Miesha Tate received blowback for her thoughts on making an OnlyFans account and now she’s clearing the air.
Tate received some flak after joking that she wasn’t desperate enough to make an OnlyFans account during an interview with Shakiel Mahjouri. Many female fighters pushed back at the remark including Julia Avila and Pearl Gonzalez.
This is what Julia Avila said in a comment responding to a post on Tate’s comment.
“This is aggravating. Yes women have an OnlyFans and what of it? Maybe they want attention. Maybe they want an extra dollar. Maybe they just WANT TO CELEBRATE THEIR WOMANHOOD AND HOW F*CKING GORGEOUS THEY ARE. It’s not our place to judge or to tear down another woman for it. Fix your crown queen before casting stones on another because, honey, NONE of us are without fault and it’s a hard f*cking world without having to tear one another down. Rather than criticizing how about, ‘it’s not for me,’ plain and simple.”
Pearl Gonzalez took to her Twitter account to respond to Tate.
“Saying that platform doesn’t meet my business brand would have been suffice. I don’t see anything desperate w/300k + a mo!! If vip content platforms were available 10 yrs ago, what convo would we be having 2day? All my ladies out there hustlin, I see u!!”
