A war of words has erupted between two of Australia’s most prominent TikTok influencers, with Mikaela Testa slamming Anna Paul of running an online cash giveaway linked to her OnlyFans.
Testa, 24, made the initial claims in a since-deleted Instagram story, calling out an unnamed individual for running what she described as a “gross” competition designed to incentivise sign-ups to her OnlyFans account.
Though she did not initially mention Paul by name, the timing of her post came just hours after Paul, 25, launched a cash giveaway through her Instagram account.
“If you have to incentivise people to buy your exclusive website by running cash giveaways on there and then posting screenshots to your IG so your followers spend $10 to hopefully win $1000 ... It’s gross,” Testa wrote.
Paul, who boasts over 7.2 million followers on TikTok, had posted a series of Instagram Stories on Sunday showing herself transferring money to followers who had subscribed to her exclusive content service.
Some users received as much as $1000 in what was framed as a token of appreciation.
Testa has since gone on to name Paul in her Instagram stories and her Tiktok videos, further bashing Paul’s business tactics.
“Watching her fans scramble over scraps, fighting each other because they need these funds while she films it.
“This is out of touch.”
The dispute has reignited speculation among the influencers’ followers about lingering tensions between the two influencers, who were previously linked through Testa’s past relationship with Paul’s brother, Atis.
Both women are from the Gold Coast.
While Testa has previously publicly denied any ongoing feud, her latest comments suggest underlying friction remains.
The controversy has divided fans, with some supporting Testa’s criticism while others defended Paul’s business practices.
“I hope Anna fades back into oblivion where she belongs,” one commenter wrote.
