Olympic pole vaulter Alysha Newman is paying no mind to critics over her OnlyFans endeavors.
Newman — who became a viral sensation Wednesday after celebrating her bronze-medal finish in the women’s pole vault final by twerking in front of the Stade de France crowd — spoke to German publication BILD about her presence on the subscription fan site, where roughly 65,000 users have “liked” her profile.
“Of course, many people have a certain cliché when they think of OnlyFans. I can’t change many people’s minds,” Newman, 30, said.

“… But this website has connected me with many fans, more than any other pole vaulter before. What others think about it doesn’t bother me. I am who I am and I do it well.”
Newman posts “a lot of [her] training sessions” on OnlyFans, with BILD reporting it costs $7.14 to view her page during the Paris Games versus a monthly subscription of $12.99.
