Sophie Rain has slammed Uber after receiving a strange message from its official X (formerly Twitter) account. The unusual mix-up happened after the OnlyFans star announced that she would help struggling families affected by the recent government suspension of SNAP benefits.
Sophie Rain reacts to Uber’s money message
In an X post on November 10, Rain stated, “i am giving out money to help those in need this week during the government shut down. if you or anyone you know needs assistance this week please drop any payment method below so i can lend a helping hand ?.”
The post soon gained momentum with many fans sending in their requests. However, things took a bizarre turn when a message from Uber’s official account popped up in the replies. The now-deleted text read, “Xoxosamyo on PayPal,” followed by a crying emoji and a pink heart with sparkles emoji.
Despite being removed soon after, the text had already been captured by fans, who began sharing the screenshots online. In response, Rain shared another post saying, “Uber, you better start paying your social media interns more because this is CRAZY.”
The star addressed the issue again in an interview with The Blast. “Didn’t think I’d be Instacarting groceries to Uber this week, but here we are,” Rain shared. “I get hundreds of payment requests a day, but seeing a verified Uber account with crying emojis and a PayPal handle threw me.”
Rain added, “At first, I thought someone hacked their account. Then I realized, no, this is probably just an underpaid intern trying to get fed like the rest of us. So I sent the money. What else am I gonna do, let Uber go hungry?”
The OnlyFans star took the opportunity to directly address Uber as well, saying, “If your social media intern is out here publicly asking OnlyFans girls for help with groceries, maybe your company should take a break from the self-driving cars and pay them a livable wage. Just a thought.”
Uber has yet to give an official response to the mix-up.
