‐Please leave space for one car
for that little house

by the little blue house.

Oh, God, are you gonna watch me
bumble my way into this Airbnb?

Okay, we ́re in.

Wow, this place is really funky.

I do love that
there ́s a bunch of

peacock motifs here.

And I have a peacock kimono,

so I definitely
will be using that

and some similar‐toned
underwear to shoot.

OnlyFans is weird.

It seems like there ́s a desire
for, like, the very extreme,

like, pornographic type stuff,
you know.

But then there ́s also
this large interest

in, like, people
doing everyday activities,

but, like, in their underwear
or, like, naked.

I like the use of the reds
in the kitchen, too,

so I ́ll probably do
some red underwear in here.

And some people are full‐time
OnlyFans creators.

And I know there are accounts
that make in excess

of like $10,000 a month
doing this.

♫♫

‐What I love about
working on cars is

they ́re freedom, they ́re fun.

♫♫

My dream would be to have
my own custom shop

and race my owners race cars
eventually.

That would be a lot of fun.

At first, I was not
okay with making sex tapes

just because, you know,
that ́s so intimate and personal.

And the first time I posted on
OnlyFans, I was so nervous,

but then I was like,
"You know what?

I ́ll put it out. We ́re just
gonna see what happens."

So, I just finished my makeup,

and now I ́m gonna
go to my studio

so I can start making
some content for the day.

And then I just started seeing
how much more money

people would be willing
to pay for more content.

I would say I ́ve made...

over $75,000 on OnlyFans.

♫♫

‐It ́s like I ́m nervous, but I ́m
not nervous at the same time,

if that makes sense, like...

My mom and I are very open
with each other.

My parents ‐‐
they ́re not judgmental people.

So anything that I do
that ́s new,

I talk to my mom about it.

Like, I ́ve never did
a threesome before.

So I just kind of wanted
to get her opinion on it.

Am I a little curious?
Yes, I am.

And I know I ́m gonna
make money from it, so...

‐Yeah. I mean...

I like your business mind of it.

‐Right, right. Right.
‐That ́s what I appreciate.

‐I couldn ́t afford
Christmas gifts for my family.

So I dropped one
little video of my butt.

I had made $1,300 that day,

and then it just
kind of went from there.

I have 1.3K subscribers.

I ́m in the top 1.2 percent.

‐Here we go.
One, two, three.

‐Boom. Magic.

‐My first nude
was just a short video

that I just walked up
and like flashed the camera

and slowly dipped my toes into
more and more risqué content.

I guess a lot of it
seems to be, like,

up to people ́s imagination.

Like, they seem to be intrigued
by the concept of being present

for these, like,
private type things.

All right, Ty. You ready?

Yes!

‐♫ Body‐ody‐ody‐ody‐
ody‐ody‐ody‐ody ♫

♫ Ody‐ody‐ody‐ody‐
ody‐ody‐ody, mwah! ♫

♫ Body crazy, curvy, wavy,
big titties, li ́l waist ♫

♫ Body‐ody‐ody‐ody‐
ody‐ody‐ody‐ody ♫

♫ Ody‐ody‐ody‐ody‐ody‐ody‐ody ♫

♫ Look at how I bodied that,
ate it up and gave it back ♫

♫ Yeah, you look good ♫

♫ But they still wanna know
where Megan at ♫

♫ Saucy like a barbecue, but you
won ́t get your baby back ♫

♫ See me in that dress
and he feel like ♫

♫ He almost tasted that ♫

♫♫

♫ Ody‐ody‐ody‐ody ♫

♫ Mwah! ♫

♫♫

‐Roll and, yep, action.

Let ́s talk about OnlyFans.

I first heard
about OnlyFans when

I think I saw
my favorite porn stars

that I follow on Twitter
posting about it,

because I pay I pay for my porn.

Like, I feel bad
about how much I consume.

‐So, OnlyFans started in
the summer of 2016.

‐It was primarily a platform
used by sex workers.

‐OnlyFans is a
subscription‐based platform.

‐People pay anywhere from $5
to $25 a month.

‐In exchange for that fee,

you get access to the content
on their main feed.

‐You could message them,

make yourself known
through tips.

They could actually create
things specifically for you.

‐OnlyFans keeps 20 percent,
and the content creator

takes home 80 percent
of their earnings.

‐I would describe OnlyFans
as the X‐rated Instagram.

‐Instagram, but for porn.

‐But it ́s like
the Harvard Business School

of X‐rated Instagram.

The creator can actually
make a business

and make a living off of it
in a really unique way.

‐Where on Instagram you have
an influencer selling products,

on OnlyFans, the person
themselves is the product.

No.

Where are you ‐‐
Where do you work at?

‐♫ I ́m a savage, yeah ♫

♫ Classy, bougie,
ratchet, yeah ♫

‐I think Beyoncé ́s
shout‐out of OnlyFans

on the "Savage" remix

was the first time
I heard OnlyFans

since I had heard about it
in the porn world.

♫♫

Beyoncé says anything,

and it ́s like, oh, okay, well,
that ́s ‐‐ it ́s normalized.

‐OnlyFans is massively

a part of the pop culture
zeitgeist right now.

‐Cardi B ́s on the platform.

You have Chris Brown.

‐Now, why are you
tipping this rich man?

‐I think I ́m gonna start
an OnlyFans.

‐Please do it, Loni Love.

‐Michael B. Jordan ́s mustache.

‐His name is Murphy.
Got an OnlyFans coming soon.

‐Oh, an OnlyFans account? Wow.
‐OnlyFans account. Why not?

‐Bella Thorne is probably

the most infamous celebrity
to join OnlyFans.

‐Bella.

Actually, I ́m getting a little
angry, talking on about it.

‐Big‐name stars changed it
so dramatically.

My income went like this.

2018, ́19,

2020!

‐OnlyFans broke out in
a very big way in 2020.

‐This is the year of disconnect.
People are dying for intimacy.

They ́re craving connection.

‐One of the most fascinating
shifts is how

in the last two years,
you see everyday people

getting on the platform.

