Ava Louise, a 25-year-old TikTok and OnlyFans star from New Jersey, claims she caused a livestream portal connecting New York City and Dublin to be “shut down” after she flashed her breasts on the New York side to a surprised audience in the Irish capital. In a post on her Instagram story, the self-proclaimed “New Jersey trash” said she simply wanted to show the Irish people her “home-grown potatoes” after revealing her assets.
The incident allegedly led to the portal’s temporary closure, with Louise stating that her boyfriend and fellow OnlyFans creator, Vinny Buffa, distracted security to facilitate her escape. Many on social media noted that Louise’s actions were not technically illegal, as it is not against the law for women or men to be topless in public in New York City.
The portal, launched on May 8th by Portals.Org and conceived by artist Benediktas Gylys, allows citizens of both cities to see but not hear each other. Each sculpture stands eight feet tall and weighs 3.5 tons. Since its launch, the portal has faced various issues, including people taking drugs, displaying images of the 9/11 attacks, and showing pornography on the screens. Dublin City Council announced on Tuesday that “technical solutions” were being implemented to address the inappropriate behavior.
Louise has been making headlines since 2019 when she appeared on the Dr. Phil show, declaring that she would rather “die hot than live ugly.” She expressed her desire to become “insta-famous” and a “skinny legend,” stating that being skinny and pretty leads to more opportunities in life.
In 2020, Louise gained worldwide attention when she posted a video of herself licking a toilet seat on an airplane at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. She claimed it was part of a TikTok challenge, but later admitted the challenge was not real. The stunt was an attempt to gain followers to stream her song, “Skinny Legend Anthem.”
During a subsequent appearance on the Dr. Phil show via Zoom, Louise made controversial statements about the pandemic, claiming she didn’t take the virus seriously and that older generations were blowing it out of proportion. Dr. Phil labeled her “spoiled and entitled” after she threatened to “pull up and cough on [him].”
Louise has been involved in various controversies over the years, including falsely claiming that Kanye West and Jeffree Starr were in a relationship, and being threatened with a lawsuit by Blac Chyna over allegations made on TikTok about a supposed OnlyFans collaboration.
In 2022, Louise told DailyMail.com that NFL star Antonio Brown snuck her into his New Jersey hotel room late at night, violating the Covid-19 restrictions at the time.
Earlier this year, Louise shared her regrets about undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure, which she claimed led to her “entire life falling apart.” She gained 30 pounds and faced embarrassing situations, such as not being able to fit into a plane seat. Louise spent nearly a year reversing the effects of the surgery through weight loss techniques.
The TikTok star’s latest stunt at the NYC-Dublin livestream portal adds to her controversial history of attention-seeking behavior and viral fame.
