Louisiana Woman Catches Heat For Putting A Billboard Up Promoting Her Content
A Louisiana content creator looking for a new way to promote her small business decided to go with an old school approach. She tossed up a billboard, which her “boo” helped her pull off as a birthday present.
Now, if that doesn’t tug at the heart strings, I don’t what does. Here we have a mom, a content creator, a small business owner doing what she can to drive up business to continue providing for her family.
Meighan Baker, who uses the name ArielleMyles88 on OnlyFans, told NOLA.com that the idea of putting up the billboard started as a joke. But it’s turned into a serious boost to her business.
That doesn’t mean everyone who has seen the billboard, which is located in a neighborhood near the Caesars Superdome, supports it. She’s catching plenty of heat since the billboard went up on July 29.
But this former dancer turned content creator isn’t concerned with that. Baker knew what to expect when she decided to have a billboard put up.
There would be criticism, but there would also be more paying customers.
Business for this content creator is booming since the billboard went up
Baker is happy to report that, as of a few days ago, her subscribers have gone from 90 to 200, and she’s seen her income increase 200 percent. With those kinds of numbers, it’s safe to say the billboard has been a success.
The pandemic pushed her into the career change back in 2021. But she’s not the only one who has undergone a career change. Her boyfriend and business partner, Steven Gremillion, quit his job to focus on their growing business ventures.
Those business ventures include multiple social media accounts across several platforms. They even produce fishing content on OFTV. Baker says that the adult portion of their business is only a small, but obviously with the billboard, a growing, portion of their business.
Between the couple, they have four children. Gremillion explains his career change like this, “I couldn’t make the amount of money in a lifetime that some of the people on OnlyFans were making. [Our kids] could have anything they’ve ever asked for.”
Hate or not, these two are focused on providing for their family. The billboard the couple believes is the first of its kind in the United States.
Who doesn’t love a modern-day success story? They’re innovators, and it’s paying off for them.

Louisiana Purchase & Gardens Zoo holds “Red, White and Blue Day”
MONROE, La. (KNOE) – Families spent part of Independence Day weekend at Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo for the first-ever “Red, White and Blue Day,” a new event the zoo hopes will become an annual tradition.
The celebration featured children’s activities, food vendors and patriotic decorations throughout the grounds.
Organizers also added a pair of crowd-pleasers: a pizza-eating contest and a watermelon-eating contest, drawing spectators who gathered to watch contestants race the clock.
Zoo Director Phillip Crawley said the event was designed as a family day focused on bringing the community together.
“We want a family day, you know, we want people to come together. We want the, all of America needs to come together,” Crawley said. “Everybody’s been so at each other lately that hey, let’s all just get back together… let’s come out here to the zoo let’s have a good time… and see that everybody’s happy.”
Crawley said the goal is to give families another reason to visit while creating a positive, shared experience in a relaxed setting.
Zoo officials said “Red, White and Blue Day” was the first of its kind at Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo, and they hope to make it a yearly event moving forward.

Louisiana grand jury’s role in legal proceedings explained
(KTAL/KMSS) – The ongoing saga of Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill has many commentators on social media questioning what the grand jury process entails.
A grand jury is unlike a trial jury. A trial jury hears a case and decides a defendant’s guilt or innocence. The purpose of the grand jury is to determine if there is sufficient evidence against a defendant to bring them to trial.
The evidence viewed by a grand jury only represents what the state government considers just cause to bring charges in a case. They do not render verdicts; instead, they indict, which is a formal accusation or a decision that a person should be tried for their alleged crimes in a court of law.
In Louisiana, the grand jury is empanelled for a six-month service term. Occasionally, a special grand jury may be empanelled for eighteen months. Grand jurors are selected by lot from a pool of at least 300 prospective jurors. The number of grand jurors is specified by the court.
Once a grand jury is selected, the process becomes cloaked in privacy as names are sealed in envelopes and locked in sealed boxes. The clerk of court in the parish prepares subpoenas ordering pool members to appear on the date set forth by the court for grand jury selection.

Louisiana Supreme Court recalls Liz Murrill’s arrest warrant in late-night emergency ruling
The Louisiana Supreme Court in an emergency order late Friday night agreed to recall an arrest warrant for Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, after issuing a ruling earlier in the day to stay her indictment from an Orleans Parish grand jury.
The grand jury indicted Murrill on Thursday, charging her with 16 felony counts of malfeasance in office and intimidation. Orleans Criminal District Court Judge Leon Roche issued an alias capias arrest warrant and set Murrill’s bond at $400,000.
The attorney general quickly asked the state Supreme Court to intervene, who responded with an order Friday morning that stayed the indictment.
But by late Friday, Murrill went back to the high court alleging that the special prosecutor appointed to her case, former New Orleans judge Laurie White, had refused to recall the alias capias arrest warrant despite the stay.
“I object to the removal of the capias (warrant), as the accused should not get any more preferential treatment than any other criminally charged defendant,” White allegedly told Murrill’s legal team, according to their filing to the Supreme Court.
The Louisiana Supreme Court issued another order late Friday night, saying it was “in order to add clarity and specificity where none should have been required.” The order recalled Murrill’s arrest warrant, ordered White and law enforcement to remove the warrant from law enforcement databases, and ordered White and law enforcement to “take all necessary actions to comply with this Order.”
The court’s vote on recalling the warrant was 4-3, with Justices Billy Burris, Cade Cole, Jefferson Hughes and Jay McCallum voting in the majority. Chief Justice John Weimer and Justices Piper Griffin and John Michael Guidry each dissented. Weimer and Guidry had also dissented earlier Friday from the decision to stay Murrill’s indictment; Griffin had voted in favor of the stay.
“It is said that procedure is the handmaiden of substance, but in criminal cases procedural rules are indispensable to serve justice and ensure that all are treated equally,” Weimer wrote in his Friday night dissent over recalling the warrant. “Yet, ironically, on the eve of this July 4th when our nation will commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this court is once again called upon to provide exceptions to the normal process pursuant to another feigned emergency by one party.”
Griffin wrote in a dissent that recalling the warrant goes to the merits of the case. Guidry wrote in his dissent that the majority had elevated “power and privilege over process.”
“This is yet another unprecedented preferential act by the majority bestowing a privilege that no other criminally charged defendant can reasonably expect to receive,” Guidry wrote.
