Washington state city council reconsidering appointment of member after discovering OnlyFans page

Members of the Lynnwood City Council in Washington state are facing a dilemma just days after appointing a new councilor who identifies as a “bisexual transwoman” and operates an OnlyFans account. The council is set to hold a special meeting to reconsider the appointment of Jessica Roberts following the discovery of her explicit content-sharing platform.

Initially, Jessica Roberts was the council’s choice to fill a vacant seat. However, after it came to light that Roberts had an account on OnlyFans where explicit content was shared, the council is now contemplating rescinding the appointment. While Roberts’ account has been removed, the bio on the account identified her as a “bisexual transwoman” and included graphic details about her body parts.

Residents who recognized Roberts from her OnlyFans page began reaching out to council members after her appointment. City Councilor Derica Escamilla expressed concerns about the appointment process and whether council members are allowed to have OnlyFans accounts.

Another council member, Patrick Decker, admitted he was unaware of Roberts’ activities and views, stating that he did not believe they were in line with the responsibilities of a city council member. Lynnwood officials have not responded to requests for comment on the matter.

The council had posted about Roberts’ appointment on Facebook, announcing that she would be taking her oath of office during a meeting in March. However, with the recent developments, the council is now planning to evaluate Roberts’ qualifications and decide whether to rescind the appointment or proceed with the next steps.

The special meeting is scheduled for Thursday at 7 p.m., where council members will discuss Roberts’ suitability for the position. The agenda includes a review of her qualifications and a decision on whether to rescind the appointment.

It remains to be seen how the council will proceed with this delicate situation. The controversy surrounding Jessica Roberts’ OnlyFans account has raised questions about the expectations and standards for elected officials. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
