Camila Araujo removed her OnlyFans link from her social media bios ahead of releasing her podcast episode with McKinley Richardson, saying she did not want to profit from someone else's trauma.

The episode, titled McKinley’s Story (The Truth About Jack Doherty) Pt. 2, featured nearly three hours of Richardson detailing her past relationship with Doherty.

Ahead of its release, Araujo quietly updated her profile.

"I didn’t want to direct traffic to OnlyFans from that episode," Araujo told viewers.

"This isn’t about views. It’s not about clicks. It’s about telling the truth and giving McKinley space to speak without distraction."

Taking to the YouTube comment section, fans reacted.

“Respect to Camila for removing the link," one comment read. "She’s putting integrity above the bag."

Another wrote, "This is how you handle a sensitive story. No monetizing, no baiting."

Araujo said she and Richardson had discussed the episode’s tone in advance.

"We both knew this would be heavy. We didn’t want it to feel like clickbait. We didn’t want it to be tied to platforms that don’t reflect the weight of the conversation," she said.

"I knew people would be watching closely," Araujo said. "So I removed anything from my page that could make it seem like I was gaining something from her pain. I didn’t want that on my conscience."

"The story should stand on its own," she said. “And McKinley’s voice should be the only thing people are focused on right now."

Recently, Araujo also reflected on fans constantly comparing her to Katy Perry.

"I literally thought, ‘Katy Perry, nice to meet you,’" Araujo told Logan Paul on the Impaulsive Podcast.

"We made eye contact at her concert. She was singing ‘I Kissed a Girl’ to me. I was ready to kiss my doppelganger. She walked away. We almost kissed!"

The clip has fueled comparisons between Araujo and Perry.

On Instagram, Araujo posted content playing into the resemblance, including a short video captioned: "People say I look like Katy Perry, so I did this."
