Starting point is 00:00:00 I just wanted my potatoes to be international, so I just got the portal from New York to Dublin shut down. I thought the people of Dublin deserved to see two New York homegrown potatoes. Who doesn't love boobs? I'm sure you love boobs, Pierce. Why would you call them potatoes, knowing how much the Irish love potatoes? The people that found it insensitive and inappropriate probably never get laid. I have no shame at all. I made $100,000 in a week. What reaction have you had from your own family? It really doesn't bother them that I know of.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Okay, well, let's find out if it bothers them because I've actually got your mother, Susan Lochner, joining us. Were you as her mother offended by it? When artist Benedictus Gillis came up with the idea of a real-time visual portal between Dublin and New York, his intention was to unify cultures
Starting point is 00:00:49 and show that distance cannot divide us. And for a while, it worked. We'll see a lot of love, light and smiles, he said in an early interview. There was even a successful marriage proposal. But these days, it seems, nothing good lasts for very long. Citizens of both great cities began doing
Starting point is 00:01:04 various inappropriate things that were, well, not exactly a misperit of the installation. This culminated in the Only Fans model from New York, brazenly flashing at her Irish counterparts, an incident which went viral and led to the temporary closure of the portal. It's now reopened, but with limited operating hours, a strict on-site security.
Starting point is 00:01:23 All of which leads to the question is absolutely nothing safe from a generation's insatiable thirst for attention and digital cloud. Well, who better to ask than the woman who turned the portal of hope into the portal of shame.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Joining me now is the OnlyFans model and public flasher, Ava Louise. Well, Ava, welcome to Uncensored. Hi, thanks for having me on. Well, a pleasure. My first question is, why did you do it? Well, I did it because I haven't Onlyfans, and I thought it was a great
Starting point is 00:01:56 way to market my Onlyfans. So you had no degree of shame. It was a marketing ploy. Yeah, I have no shame at all. I made $100,000 in a week. What other 25-year-olds making $100,000 in a week? So that's your only motivation. He didn't care that you may have embarrassed your country? I think Americans do way worse than show their boobs. Who doesn't love boobs? I'm sure you love boobs Pierce. I love boobs. It's just a pair of nice boobs. It's not that effect. It's not Is that offensive?
Starting point is 00:02:30 Well, no, it's something about the quality of your own cleavage. It's about where you showed them. When you have children looking, you have elderly people, you have in Ireland, of course, nuns, priests. Did none of that cross your mind that they may not all be as receptive to your boobs as everybody else? Well, you know what? There were no kids that I could see. And everyone seemed to really enjoy it. I could care less, peers.
Starting point is 00:02:58 I really, really didn't care. It's just a great pair of boobs that I wanted to share with the world. Right. The installer said the intention was to bring people together from different cultures and ways of life together
Starting point is 00:03:10 in order to break the narratives of separation and conflict. Do you feel you've contributed towards that? I absolutely think I contributed towards that. Again, who doesn't love boobs? Especially American ones.
Starting point is 00:03:24 But your explanation when you were asked about it, you said, I just wanted my potato to be international. So I just got the portal from New York to Dublin shut down. I thought the people of Dublin deserved to see two New York homegrown potatoes.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Well, I got to be honest with you, they're not homegrown. They are plastic. But, you know, I really thought, you know, the people of Dublin enjoyed it. The media seemed to enjoy it. Everyone seemed to like it. So I don't know why they shut the portal down.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Some people enjoyed it. Some people thought it was disgusting. and insensitive and inappropriate. Well, you know what? I think the people that found it insensitive and inappropriate probably don't get to see nice boobs and they probably never get laid, if I'm going to be honest. Why would you call them potatoes,
Starting point is 00:04:14 knowing how much the Irish love potatoes? Well, you know what? They like potatoes. Potatoes are a big part of their country, right? Didn't they have the famine or something? So I labeled my boobs as potatoes. They're just two potatoes right here. Right. No, I can see them.
