That is the height of audacity.
The world’s tallest model and former Olympic medallist claims that she lost out on a chance to win $500,000 after explicit content from her OnlyFans was stolen and reposted on social media platform Discord.
Ekaterina Lisina is 6 feet 9 inches tall. The world’s tallest catwalker A Guinness World Record holder and former man known for having the longest legs has taken to court to expose online thieves.
“This is one of my most explicit videos, which is why it was valuable,” Lisina, 36, whose pins are about 52 inches long, told The Washington Post.
Lisina said the stolen video, which she was selling on OnlyFans for $36, had been viewed more than 16,000 times on a Discord forum called “Tall Women Appreciation.”
“It forced me to be more clear,” she said.
“They have made me work harder because people are watching this for free.
Her paid views on OnlyFans “started to drop immediately after the video was leaked,” said Lisina, a former professional basketball player and member of her native Russia’s national team. Bronze Medal Team At the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Lisina believes at least three videos and seven sets of photos have been stolen and reposted elsewhere over the past three months.
Lisina, who also runs an agency for tall models, said she joined OnlyFans about four years ago but initially steered clear of explicit content.
“I started OnlyFans wearing lingerie,” she said.
“But I was in good shape at the time and I wanted to make some extra money so I decided to pose nude.”
“I do art nudes, I show my whole body naked, but I don’t do porn,” she explained.
“My income has increased at least five-fold,” she said of her decision to switch to natural hair a few months ago.
In a lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court, she said the theft has caused her “severe financial hardship” and asked a judge to force Discord to reveal the identity of those who stole her clips.
She believes the perpetrators were working for a rival modeling agency and were trying to drive traffic to their own site by stealing others’ content.
“By going to that forum, people are strongly encouraged to share explicit material,” said Ms Lisina’s lawyer, Alex Lonstein.
“They give you more access to the forum depending on how much you share. All of that content has been stolen or reposted without the proper licensing.”
Lonstein said the problem of online piracy is deep-rooted.
“Stricter anti-piracy regulations are needed as the scope of copyright law goes beyond what it was intended to achieve,” the lawyers said.
