'Leave Her Alone': AOC, Netizens Rip NY Post For Exposing Medic's OnlyFans Side-Gig

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) publicly lambasted the New York Post on Sunday in defense of Lauren Kwei, a 23-year-old medic in New York City who chose to become an adult content

creator on OnlyFans. 

The outlet provided readers with the 23-year-old medic's first, middle and last name, as well as her height, weight and place of employment. 

"Leave her alone," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, adding, "The actual scandalous headline here is 'Medics in the United States need two jobs to survive'".

“The bottom line: I don’t get paid a lot. I’m just trying to make ends meet,” Kwei told The Post prior to publication. “I truly don’t think this has anything to do with being a paramedic.”

It appears that the New York Post did not pay the $11.99 fee to access Kwei's content. Instead, the outlet references using second-hand information from "a subscriber to Kwei's site." 

While Kwei has received over $44,000 in pledged donations, her primary job is ultimately now in jeopardy. Termination would mean the 23-year-old would lose "her ability to help support her

family," including her "extremely ill" father, according to the fundraising campaign. 

The New York Post issued an update, claiming that Kwei scrubbed her OnlyFans of all content on Friday.  

Kwei's transparency was ultimately used against her, as the outlet not only quoted the policy in question, but also issued multiple requests for comment to company representatives.
