Milana Vayntrub, the actor and comedian known for her role as the AT&T girl in the telecom giant’s commercials, is using her platform to raise funds for families of color affected by the recent Los Angeles wildfires. Instead of a traditional fundraiser, Vayntrub has launched a unique project called OnlyPhilanthropy, a playful take on the popular adult content platform OnlyFans.
On OnlyPhilanthropy, Vayntrub is sharing “flirty” photos in exchange for donations to support BIPOC families impacted by the devastating fires in Southern California. While she is not providing explicit content, she hopes to “use the male gaze to fight the blaze.” Donors can contribute $69 for a flirty photo, with options for higher donation tiers. Vayntrub has pledged to donate 100% of the proceeds to the families in need.
“This is about more than one fundraiser; it’s about redefining who controls the financial power of online attention,” Vayntrub said. She aims to empower women and marginalized communities by leveraging online attention for a good cause. In just four days, the project has raised nearly $200,000.
Vayntrub envisions expanding the initiative by inviting other celebrities, influencers, and activists to join her in this purpose-driven experiment. As a refugee who escaped antisemitism at a young age and was raised in West Hollywood, Vayntrub is passionate about supporting those in need.
In addition to her work with AT&T, Vayntrub has appeared in various TV shows and films, including “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” “Love,” “Silicon Valley,” “This Is Us,” and “Californication.” Her commitment to philanthropy and social causes demonstrates her dedication to making a positive impact in the world.
As Vayntrub continues to raise funds for families affected by the wildfires, she hopes to inspire others to use their platforms for good and create meaningful change in their communities. OnlyPhilanthropy is not just a fundraiser but a movement to empower marginalized groups and redefine the impact of online attention.
