"I just wanted a better life," said the 26-year-old, who has claimed to make anywhere from £600,000 to more than £1.5 million per month on the subscription-based platform.
In June, Bonnie announced a "petting zoo" event in which she would be tied up, clothesless, inside a glass box with the goal of sleeping with 2,000 men in 24 hours.
The site then terminated her account for violating its rules against "extreme challenges." Following backlash, she canceled the stunt, promising instead to host "the craziest, largest livestream ever."
Tian’s statements continued to spark debate about traditional career paths and adult sites like OF
