The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has received complaints that posters featuring Eliza Rose Watson featured adult sexual content.

“The advert was shown on several posters across London which was non-targeted media and was therefore likely to be seen by a large number of people, including children.

Speaking about the controversy sparked by the adverts, she said: “The billboards did their job – they did what they were supposed to do and that was just start a little conversation about it all. . “I deliberately did not place this near a school.
“I didn’t know there was a school nearby. “Child safety is a very valid argument but I think there is a huge lack of knowledge about what OnlyFans is.
“When people know there is massive regulation around children and the platform, they may see it differently.
“There were a few alcohol advertisements on the street. Parents know that kids can’t walk into a store and buy booze and it’s even harder to get into OnlyFans.
“When someone does something different, something new, especially when it comes to sexuality, there can be negative reactions.
“The purpose of the ad was to start talking about something that no one is really talking about.
“No one talks about healthy ways to use or not use social media. I thought this would be a small step towards removing that stigma and making it a little more popular with people.
