Megan Barton Hanson shares messages from slut-shaming ex
Ex-Love Islander Megan Barton Hanson has shared screenshots of messages from an ex who slut-shamed her, telling followers, "don't ever let anyone belittle you".
Megan took to her Instagram stories earlier this week, saying, "So this is part of a paragraph someone I was dating used against me in the past. Slut shaming me and blaming partly why we ended on me working in the sex industry. At 20 this would have killed me. Thinking that someone I loved judged me like this. But the truth is it says more about them."
Below that comment she included the screenshot of the message which read, "Then you was going on dates with lads for a job, selling your knickers for £200 and liking... [sic]".
Beneath the screenshot Megan followed up by saying, "Don't ever let anyone belittle you for using your femininity to get that dollar... My god if you don't rate someone for being able to sell their £5 panties for £200. I don't want you in my life."
Megan has always been an advocate for a sex worker rights, and often speaks out about the need for those working in the sex industry to get more respect in society. Recently, she spoke to Fabulous magazine about re-launching her OnlyFans account back in March, saying, "I talk all the time about women owning their bodies, and in a society where you’re either made out to be frigid or getting slut shamed, why should I not take ownership of my body?"
Recently, Megan Barton Hanson spoke to Cosmopolitan UK's All The Way With... podcast about being bisexual, dating and her sex life. You can listen to the episode here (it's a good'n).
