Ava Louise, the OnlyFans star who went viral after flashing onlookers in Dublin via the Portal in New York City, spoke with Irish radio host Gary Brennan on Ireland’s Classic Hits Radio on Monday night, May 20.
“The first thing I thought when I saw that Portal was, ‘Wow, I need to flash my boobs,'" Ava Louise said on the Irish radio show.
And flash she did. She filmed the stunt, which she performed right before the Portal was shut down due to what officials deemed some "inappropriate behavior." (It has since reopened with limited hours.)
Based in Jersey City just outside of New York City, Ava Louise is a model on the platform OnlyFans, where she says users can sell naked pictures, sex tapes, and messages.
In a video she uploaded to social media after her flash, Ava Louise claimed she "got the Portal shut down."
She says in her video (that does not show the 'full flash): "I thought the people of Dublin deserved to see my two, New York homegrown, potatoes."
The stunt paid off - Ava Louise says her OnlyFans subscribers have more than doubled from 50k to 114k.
There were several instances of "inappropriate behavior" on both sides of the Portal since its launch on May 8, but it was Ava Louise who perhaps went the most viral, drawing attention in both Irish and American media.
When asked if she meant to cause an international incident, Ava Louise simply said “yes I did.”
She added: “I knew it would go viral and that's really good for my OnlyFans, so I did it."
However, she went on to admit: "I was actually pretty surprised at how big it got.
"But I think the reason it got as big as it did was because the Portal actually got shut down five minutes after I showed my boobs.
“If they didn’t shut the Portal down right after I did it, I don’t think it would have gotten as big as it got.”
Ava Louise, who has never been to Ireland, said people were laughing, clapping, and filming when she flashed Dublin from New York City via the Portal.
Recalling the reaction she received from the Dublin side, she said: “There was an older woman standing at the front who turned quite red, but otherwise, they looked like they were having a great time too.”
Ava Louise said there were “quite a few Irish guys” who have subscribed to her page after she flashed Dublin. She added that it’s “very rare” for women to subscribe to OnlyFans.
Later in the interview, Irish OnlyFans star Ava Van Rose, who is in her 30s, joined the conversation, telling Ava Louise that she thought the flashing was “so funny.”
In a cheeky reference to Ava Louise’s viral social media posts, Ava Van Rose said with a laugh: “I don’t have potatoes, I have homegrown Irish watermelons.”
The two OnlyFans models both seemed to be game for a "crossover" between Dublin and New York City, though they were hesitant about the rules surrounding public nudity, especially in Ireland.
“I would be willing to … I think we have different regulations over here [in Ireland] and I don’t want to be arrested," Ava Van Rose said. (Women can legally go topless in New York City.)
The two OnlyFans stars went on to discuss the reaction to the Dublin-NYC flash.
“Ava obviously got a little bit of bad backlash, but at the same time, she did it properly, in my opinion," Ava Van Rose said.
"She did it, and she did it when it was dark out where she was and there were only a handful of people at the Irish Portal and she got what she needed to get done.
“She was a complete genius the way she did it, it was brilliant, she knew what she was doing. Girl had it wrapped up. It was an amazing promotion for herself.”
Ava Louise said: “No one’s offended by anything anyone’s been doing. I don’t know why the organizers felt the need to shut it down when everyone thought it was funny. I don’t think there was any harm done, ever.”
Ava Rose added: “Unfortunately, that’s the Irish mentality we’re dealing with here. We’re a small bit behind in considering stuff like that. Just our newspaper talking about me and you in it got so much hatred and you’re like, why?
"We haven’t even done anything yet, we’re only talking about, and these people were ready to jump on a bandwagon of insults and horrible phrases.
“I don’t see the badness in it myself. It’s funny.”
Ava Louise agreed: “I think that a lot of people just are bored and want a reason to hate. If they were there at the Portal when I flashed them, they would have loved every second of it and thought it was funny.
"But people like to be keyboard warriors and say weird things; behind a screen they feel a lot braver.”
