From canoes to nudes: Team GB star Kurt Adams claims Olympic ban over ‘edgy' OnlyFans hustle that saved him from homelessness
British canoeist says OnlyFans income saved him from homelessness, but cost him his Olympic dream British canoeist Kurt Adams Rozentals, 22, is in controversy after being suspended from Paddle UK's World Class Programme, jeopardizing his aspirations for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The suspension follows his creation of an OnlyFans account, a subscription-based platform often associated with adult content, which he started in January to supplement his limited athlete funding. Rozentals, who earned a silver medal in the C1 event at the 2023 World Under-23 Championships, has been part of Paddle UK's elite training program, receiving an annual grant of £16,000. He argues that this amount is insufficient to cover the costs of training, travel, and living expenses, especially given the high cost of living in London. "Trying to live on the salary Paddle UK pays their athletes is near impossible," he stated on Instagram. "I was sick of worrying how to pay rent, I was sick of being on the verge of homelessness." To alleviate his financial burdens, Rozentals turned to OnlyFans, where he has reportedly earned over £100,000 since January. He has posted 39 videos and more than 100 photos on the platform, which has garnered over 10,000 likes. His content, described as "edgy," includes nude images sent directly to subscribers. Rozentals received a call from a Paddle UK representative in April informing him of his suspension from the second and final part of the GB team selections. He was also banned from communicating with his coach, staff, and teammates. Paddle UK confirmed that an athlete is under interim action pending the outcome of an investigation, stating, "Paddle UK can confirm that in line with our Athlete Disciplinary Policy, an athlete on the canoe slalom programme is under interim action, pending the outcome of an investigation." The investigation has been referred to the independent service Sport Integrity. The governing body's Athlete Disciplinary Policy lists "offensive use of social media" and "indecent, offensive or immoral behaviour" as examples of gross misconduct that could lead to de-selection. However, Paddle UK emphasized that the suspension is a "neutral act designed to protect all parties" and not a disciplinary action. Rozentals expressed his frustration and disappointment, stating, "This is the hardest decision that I've ever faced in my life." He added, "To ban me from racing? To ban me from speaking to my teammates like I'm some criminal? That's f**king insane." He highlighted the sacrifices his family has made, noting that his mother works 90 hours a week and that they have faced financial hardships, including the threat of remains suspended and unable to train or compete. He faces a difficult decision: continue his OnlyFans venture to maintain financial stability or cease his activities on the platform in hopes of reinstatement. "Unless something changes in the way athletes are paid, I don't see a way of working with Paddle UK," he remarked.

Aussie traveller risked $2,100 fine packing personal item for a 'good time'
While packing for her overseas holiday to visit family, 28-year-old Andy decided last minute to throw her vibrator into her hand luggage. Little did she know the decision could have cost her $2,100. The Sydney woman travelled to Abu Dhabi at the start of the month and told Yahoo News she noticed extra security as she was exiting the international airport. She admitted it felt unusual at the time, but after the 14-hour flight, she shrugged it off and walked through to greet her brother. It was only later that she realised she could have had a run-in with authorities. "I was talking about the security with my brother and he said, 'You know they have those extra scanners there on the lookout for contraband'," she recalled to Yahoo News. When she asked what items were considered illegal, suggesting possibly cigarettes or alcohol, her brother replied: "You know, like sex toys". "It kind of took me a hot minute to remember, he was so blasé about it... but I was like, hold on, I had a vibrator in my bag." Andy believes she managed to get away with carrying the item into the country purely because of its unconventional shape, with the palm vibrator mostly flat and designed to look inconspicuous. "At least it doesn't look like a straight-up dildo," she joked. "I dodged a bullet because the scanner must not have picked up what it was." ✋ OnlyFans model reportedly has Australian visa cancelled over controversial schoolies plan 👀 Dog walker 'horrified' by pet's phallic find at Aussie park 😲 Aussie model defends X-rated 'billboard' stunt Despite being able to laugh about it now — with her and her vibrator safely home in Australia — Andy has since warned travellers to be more vigilant of local laws in international countries before jetting off on holiday. "It's a country that grounds itself in religion, so it's fair enough," she said. "Just take note of it when you go overseas when you're actually stopping over in places like Abu Dhabi and anywhere in the Middle East. Maybe just double-check the laws of what they consider illegal." Sex toys are a prohibited good in several Middle Eastern and Asian countries. The United Arab Emirates, such as Abu Dhabi and Dubai, as well as Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Maldives all have strict laws on sex toys. Travellers caught buying, selling or having the items in their possession can face criminal action, with Andy dodging a $2,100 fine in Abu Dhabi. So the question is — was it worth it? Andy's answer was a resounding no. "Listen, probably not, no," she laughed. "The UAE has very different laws so I'd rather not get fined or kicked out of the country just for having a good time. "Be on the safe side, don't take it." Do you have a story tip? Email: newsroomau@ You can also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube.

