A woman has shared how a former classmate threatened her by demanding £1,000 in terrifying texts – or leak her OnlyFans account.
India Paarde, 24 from Adelaide, Australia, claims to have been subjected to blackmail after someone she thought was a friend threatened to out her saucy side gig to her social circle.
The full-time creator was approached by the person, not named, on 17 May through Snapchat, initially asking for advice on how to start a successful account on the adult content sharing site.
India proceeded to offer help but was soon met with a demand for money and told if she didn’t cough up the cash, he would share her account to her friends.
“My Snapchat is way more lit than ur Only Fan, u do,” wrote the so-called friend.
“I need 1k from u or I’ll show people ur photos. Remember we went to the same school so I know all ur peers.” [sic]
Despite the threats, rather than get upset, the model decided to share the man’s messages on her Instagram – and welcomed the “leak”.
“My reaction was to laugh, as I thought he was joking,” India told Need To Know.
“I [took a] screenshot what he had said and put this on my story with the caption: ‘Hahah when you’re this desperate for money you have to blackmail your friend.’
“I told him to show everything, as he’d only be promoting me [by doing this].
“I was helping him and giving tips as I do to anyone who asks, when he suddenly flipped on me.
“I wondered why [he] switched on me all of a sudden after I was helping him so much to get his account started.
“I had been [talking to] him at least a week prior to that.
“I believe he reached out a few weeks before that message was sent, as I think he wanted us to go back and forth so he seemed very appreciative.”
India, who boasts 8,000 followers on Instagram, shared the messages on her social media but has decided against taking legal action – for now.
She added: “I blocked him after these messages, but I haven’t gone to the police as I doubt there’s much they can do.
“It’s just threats, but I might [still] consider this as it’s very odd.”