‐we ́re on live on OnlyFans.

‐You ́re watching them
in their living room.

It ́s raw.
‐This is le boyfriend.

He came with me so that we can
shoot some videos.

‐There ́s no sound people.

There ́s no camera people.
There ́s no angles.

So you ́re literally
brought into their lives.

‐But for a lot of workers,
this is their full‐time job,

their only means
of making money.

‐You have to know how far
you ́re willing to go

and where you ́re
not willing to go.

You can wake up and realize that
you ́ve let your fans and money

and pressure push you farther
than you wanted to go.

You can ́t take that back.

♫♫

‐I did.

Someone made me aware
that I was nominated

for MILF Performer of the Year.

I just like being recognized
for my work, which is nice.

♫♫

So, this is my OnlyFans page,
and as you can see on

just the home page,
everything I post.

I offer a variety of things.

I offer custom pictures,
custom videos.

It ́s contest time, guys,

and this year,
I ́m giving away a date with me.

I sell merchandise on my site.

So, this is where I keep
all of my lingerie pieces.

It ́s just piece
after piece after piece.

And I ́ve sold a lot of pieces.

♫♫

Personally, in my OnlyFans,

I see about a
$15,000 a month income.

So, these are my messages here.
This is a new user here.

So he ́s just gotten what
my guidelines are for my site.

He can message me
back and forth,

but I do ask if you ́re going
to send a picture of your penis,

which does happen, that you also
send along a $20 tip.

I also do a thing
where I call it

my boyfriend for the week,

so they ́ll receive a little
extra special attention.

Little things ‐‐ just anything
to make you feel

like you ́re spending
more time with me

than anybody else gets because
my time is incredibly valuable.

So, yeah, it ́s nice for me

to be able to put a price tag
on that time.

♫♫

‐Interaction with fans
is important.

I take my time to go
through every message.

People are really nice, usually.

"Griffin, you ́re so hot
and generous." Really sweet.

I do get, sometimes,
a lot of them,

especially in winter,
like, when people

aren ́t doing stuff outside
or during lockdowns.

Someone else here ‐‐
"An absolute joy to watch."

It ́s nice. I mean, people
just enjoy the energy of it.

I ́ve done pornographic industry
stuff for about six years.

I don ́t have, like,
the biggest chest and, like,

the hardest abs.

I don ́t have
the biggest dick, clearly.

But I do really enjoy
making other people feel good.

Even in, like, the few years
that I was working,

I noticed a general pay decrease
for all performers.

That was a big thing.

OnlyFans took off

as, like, my primary source
of income fairly quickly.

There was maybe about
half a year where I was doing

both studio and fan sites.

Rates were still falling
with studio.

So it wasn ́t actually
that difficult for fan‐site work

to then outperform
the other income stream.

♫♫

‐My journey was not
a very normal one.

I actually worked in health care
for nearly a decade

before I moved here
to Los Angeles

to chase my dream
of becoming a stand‐up comedian.

♫♫

Along with that dream,

I realized how expensive
Los Angeles could be.

I ́ve been in the industry
just over six years.

‐Like you ́re
not even my real mom.

‐No, you ́re right.
I ́m not your real mom.

I ́m your stepmom.

It is so hard to even estimate
how many scenes I ́ve done

in a six‐year period,
but I would say 600‐plus.

♫♫

‐Could you make my nose smaller?
‐Yes.

‐A big thing about studio work
that you do

is sometimes you just say,
"I got to grin and bear it,"

and you do a lot of things
you don ́t want to do.

‐Perfect.
‐Beautiful.

I love it.

OnlyFans allows me to be
my own director, producer,

booker, everything.

‐It ́s great to control
your own product, you know?

It ́s great to be able
to, like, pick someone

that you have chemistry
or physical attraction to.

‐I have the ability now
to say no.

I know I can make
just as much money

sitting at home
doing my own stuff

than I would spending
eight hours on a set

working for a director
who I probably don ́t like.

♫♫

‐Well, OnlyFans ́ disruption to
the adult‐entertainment industry

is the performer
is in complete control.

When you worked for a studio,

you still weren ́t making
80 percent of your income.

‐It used to be that all porn
was created

by, like, this very
narrow field.

Now, like, there ́s all kinds of
porn that could be made

if people have, like, the will
and ability to do it.

OnlyFans ‐‐ it ́s a new way
for people to access it.

‐I did not predict that we ́d be
in a place now

where you could walk down
the street past anybody

and you could literally think
to yourself,

"That person might have
an OnlyFans."

‐I think people see
an opportunity there.

They recognize OnlyFans
as a gold mine.

‐There ́s a market
for everything.

You can eroticize everything
and anything.

‐That ́s true. That ́s true.

‐The problem is
everyone saw that.

And so the market has gotten
very, very saturated.

♫♫

‐To be successful on OnlyFans,
you have to market yourself.

It ́s a 24‐hour thing sometimes.

The goal is $150,000
by my one‐year mark.

There ́s no doubt in my mind
that I ́ll reach it.

So, my job was to book corporate
travel for business travelers.

At first, I was working
in Singapore,

and then I came back to America.

It wasn ́t until I made
my OnlyFans that I realized

that I was kind of
wasting my time.

♫♫

I was making more money
on my twerk videos on OnlyFans

than I was at my job.

So I ́m like, "Okay,

if I make $10,000 a month,
I am quitting my job."

So by February, I quit.

Like, that was that.

I ́m like, "All right,
maybe this really isn ́t a fluke.

Maybe this is something
that I can actually do."

So, you remember I said within
an hour, I should be at $10,000?

So, I ́m at $10,000 now.
My goal is reached.

Now anything else
is like extra money.

It ́s like
a weight off my shoulder

because that ́s at least
the bare minimum

that I want to reach for.

‐Thank you so much, Miss Wynter.
‐Thank you.

COVID ‐‐ we didn ́t know
about it until March.

At the time, I was like,
"Dang, I just quit my job.

Like, is it gonna be over?"

Because people were
losing their jobs,

and I ́m like,
"Okay, what ́s gonna happen?"

