Ebanie Bridges, the Australian boxing sensation known as the “Blonde Bomber,” has recently found herself in the middle of a heated debate following her decision to join OnlyFans, the well-known premium content platform.

Bridges, who held the IBF female bantamweight championship until late 2023, transitioned to OnlyFans to share more intimate glimpses of her life, sparking significant backlash from both fans and critics.

Why Has Ebanie Bridges Joined OnlyFans?

Bridges’ move to OnlyFans was motivated by financial and personal reasons. She explained that the income from boxing alone was not enough, especially given the irregular nature of fight opportunities. Through OnlyFans, she can ensure a steady income without relying solely on the uncertainties of boxing. Bridges emphasized that OnlyFans allows her to share her personal life and engage with her fans more intimately, offering content that she does not share on other social media platforms​.

Backlash and Criticism

Despite her reasons, Bridges has faced significant criticism for her involvement with OnlyFans. Detractors argue that her participation in the platform undermines her professional reputation as a boxer. 

Critics have labeled her decision as inappropriate and demeaning, highlighting the stigma still attached to OnlyFans and its content creators. This backlash underscores the broader societal judgments and double standards faced by women, especially those in high-profile careers who choose to share content on such platforms​.

“People are small-minded,” said Bridges.

Bridges’ Response to the Backlash

In response to the criticism, Bridges has been forthright and unapologetic. She later posted on social media to defend her decision, calling out the hypocrisy and small-mindedness of her critics. Bridges pointed out that many athletes, both male and female, use OnlyFans, yet she seems to receive disproportionate scrutiny. 

She argued that her financial independence and ability to engage directly with her fans are empowering, and she refuses to let societal judgments dictate her choices. Bridges firmly stated that her participation in OnlyFans does not diminish her achievements in the ring or her dedication to her sport​.

“People complain I do OnlyFans – even tho SO MANY BOXERS (female and male) ALSO DO ONLYFANS but they don’t complain and discredit those boxers.. just me,” Bridges wrote on X.

“Im so blessed I have people that enjoy supporting me and seeing my personal life, exclusively, cos the reality is I don’t show nothing about my life or personal life on socials.
