Former UFC fighter Paige VanZant disclosed an incident where she fell victim to a catfishing scheme by someone impersonating adult star Jessa Rhodes.
Having transitioned from the octagon to a career in adult content creation in 2020, VanZant has amassed a substantial following of approximately 3.2 million on Instagram, relishing the freedom from promotional constraints.
The resemblance between Paige and Jessa has often led to comparisons, with both acknowledging the frequent mix-up.
On their podcast, “Paige and Austin: A Kissass Love Story,” VanZant shared the story with her husband Austin Vanderford, recounting the time she reached out to who she believed was Jessa Rhodes online, expressing her admiration for their perceived resemblance.
“I went and DM’d and was like ‘Hey, I’m a really big fan of you, everybody thinks we’re twins.’ And they responded as if they were Jessa Rhodes, they were like: ‘Thank you, I thought we were twins too.’ I got catfished, and they changed their bio on Instagram to ‘my twin @PaigeVanZant.’”
“I got totally catfished and then one of my followers messaged me and was like ‘Hey girl, FYI that’s a fan page, her real Insta is this;’ and sent me this real Instagram, embarrassingly funny, I legit got catfished.”
