OnlyFans model, Mikaela Testa, has revealed that a mistake on her ESTA form saw her detained for over 30 hours before being deported to Australia.
The 23-year-old Australian had her US visa revoked after landing in Los Angeles from Perth.
Testa took to Instagram earlier this week to explain that she had been deported from the US and had her phone seized.
The incident has prompted her to speak out about what happened in a video posted to her TikTok account, where she has 2.3 million followers.
She said she was detained for 30 hours before being deported.
Testa said that she had that sinking feeling in her stomach that she was in trouble when she was detained upon arrival in Los Angeles.
She was asked about her friends in the US, how they made money, and whether they were involved in anything illegal.
She said that her phone was seized, and they started going through her devices.

During the interrogation, Testa claimed the border control officer asked her if she was on OnlyFans.
Testa replied that she had written her employment status as self-employed, which is how OnlyFans users generally categorise themselves in Australia.
The border control officer showed Testa pictures of herself naked with girls from the US, but the photo wasn’t taken in the US.

Testa was then moved to a room that resembled something out of a “war movie,” before being put on a plane back to Australia.
The incident shows the risks of making errors on ESTA forms and the potentially severe consequences that can arise as a result.
While it is unclear what the exact mistake Testa made was, it shows the importance of being careful and accurate when filling out visa applications, especially when it comes to work and employment status.
The incident is a warning to anyone planning to travel to the US to ensure that they complete their visa applications carefully and accurately to avoid facing similar consequences.
