Sydney Thomas goes viral after the Paul-Tyson fight but faces backlash over fake OnlyFans accounts. Here’s how she’s addressing the controversy.
The Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight wasn’t just about the big names in the ring. The November event shattered streaming records, with over 108 million viewers tuning in on Netflix. But not even the clash of legends could outshine Sydney Thomas, the stunning ring girl whose viral presence stole the show.
After the fight, Sydney went viral overnight, but the attention wasn’t without its complications. Rumors and fake profiles claiming she had an OnlyFans account began circulating online, sparking confusion and controversy. In a candid Instagram Story, Sydney addressed the situation head-on.
“I’m not on OnlyFans, and I don’t have any plans to join. It’s wild seeing all these fake accounts using my name.
Fake Accounts and Real Problems
Sydney’s striking presence in the ring captivated viewers, with her name trending across social media within hours. In an interview with Us Weekly on Tuesday, November 19, Sydney revealed she earned more than 350,000 new followers on both Instagram and TikTok overnight.
Sydney’s meteoric rise to fame came with a downside—fake profiles. As her popularity surged, impostors flooded social media with accounts claiming to offer exclusive content from her. The most notable of these were fake OnlyFans profiles, some of which used her name and photos to scam fans.
These fake profiles not only misled her followers but also created confusion about her stance on platforms like OnlyFans. Sydney has since taken steps to report the impersonators and warned her fans to be cautious when engaging with unofficial accounts.
“People are creating fake profiles pretending to be me, and it’s so frustrating. I don’t want my fans being scammed by people using my name.”
Setting the Record Straight
Sydney, who has also worked as a brand ambassador for Fashion Nova, wasn’t as well-known as some of the more seasoned ring girls before the fight. But everything changed that night. Her natural beauty and stunning presence captivated fans, and her social media following doubled almost overnight. As rumors swirled, many speculated that Sydney had her own OnlyFans account.
To address the rumors, Sydney shared an Instagram story from her bathroom, directly confronting the OnlyFans controversy. Even with the sudden fame and financial opportunities, Sydney emphasized that she’s not interested in joining OnlyFans at this time. Her decision stems from wanting to keep her career on her terms, without jumping into something she’s not fully comfortable with.
“I don’t judge anyone who has an OnlyFans. It’s just not for me right now.”