When I tell you
that when COVID hit,

that was my highest‐paid month,
it was crazy.

‐So, within the context of 2020,

we have record numbers
of unemployment,

we have an election.

‐The radical left.

‐Would you shut up, man?

‐I ́m speaking. I ́m speaking.

‐We have protests.

‐The pandemic.

♫♫

‐Yet again.

‐Everyone needs
to release their steam.

Everyone needs to scream.

‐The fact that people
lost their jobs and sort of

had to go back in their homes

and figure out
how to make money.

‐A lot of people have
a lot of downtime.

‐♫ Okay, I ́m bored in the house
and I ́m in the house, bored ♫

♫ Bored in the house
and I ́m in the house, bored ♫

♫ Bored in the motherfuckin ́
in the house, bored ♫

♫ And I ́m bored
in the motherfuckin ́ ♫

♫ In the house, bored ♫

‐They have a lot of
anxiety or depression.

Sex is an appropriate way
to self‐soothe.

‐There ́s been one thing
that ́s been helping me cope,

and I want to share with you.

‐We have Zoom meetings,
we have FaceTime.

We ́re doing everything through
and across screens,

so I think it ́s only natural
and only makes sense

that people would find an outlet
in OnlyFans, right?

‐OnlyFans was adding
anywhere from 300,000

to 500,000 users a day,

they said, or at least
that ́s the peak.

They grew to generating
more than $250 million a month.

OnlyFans takes a 20‐percent cut.

That was up 500 percent
over the year before.

♫♫

‐Early on in 2020,
I was still living in New York.

I was out there doing modeling.

Trips began to get canceled.
Gigs began to get canceled.

Always start with five
to 10 minutes with the bands.

♫♫

And so, it was supposed to be
like two to four weeks

in Salt Lake
before passing through.

Now, here we are.

♫♫

I stick to mainly erotic art.

I always cut right before dick.

I do implied nudes.

This one was shot frontal,

but the shadowing and editing
down was to make it like this.

I remember a batch of videos
I did getting ready

in the morning,
brushing my teeth.

Right? Like, I don ́t know.

It ́s been an interesting
frontier, man.

There is a constant pressure

to continue
ramping up your content,

but, like, there are
definitely lines

that I at least see
for myself in my art

where it ́s like
this is too much,

this makes it become this.

♫♫

‐Indiana ́s a very
conservative state,

and Fort Wayne
is very conservative.

♫♫

It ́s kind of funny because
as many churches as we have,

we also have a lot of
strip clubs.

I work during the day
as a mechanic.

As a female, you definitely
get questioned more

because you ́re not seen as much.

There ́s always that guy that
feels like you don ́t belong.

You feel like a bunny rabbit
in a wolf cage.

I started seeing, in the field,

how much some people
were making, like, on average.

And it wasn ́t exactly
what I thought.

If I wanted a race car
before I was 60 or 70,

if I could,
how was I gonna do it?

♫♫

‐Eyes over here.

‐I provide all different
kinds of content.

‐Okay, look over here. 1, 2, 3.

‐Solo videos, sex tapes,
things like that.

Part of me was like,
"Could I get fired for this?"

I was like, "No. No, no, no."
And then

And then I would just
kind of leave it at that

and not try and think about it.

For the longest time,
I was taking my own photos

and I didn ́t have
any professional photos,

and I had no complaints.

I think that ́s what people like
about OnlyFans, though,

is that it ́s not always
this big production.

It ́s more personal.

When they come in

and they log on
and they want to talk to me,

they ́re actually talking to me.

On OnlyFans, you can
see me naked,

you can sext with me.

You can talk to me.
I ́ll answer you.

It ́s a more personal interaction
versus, "Oh, I ́m just gonna go

on this porn website
and just watch some porn."

Like, it ́s different, you know?

‐♫ Ah ♫

♫ The numero ♫

♫ Ain ́t gonna do ♫

♫♫

‐Well, if you are a really
successful artist, creator,

even executive,

you ́re always looking to see
what you think is next,

what could be
the next great platform.

‐I think that for celebrities,

OnlyFans is the new
"Playboy" centerfold.

It creates controversy,
it gives you edge,

it makes you seem
more progressive.

It makes you seem like
you ́re less industry.

Yes, so, I heard the song with
Beyoncé and Megan Thee Stallion,

when she shouted out,
"OnlyFans."

‐♫ Hips TikTok when I dance
on that Demon Time ♫

And I was like, "Okay, now."

I ́m pretty sure
a bunch of girls signed up

just off of her promotions.

‐I mean, I love
what Beyoncé has done

for just being,
like, a horny lady.

‐We ́re recognized now.

‐In our culture,

we let celebrities
really legitimize things.

If a celebrity is engaging
something or talking about it,

it gives it
more worth and value.

‐Cardi B joining OnlyFans
was also huge.

‐She started it right around
the release of "WAP"...

‐♫ Now from the top,
make it drop ♫

♫ That ́s some wet and gushy ♫

‐...which was her
smash hit in 2020.

‐♫ I ́m talking wap, wap, wap ♫

‐Cardi B was probably, for me,
the first person

to get people ́s eyes
and attention on the site

in a way that didn ́t have to do
with sex or sex work.

‐Cardi B announced her plans for
OnlyFans in an Instagram post.

She also made clear
that she would not be using it

to show her naked body
or anything like that.

‐No, I ́m not gonna be
showing my titties

or my pussy or my ass ‐‐
none of that stuff.

You know, I ́m saying
just straight‐up

real‐life content shit.

‐She such a magnetic personality

that I could see why
someone would subscribe.

‐The best thing that she posted
was a behind‐the‐scenes

of the filming
of the video for WAP

in which you see, for example,
her and Megan Thee Stallion...

‐This is our albino Burmese.

‐...like, them having snakes
put on their body.

‐Aah, it ́s cold!
‐Oh!

‐Ay‐yi‐yi‐yi.

‐You can get
a little bit closer.

‐I ́m too good for this.

