STANDING in her kitchen, Alysha Newman poses in a skimpy red bikini for a series of daring photos.

As she shares selected tracks on her OnlyFans account, she watches the messages flood in from her fans.

However, Alysha, 30, is not an aspiring model or a budding Love Island contestant, but rather an accomplished sportswoman.

Alysha is an Olympic star who won the bronze medal in the women’s pole vault at the Paris Olympics.

But while she’s undoubtedly proud of her sporting achievements, Alysha says there’s no reason she shouldn’t be just as proud of her OnlyFans account.

In an exclusive conversation with Fabulous she said: “It’s an amazing platform, I love it.

“I am proud of what I have achieved on the platform. It is empowering.

“I can connect with my fans, I can inspire people, and my fans can support me.

“This way they can see almost every aspect of my life.”

OnlyFans is often mistaken for a pornography advertising site, but Alysha, who lives in London, Canada, says there is much more to it.

“There’s a lot of stigma attached to it,” he says.

“But it’s not just about naked porn stars. People don’t realise that there are so many world-class chefs, athletes, including medal-winning rowers and divers, DJs and Formula One drivers who have their own sites.

“I create content, I message fans, I do live streams, so I can connect and find out what people want to see and know.”

Alysha made headlines at the Paris Games when she celebrated clearing 4.85 metres in the pole vault by twerking.

“It was spontaneous and joyful,” he says.

“The jump of 4.85 meters meant that I broke the Canadian record. It was my 15th record jump and I was so happy.

“I started dancing and ended up twerking.

“Winning an Olympic medal was my childhood dream and I finally did it at the age of 30. I was excited, so I celebrated.”

Alysha’s jump also earned her a bronze medal, making her the first Canadian to win an Olympic medal in this sport.

“My motto is to raise the bar. I’ve been doing that my whole life,” he says.

Within hours, she raised the bar another notch and set another record.

Her Only Fans page went down due to the overwhelming number of people who signed up after seeing her jump and triumphant dance.

Alysha tells us that since then her OF membership has skyrocketed, with another 30,000 followers paying £10 a month to watch content, both racy and professional, and to interact with her.

He also boasts 752,000 followers on Instagram and 52,000 on TikTok.

“I don’t want people to pay just to see me. I want people to log in and learn something,” he says.

Alysha started her Only Fans page in 2020 ahead of the Tokyo Olympics.

“I started the account to document my Olympic experience since there were no spectators at the Tokyo Games due to COVID-19 precautions,” she says.

“I started the account to take people behind the scenes of gaming. They could see what I ate, how I exercised, and follow my highs and lows.”

If you insult me, I won’t answer you

Alysha’s fans got a glimpse of what life is really like in the Olympic Village thanks to her unique OF fan perspective.

She talked about her struggles with injuries, how she prepares for the day of the event, what she eats and what she wears.

“I feel very positive about the energy of the people and the crowd,” he says.

“Knowing that it wouldn’t be at the Tokyo Olympics, it was an incredible solution.

“It went so well that I said OK, my fans want to know more. So 16 days turned into a year, which turned into two years, and I decided to take people to the Paris Games.”

Alysha admitted that she initially had some apprehensions about joining the platform.

“My first conversation was with my family,” she recalls.

I said, “I know there are a lot of stereotypes behind this website and this is new to me, but what do you think?”

“I remember my sister saying, ‘If you don’t try, how will you know?’

“And she was right. If I hadn’t gone then, I wouldn’t go now. Clearly something spoke to me and completely changed my life.

“I’ve said for years that I could be the person to change the stereotype about OnlyFans.

“I know I can’t change everyone’s mindset, that’s not my goal.

“Now I vlog on my OF and even my mom talked about what it’s like to raise an Olympic athlete. It’s a place where I can be myself and share my life.”

Alysha admits that some people sign up for her Only Fans page to troll her.

“If you insult me, I won’t answer you,” he replies.

“I love connecting with like-minded people on my page.”

Olympic officials have never complained about Alysha’s success on OnlyFans.

In fact, she takes pride in showing other athletes how OnlyFans can help them.

“For me, it was important to show other athletes that they can join and that it can be a safe community,” he says.

“Other athletes saw the content I posted and were shocked because they expected something different based on their perception of the site.”

Alysha admits that she loves taking part in spicy and risky photoshoots, which she uses as content for the OF section of her website.

“I did some photos for Agent Provocateur where I was pole-vaulting in my underwear,” she says.

“This was one of the coolest photo shoots. It was a women’s shoot, and it was handled exclusively by women.

“To spice things up a bit, I also did body painting.”

She admits that she has received some unusual requests from fans.

“I always get weird requests,” he admits.

“I enjoy what people ask for, it gives me good insight into what they think of me.

“A lot of people have asked me for pictures of all my medals lined up in a row – they love that kind of stuff.”

But Alysha is not an open book when people ask if they can expect full nudity on her site.

“People want to know what I’m putting out there. I think what keeps my page going is not telling people what I’m putting out there,” he admits.

“I’m confident and self-assured. You have to sign up to see what’s there.”
