An OnlyFans star who claims to stand at a towering 7ft has claimed that NBA icons Shaquille O’Neal and Kevin Durant have previously slid into her DMs.
Marie Temara, who boasts over 3 million Instagram followers, says she’s been approached online by a string of celebrities amid her recent rise to fame.
‘Kevin Durant asked me how tall I was,’ Temara said. ‘Shaquille O’Neal has DM’d me multiple times. I was flattered by them approaching me and thought it was kind of cool – these are the NBA players I idolized growing up.’
However, despite claiming to be 7ft tall, Temara is widely believed to be closer to 6ft 3in and has previously faced accusations of exaggerating her height.
The attention doesn’t stop at the basketball court. The OnlyFans model claims even rapper Lil Jon, 54, has taken notice – although there was a mix-up.
‘He once complimented a video he thought was me dunking – but it was actually my brother. I was just excited he’d even seen my videos and found them funny.’

Temara has built an online empire by leaning into her height, raking in a staggering $10 million from her content.
She frequently films skits, pranks and everyday challenges that come with being vertically gifted – including bumping heads on door frames or cramming into tiny cars.
Her two younger brothers, Troy (27) and Shane (29), are also exceptionally tall at 6ft 10in and 6ft 9in, and they’ve joined her in building a fanbase online.
Shane is reportedly earning $100,000 a year through content creation, while Troy makes $50,000 as an influencer.
Temara said her brothers were ‘jumping for joy’ when she told them about her famous admirers. ‘I think my brothers thought it was cooler than I did,’ she added.
The model, who quit a $100,000-a-year accounting job to join OnlyFans four years ago, has turned her unusual family dynamic into a brand.
Meanwhile, Shaquille O’Neal made headlines of his own recently after he opened up on his addiction to painkillers which he hid from his family throughout his NBA career.
The former Los Angeles Laker has been open about his use of the drug during his days on the court and discussed the topic again during a podcast appearance.

O’Neal was a guest on the ‘Armchair Expert’ podcast hosted by Dax Shepard, who said to the four-time NBA champion: ‘You had to be on pain pills to play. You had to’.
The 53-year-old confirmed that he did, before Shepard continued: ‘You were playing through so many injuries. Again, back to this thing where I’m suspicious that for you to admit you have any weakness would be too painful.
‘You’re just keeping it all in, right? You’re just playing through everything. You have stuff that’s going on and yeah, you had to be on pain pills.
‘How did that not grab you? Or did it grab you a little bit? Have you ever been scared about any of that addiction wise?’