Starting point is 00:04:33 What reaction have you had from your own family? Well, you know, my mom and dad haven't always been comfortable with the fact that I have an Onlyfans page, but they've learned to accept it. You know, Ava flashing her boobs to the portal is just a regular Tuesday for me. They're pretty used to it.
Starting point is 00:04:53 You know, my mom and dad are proud of how much money I make. It really doesn't bother them that I know of. Okay, well, let's find out it bothers them because I've actually got your mother, Susan Lochner, joining us. Hi, Susan. Hi, how are you? Very well. Welcome to uncensored. Let me not be hypocritical here. I have no personal issue with women's breasts being exposed, right? It's where they expose them and how and people who may not actually be appropriate to see this. And one of the problems I think everyone had with this, it was a very well-intention an installation. Suddenly your daughter's there flashing her breasts, and a lot of elderly people,
Starting point is 00:05:35 religious people, young people, were offended by it. Were you as her mother offended by it? Was not. And I'll tell you why. Where were all these people when she was growing up? I have been let down by a liberal school system, by a country that doesn't give her job opportunities. A smart, beautiful girl like her can't even go to a corporation and find a job thanks to our administration. Thanks to COVID lockdown. Only fans is a real force in this country.
Starting point is 00:06:08 I think that Ava is just responding to what she's given. And I am proud of her. I'm proud of her because she's learned a way to make a living here in this very strange world. But, you know, I suppose what I would say is this. I come from a generation where to be on a national stage or international stage for any reason was normally precipitated by a talent.
Starting point is 00:06:37 You'd be a great entertainer, you'd be a great sporting figure, a great politician, a great scientist, a great whatever. The idea that you can now become famous, as Ava has done, infamous, if you like, just by flashing on a public portal. If I was her parent, I don't think I'd be. be that proud of that? I mean, I understand your argument that the system may have let her down and she hasn't got a better job, but really just stripping in public like that, just a bit of clout, a few followers, a bit of cash. Are you as a mother completely happy about that?
Starting point is 00:07:14 No, of course not. I mean, I would love for her to meet someone in finance, be married, have a white picket felony anymore. They just aren't. I'm way too hot to work and finance. Well, I just thought it was smart and funny. If you take away the fact that she's my daughter and the shame in that, because, again, they're not proud parenting moments. But the whole idea when she did it and the money she made,
Starting point is 00:07:48 I just think it was smart. It's not a dumb girl you're dealing with here at all. She was a straight-A student, very intelligent. Really? College was a snap. Yeah. And I think... Let me ask Eva.
Starting point is 00:08:01 You see, it seems to me your mother's being a great, loyal mother defending you. But when I really pushed her a bit, there's no actual sense of great pride here. She would much rather you had used your obviously formidable brain power to do something a little bit more sophisticated and impressive and talented than flashing abreast in public. peers i'm going to be honest with you i'm a jersey girl i'm new jersey trash i have no interest in being sophisticated and having a job in finance i'm a hot girl with great boobs and i make a hell of a lot more money showing these boobs to people than i would if i was a doctor so what am i to choose right um i go have a job as a doctor what about integrity i make an 80 grand a year What about integrity?
Starting point is 00:08:51 I mean, if I was, sorry, but if this is my daughter saying, I'm New Jersey trash, I don't care, I didn't want a proper job, I'm learning all this money. Susan, let me bring you back in, come on. Susan, come on. You're not happy hearing your daughter say, I'm New Jersey trash.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Is that what you invested in your time and effort bringing up for? You just have to be from Jersey. We're a little different of a crowd there. Our friend, Donald Trump, he also kind of runs at the mess. mouth. We all kind of do. We're all a little bit. Our culture is a little different. We have a sense of humor that sends to shock people. I love New Jersey people. Yeah. Yeah, well, I mean, I was young ones too,
Starting point is 00:09:36 and you'd be surprised, peers. There's probably a lot more in common that Ava and I have. But I don't, I don't love it, but I also don't begrudge her some fun, a smile on her face. Like I said, This isn't a fun world for a young person right now, especially one that was brought up with a phone and with access to sex all day long. I mean, in high school and middle school, they taught them things. And, you know, she's been exposed from a young age, and this didn't come from my house. And so I'm battling something that I can't battle. I'm proud of her because I love her. And she's my daughter.