‐And then, also, the two of them
completely freaked out,

which is really the whole
purpose of OnlyFans.

‐♫ I read the sky so I want you
to park that big Mack truck ♫

♫ Right in this little garage ♫

‐The celebrities
that are doing OnlyFans now

are ones that you go, "Yeah,
I could see them doing that."

You know, it ́s not Tom Hanks.

It ́s not the Reese Witherspoons.

I think it ́s brave to have one.

I got to say, I think it ́s
honestly, like, brave.

Yeah.

Donnell Rawlings is one of
the funniest people out there.

I think I first found out about
him from "Chappelle ́s Show."

‐Ashy Larry. Marcy Projects.
Marcy, son. What?

‐What is he doing on there?

Is he, like, showing his dick?

Nikki ́s nasty.

Nikki don ́t have to subscribe
to my OnlyFans page.

She can just
call me on the phone.

‐It ́s your boy Donnell Rawlings
with a Big Mike podcast,

and I ́m here only for OnlyFans.

This podcast I want to do
for OnlyFans

was the Big Mike podcast,
and basically it was being

a little bit more explicit
than I normally would.

Most people ́s last question was,

"How was it, working on
the Dave Chappelle show?"

Needless to say, it was one of
the best experiences

I ́ve had other than
losing my virginity.

OnlyFans figure out a way
to evolve and sell sex.

Now they ́re figuring out a way
to sell celebrity.

‐We have Mario, the R&B singer.

‐I want to thank all my new
OnlyFans fans

for coming over here.
‐

‐Some of the Real Housewives,
I guess, are doing it.

That ́s no surprise.

‐We ́re gonna do
all things Dorita.

We ́re gonna make it nice.

‐There has been a lot of
celebrities joining OnlyFans.

And I try to tell people
all the time,

you have to subscribe
to a celebrity ́s OnlyFans

with a grain of salt.

You think that they may be nude.
They may not be.

We do this,
and we do it for real.

Like, if we say,
"Hey, we are having sex

on OnlyFans,"
that ́s what we ́re doing.

So the messages ‐‐ this is
when you subscribe to my page,

you get a welcome message,
so that ́s what this is.

I did send out a PPV yesterday,

and I can check
the statistics right here.

So far, 459 people viewed it,
eight people bought it.

When it ́s something like sex,

I ́ll have my boyfriend
hold the phone

and he ́ll just get it
from his point of view.

Everything sexual is from his
point of view on my OnlyFans.

You can ́t see his full face
because of privacy purposes.

Now I ́m doing, you know,
pornographic content.

I ́m still doing my
twerking and teasing.

It ́s just now I ́m more,
like, explicit with it.

‐I just started seeing
how much more money

people would be willing to pay
for more content,

and I was like, "Well, that ́s
the whole point of doing this,

is to make money, so..."

I guess I just became more and
more desensitized to it, so...

And it ́s with my
boyfriend, anyway,

so it ́s somebody that I trust.

Their sweaters ‐‐ I put
in the wash, babe.

‐Oh, they ́re still
in the washer.

‐My boyfriend and I
met in college.

Honestly, we were smoke buddies.

They were such cute boys!

He ́s more shy, so I would be
like, you know,

"Tell me if you don ́t want
to do it," and he ́d be like,

"Well, I ́m a little
uncomfortable,

but let ́s just
see what happens."

But then we just get more
and more comfortable,

but always making sure that,

like, if he didn ́t want
to do anything,

I didn ́t force him
to do anything.

‐ ́Cause the last brake,
I changed the calipers bad.

‐Oh.

‐Yeah, I think I still got
some chunks of metal in my shoe.

‐Lovely.

I remember coming home
with chunks of metal in my hair

and everywhere else, stuck in
my bra strap.

Everywhere.
‐

‐It does make it more difficult
with him being my boyfriend

and also being my video partner,

because if he has a long day
at work and he ́s exhausted,

I ́m not gonna force him
to make a video with me.

You know, like, we ́re not
gonna do all that

because it ́s definitely extra.

It ́s not like just putting
your phone up

really quick
and doing whatever, so...

‐So, what I ́m gonna be
doing tonight

is kind of going through
some different looks.

♫♫

Ooh, yeah, this guy.

Masks are a vibe right now,

so I do have a handful
of some fashion masks.

I like doing things
that are both really bright

and then, also,
classical styling,

so things that are just blacks
or really solid colors.

I kind of purposely
postured it in a way where

it ́s very sexually ambiguous.

I ́m straight, by the way,
but I wear things that are

really, really flamboyant.

I have no problem posting my
underwear, obviously, you know,

my butt out on OnlyFans
or whatever.

It ́s a caricatured version
of a character based on me.

This is ‐‐
it ́s a male string bikini.

Doing the modeling that I did
even before OnlyFans,

I encountered situations
with dating women

that kind of
had an issue with it.

You know, I think
they didn ́t like a guy

that would be willing
to pose nude.

Anyone that really
can ́t roll with that

can ́t really roll with me.

♫♫

‐There ́s a history of
celebrities doing provocative,

like, taboo things, sexually ‐‐

posing for "Playboy"...

‐♫ When I get what I want,
is it wrong? ♫

♫ Is it really, really wrong? ♫

‐...doing a nude scene,
and it gets people talking.

‐♫ Yeah ♫

‐Christina Aguilera ́s
"Dirrty" video...

‐♫ Oh, I ́m overdue ♫

♫ Give me some room,
I ́m coming through ♫

‐...is like the perfect...

example.

That is the one music video

that, like,
all of my male friends

say was like their
introduction to porn.

‐♫ It ́s time for my arrival,
uh, what ♫

‐So it ́s natural in many ways
that a lot more progressive,

sexually liberated celebrities
might use OnlyFans

as an opportunity
to take that a step further.

Bella Thorne.
‐Bella Thorne.

‐Bella Thorne swooped in.

‐Ciao, Bella!
‐Bella!

‐Probably the most infamous
celebrity to join OnlyFans.

‐You either love me
or you hate me.

There ́s no in between.

‐Bella Thorne is a
former Disney star.

