Savannah, WC Savage: Perth OnlyFans model defends provocative bikini billboard | news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site
An OnlyFans star is defending a large billboard ad she commissioned to promote her channel amid outcry from the local community.In what is understood to be an Australian first, Savannah – also known as WC Savage – currently has herself displayed across a super-sized billboard near an intersection in the Perth suburb of Osborne Park.
The advertisement, which shows her posed in a bikini at Coogee Beach, includes links and a QR code to her OnlyFans, which hosts her adult content.

The billboard has reportedly irritated businesses and parents, with local media reporting the council, the City of Stirling, and Savannah herself were coping with the brunt of their complaints.
Despite this, Savannah says the billboard stays unless she is ordered otherwise.
“Obviously, people are concerned about children seeing this picture of me in a bikini at the beach, which I think is a little far-fetched,” she told Perth’s 6PR
.
“But each to their own. Obviously, the fact that OnlyFans is an adult content-creating website that caters to adult entertainment.”
According to reports in Western Australian media, the majority of complaints stemmed from children following the links or the QR code on the billboard.
One went as far as to label the ploy, “insane”.
But Savannah rubbished any suggestion children would be able to “stumble” upon her explicit content.
“OnlyFans actually have layers of protection to stop underage people from accessing the site,” she explained.
“You need to have your licence. You need to have a credit card even just to access the free site.”
Savannah also said what other’s children do online is not her responsibility.
“If young teenagers are scanning this QR code, then there should be parental blocks in place placed by their parents on their iPhones, tablets and computers and things like that, to stop them from being able to access sites like this and other sites that do create explicit content,” she argued.
“That’s what my parents did when I was younger. I know that schools do that their computer access and things like that.
“I really do believe that that’s the responsibility of the parents.”
Local mayor Mark Irwin told 7NEWS it was out of the council’s hands, with its fate ultimately in the hands of the billboard’s owner.
“Content and editorial control of what is displayed on the billboard is a decision made by a private entity,” he said.
As for a windfall from the billboard? Savannah said the approach, believed the be the first in Australia, is “doing really well”.
“I obviously, have tried all different types of marketing over the years of being in the adult entertainment industry,” she said.
“I’ve tried all different types of marketing. This is something that has never been done before in Australia by an OnlyFans content creator, and very few people around the world have actually done this.”
Savannah offered some food for thought in her parting words.
“Honestly, if a picture of a young woman in a bikini is the worst thing that your children are going to see today, I really feel like we should be kind of grateful and have some perspective,” she said.
“There are so many worse things out there that the children could be seeing and experiencing than a young woman in a bikini at the beach.”
“Everyone has their right to feel how they feel, and have the opinion that they have, and if people want to complain, then I can’t stop them.”
