IG Model’s Account Gets Deactivated After Sending Nudes To Raise Money For Australia Bushfire Relief
A social media influencer has decided to help fight the Australia bushfires in a very interesting way.
Kaylen Ward, who also goes by “The Naked Philanthropist” says she raised an estimated $500,000 in just two days by offering naked photos in exchange for donations to wildfire relief funds. While speaking with Buzzfeed, Ward explained that since she already sells naked images of herself on her social media accounts, she might as well do the same for the cause after seeing devastating coverage of the blazes.
“I was expecting to raise maybe $1,000 but the tweet blew up,” she told BuzzFeed News on Sunday. “I was seeing all the posts on Twitter about the Australian fires and I was really concerned there wasn’t a lot of media coverage and not a lot of people donating,” she told the outlet.

Although it was a thoughtful move, Buzzfeed notes that Instagram has deleted her account because she violated their rules, since her photos were being shared. However, her Twitter account appears to be active and the news site notes that she has now hired a team of four people to help her sort through the thousands and thousands of DMs she’s received.

My IG got deactivated, my family disowned me, and the guy I like won’t talk to me all because of that tweet. But fuck it, save the koalas.

Apparently, the 20-year-old and her team have been working around the clock to verify donation confirmations as best they can and reply with the promised nude, and despite her IG account getting deleted and being “disowned” by her family, Ward vowed to keep the effort going.
