Married At First Sight star Olivia Frazer has hit out at Bachelor couple Jimmy Nicholson and Holly Kingston after their controversial remarks about OnlyFans.
The 27-year-old, who turned to the adults-only website to make a living after losing her teaching job, slammed the pair during an Instagram Q&A on Wednesday.
She called Jimmy and Holly ‘tone deaf’ and ‘privileged’ for saying OnlyFans isn’t empowering and that reality stars should find a better way to earn money.

‘What do you think about Holly and Jimmy’s statement?’ a fan asked Olivia.
‘Not a fan of their statement at all,’ she replied. ‘I thought it was a huge slap in my face and came from a privileged and tone deaf place.
‘They very easily could have just left it at, “No judgement, [it’s] just not for us.”

‘But instead they went as far as to suggest that reality TV people who move on to do [OnlyFans] are bad influences to younger generations and money-hungry – not that there’s anything wrong with being money-hungry.’
She added that some reality stars just weren’t as lucky as Holly and Jimmy, who landed lucrative sponsorship deals after their stint on The Bachelor.
‘[It’s] very easy for them to sit in their expensive house, with their glowing edits, expensive dental work and all their many paid sponsorships and pass judgement on other reality TV people who weren’t so lucky,’ she said.

The couple sparked outrage last Tuesday when they said selling naked photos isn’t ’empowering’ and that reality TV stars should promote charities instead of ‘grabbing money’.
Despite receiving furious backlash – with the likes of Abbie Chatfield joining the pile-on – the pair defended their viewpoint in a statement on Instagram on Sunday.
They emphasised that they aren’t against sex work, but also won’t be bullied into saying it is ’empowering’ just because that is the politically correct opinion.

‘Over the last year, we have received literally hundreds of messages that have assumed that, because we met on a reality TV show, we would be setting up an OnlyFans account. We will not be,’ they said in a joint statement.
‘We have no issue with someone who freely and legally works in the sex industry, whether it is on OnlyFans or elsewhere.
‘However, like most of the people who have reached out to us, we don’t believe it is the best way to promote male/female empowerment to young people. That’s just our opinion.’
The pair went on to condemn cancel culture, revealing they’d been subjected to ‘abusive messages, character assassinations, cancellation attempts, death threats and a gross invasion of the basic human right to feel safe in our own home’.

‘We are not against OnlyFans. We are against a toxic trend that says it is okay to bully or “cancel” people you disagree with just because they have a different opinion to you. We think that is the real threat to empowering people in our society.’
The OnlyFans saga began last Tuesday when Jimmy and Holly were asked during a Q&A if they would ever consider becoming creators on the subscription website.
The pair slammed the X-rated platform and said reality stars are just trying to ‘grab money’ by selling nude photos and videos of themselves online.
‘We get this question a lot and we figured now is a good time to just answer it once and for all,’ Holly began.

‘No judgment towards anyone who does have OnlyFans, but I think there has been a little bit of a trend in people coming off reality shows and leveraging that degree of fame to then sell nudes online.’
Jimmy added that his issue with the increasing number of reality stars joining OnlyFans is that they claim they’re doing it for ‘female and male empowerment’.
‘I think that’s a load of c**p, personally,’ he quipped. ‘I think you should be a role model to the future generations.
‘If you want to celebrate male or female empowerment, start a charity, donate to breast cancer awareness or prostate cancer awareness,’ he continued.
‘I think it’s a way to grab money, and [you should] think about the example you’re setting for the future generations, for your kids when they’re in school.’
Holly then weighed in with her thoughts on the controversial subject.
‘Our view: Normalising selling naked photos on the internet doesn’t equal male/female empowerment,’ she wrote. ‘If this is your view, totally fine. Just won’t be something we’ll be doing. Thanks for coming to our TED Talk.’
