Before the dreadful international break, a supporter of Arsenal went viral for watching her club play at the Emirates while only wearing body paint, sparking an internet controversy.
Arabella Mia, a Gunner enthusiast, shows her love for the team by standing for hours on end as the kit is applied to her body in advance of the games.
However, after Mikel Arteta’s team defeated Manchester City 1-0 on October 8, the football fan received backlash for her provocative “outfit.” Some even suggested that she was only doing it to draw attention to her OnlyFans page.
However, after Mikel Arteta’s team defeated Manchester City 1-0 on October 8, the football fan received backlash for her provocative “outfit.” Some even suggested that she was only doing it to draw attention to her OnlyFans page.
However, speaking to Daily Star Sport, Arabella insisted that she was Arsenal through and through and her body painting has nothing to do with her spicy career.
She said: “My OnlyFans has absolutely nothing to do with it. When it comes to actually going to the games, like I’m not going there, and I’m not promoting my OnlyFans. I’m not giving out business cards and being like go and have a look at this. Yeah, this time around, it has been a lot harder for me.
“It’s just such a shame because obviously, you know, I stand there for four hours, and go and have a great time at the game, especially when we win. And then I come home and I’ve just had so much abuse this time around.”
Arabella is not alone, though, as there are other female football fans who will do anything to support their team. Below, we take a look at other women who, after being engrossed in the thrill of the beautiful game, have gone all out on the terraces or even got tattoos.
