OnlyFans star uses earning to buy homes for low-income families in UK
Jan 26 2023 Share

Rebecca Goodwin, a rather famous OnlyFans content creator, has promised to use her earnings to help low-income families find homes and/or shelter. 

The Manc reported how Goodwin has vowed to purchase houses and rent them out to families struggling amid the cost of living crisis in the UK. 

The 28-year-old reportedly makes £100,000 per month, going on to announce her affordable housing scheme via Twitter earlier the week. 

She wrote how ‘the ball is now rolling with my ‘affordable housing scheme’. My plan is to buy eight properties outright and rent them out to low income families.’

She explained how one of the houses set to be rented out will be a ‘3 storey, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house with oof road parking for 2 cars, fully furnished, £650 a month.’

She explained further on Twitter to comments asking about the scheme, saying that she makes enough profit on onlyfans that she has no mortgages. 

‘Rent payments are 100% profit except (for) maintenance and insurance’ she said. ‘This is a side hustle that my kids can inherit. I’m not doing it to make me more money. I’m doing it to invest in my kids’ futures.’ 

Goodwin is a single mother who revealed that she and her kids were forced to live off food stamps before her career started bringing in money. She revealed that she would survive, along with her 11 and 4 year old daughters, on six bags of food provided by voucher stamps each week.

M&M’s retire their candy mascots amid controversy; Maya Rudolph to take their place

M&M's retire their candy mascots amid controversy; Maya Rudolph to take their place
Jan 26 2023 Share

For as long as we can remember, the M&M’s brand has been represented by a multi-coloured group of ‘spokescandies‘ but the globally-beloved chocolate brand broke the internet when they announced that the iconic mascots will be “indefinitely” retired.

That’s right, the colourful character mascots have been indefinitely removed from the M&M’s brand after a string of attempts to make the candies more inclusive and subsequent backlash from far-right conservative pundits like Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

A statement on M&M’s social media pages read as follows: “In the last year, we’ve made some changes to our beloved spokescandies. We weren’t sure if anyone would even notice. And we definitely didn’t think it would break the internet. But now we get it — even a candy’s shoes can be polarizing.”

Of course, the decision sent the internet into a frenzy, with public figures, personalities and internet users from across the globe contributing to the colourful commentary. One of the central points of discussion was the development of the Green M&M, which M&M’s parent company Mars Wrigley reportedly made efforts to make “less sexy” by giving her shorter legs and sneakers instead of high-heeled boots.

The candy mascots will be replaced by American actress Maya Rudolph, who has been called the new ‘chief of fun’.

What do you make of this decision? Do you think its an elaborate ploy or are the spokescandies gone for good?
