Angie Varona is a classic example of making lemonade when given lemons. Her millions of followers know her for flaunting her body and posing provocatively, but who is Angie Varona, really, and why is she famous?
Angie Varona is an American model and social media influencer who became famous after provocative photographs taken when she was 14 years old were leaked onto the internet and uploaded onto adult sites. Now, she is an adult content creator and influencer.
If you’re interested in finding out all there is to know about the bikini-clad influencer, this article is for you. Read on to discover who Angie Varona really is, why she is famous, and what she does with the fame she never really wanted in the first place.
About Angie
On 25 April 1993, Juan and Maria Varona welcomed their daughter Angeline to the world. Angeline, who goes by Angie, was born, raised, and educated in the Miami, Florida, area.
Little is known about her childhood or upbringing, but it is thought that she grew up in a Christian household. Angie attended John A Ferguson Senior High School. While she was a student at the school, she was just like any other teenage girl, until one day.
When she was just 14 years old, Angie sent provocative photographs of herself wearing nothing but her underwear to her high school boyfriend through ‘PhotoBucket’, an image-sharing platform that was popular at the time. Unfortunately, her ‘PhotoBucket’ account was hacked and the private photographs were released for the world to see.
Why Is Angie Varona Famous?
Sadly, when the photographs of the minor were leaked during the hack they were uploaded and reuploaded onto numerous adult sites all around the world. Life as she knew it was over for the teenager and much to Angie’s horror (and that of her parents!) she inadvertently became a sex symbol.
It wasn’t just the images that went viral, but the story behind it. Angie’s tale became a cautionary one and – at the time – she urged other teenagers to avoid taking risque photographs of themselves for the purpose of sending them to their boyfriends or girlfriends.
The photos had a terrible impact on Angie’s life and she was bullied so severely that she had to move schools twice and even thought about taking her own life. Angie told ABC News the photos “ruined my life” and said, “Nobody ever thinks that, ‘Yeah, I’m going to take these pictures and it’s going to end up all over the internet.”
Because of her age at the time, and the fact that the same thing happened to her again the next year, her case received plenty of media attention. Unauthorized Facebook pages claiming to be Angie began popping up, and then they began gaining tens of thousands of followers.
Angie Varona Today
Though Angie did not send those photographs to her boyfriend with the expectation that they would make her famous, that’s exactly what happened. After graduating from Florida International University with a degree in Political Science, Angie reclaimed her power in a big way.
As an adult, Angie now uses the same type of photographs that brought her so much suffering as a teenager to fuel her career – and grow her USD $1,000,000 net worth.
Angie’s Instagram page (which more than 3.5 million people follow!) contains photo after photo of the social media star clad in tiny bikinis and her bio contains a link to her Only Fans page, which has been favorited over 300,000 times, where she shares nude photos and videos.
Adult content aside, Angie is a now bonafide social media influencer who has collaborated with brands such as Bang Energy, Fashion Nova, VPX Sports, Clover, Quash, Vooz Hydrate, as well as an assortment of swimwear and lingerie companies.
