A woman has slammed her former gym after her membership was axed due to a photo she took in the changing rooms.
OnlyFans model Stephanie Harrison, 31, was asked to leave CrossFit Death or Glory in Newcastle earlier this month.
On 21 February, Stephanie posted a post-workout selfie in the gym, wearing a sports bra and leggings.

The innocent photo was shared on her work's backup and personal Instagram account, which has a link to her OnlyFans.
But WhatsApp messages appear to show that Stephanie had her membership revoked as the owners of the gym didn't want any connection to the adult content site.
Stephanie feels she was discriminated against over her job and is certainly not happy.

"I’m honestly stunned and absolutely disgusted. This is utter discrimination," she said.
"I'm sorry I'm not a doctor or a lawyer and they don't think my money's clean enough for them."
Stephanie's membership with Crossfit Death or Glory only began at the start of February.
But the WhatsApp message from one of the owners said she had to leave as one of the pictures posted on her OnlyFans was taken in the gym.

In the first message, the accused owner writes: "Afternoon Stephanie, it has been brought to our attention that you are running an OnlyFans page and that pictures on the page have been taken in the gym.
"What you do in your own time is completely up to you, however we as a business want absolutely no link to something like this.
"We therefore respectfully request for you to leave the gym with immediate effect. We will cancel your membership and refund you the week that remains on the month you have paid for.

"We hope you understand and wish you luck in the future."
Stephanie replied to the message asking to see proof, to which was sent a screenshot of the snaps on her backup Instagram account.
The messages go back and forth, with Stephanie denying the accusation that she posted to her OnlyFans account from the gym.

But the conversation then appears to end when Stephanie asks for the termination in writing blocks the gym owner.
Looking back at the incident, Stephanie said: "CrossFit gyms are supposed to be a community - my job shouldn't be questioned.
"There wasn't even any link to the gym at all in that picture, and I don’t mention them in my stories.
"You can't tell from the picture where it was taken. I used the CrossFit hashtag, but that isn't naming the gym.
"This was totally unexpected. It's not like it was nude - I was in a sports bra. There's nothing in the gym to say, 'No photography'. I'm being victimised."
Tyla has contacted CrossFit Death or Glory for comment.
