A provocative model claims that she is now receiving more online harassment than ever before, and she believes Elon Musk is responsible for it. Holly Morgan Moore stated that she is being targeted by bot accounts more frequently since the Tesla CEO took control of Twitter in 2022, rebranding it as X.
Recently, Musk faced criticism from the wife of Alexei Navalny after her account was temporarily suspended for accusing Vladimir Putin of murder, a move many deemed unjust. However, Morgan, a mother of two, has a different issue with Musk. She believes that X has become a more hostile social media platform since his takeover.
In a message to her 310,000 followers, she expressed, "The bots on all my posts have significantly increased since Elon Musk took over. Additionally, the amount of abuse I receive has also escalated."
The Yorkshire-based content creator then shared a provocative selfie with the caption "me or a Tesla", revealing that she prefers her BMW IX3 over an electric car.
In response, another OnlyFans model named Shein Airfryer complained about receiving numerous bot responses. Other users also expressed frustration with bots flooding their notifications.
One fan criticized the platform for attracting far-right individuals, while another lamented the decline in quality since it rebranded as X.
Despite the negativity, some users dismissed the haters as insignificant.
Twitter insiders previously told BBC that the company was unable to protect users from trolling due to significant layoffs during Musk's leadership. However, Musk later claimed that Twitter had removed 40,000 accounts in one month to enhance safety, stating that deleting bots would reduce the spread of fake news.
Despite this, Morgan shared a disturbing message she received from an anonymous bot, highlighting the daily abuse she faces. The message insulted her worth as a human being and her source of income, suggesting she had no talent or contribution to society. The message also attacked her personal life, stating she would never find love or get married.
Morgan signed up for OnlyFans in December 2019 and shared with Daily Star how she has caused trouble for several individuals in the past by sending screenshots of abusive messages to their employers. She mentioned that while no one criticizes her job in person, they feel they can say whatever they want online without facing consequences.
The bold performer stated, "I have only faced abuse online. The most common insult I receive is 'I bet your dad's proud', which I find amusing because he was tragically killed in an unprovoked attack when I was 17. He cannot be proud or not proud when he has been deceased for nine years."
Initially starting her risqué subscription service for fun, Morgan quickly gained popularity and even caught the attention of some well-known personalities. She even exposed an EastEnders actor for repeatedly messaging her on social media.
Dean Gaffney, known for his role as Robbie Jackson on EastEnders, has been accused of sending ‘cringey DMs' to OnlyFans girls. One of the recipients, a model named Morgan, shared her experience of being contacted by Gaffney in 2020. She initially ignored his messages but eventually told him to “bore off” and blocked him. Despite this, Gaffney later messaged her on her backup Instagram account, prompting Morgan to ask him to stop contacting her.
According to Morgan, many other OnlyFans girls have also received messages from Gaffney. She believes that he either cannot accept rejection or has messaged so many women that he cannot keep track of who has blocked him or told him to stop. She expressed concern for Gaffney's well-being, stating that his behavior is not healthy.
When approached for comment before the story was published, Dean Gaffney’s representatives declined to provide a statement.
