Has Belle Delphine, the model kicked off Instagram after posing with a dead octopus, gone too far?
- Delphine is known for her ‘ahegao’ facial expression, a term which describes the exaggerated look made by fictional characters during sex in pornographic Japanese video games, manga and anime
A 19-year-old Instagram model had her account shut down in July, just weeks after going viral for selling her bathwater to “thirsty gamer boys” for US$30 a jar.
Belle Delphine, a British cosplayer famous for her provocative photos, has been on Instagram since 2015. But the bathwater stunt, combined with an earlier gag involving the website Pornhub, thrust her into the spotlight this year.
Before her accounts were shut down, Delphine boasted a combined 4.5 million Instagram followers. She also has almost 4,400 supporters on Patreon, where anybody who pledges US$25 a month or more can view her “lewd HD photosets”, and those who pay US$50 or more a month gets access to her Snapchat, which is described as her “naughtiest social media”.
Both of her Instagram accounts were shut down in July in what the photo-sharing app attributed to a violation of its rules – though the company declined to go into details. That’s contrary to earlier speculation that it may have been the result of a mass-reporting campaign.
