AN INFLUENCER has been slammed after she claimed she’s homeless but still manages to sleep comfortably every night thanks to online dating.
Emily Webb, 25, from Australia, explained how she manages to save money with her controversial method, and people have been left divided over it all.

She recently told her 66,000 followers that she finds a bed for the night by going on dates with men and sleeping at their houses.
Her so-called hack raised eyebrows and concerns, with many TikTok users urging Emily to reconsider.
In the viral video, Emily explained she usually only stays in the same place for a couple of nights because the men catch on to what she’s really doing.
“If you’re new here I’m homeless. This is one of my boyfriends’ places, he’s in the other room, but I can’t believe I was wasting my money on rent all this time,” she said in the clip.
She continued: “Life hack, if you’re hot do not ever pay rent. You can literally just go on Hinge and stay at different guys’ places for free every single night and nothing bad has happened to me yet but I’ll let you know how long I can keep going with this until I’m sleeping in my car.”
Emily went on to add that her dates usually break up with her when they realise she’s “using them.”
Previously, Emily, who reportedly makes thousands thanks to her adult content on OnlyFans, explained why she is homeless.
According to the influencer, it’s not a lack of money that’s the issue – it’s the hosing crisis.
Last year, Emily claimed she tried to apply to rent her own place but wasn’t able to.
It’s not just Hinge dates Emily stays with; the social media star claims she has also had no choice but to sleep over with friends, or even hunker down in her car for the night.
She previously told News AU the lengths she’s gone to to try and secure her own place, and revealed she’s even offered to pay rent up to 12 months in advance, but still had no luck.
Although it might seem like a nightmare, Emily told followers on TikTok she’s not as stressed about the situation as you might think.
“I can’t believe I’ve been wasting my money on rent all this time. Life hack: If you’re hot, don’t ever pay rent,” she said in the viral video.
That said, the influencer did add that some of her Hinge dates have been “rude” about her homelessness.
And that she has used more traditional methods to try and find a man to spend the night with, like getting dressed up and going for a “hot girl walk” around her neighbourhood.
But when her prowl for a fella fails, it’s not such a big deal, since she claimed sleeping in her car is “comfy as f**k.”
After opening up about her situation on social media, people had mixed feelings about the whole ordeal.
One commented: “This is a very dangerous game you’re playing.”
And a second slammed Emily’s video as having “the worst advice ever.”
Another said: “It may be safer for you to rent a hotel or motel long-term, or just buy a camper.”
Meanwhile, other men were keen to offer Emily their place for her to stay.
“Happy for you to come and stay at my place for free… only one catch, you’ve got to sleep in my bed,” one wrote.
“You can live with me for as long as you cook me dinner every night,” another man said.
And another said: “You’re always welcome at mine.”
What is OnlyFans?
OnlyFans is a subscription content service based in London.
As of 2023, it is thought to have more than 220million registered users and over three million content creators.
Sex workers charge monthly fees for access to pictures, videos and more.
While popular for porn, the site isn’t exclusively designed with that in mind – anyone who wants to build up a fan base and charge them for it can set one up.
Celebs like Katie Price and Kerry Katona are popular personalities on the platform.
“Whether you’re uploading tutorials, tips, behind-the-scenes footage or just endless selfies, a lot of your followers would be willing to pay for them,” the company states.
For every subscription that’s sold to a viewer, performers get 80 per cent of the cash while OnlyFans gets the rest.
It isn’t limited to adult content, as it has become popular with physical fitness experts and musicians.
