OnlyFans

Various news organizations have reported that Newman maintains an OnlyFans account, e.g.:

Given that this has attracted a fair bit of media attention, I think it might merit mention on the page. Thoughts? Mosi Nuru (talk) 07:38, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dropped charges

This page has a paragraph describing charges against Newman and a previous partner.

"In October 2019, Newman and her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Anthony Chickillo, got into an altercation at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. Chickillo was charged with simple assault, criminal mischief and harassment, while Newman was cited for harassment. Eventually, the charges against both were dropped.^[1]"

I think this should be removed from this BLP, given that:

the charges were dropped (veracity is thus questionable & unproven)
the incident is described as a domestic assault in which Newman is at least partly an alleged victim, and mention of this incident on Newman's page has the potential for revictimization (goes against BLP policy)
the incident doesn't merit mention, as it is neither presently noteworthy, nor is it a significant reason for Newman's noteworthiness - the event was only locally-newsworthy because of the charges to Chickillo (the cited headline only mentions Newman as "girlfriend")
the incident is only briefly mentioned on Chickillo's page in context of his temporary absence from the team roster, which is irrelevant to Newman
