“I think in the current climate of inflation and the cost of living it’s important if I can’t just ask for a baseline of 99 cents [per month]if it starts to go above a dollar or two, I don’t think that’s fair,” Jesinta said Monday.
The former Miss Universe Australia called out other celebrities for their monthly fees, saying they’re already making enough money thanks to Instagram.
“One hundred percent of everything [my] Profits are donated to charities,” she added.

Jesinta turned her attention to her channel and said she plans to do more content about life as a mom, workouts, clothes and makeup.
“I’ll be posting more things but in a more intimate way. Sometimes Instagram doesn’t always feel 100 percent like a safe place to share things,” she explained.
“I didn’t do as much as I could do. When I saw the subscribe feature, it created a group of people who want to see this authentic community.’
