Tinder Bans Instagram Model For Being Too Hot

Instagram model, Holly Valentine, believes she was kicked off of Tinder for being too hot.

Instagram model, Holly Valentine, claims that Tinder banned her from the app because her matches kept reporting her account as fake. The Los Angeles-based aspiring model signed up for an unspecified premium account with the dating app that allegedly cost the 26-year-old $86. Unfortunately, she was never able to fully utilize the app's features after her matches believed that she was a catfish account because they didn't think that someone of her 'status' would be using Tinder. 

Holly Valentine got the opportunity to speak with British tabloid, The Sun about her unusual experience with dating app stating:

"I used clean pictures, did everything I was supposed to, swiped right on a couple people, I got some matches and then started binge-watching Game of Thrones." Valentine continued, "Then after a couple hours I went back on saw a couple previews of messages and then got locked out of the app. The previews that I did see were 'you’re probably not real,' 'why would a girl like you be on tinder.' I didn’t even get to meet anyone or even really use the app."

The vlogger/internet model requested a full refund of her subscription but has yet to hear back from the corporation. In 2019, Best Company reported that Tinder's refund policy is extremely vague and may require a lot of tedious bureaucratic steps in order to receive a refund. According to the terms and conditions on the Tinder website, all user refunds are managed by Apple. While Tinder's compensation return procedures have yet to be truly explained, Holly Valentine believes she should be fully refunded for being false-flagged and banned from the platform. Valentine spoke about her refund demands:

"I figured I must have gotten flagged on there so I contacted Tinder and Apple asking for a refund," she replied. "Tinder gave me no response and Apple said refunds are up to the discretion of the app. Tinder isn't agreeing to it but they won't tell us why."

During a recent Instagram live stream, Holly Valentine continued her fight for justice saying:

"The second you pay someone for something, I'm sorry... I'm ok with them kicking me off, but they have a contractual obligation to tell me why they're taking my money and not refunding me. I really think it's unfair of them to be like, 'Hey we're going to take $86 from you.'"

In recent years, Tinder has been attempting to make its platform safer and more fun based on user preferences. Maybe, the potential matches that Holly Valentine was receiving were just too insecure to realize that she was an actual person looking to hop into the dating pool. 

With so much attention headed her way because of this Tinder debacle, hopefully, the aspiring model will receive what she is owed from the dating app. Prior to pursuing a career in modeling, Holly Valentine worked in marketing and branding. Holly Valentine is currently attempting to boost her budding career Instagram and OnlyFans.

Nude Model Helps Raise $1Mill For Australian Fire Relief By Offering Naked Pictures

That's one way to help a cause.

The global response to the devastating fires that have swept across Australia has been overwhelming. Celebrities around the world have lent their voices to the cause, asking for the public to donate their time, money, and resources to help those who have been displaced Down Under. Twenty-three people have lost their lives due to the bushfire and over half a million animals have died.

A social media model, 20-year-old Kaylen Ward, decided to do her part. She told her followers that if they donated more than $10 to the charities of her choice—those directly connected to the Australian bushfire relief efforts—and followed up with a proven receipt, she would send them pictures of herself nude. According to Guardian, Kaylen has been working as a nude model since August 2019.

“I donated $1,000 myself,” she reportedly shared with Guardian Australia. “I had a substantial amount of followers, maybe 30,000 at the time, and I thought that a lot of my followers would pitch in and send in some donations for the wildfires.” In just four days, Kaylen and her naked body have helped raise approximately $1 million after her request went viral.

“I have a girl that’s doing the analysis on it and she’s calculated that I’m getting about 10 legitimate verified DMs per minute,” Kaylen continued. “And that’s only saying everybody donated at least $10, that’s not even calculating the average amount, because I’ve had donations of $5,000... I feel that the number is way beyond that.”

Kaylen was already using social media to pay her bills by selling her nude pictures to her loyal fans, so she thought she would use her talents for good. Of course, she's had to deal with critics along the way; Instagram deleted her page and she claims that anytime she tries to make a new one, it gets taken down. Kaylen also tweeted that her family disowned her and the guy she was dating won't speak to her anymore.

“It is a little bit overwhelming that I’m so vulnerable and everybody’s staring at me," the model added. "Especially because I’m naked on the internet right now. [But] I’m only one person and I’m helping so many other people, so I’m not the most important thing right now."
