During a recent interview with Insider, popular TikToker Zoe Laverne revealed she sold photos of her newborn daughter online to fans in order to pay for her hospital bills, after she received criticism for the move.
“I knew that when Emersyn came early, I was going to be in the NICU [neonatal intensive care unit] for a while,” the 20-year-old told Insider. “Which means my income from socials was going to be put on hold for a little bit.”
Laverne, who has 21 million followers on TikTok, claims selling the photos was a “way to make money to pay for her extended stay in the hospital and spend more time and focus on her.”
Laverne continued, “So me and my team decided, well maybe if I made a link and people had to pay $15 to see her, that the haters—the people that wished death threats on her, or whatever—wouldn’t care enough to pay to see her and only my supporters that actually support me and love me would pay to see her.”
