Natalie Mordovtseva is being criticized on social media by fans— and her franchise co-stars— for allegedly “trying to profit” off of the cataclysmic Los Angeles wildfires.
Over the weekend, the 90 Day Fiance star revealed on social media that she was “auctioning off” a limited number of video chats with herself– “starting at a minimum bid of $150″– with 50 percent of the proceeds to “support wildfire relief.”
“Seeing these fires and how they’ve impacted my community has been heartbreaking,” Natalie wrote. “Many of you have asked about video chats, so I’ve decided to auction off 10 spots and donate 50 [percent] of the proceeds to support wildfire relief.
“Starting at a minimum bid of $150, DM me on my exclusive site with your offer,” her post continued. “The highest bids will be contacted to schedule a call. Rules for the FaceTime will be sent via message. I can’t wait to chat with you and help make a difference during this difficult time.”
Natalie’s offer to only donate 50 percent of profits from business drummed up specifically because of the wildfires did not go over well with “90 Day Fiance” fans— or her co-stars, many of whom were appalled with Natalie’s offer. Many expressed their opinion that the TLC star’s philanthropic efforts were in very poor taste.
“If you’re not going to donate 100 [percent] then you shouldn’t even be offering,” one person wrote, with another adding a similar message of, “Girl don’t profit off the tragedy tho… donate 100 [percent].”
“Why pay $150 to talk to her when she’s not even a nice person?” someone else commented. “Just donate the entire $150 to wildlife charities instead.”
“I am not shocked you’re trying to profit off travesty,” another fan wrote.
Some of Natalie’s “90 Day Fiance” franchise co-stars also took to social media to express their disgust at Natalie’s offer to “help.”
“She is absolutely a piece of 💩 trying to profit off of this horrible situation,” David Toborowsky wrote in the comment section of a post on the @90DayFianceNow Instagram account about Natalie’s offer. “I have posted this in many places but to use her OF to get people to do video chats for personal gain is disgusting. I appreciate anyone trying to make money. I am a Cameo w**re but you use the fires and say 50% is unreal sorry but not sorry praying for LA.
“I do not blame anyone for trying to have hustle,” he continued in another comment. “I don’t judge but to pray upon the good nature of people in a real disaster and act like you care is one of the lowest things you can do. Just my opinion.”
“The greed in those eyes in real,” wrote James Solis of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way Season 6. “What we see isn’t just an act, it’s her to the core.”

In response to a particular comment calling her out for making a profit off of these video chats, Natalie insisted that she ultimately wouldn’t be earning any money from the calls due to taxes and fees associated with OnlyFans– the site through which Natalie is offering the video chats.
“I would have to pay taxes and the site’s profit, so nothing will be left,” she claimed.
Natalie went on to explain her reasoning behind the 50 percent donation again to another fan in the comments who was actually defending her efforts.
“She’s offering a way to do something to help during this unimaginable time,” the fan wrote. “Every little bit counts.”
“The site takes 20 [percent], plus my manager, who schedules the calls and handles all the logistics,” Natalie replied. “I do pay taxes on everything, of course.”
Natalie– who is currently starring on Season 2 of 90 Day: The Last Resort– doesn’t appear to be bothered by the backlash she’s receiving for her fundraising efforts as her original post remains on Instagram as of Tuesday, as does her OnlyFans post promoting the video calls and detailing the “rules for the call.”
“Thank you so much for being a part of helping in this awful tragedy,” Natalie told prospective bidders on OnlyFans. “I look forward to speaking with you all.”

This is honestly such a Farrah move. Natalie has to turn everything into being about her in one way or another. I was watching the Single Life reunion that was filmed right after the war in Ukraine started, and she kept making it about her. Obviously, it impacts her because that’s her home, but the way she kept trying to shift the attention to herself was weird. Her whole vibe is so bizarre. She comes off as extremely self centered and immature in every way.
What do you expect? America is capitalism without a conscience. America’s only commodity these days is scamming.
So why don’t you carry your sorry ass out of here. The GREAT USA doesn’t need or want you here.
Too much makeup. If you have to wear a pound of makeup… What are you hiding?! Looks like a damn oil painting.
Okay, so first, Natalie is one of the most disgusting women I have ever seen. She’s very immature and very emotionally unstable. Two, clearly she did NOT write her little offer to help out people impacted by the fires AKA pocketing every penny seeing as it’s not in broken English and does not include strange analogies LOL. Third, Who TF would even pay to talk to Natalie?! I wouldn’t even talk to her if someone paid ME to talk to her and finally, Natalie is total trash. There is ABSOLUTELY NO intent on donating a penny to anyone but herself. What a joke! Why hasn’t she been sent back to her country? Seriously?!
Maci also posted a linkinbio to her Amazon Wishlist Link for items to donate – that she gets money off of if people buy it. Trash gonna trash.
Not only is it disgusting to use the fires too do this, there is no way she would actually donate even a penny of it. No way in hell.
I actually despise this woman.
Audacity must be on sale this week…the “highest bidder”? Who even is this chick?
