ARSENAL’s self-proclaimed ‘biggest female fan’ has claimed supporters want her “BANNED” from games because she rocks up to the Emirates in just body paint.
Life-long Gunners fan Arabella Mia has gone viral on numerous occasions for her lack of outfits at the Emirates.

JAM PRESS / @GREENGIRLBELLA_Her lack of clothing has repeatedly been met with major backlash, but the 27-year-old influencer insists her nude antics are helping women break into the football space.
She said: “Men always assume I’m just another girl pretending to like football and think I don’t know anything about it.
“But I usually end up knowing more than those who try to catch me out.
“I’ve been into football since I was a kid but it was my first boyfriend who inspired my love for Arsenal.
“He was a die-hard Gooner and taught me all about the team.
“But I knew from the get-go that I’d have to fight my way into this space and make myself memorable.
“That’s how the whole idea of going to the matches nude came about.
“I can’t understand why seeing a woman’s body is such a problem.

JAM PRESS / @GREENGIRLBELLA_“At first, I wanted to be the new face of Arsenal – but it’s so much more than that now.
“We need more women in football communities, so it is important to me to be at the forefront of this.
“And this is how I choose to do it.”
Mia, who also makes and sells adult content on OnlyFans, spends several hours painting her body with a skin-tight Arsenal kit.
She then proceeds to interview Gunners fans for their thoughts on Mikel Arteta‘s side.
And she’s become so accustomed to chatting to her fellow Gooners in the buff that she sometimes forgets she’s nearly completely starkers.
She said: “Once I got past the initial nerves, I absolutely loved it.
“I was just standing there talking about football and interacting with other fans – I honestly forgot that I was even naked.
“We had a laugh and I surprised some of the men with my sports knowledge.
“But online, it was a different matter.
“Somebody recorded me at the stadium and posted it online, calling me out for being naked in public.
“It went viral and the hate I got was insane. Some people called for me to be banned from the stadium.”
Despite the immense online backlash, Arabella continues to stick to her guns and attend stadiums in the buff – although sometimes she likes watching games from the comfort of the pub.

JAM PRESS / @GREENGIRLBELLA_“I don’t always stay at the stadium,” she said. “Sometimes, I’ll find the nearest pub and watch from there.
“At away matches, I’ve even had to sit in the competition’s local and keep my head down.
“But I don’t care – I will always support the boys, no matter what.
“Every time I’ve actually been at matches with the fans in person, they love the body paint and most people are happy to get involved with the interviews.
“Even the stadium security are fine with it – I just have to chuck a top on before I go inside.
“One time when I was in body paint, a little girl with her family said, ‘Dad, can I have a photo with the superhero?’
“That’s what she thought I was.
“In my opinion, my nude outfit is no different than Scarlett Johansson wearing the Avengers catsuit.
“I don’t care so much what people think anymore and just do what feels right to me. This is pure passion.
“I can’t wait to see what’s next for the team – I’ll be there every step of the way, body paint on and ready for more madness.”
