A recent segment featuring Latiesha Jones discussing her unconventional income from selling personal items on OnlyFans has generated significant backlash among viewers.
On Monday, viewers of ITV’s “This Morning” were confronted with a segment that generated widespread outrage and disgust, following the appearance of 24-year-old Latiesha Jones, who detailed her unconventional income source through the adult subscription platform OnlyFans. The segment featured hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley as they interviewed Jones about her experiences selling items such as her old toenails, used bedsheets, and bottles of spit, with earnings reportedly reaching £20,000 a month.
Latiesha initially pursued a career in medicine, attending university with the aim of becoming a doctor. However, she dropped out in her second year, stating that her priority had shifted to money-making opportunities. Reflecting on her decision, she remarked, “I think I see my main goal, I’m a really caring person, so I think my goal for being a doctor came from wanting to help people… I feel like I’m doing that with women now with our community.” She further elaborated that she helps other women to navigate the fetish market, asserting that her efforts contribute to their financial growth.
The idea to sell her personal items originated from a customer inquiry asking for her spit or shower water. This led her to explore what she termed a “huge” community drawn to “weird stuff.” She noted that her business model has evolved significantly, with her boundaries now more firmly established as she gains better control over her entrepreneurial pursuits. Jones expressed a belief that selling personal items online is not inherently different from traditional sales of second-hand clothes, simplifying her perspective on the nature of her trade.
Latiesha’s unconventional business model has attracted a diverse clientele, spanning from middle-aged businessmen to university students. Accompanying her on the sofa during the interview was Freya Ashthorpe, who shared her own experiences in the market, having sold items like a pot of hair for £50 and acrylic nails for £40. The two showcased an emerging trend where personal items are commodified, albeit in a manner that many viewers found disturbing.
Reactions from the audience on social media were largely negative, with many viewers expressing shock and disbelief. Comments flooded in on X (formerly Twitter), with one user stating, “Selling your own toenails in no way equates to being a doctor. Heard it all now,” while another labelled the segment as “gross” and a myriad of viewers voiced their discomfort or intent to turn off the broadcast. The overall sentiment painted a picture of dismay at the nature of the discussion and the content shared on the platform.
Meanwhile, the segment was balanced with a discussion featuring actress Amanda Abbington, who reflected on her recent experiences following a contentious situation on “Strictly Come Dancing.” Reflecting on what she described as a challenging year, Abbington expressed her determination to focus on her career and family.
“This Morning” airs on weekdays at 10am on ITV1 and is available for streaming on ITVX.