‐You ́re watching Disney Channel.

‐...known for the Disney series
"Shake It Up."

‐♫ Baby, set it off ♫

♫ Take it up a notch ♫

‐And she ́s tried
very aggressively

to shed this image of herself
as a child star.

‐♫ Shake it up ♫

‐I ́m not facing my imperfections
for your idea of perfect.

So if you don ́t like
how I say things,

you can kindly fuck off.

‐Whoo!
‐Seriously.

‐She first became famous
as sort of

in the Disney princess mold
and then rebelled against it

by taking a series
of more adult roles.

‐Oh, that ́s exciting.

‐She has built a persona
out of sensationalism.

‐She directed a porn.

And that won an award
at the PornHub Awards.

‐This film is one that opened
my mind creatively

and allowed me to really
push the limits as an artist.

And to be able to show
the world a raw, new,

fresh side of beauty
was obviously my end goal.

‐So she has sort of been
creating a name for herself

in the sex‐work industry.

‐♫ Can ́t knock it,
I ́m poppin ́ ♫

♫ I ́m Batman, you Robin ♫

♫ We really ain ́t stoppin ́ ♫

♫ You hatin ́? Just watchin ́? ♫

‐Bella Thorne joined OnlyFans
in the middle of 2020,

sort of as it was starting
to really explode.

‐Excuse me.
I have an announcement.

♫ Drop ♫

♫ Puta, bato, movie, poison ♫

♫ Mami ́s always talkin ́,
no saben ♫

♫ Puta, bato, movie, poison ♫

♫ Mami ́s always talkin ́,
no saben ♫

♫♫

‐Bella Thorne was posting
photos and videos

from behind the scenes
of her life,

often, you know,
wearing a bikini.

She said that she had joined
OnlyFans to research her role

for a movie with
the director Sean Baker.

‐And there was a conversation
that was had between her

and the director,
which she felt inspired

to create an OnlyFans
to learn more about the industry

and to use that
as a form of research.

♫♫

‐Twitter immediately exploded.

♫♫

‐I feel like all my friends
started talking about OnlyFans

after the Bella Thorne thing

and that it became
really a cultural moment

when that news story broke.

‐Bella charged $20
to subscribe to her page.

And then, also, you could pay

a lot more
in direct contributions.

‐Allegedly, within 24 hours,
she made $1 million.

But then she was very quick
to follow that up on Twitter,

with like, "Ha, I ́m not
posting any nudes."

‐She made $1 million.
She ́s Bella Thorne.

That ́s not even surprising.

Like, I would expect that.

‐A lot of it was just hype over,

you know, the prospect of seeing
this former Disney star naked.

And I think there was also
this aspect of, like,

"Oh, Bella Thorne is
really working to

destigmatize sex work,"
like this was so transgressive.

But that is not how
actual sex workers

felt about it at all.

‐Hey, Bella.

‐Hey.

♫♫

‐♫ I know you need it, baby ♫

♫ You love how it
makes you feel ♫

♫ Your body ́s elated ♫

♫ Rock to the beat of my drum ♫

‐♫ Let me break it down for ya ♫

♫ Explore my body like Dora ♫

‐Bella Thorne ‐‐ she was
the one that got heat

for going onto OnlyFans.

‐She has a rather libertine
approach to social media.

‐♫ I ́m‐a get you in trouble ♫

♫ Trouble ♫

‐She just shook up the room.
She just killed it, right?

‐Yeah, there ́s a lot of myself
in this video, yeah, so...

‐But then there was a
not‐so‐great side to this story.

It wasn ́t just about
normalizing sex work

and creating more eyeballs
and attention for OnlyFans.

It was also just about
the elitism that can exist

because here comes a celebrity

who doesn ́t work
in the industry,

who hasn ́t, you know,
cut her teeth

and put in the time and hours,

and yet they ́re able
to make money

and take attention
away from workers

who have put that groundwork in.

‐This one person with
so much influence

just kind of messed it up.

‐Her success sparked
this backlash

among many of the core users
of OnlyFans,

many of the sex workers.

♫♫

‐They viewed Bella Thorne as an
interloper, a sex work tourist,

somebody who had sort of
swept in to capitalize

off of the increased
popularity of this website

and the increased popularity
of the sex industry in general

without fully understanding the
implications of doing sex work.

‐For the people that are
upset with Bella Thorne...

shut the fuck up.

She brings more attention
to OnlyFans. You have a page.

When those profiles hit,

when they talk about
Celebrity of the Week,

they introduce somebody else,
guess who gets to shine?

You.

Stop being petty.
Everybody can eat on OnlyFans.

You might not eat
as much as she eats,

but everybody can eat.

‐Someone like Bella Thorne
dropping in

gentrifies the platform.

People that don ́t even need
the help of it

jumping in, sucking the life
out of it, saturating it

and then jumping back out
and moving on to something else.

‐I don ́t feel threatened by it.

I don ́t feel like it
changed my income.

At the end of the day,
I ́m still just a person

who says to each their own.

‐It did show...

an unawareness
of the difficulties

and the costs of being
a sex worker of any sort.

And this happens a lot.

‐I would consider myself
a sex worker.

There ́s always that stigma that
comes with being in that field.

There is a stigma
of being on OnlyFans.

At first, I tried to kind of
control the narrative

because when people
were finding out,

I know how they can be
with gossip and rumors.

After some service advisers
found out about my OnlyFans,

one service adviser,
he came up to me

and he was like, you know,

"Saturday I ́m drinking wine
with my wife.

And I was thinking about
how you created that page."

And I was like, "Oh,

that ́s weird that you ́re
thinking about that

when you ́re at home
drinking with your wife."

I said, you know,
"If you don ́t like what you see,

maybe don ́t tell people
and keep it to yourself."

You don ́t really want
that kind of attention

from your coworkers.

But I was also like, you know,

like, "You ́re trying
to get your money.

You ́re trying
to earn your money.

Don ́t let other people think,
you know, affect you."

♫♫

‐Do you think I ́m
a worthless whore

because I do OnlyFans?

