‘Meth lab’ Oompa Loompa actor at Fyre Festival-esque Willy Wonka ‘experience’ now selling $35 Cameos
NY Post
She turned a fiasco into a golden ticket to online fame.
The “meth lab” Oompa Loompa actress who went viral during Scotland’s “embarrassing” Willy Wonka “experience” might have the last laugh. After being lampooned mercilessly online, the entertainer has managed to cash in on the fudged event — by joining Cameo.
“Come get your own personalized videos with the famous weagie Oompa Loompa!” teases the woman, named Kirsty Paterson, 30, in the self-effacing caption to her profile on the celebrity video platform, where she has posted a half-dozen clips so far.
She reportedly created the profile in response to a request from model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen: “Somebody get the Wonka meth lab girl on Cameo immediately — while it’s still hot,” Teigen wrote in a recent Instagram story, Gizmodo reported. “I need a Cameo.”
Needless to say, Paterson put people’s money where her mouth is.
She charges $35 for a personalized video, which she claimed she can turn around in 24 hours. Best of all, she delivers them while gussied up in the now-infamous emerald wig and maid outfit she wore during the disastrous event.
It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
