Fact Check: OK Magazine Did NOT Publish Video Claiming German Chancellor Friedrich Merz Booked $8,000 OnlyFans Private Session With Transgender Model During G7 Summit Not OK

Did OK! Magazine publish a report that German Chancellor Friedrich Merz booked an $8,000 OnlyFans private session with a transgender model during the Group of Seven summit? No, that's not true: The video was not published on the OK! Magazine website or on any of its official social media accounts. There are no legitimate news reports of the tabloid magazine publishing the claim.

The claim appeared in a June 25, 2026, post on X account @ABridgen (archived here). It opened:

Did German Chancellor Frederick Merz book an $8000 only fans private session with a transgender model during the G7 summit?

Does this remind you of Keir Starmer and the Ukrainian rent boys ?

All our puppet leaders are compromised and controlled by their globalist masters.

This is what the post looked like on X at the time of writing:

Here is the video from the post:

The post on X incorrectly write Merz's first name as "Frederick." The video includes captions that do spell Merz's name correctly and includes the OK! Magazine logo throughout the footage. However, a search of Okmagazine.com (archived here) did not find any matching reports or videos of the claim, as this screenshot shows:

A search of the OK! Magazine Instagram account (archived here), X account (archived here), TikTok account (archived here) and Facebook account (archived here) did not find the video or a report of the claim about Merz.

Had OK! Magazine published the video it likely would have been found on the internet. However, a search of Google (archived here) and Yahoo (archived here) did not find any matching reports or videos published by OK! Magazine claiming Merz booked an $8,000 OnlyFans private session with a transgender model during the G7 summit.
