On January 8th, @keanileigh told BuzzFeed News[4] that she had received 15 direct messages from people interested in her services, with some of them proceeding to send her money over Venmo.

I wasn’t surprised people were paying me. Women want security and $10 is a small price to pay, and some people just like feet.

In the same article, Twitter users @pumpkiim[5] and @imkrieger[6] claimed that they had also received inquires regarding their joke offers.