‐No!
‐Okay.

I just wanted to make sure
because people on social media

seem to think
that you don ́t love me,

that my parents didn ́t raise me
right, that I have no morals

and self‐respect
and all of these things.

So I just wanted them to hear
straight from my mother

that you don ́t think
I ́m a worthless whore

and that you do
love me very much.

‐I do love you very much.

You ́re a grown woman,

and you make the decisions
that you make.

No, you ́re not a worthless whore
at all. Thank you.

‐Okay.

I ́m so tired of
the self‐respect ‐‐

the morals conversation
because that is all subjective.

Like, we do have morals
and self‐respect,

and because we ́re showing
our bodies on the Internet,

they feel like we can ́t possibly
have, you know, self‐love

or we grew up in a broken
household or whatever.

And that ́s just not true. We are
comfortable with ourselves.

We ́re confident in our bodies.

So we are putting it out there,
and we ́re making money doing it.

‐For every few compliments
or something,

there will be at least one
where some person ́s like ‐‐

"You suck,"
"Your face looks dumb,"

or, "That hairstyle
looks like crap."

‐The most popular comments
I get is I ́m fat.

"You ́re fat," "You need
to lose weight," whatever.

‐"You ́re just a stupid whore."

Like, "I bet your parents
are proud." "You ́re so gross."

‐Then there ́s ones where
it ́s like ‐‐ oh, my God, dude,

I ́ve had people send me, like,
direct messages

where they ́re not even
commenting on this, you know,

publicly, but they ́re sending
these messages telling me,

like, how much they hate me
and how ‐‐ I mean,

just stuff where I ́m like,
"You don ́t even know me."

First of all,

my mom has small boobs,
my mom ́s mom had small boobs.

It ́s genetic.

Like, I can ́t do anything
about the fact

that I have small boobs.

I mean, I can get them done,

but my boobs really
don ́t bother me like that.

As far as my "long" ass crack,

like I said,
I didn ́t ask for that.

That ́s purely genetic.

It just sucks,
but at this point, it ́s normal.

‐When you post anything
of yourself on the Internet,

you ́re opening yourself
up to criticism.

If people are paying
for that content,

they feel more entitled
to be critical.

‐Everyone has a right to make
a living the way

that makes sense to them,
but culturally,

we only really legitimize

using certain forms
of capital, right?

So we ́re comfortable
with someone

making their living
off of their intellect.

Awesome.
Intellectual capitalism.

We ́re comfortable with people
using their athleticism, right?

But we ́re not comfortable
with erotic use. Why?

‐I ́ll give you, like, the
liberal‐arts‐graduate answer.

We live in, like,
a patriarchal society,

and people are really scared
of seeing women

who have any form
of sexual agency,

and women
taking their clothes off

and making money for it
on the Internet

is really offensive
to a lot of people.

‐It was the week of Valentine ́s.

I was just working on a car,

and I get told that I need
to go up to the boss ́s office.

They ́re like, you know, "We hear
you have an OnlyFans page.

You ́re a distraction.

The guys have seen your page."

I was just immediately
frustrated and pissed off,

especially when they told me
that they thought

I was a distraction in the shop.

I ́m like, "I post this stuff
on my own time."

It ́s like I was this big,
bewitching female

and these poor guys
couldn ́t help themselves.

And, you know, like, I put
the food out and the dog ate it.

You know,
that ́s the way they acted.

Felt like a giant
double standard.

I got fired for having
an OnlyFans.

♫♫

‐♫ Is like a movie ♫

♫ So roll the film,
roll the film ♫

‐Bella Thorne said
that she had joined OnlyFans

to research her role
for a movie with the director,

Sean Baker, who I believe
then said that it wasn ́t clear

that this was really the case.

‐The idea that she would be
doing this

to research a role
really incensed sex workers

because, I mean,
for them it ́s not a role.

This is their real life.

Bella Thorne eventually
apologized on social media

and said that she would try
to be more sensitive

to sex workers ́ concerns.

‐Bella Thorne apologized,
saying that she was not

seeking to undercut
the sex workers on there

but, if anything,
to kind of help

reduce the stigma against it
and help legitimize OnlyFans

in the eyes
of most people in the public.

‐That apology was not
satisfactory to some of

the sex workers that I talked to
in my reporting.

Well, in part because
she ́s still on OnlyFans.

‐I looked this morning,
and she had posted

regularly in the last few weeks.

She ́s a case of a celebrity
that continues to post.

‐OnlyFans wasn ́t gonna come
out and condemn Bella Thorne.

It was unbelievable
publicity for them.

‐She was the first
sort of celebrity

to disrupt the platform, but I
don ́t think she ́ll be the last.

♫♫

‐So, OnlyFans was
started in 2016

by this tech entrepreneur
named Timothy Stokely.

He ́s out of London,
in his mid‐30s.

‐There ́s very little
known about Tim Stokely.

‐One of the most elusive
figures I ́ve ever talked to.

He comes from the camming world.
He was mildly successful.

‐OnlyFans is, for Tim Stokely,

the culmination of 10 years
of trial and error

at the nexus of pornography,
sex work, and social media.

When I spoke with Tim Stokely
in late 2020,

he described the only difference
between OnlyFans

and other social networks
as the payment button.

‐♫ Glitter, glitter,
watch me flicker ♫

♫ Silver screens and magazines ♫

♫ Take a, take a,
take a number ♫

♫ Number one,
let ́s have some fun ♫

‐One of the reasons I wanted
to sign up for OnlyFans

was because they
reached out to me.

The pitch for me was that
they ́re trying to increase

the eyeballs to the page

and introduce other entertainers
away from just a sex thing.

‐Let ́s be honest, I haven ́t seen
one promo tweet

from OnlyFans that acknowledges
a stripper, a porn star,

or, you know, someone ‐‐
a cam girl.

‐I think that OnlyFans is not
fully transparent

about its ties
to the adult industry

because it wants to profit
off of its sex‐worker user base

while simultaneously making room
for itself to grow further

by attracting
mainstream influencers.

