Ilona Maher satirically called out her fans for getting hooked on her funny nature
Having amassed a massive social media following for promoting body positivity, Maher expressed concern over fans who purely get hooked on her funny posts and not on her hot pictures.
"Sometimes I just wish that people follow me purely because I am hot, instead people follow me because of my personality. So, I have to constantly give funny things to say and think of funny little quirks and try to relate to you all instead of just posting hot bikini pics and getting 20,000 followers. You guys are so greedy and always want to laugh," Ilona hilariously shared.
She then unveiled that her comment was satirical.
"This is satire. I know some of y’all are only in it for my looks" her caption read.
Maher also performed in Team Dance alongside Joey Graziadei, Jenn Tran, and Chandler Kinney on the song, I2I for 'The Goofy Movie'.
