This is quite confusing.
Do you still remember the striking auction of a Romanian teenage selling virginity through a notorious website called Cinderella Escorts in 2016?
Aleexandar Kefren, who is now 19, revealed in an interview of This morning in 2016 about what was she thinking when making the decision to sell her virginity, which should be most treasurable for most girls.
Aleexandar described herself coming from a poor place and she wanted to go to Oxford Universtiy and provide a home to her parents when she saw a movie 'Indecent Proposal' on TV in which a girl sold herself for a million a night, so she thought she could do so.
Cinderella Escorts announced that the Romanian teenager, meaning Aleexandar, had sold her virginity for a staggering €2.3 million (£2m) with an initial bidding pricing $1 million (£700,000) in March, 2017.

A year later, Aleexandar came out and said it was a publicity gimmick for the website to attract young girls or women to do sex work by making a belief they can earn easy money.
She said in an interview with the porn site Sugercookie, the auction "never" happened. Aleexandar told she was approached by Cinderella Escorts on social media about a "marketing proposal" which could allegedly help her modelling career and turn her into a celebrity.

The innocent woman believed her family in Romania would never find out but after attending on This morning which has a global audience, she lost her family friends. She said the stunt has ruined her life.
The owner of the website has denied her accusation that the auction was a publicity stunt to lure young women into sex work.

Zakobielski, the spokesman of the site told the media, "Talk about girls who make allegations against us are just not existent.
He added, "We never in our history have had a single report against us."
However, Zakobielski did confirm that Aleexandra never met the unnamed businessman from Hong Kong because he discovered pictures Aleexandra with her rapper boyfriend on Instagram.

Maybe only God knows who's telling the truth.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bob Weir, the guitarist and singer who as an essential member of the Grateful Dead helped found the sound of the San Francisco counterculture of the 1960s and kept it alive through decades of endless tours and marathon jams, has died. He was 78.
Weir’s death was announced Saturday in a statement on his Instagram page.
“It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Bobby Weir,” a statement on his Instagram posted Saturday said. “He transitioned peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, after courageously beating cancer as only Bobby could. Unfortunately, he succumbed to underlying lung issues.”
The statement did not say where or when Weir died, but he lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for most of his life.
Weir joined the Grateful Dead — originally the Warlocks — in 1965 in San Francisco at just 17 years old. He would spend the next 30 years playing on endless tours with the Grateful Dead alongside fellow singer and guitarist Jerry Garcia, who died in 1995.
Weir wrote or co-wrote and sang lead vocals on Dead classics including “Sugar Magnolia,” “One More Saturday Night” and “Mexicali Blues.”
After Garcia’s death, he would be the Dead's most recognizable face. In the decades since, he kept playing with other projects that kept alive the band's music and legendary fan base, including Dead & Company.
“For over sixty years, Bobby took to the road,” the Instagram statement said. "A guitarist, vocalist, storyteller, and founding member of the Grateful Dead. Bobby will forever be a guiding force whose unique artistry reshaped American music.”
Weir’s death leaves drummer Bill Kreutzmann as the only surviving original member. Founding bassist Phil Lesh died in 2024. The band's other drummer, Mickey Hart, practically an original member since joining in 1967, is also alive at 82. The fifth founding member, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, died in 1973.
Dead and Company played a series of concerts for the Grateful Dead’s 60th anniversary in July at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, drawing some 60,000 fans a day for three days.
Born in San Francisco and raised in nearby Atherton, Weir was the Dead's youngest member and looked like a fresh-faced high-schooler in its early years. He was generally less shaggy than the rest of the band, but he had a long beard like Garcia’s in later years.
The band would survive long past the hippie moment of its birth, with its ultra-devoted fans known as Deadheads often following them on the road in a virtually non-stop tour that persisted despite decades of music and culture shifting around them.
“Longevity was never a major concern of ours,” Weir said when the Dead got the Grammys’ MusiCares Person of the Year honor last year. “Spreading joy through the music was all we ever really had in mind, and we got plenty of that done.”
Ubiquitous bumper stickers and T-shirts showed the band's skull logo, the dancing, colored bears that served as their other symbol, and signature phrases like “ain't no time to hate” and “not all who wander are lost.”
The Dead won few actual Grammys during their career — they were always a little too esoteric — getting only a lifetime achievement award in 2007 and the best music film award in 2018.
Just as rare were hit pop singles. “Touch of Grey,” the 1987 song that brought a big surge in the aging band's popularity, was their only Billboard Top 10 hit.
But in 2024, they set a record for all artists with their 59th album in Billboard's Top 40. Forty-one of those came since 2012, thanks to the popularity of the series of archival albums compiled by David Lemieux.
Their music — called acid rock at its inception — would pull in blues, jazz, country, folk and psychedelia in long improvisational jams at their concerts.
“I venture to say they are the great American band,” TV personality and devoted Deadhead Andy Cohen said as host of the MusiCares event. “What a wonder they are.”