Starting point is 00:10:13 I'll always be proud of her. She's not killing anybody. she had a bit of fun her and her boyfriend and I don't know Here's the thing Susan I think you're a really decent person Right you just come across
Starting point is 00:10:25 It's very open Very honest very intelligent very thoughtful about this And I think underneath Ava's jersey trash claim is a very smart beautiful young woman who honestly is just being led down
Starting point is 00:10:39 a weird rabbit hole of thinking the only thing she can do to be successful in life and her money is flash her breasts around in public. And I find that a little bit disparity. Let me correct you, Pierce. Let me correct you, Pierce. I don't think it's the only way for me to make money, but it's a damn great way to make money. Okay, I'm making six figures a month. I get to live in a beautiful apartment. I have freedom all day, every day. You know, I don't have to report to a nine to five. I don't have
Starting point is 00:11:11 a boss. I just have to take a couple pictures and make some videos. You're confating two things. You're confetti two things. Only fans is fine. I've got no problem with only fans, right? Only fans people pay and then they can get your pictures or whatever it is you give them. That's fine. That's a contractual arrangement between you and then. I give them everything. I'm not talking about that.
Starting point is 00:11:29 You can give them whatever you want. I don't care. I'm not approved. I'm talking about what you did in public to something which was actually bringing two great countries together where a little prize from the people who installed it and a belief they were going to bring, as they said, bringing two different cultures together.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Well, my point is, though, you kind of ruined it, Ava. You sullied it. Oh, who cares? They shut it down for one week and they reopened it. I didn't ruin it. And let's be honest here. Only fans isn't as easy as, you know, it's taking a picture of your boobs and posting it on your page and making money. You've got to be good at marketing yourself. And that was a perfect opportunity for me to show up and market myself, market the assets that I'm selling to make a living, and make an insane. amount of money. I made $100,000 in a week. Name one other job that a 25-year-old could be doing making $100,000 in a week. All I had to do is flash my boobs. I congratulate- I congratulate you on making that money. I'm sure every good-looking woman in the world could do the same with a little bit of your hootspur. I don't dispute that. But that you know what,
Starting point is 00:12:34 those other good-looking women don't have the balls to do what I did. It took balls. That may well be true. It took balls to go show my business. That may well be true. Listen, we're taking a live shot now. Well, we're looking at live pictures now of the portal. Everyone seems to be fully dressed from what I can make out. They're all waving at each other. This is from Dublin. Which is unusual from New York to Dublin. So it's a very cool thing, a great piece of art.
Starting point is 00:13:03 And so far, when you look at this, Ava, when you see happy families of all ages, old, young, and these all these Irish people and American people coming together, as the installer said, different things. cultures and ways of life to break the narratives of separation and conflict. Does not a little tiny part of you have a slither of regret that you reduced it to a large image of your memories? Absolutely none. Nope, don't care. Okay. Don't, if they shut the portal down forever, whatever, it's still worth it to me. I know that sounds selfish. It does. I know that sounds selfish.
Starting point is 00:13:36 It does. But, you know, I made a lot of money and I have really great boobs and I'm really happy. And, you know, if it took ruining a portal for me to do that, whatever. And I know that makes me sound horrible, but I'm just a girl. Well, it does make you sound horrible, I'm afraid, Ava. But it's good to talk to you. And your mother, who isn't horrible, and I suspect slightly shuddered. Oh, but Peer's not horrible, Pierce. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:14:01 You see, you see, you don't like what she's saying here. I know you don't. A little part of his like, Peirz has got a point. Do it on Onlyfans. It's fine. It's a contract. I think you do, but I also saw what the people in Dublin were doing at night after they went to the pubs and they were, you know, mooning everyone in the portal. And part of me just wants to just crack the hell up. I think this is hysterical. I think she's hysterical sometimes.