♫♫

‐I don ́t know
if the next Hugh Hefner

is gonna come from OnlyFans,
but I do think, in a way,

Timothy Stokely is like
Hugh Hefner, right?

All these creators are kind of
his children ‐‐ his "bunnies."

It ́s still so early to tell
or sort of foresee

what ́s gonna happen.

‐Well, I think that what
sets "Playboy" apart is

the fact that it isn ́t
just based on skin.

It is an attempt to incorporate
sex into the fabric of society.

♫♫

‐Let ́s see. So, this one I ́m
looking through now ‐‐

I have a batch of ones
from the most recent stuff

that I ́ve shot, like, that
was kind of OnlyFans‐leaning.

I ́m usually dealing with
very minor differences

in the images,
like slight head turns

or expressions and stuff.

You know, how ́s the face?

I edit out blemishes,
minor things like that.

One of the things that ́s made it
feel less awkward,

staring at yourself
all the time, is when I edit,

I generally zoom in
to where my head is cut off.

So it ́s just a body.

Given the nature of what I do,
I ́m seeing my body a lot.

I ́m practicing posing
in the mirror

or working out in the mirror.

It ́s just something that I view
as almost like a sculpture

where there ́s a certain way
that the symmetry

and stuff would look.

The body‐building plight
is you ́re never done.

There ́s always things
you can do to improve.

I want to have
a life after modeling.

There are certain doors that
would be hard shut with that,

you know?

The guys that go all in on that

and make their money,
make their bread,

use that to invest in other
things and whatever ‐‐

do it, great.

But I feel like it ́s one
of those things where it ́s like

you got to go all in
or don ́t even touch it.

‐When your income
and your livelihood

is based on how attractive
and desirable you are,

you are taking on a new battle.

‐I think that there is naturally

going to be pressure
on your body

if your body
becomes your business.

So you ́re going to
scrutinize yourself a lot more

and you ́re going to be
a lot more mindful

of what your body looks like

and how others
are viewing your body.

‐You have to know how far
you ́re willing to go

and where you ́re not
willing to go.

You can wake up and realize that
you ́ve let your fans and money

and pressure push you farther
than you wanted to go.

You can ́t take that back.

♫♫

‐There ́s this girl.
She also does OnlyFans.

‐Mm‐hmm.

‐And her and her husband
are polyamorous.

So, she ́s been following me
on Twitter for a minute.

She ́s leaving tomorrow,
so today ́s ‐‐

‐Oh, where does she live?
‐Alabama.

‐Oh, okay.

‐So today is really
the only day that we have.

Me and my mom
had a conversation about,

like, her being my Kris Jenner
to quit her job

and manage me full‐time.

We were just like, "Okay."

Like, we ́ve both
never done this before.

So we ́re gonna see how it goes,

but since we never did it
before, we also want to

make sure that we all were
comfortable doing it.

That ́s why we wanted somebody
who was open

and who has experience
with that type of thing.

‐I mean, you can be
comfortable with her.

‐No, yeah. Right.

‐But what I ́m saying is you ́ve
never touched a female body,

so you don ́t know, like ‐‐
what if you get grossed out?

‐That ́s why I ́m not doing that.

‐Okay.
‐You know what I ́m saying?

It ́s just touchy‐feely with her.
‐Okay, okay, okay.

‐You know what I ́m saying?

‐So she ́s just pretty much
gonna be there,

maybe interact with him,
but you ‐‐ not so much.

‐I mean, we ́re gonna
be interacting,

but not I ́m not in
a super hard‐core way.

A threesome with another woman

is something that I ́ve
always wanted to do,

and it ́s so hard to set
something like that up

because it ́s like how do you
approach a woman

to have a threesome?

We didn ́t really want to rush it
because I was still nervous.

I also know that it would make
a lot of money on OnlyFans.

I just kind of anxious just
to see how it ́s gonna go.

♫♫

‐Hey.
‐

Okay, so, he had told me that
yesterday was your first time

flying on a plane.

I was nervous. I ́m like,
"What ́s gonna happen?"

Like, "What if I don ́t like it?
What if it ́s awkward?"

I feel like everything
is gonna go fine, so...

‐I ́m excited.
‐I know.

I ́m kind of excited, too.
I ́m just like, "Okay, yeah."

Now ready to do it.
Now I ́m ready to get started.

♫♫

‐Tell me how it went.

‐Okay, so, I ́m definitely
gonna do it again.

You start doing it.
‐Getting into it.

‐Yeah. Yeah, it was...
‐And it ́s like, "Okay."

‐That was ‐‐ I ́m doing it again.
That ́s all I can say.

‐It ́s like watching porn,
but like ‐‐

‐In real life!
‐...it ́s right there.

Yeah, that ́s what I ́m saying.

Like, that ́s a good way
to describe it.

It ́s like you ́re watching porn
in real life.

So I just ‐‐ I was
comfortable with her.

She was comfortable with me,

We were comfortable
with each other,

and it was like we didn ́t
overstep any boundaries

because prior to that,

we talked about, like,
what we will and will not do.

And we stuck to that,
and it was just ‐‐ it was great.

I have more followers
on social media than her,

so I promoted it more.

I told my subscribers,

"Hey, if you subscribe
to our OnlyFans,

I ́ll sell you the video
at a cheaper rate."

I charged $75 because that was
my first threesome video

and everybody kept
asking me to do one.

I was selling the full video.

Then I was also selling
the clips individually.

I want to say I made probably
$8,000 off of that.

Yeah.

‐There ́s so many people
coming to the site every day.

You don ́t have enough time
to worry about competition.

Your competition is you.

And that ́s what I ́ve always
looked at it is,

"Okay, if this is how good
my quality of content is,

how do I make it better?"

On our way to New York.

Almost there.

I ́ve always kind of
wanted bigger boobs.

I always felt like my boobs
were really small.

That in combination with the
fact that with porn stars

and people that are sex workers,
when they do get enhancements,

they tend to also
get wider clientele base.

If it ́s something that ́s
gonna do nothing

but potentially help me,
why not do it?

