnlyFans since twerking celebration went viral

One of the viral stars of the 2024 Paris Olympics has opened up on how much she has earned on OnlyFans after going viral for her twerking celebration.

Alysha Newman won bronze for Canada in the women's pole vault, smashing the Canadian record in the competition in the process.

Over the moon with her medal and record, the 30-year-old couldn't contain her excitement and went into full celebration mode, even if it was slightly NSFW.

Newman has since revealed what the celebration was about after pretending to be injured before breaking into the twerk.

Away from the athletics, the Canadian is an OnlyFans model after joining the subscription-based adult content platform prior to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

With her bronze medal celebration going viral, Newman told LADbible it has seen her subscribers on OnlyFans grow in the thousands.

"People ask me [how many new subscribers I've got] and I wish I could share it," she said.

"It's not that I can't share it, it's just that it keeps on going up. So every time I talk to someone and I re-log on there's another 5,000 people. I can't give an official number it's definitely times by that."

She said: "The last time I checked it was up by 30,000. So It just keeps on growing every day. I would hate to say something that's not true."

Despite being understandably coy on the total number given her newfound online fame following her athletics success, LADbible's rough maths puts her earnings from those 30,000 new subscribers alone at more than $230,000 (£178,000).

Newman currently charges $7.79 per subscription to her OnlyFans, and then there are the people who already subscribe to her in the time since the Tokyo Games.

Newman is now focusing her attention on the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, where she told us she wants to 'upgrade the colour of her medal'.

"I want to get a promotion on the podium," she said. "I'm really looking forward to LA 2028 and it's close to home. So if that ends up being my last, it would be a really cool experience for my family and friends - and my OnlyFans fans, because they'll be able to follow me there."

Newman also stood up for herself and her fellow Olympians who have moved into the OnlyFans world, with many of them doing it as a way to produce funding for their Olympic dreams when money can be so scarce.

She said: "People want you to represent in this one box but when we stick in that one box we can't make more movement. So I think a lot of athletes realise how individual the sports are and how hard it is to get to this level.

"And we want to be unique. Some of us want to be different.

"You have to give credit to people like me and GB diver [Jack Laugher] for wanting to push and make things change for amateur sport. It's a way to give people an opportunity and another route."
