Rachel Dolezal recently found herself on the Twitter trending page after personal photos from her OF account allegedly surfaced online.
Although it remains unknown who first shared the images on social media, netizens alleged that it came from one of Dolezal’s OF subscribers.
Dolezal, who is known for presenting herself as an African-American woman despite being born to Caucasian parents, announced the launch of her page last year. In a now-deleted Instagram post, she wrote:
“I got approved! …LINK IN BIO! ~ My OF content launches September 1! Swipe to see what my content plan is… A little something for (almost) everyone. Looking forward to bringing you some great content!”
At the time, she mentioned that her page would contain her artwork, fitness routines, hair and makeup tutorials, as well as “foot pics” and other “random” content like “posts of me using stuff people buy from my Amazon wishlist.”
Dolezal also announced that she would be making three weekly posts alongside “others sprinkled in” to share more than 12 content pieces per month. She even shared the details of her plans on social media:
“Monday Motivation = Gym/Fitness/Squats N Other Stuff, Wednesday WorkDay = Hair-chair Conversations with my clients + HairTutorials and Friday Unwind: I bring the Art, you bring the wine/drinks. Watch me create & discuss my art.”
As Rachel Dolezal’s personal photos surfaced online, several social media users trolled the former NAACP chapter president using a barrage of hilarious memes.
