‘It was insane’: Wild money reality behind viral flashing stunt

When a 26-year-old woman went viral for flashing, she had no idea how much it would impact her income.

When Ava Louise flashed her chest during an NFL game, she had no idea how directly it would impact her income.

Ms Louise told news.com.au that once the clip of her at the New York Giants and New Orleans Saints game went viral, her income increased by six figures within a month.

The American explained that she was previously “coasting”, earning between $70,000 and $100,000 a month on an X-rated online platform.

Once that footage went viral, the money poured in.

“I made $100,000 in just a week. It was insane,” she said.

Ms Louise later claimed that an anonymous NFL player paid her to attend the game and flash her chest to distract the opposing team.

The 26-year-old has become known as a flasher; she gained viral fame in September of last year for flashing during an election campaign rally for Donald Trump.

She also went viral for claiming she was the woman who flashed the portal stream between New York and Dublin, an art installation that allowed New Yorkers and Dublin locals to see each other in real-time.

That particular flash went so viral that she appeared on Piers Morgan’s show and defended her actions, claiming it was a simple marketing tactic.

“Why did you do it?” Mr Morgan asked.

“I did it because I have an OnlyFans, and I thought it was a great way to market my OnlyFans,” she replied.

Mr Morgan went on to claim that some people found her flashing “disgusting, insensitive and inappropriate”, but Ms Louise maintained that seeing a pair of bare breasts isn’t a big deal.

The 26-year-old admitted to news.com.au that there’s a lot of hate that comes with her viral stunts.

“There was a lot of hate, but truly, I don’t care. They’re just boobs, I don’t know why people are so offended by boobs,” she said.

“⁠I couldn’t care less about hate. As long as I’m making money, they can keep hating.”

The 26-year-old said that, at the end of the day, every time she goes viral for flashing she ends up making more money.

The desire to make a lot of money now stems from the fact she’s very aware this won’t last forever.

“I actually don’t splurge much and all of my money gets invested right away. I understand that OnlyFans and social media influencing might not be forever, so I live way below my means and invest every dime,” she said.

Ms Louise also has big plans for herself financially that go far beyond earning $100,000 in a week.

“I’ll be worth over $100 million by the time I’m 60, and to me, that’s worth every hate comment I ever gotten,” she said.
