Some of them were creeped out by messages and comments they received from GWM members on their Instagram etc, maybe some of them were stalked.
How do you know Instagram users are also GWM users? Do they use the same username here and on Instagram?
If you have proof of this you should tell the administrators.
It's generally one of:
What happended with Taylor Vertucci?
She did a topless photoshoot that got leaked and she lost all her sponsors. She quickly disappeared after that.Damn shame but to quote that episode on Sienfeld "They're real...and they're spectacular!"
As for the pay sites, I think Micaela Viscido is a good example lol, she asked to remove her pics here a long time ago, but she came back, maybe she thought having her content here was a good way to promote her paid content lol
I see much logic on that, I guess people that are bother by they publicity here ask to be removed while others can benefit from it, or take pride from the recognition or whatever.
For women not in the industry, I accept it and that is the end of it. But when women who are in the industry complain about being on GWM, it is strange.
Some women are definitely not prepared for the kind of attention that being posted here can bring, even if they don’t care that things are being posted.
Michelle Gavin is another good example, though I think her eventual shut down came as a result of nudes getting leaked from her Patreon.
My logic is: you can’t trust anyone, so don’t trust anyone with something you think could ruin your future.
Maybe someone has another take, but unless they have a private Instagram, any google search would turn up the same images there anyway. I think it’s just the unwanted attention.
But what about women like Aleesha Young or Hreapca Oana for example ?
They already are female bodybuilding stars, they have videos all over YouTube, Google image is filled with pictures of them, they have tens of thousands of followers.
Yeah this I don’t understand. Especially if the images are already posted on their public Instagram, they literally don’t even own those images anymore because of the Instagram/Facebook Terms of Service.
An example I have is Libby W. She's a girl next door who used to post videos of her dancing with her big calves.
She was on this site for a while, but quickly asked to be removed from here, and then removed all of her Calves videos from her Tiktok and I think she also made her Instagram private.
That may be a case of her being creeped out by some users of this site :(
No one by chance has all her vids and whatnot saved?
Another reason is they need or want to control through which channels/sites their images are made available through. This might be for monetisation, follower count or some other reason. Consider that if they are tied to a brand, for example, the sponsor might also be looking to control their visibility.
Also, body builders retire, just like everyone else at some point, and they sometimes want to reshape their new image.
Whatever the reasons, of which there are many, we should respect their wishes, even if it is a little frustrating as a fan.
Jennifer Richey is a great example. She did both porn and fitness modeling, with her own husband no less. Then they struck gold with their startup Gravity Jack. Now they have hired PR firms who actively look for their content and file DMCA takedowns.
That's pretty awesome. It won't work for everyone or even most people, but I enjoy the stories of a fitness model being able to set herself up for a real post-modeling career.
I have talked to many competitors becuase of asking for customs and this is one of the comments I get: my requests are refreshingly mundane. No weird fetish stuff with diapers or stomping or talking about armpits. I can’t imagine the volume of weirdness these women get on a daily basis
This is the big one IMO. Another big one is for professional reasons: a woman Googles her name to see what a prospective employer might find and she finds pictures of herself that she posted on her personal Instagram account intended for self motivation and close friends all over the internet.
I constantly implore people on here to take it easy and don't creep out these women. Yet every day more and more ask to be removed from the site, lock down their social media accounts, etc.
