Former politician George Santos had previously joked about starting an OnlyFans account during a podcast interview in May. When asked by Page Six if he was serious, Santos vehemently denied the idea and threatened to sue if the news outlet reported it. He criticized the Post and insisted that he would never participate in such activities on the racy site.
Page Six responded by emphasizing the need to double-check the information provided by Santos and clarified that they never implied he would be engaging in adult content on OnlyFans. Despite Santos’ denials, the publication maintained that they did not doubt the possibility of him starting an OnlyFans account, citing market forces as a potential motivation.
Santos continued to dismiss the concerns raised by Page Six, accusing them of creating fictional stories about his life. In response, the publication reiterated the importance of verifying information before publishing it and highlighted their commitment to reporting the truth. The exchange between Santos and Page Six became increasingly contentious as both parties stood by their respective positions.
Despite his previous denials, Santos confirmed on Thursday that he was indeed starting an OnlyFans page. He clarified that the account would not feature any adults-only content and announced the launch of the page, which would be available for a monthly subscription fee of $29.99. Santos’ decision to create an OnlyFans account marked a departure from his initial joking tone on the podcast interview.
The incident involving George Santos and Page Six showcased the challenges of verifying information and reporting on public figures accurately.
