If nothing else, Lil Tay’s tale is an intriguing cautionary tale of the perilous seductiveness of the ‘influencer generation’. How it sucks girls in. How it tricks them. How it makes them believe that millions of anonymous ‘likes’ for their naked breasts is somehow life-enhancing.
The accusations ranged from claims about his marriage to allegations of abuse against Lil Tay. “Christopher Hope was naked in front of Tay quite often,” one post read.
Days after she turned 18, Tay Tian launched her OnlyFans account. Within three hours, Tian, who is better known to the internet as “Lil Tay,” claimed she had already made over $1 million.
Tian grew up in an entire ecosystem of child exploitation, although it had nothing to do with OnlyFans. Since she was 10, Tian has been a kind of child actor who starred in crude skits designed to go viral. She “flexed” and used racist slurs while holding other people’s money, sitting in other people’s expensive cars, and standing in other people’s expensive homes. Her brash and offensive content, juxtaposed with her youthful appearance, was catnip for social media. And as showed, the “Lil Tay” persona was the brainchild of her YouTube drama-obsessed, slightly older teenage brother, who was exposed at one point for yelling at Tian from behind the camera until she cried.
One of Tian’s storylines as “Lil Tay” was a feud with Danielle Bregoli AKA Bhad Bhabie AKA the “Cash me outside” girl from “Dr. Phil.” Bregoli and Tian have followed similar paths of viral infamy. They were both widely hated as children for their personas (which the adults around them profited handsomely from), they both appropriated Black culture, they both made music that is unfortunately pretty catchy, they both later joined OnlyFans, and they both alleged severe childhood abuse. Bregoli has recently being sexually abused as a child by her mother’s former partner and by her former bodyguard, and she also at a troubled teens facility she was sent to after appearing on “Dr. Phil.”
