Danya reacting on an online media article that 'accuses' Danya of being gay and getting rich from it by exposing himself on the Internet and to the Western world:
- translated from Russian language -
"Let's start with the fact that I didn't choose my audience. I was filming the usual, as in my opinion, tiktoks, lipsings, just for fun, but they abruptly started to go viral for English-speaking audiences.
For this I was punished by being expelled from college. After that I didn't stop and developed social networks further, trying to make money from it.
Seeing the positive comments about my appearance (including men's) I decided to make money on it (Fansly) even though I realised that it was not the best thing I could do.
What they write on the Internet about earning (30 million) is a fake, Fansly does not work like that, mostly there are free subscriptions and very few people who bought a paid subscription.
To attract more paid subscriptions I had to show more of myself, but I still knew the limits and didn't go overboard. My earnings are much less than this figure given in the posts.
This type of income is temporary and I was slowly trying to end it because I didn't want my girlfriend, my family, my community to be affected by it, but at the same time, I wanted to give them everything.
I didn't choose my audience. I posted pictures with my girlfriend many times, I never hid my relationship. But my audience didn't accept it and judged me for not being gay*, my followers wrote bad things to my girlfriend, threats, insults because they couldn't accept my orientation.
I'm not making excuses for myself, I've had my fill and I'm going to try to make it right. now I need time, to find myself in something else and just deal with it all. I'm sorry.
