Football matches have long been a magnet for attention-seekers, but a recent staged incident outside St James' Park has fans fuming. An OnlyFans creator, Shania Howard, is at the center of a social media storm after staging a fake chip attack outside a Newcastle pub before Manchester United's 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United.
In a video making rounds on X, a scantily clad woman, supposedly a Newcastle supporter, was seen shoving chips into Howard's face while being filmed. The spectacle took place right outside Shearer’s pub, and as it turns out, the entire debacle was a calculated move to drum up interest in Howard’s OnlyFans account by claiming Manchester United allegiance.
“I am FUMING this is too far,” expressed one outraged fan on social media, encapsulating the sentiment of many who witnessed the staged encounter.
This isn't Howard's first foray into football-themed antics. Earlier this season, she orchestrated a similar spectacle involving a beer spill outside West Ham’s stadium. It seems Howard has found a formula she believes works, using football grounds as a backdrop for her content, much to the chagrin of genuine fans.
The audacity of these stunts is not just in their execution but in their timing and location. During the chip attack, Howard was provocatively dressed and filmed in close proximity to a young girl and her mother, who were merely trying to fundraise for their local team. This added a layer of disrespect that fans found hard to swallow.
The reaction on social media has been swift and fierce. Many users condemned Howard for her lack of consideration for those around her, with some pointing out that such behavior would not be tolerated if roles were reversed. "Imagine if a bloke walked past in a mankini," quipped one user, highlighting the double standards that often prevail in public spaces.
The incident has sparked a broader conversation about the increasing use of match days as a content stage by individuals with no real connection to the sport. As Howard's antics become more predictable, fans are becoming adept at calling out these attention-grabbing tactics, and their tolerance for such behavior is wearing thin.