Starting point is 00:14:28 And I thought what they were doing was hysterical. I don't know why anyone thought this would be some family thing when it's nighttime in Dublin and the people have been drinking and they're walking past the portal. doing all kinds of. One guy was doing coke. Yeah, Pierce. I mean, you can't just play me. I'm afraid of the twin towers. I know. Some people have done disgusting things, I know. They showed of 9-11. So I showed them my twin towers back. Like, come on, this isn't just me.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Mine might have been the best because, again, who doesn't love boobs? But come on. It wasn't just me. We're going to go back to the portal. We've all been having fun with it. Hang on. Hang on. We'll go back to the portal for a moment. That's what you want to see. It's a picture of me. I think that's what. That could unite both countries through this difficult time.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Ava, listen, you are entitled to lead your life any way you see fit. I'm not prudish about your only fans account. That's entirely down to you. I'm sure business will be booming after this. But your mom, Susan... Oh, business is booming. Your mom, Susan, trust me. Trust me, your mother would like you someday before too long
Starting point is 00:15:32 to get a proper job that makes them properly proud, wouldn't you, Susan? Well, I just think the portal should be in a different state than New York. or New Jersey type area because you're just going to get a lot of this sarcastic humor. You know, I mean, it's just going to be to put it in Kansas and maybe you might get what you want. The little farm family standing there waving. I don't know. I don't know. I just...
Starting point is 00:15:54 Mom, do you want me to get a proper job? Listen, I want you to live your life and I want you to be happy because that's my number one priority is that she's happy. I'm glad she had a smile on her face and, hey, she made it on the Pears Morgan show. You know, all the other stuff will figure it out. That wasn't actually answering her question, Susan. Would you like her to get a proper job? No. Susan?
Starting point is 00:16:26 I don't know if she's going at this point. Susan, parent to parent, come on. I'd love for her to get married. Sure, I mean, once she's done and she's ready to be boring or bored, I think that's fine. And Ava, if your mother decided to go and show her, hot potatoes on the portal? How would you feel about that?
Starting point is 00:16:46 I would think it was great. It would be the Pierce Morgan show. I would think it was awesome. Pierce Mountain. You think it would be awesome. I would think it was great if my mom wanted to show her boobs. I think more women should want to show their boobs.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Like, come on. Like, men can walk around shirtless everywhere. Why is it such a crime if a woman pulls out her boobs? If I showed various parts of my anatomy on the portal, I'd probably be arrested. It's legal for men. Why can't it be legal for women? It's legal, I think, for women to topless in New York.
Starting point is 00:17:20 Listen, you both put up a valiant fight, but I suspect if we took this to Dr. Phil for a couple of hours, by the end of it, Susan, you would admit no, Ava, get a proper job. This is supposed to be funny, no? Aren't you supposed to laugh a little and have a little fun? You know what? I'm slightly torn, if I'm honest with you. I don't want to be taking it too seriously. Listen, I'll laugh at stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:17:42 But when I actually thought about it, it is a pretty special, unique thing they've created there. And all the intentions were that it would bring two countries together and be a cultural thing to be proud of, show off the best of the countries. And I'm not entirely sure, Ava, with all due respect to you, that you flashing your boobs is quite what they had in mind. And I'm not quite sure that it's the cultural unifying thing
Starting point is 00:18:07 that you may have thought it was. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm just getting too old. You know what? You know what? It's not 1953. If they wanted to see the best of the country, they got it right here. This was the best of America.
Starting point is 00:18:20 These are the best boobs in America. And now they are the most famous boobs in the entire world. And Dublin was blessed to see them. You know what? I think I represented America. Disappointingly, Ava, you're probably right. I've got to leave it there. Eva, Susan, thank you for being un-censored.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Of course. Hi, Eva. Hi, Eva. Bye. Bye.
