New York, NY – A virtual portal linking New York City to Dublin was abruptly shut down after an incident involving an OnlyFans model who flashed the camera, causing an unexpected international stir.
The New York City Portal, part of a global network of interactive public art installations, aims to connect people across continents through live video feeds. However, the usually inspiring cultural exchange took an unexpected turn when an OnlyFans model, known online as “Ava Louise,” decided to perform an impromptu flash during a live session.

The incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon at the portal located in Times Square. According to witnesses, what started as a routine interaction quickly escalated when Ava Louise, known for her provocative online content, lifted her shirt in front of the camera. Her actions were broadcast live to viewers in Dublin, leading to immediate shock and dismay among the unsuspecting audience.
City officials acted swiftly, shutting down the portal within minutes of the incident. The Department of Cultural Affairs released a statement condemning the act as “inappropriate and against the spirit of the portal’s mission to foster positive, meaningful connections between cities.”
“We deeply regret that this incident took place and are reviewing our protocols to ensure that such occurrences do not happen in the future,” the statement read. “The portal is designed to celebrate and connect different cultures, and we are committed to maintaining its integrity.”
Reactions to the shutdown have been mixed. While some praised the city’s quick response, others criticized the lack of monitoring that allowed the incident to happen in the first place. “It’s disappointing that a few individuals can disrupt something meant to bring people together,” said Mary O’Donnell, a Dublin resident who witnessed the incident. “I hope they can find a way to prevent this in the future without shutting it down entirely.”
Ava Louise whose OnlyFans account boasts thousands of followers, posted on social media shortly after the incident, defending her actions as “a form of self-expression.” She expressed surprise at the backlash, stating, “I didn’t mean to offend anyone. I thought it would be a fun and harmless way to engage with viewers.”
However, the backlash was swift and significant. Many criticized Ava Louise for her lack of respect for the public nature of the portal, with some calling for her to be banned from similar events in the future. Legal experts suggest that she could face charges for public indecency, though no official action has been taken yet.
The New York City Portal project team has confirmed that they are working on enhanced security measures to prevent similar incidents. “We’re considering additional safeguards, including potential delays in the live feed and stricter monitoring of interactions,” said project coordinator, Samuel Green.
Despite the disruption, city officials remain optimistic about the future of the portal. “This was an unfortunate event, but it does not define the project,” Green added. “We will learn from this and continue to create opportunities for cultural exchange and understanding.”
As the city navigates the fallout from this incident, many are reminded of the delicate balance between openness and security in public art projects. The New York City Portal, while momentarily offline, is expected to resume operations with renewed safeguards in the coming weeks.