Vivek Dahiya on if he will ever be on OnlyFans; says ‘Never say never'
In a recent chat, actor Vivek Dahiya got candid about his evolving career, aspirations, and whether fans could ever see him on platforms like OnlyFans. When host Shardul Pandit posed the cheeky question about joining the adult-content subscription service, Vivek initially appeared puzzled. Shardul then explained that OnlyFans is a platform primarily used by adult entertainers, where creators earn millions by showcasing exclusive content. With a smile and a shrug, Vivek replied, 'Never say never. I'm open to everything. You never know what gets into me one fine day.' His spontaneous response left the room in splits, but it also revealed the actor's open-minded and curious approach toward life and work.

Even if Divyanka (his wife) gives me two things to do, I fail. I need to finish one task before taking up another—maybe even Bigg Boss someday.' Balancing his creative ambitions with a grounded approach to life, Vivek credits much of his stability to his strong bond with wife Divyanka Tripathi .

British canoeist forced to decide between Olympic dream and OnlyFans
Canoeist Kurts Adams Rozentals has a decision to make — his OnlyFans or the Olympics. The British athlete was reportedly suspended last month by governing body Paddle UK, and he suspects it has something to do with his racy activity online. 'I have been posting videos (on Instagram) that are consciously made to be edgy in order to drive conversions to my 'spicy content page' (on OnlyFans), to fund this ultimate dream of going to the Olympics,' Rozentals said in an interview with BBC Sport. Rozentals was removed from the World Class Programme, an initiative for potential Olympic athletes, by Paddle UK pending investigation, leaving his canoeing dreams up in the air. 'I kind of froze and I couldn't believe the words I was hearing because this is what I put my life into this is everything I do,' Rozentals told the outlet of the moment he heard the news. 'My personality at this point, my identity, is sport and I want to be a professional athlete chasing my Olympic dream.' BBC Sport reported Rozentals 'has more than 10,000 'likes' on the platform and 'has posted 39 videos and over 100 photos' earning more than '$A209,560 since creating his OnlyFans account in January.' 'This is the hardest decision that I've ever faced in my life,' Rozentals said. 'I came to the realisation about why I started doing this last winter after years of struggle, living on the edge, my mum working 90 hours-a-week, having bailiffs at the door.' 'I'm going to find a way where we don't have to struggle, where my mum can enjoy her life and I'm able to put everything into this sport because when you're thinking about how to pay the rent this month and you're standing at the start line, that's not very conducive (to performing well).' As a UK Paddle Programme athlete, Rozentals had been receiving $A33,529 - but said that's nowhere near enough to sustain himself.' 'I don't know how much you need but it's certainly not $A33,529,' said Rozentals. 'When you have to cover rent, travel, food… and most athletes who train full-time are all living in London.' 'They're very fortunate to have parent backing — I wasn't. I never had the ability to move to London because of financial struggles so I was always doing the travel from the East Midlands, where I live, to London, back-and-forth, back-and-forth.'