‐Literally, getting my boobs
done changed my life.

Like, for sure.
‐Wow.

‐Kirsten.
All right, let ́s do it.

Any change of heart?

We ́re still happy with
a nice, healthy "D"?

‐Yep.

‐It ́s not uncommon to get
an audible that morning.

Like, "Fuck it,
I want to go huge!"

You know? Like, oh, no.

‐Some people were like, "Oh,
D ́s gonna be too big."

And I ́m like, "Yeah, but I
kind of want them to be big.

‐Yeah!
‐That ́s the point.

I didn ́t come here for ‐‐
‐That ́s why you ́re paying money.

‐Yeah.
‐Yeah.

The number‐one regret
women have is,

"I should have gone
a little bit bigger."

‐

♫♫

‐I didn ́t want it
to look too fake.

I wanted to look as big
as possible

while staying mildly
natural‐looking.

I was just, like ‐‐
kept telling myself,

like, "What ́s done is done.

It ́s gonna look fine.

It ́s gonna be all worth it
in the end. Pain is temporary."

I was trying to focus
on that the entire time.

‐So, we did a breast
augmentation.

We went through the axilla,
we put in 400ccs,

high‐profile, under the muscle
just as we planned,

and she looks just as far
as we anticipated.

Come take a look before she
arises and her new life begins.

‐Ooh!

‐Athletes go through
extreme lengths

to make their body perform
in certain ways.

And as a sex worker,
why should you be stigmatized

for going through those
exact same or similar lengths

to make your body perform a
certain way for optimal results?

Personally, I think
that my litmus for it would be

if I ́m getting plastic surgery,

because it ́s a personal decision
that I ́m making

because I want to get
the best results from my body,

the best results and experience
of sharing my body

with the world and my business,

then that would be
a place of empowerment.

‐You want some more Gatorade?

‐Yeah.
‐Yeah?

Following breast surgery,

you cannot sleep on your stomach
or side for six weeks.

We just talked about that.

We ́re not gonna be
running, jumping, swimming,

any physical activity.

‐It was way more intense
than I expected.

I was not able to even
sit up on my own.

I was out of it.

‐Hey!
‐Parked in front?

‐I was very much like,
"Why did I do this?"

♫♫

‐So, this is Sunday,
about five days post‐op.

As you can see,
I have this brace on.

These are the incisions.

He went in through my armpit.

♫♫

I ́ve read some articles
where there were porn stars

that ended up getting
their boobs or butt

or both done, and they said

that it helped them
tremendously in their income.

So we ́ll see. You know,
fingers crossed if it helps.

And if it doesn ́t,
it is what it is.

At least it got the boobs
I wanted to get, so it ́s fine.

♫♫

‐Do you have a goal
for next year?

‐I do know my one goal for 2021

is to consistently
make 20K a month.

‐I just really want you
to build your brand.

‐And I do, too.

‐If you come up with your
sex‐toy line or, you know,

travel ‐‐
whatever you want to do,

it ́s like, people are gonna ‐‐
you have a following.

‐You know, people for months
had been telling me,

"Do OnlyFans, do OnlyFans,
do OnlyFans."

And I ́m like,
"Why would I do that?"

Like, you know what I mean?

And I did it not knowing

how successful I ́d be,
you know what I ́m saying?

And so it ́s like I just
don ́t want to fail.

♫♫

‐OnlyFans was always
just kind of

supposed to be a
background thing.

I ́m really thankful to have it,

but I definitely don ́t consider
myself, like, a full‐time

OnlyFans person.

It ́s making money to help me
keep moving through this.

But as soon as it ́s feasible,

I really want to get my fitness
app dropped and get doing that.

Probably do a little bit
more personal training,

but preferably building up a
client base in New York.

I mean, I don ́t know.

There ́s only so many times

you can shoot your butt
in small underwear or, like ‐‐

or shoot something implied
or whatever,

and I don ́t have any interest
in pushing that line further.

♫♫

‐Every creator ́s story
is different,

but it ́s definitely
not easy work.

It is an actual job,
and it is actual labor.

‐What OnlyFans has done ‐‐
it ́s promoted a lot more bodies

as worthy of being looked at
and not just worthy,

but being a valuable investment
to look at.

‐It will destigmatize.
It will legitimize,

it will normalize
the fact that sex exists,

that sex isn ́t going to harm us.

‐It perplexes me
why sex is taboo,

because it ́s why everyone
does everything.

Like, it ́s why
this chair exists,

because some guy wanted
to stick his penis in something

and he thought that if he
developed ‐‐ like, this ‐‐

would make money
off of this cool chair,

that women might like him more.

Men like ‐‐ you know,
everything is motivated by sex.

So to me, it ́s insane that
we don ́t talk about it more.

OnlyFans will be talked
about in my act,

and it will be
a cultural moment,

much like when Beyoncé
I mentioned it.

Just kidding. No one will care.

‐OnlyFans has become such
a part of pop culture

that when you say it now,
people get aroused.

You know, you say something
to a chick ‐‐ "What ́s up?

Check out my OnlyFans."

They could be like,
"Get out of my face,

you ashy motherfucker."

"I ́m on OnlyFans."

"What are you doing
on OnlyFans?"

You ́ll see their brows
just pop up like, "What ́s next?"

♫♫

‐We ́ve seen a lot
of social networks

kind of come and go quickly,
and we ́ve also seen some

social networks
with staying power.

We ́re at that inflection point
for OnlyFans.

‐Things go in fads.

So that ́s why I say get in now,
make your money,

because we don ́t know
how much longer

it ́s going to be there.

And especially for sex workers.

‐This could be, in a year, done,
Maybe I ́ll get five years.

Who knows?

‐I was recently offered
a position to apprentice

at a new custom shop.

My boyfriend and I actually
just set up a race team ‐‐

D & K Motorsports.

Work for ourselves
would be the ultimate goal.

Going into OnlyFans
has given me

so much more opportunity
than I would have had otherwise.

So I don ́t think
I ́ll ever look back on it

and be upset
or hate myself for it.

I don ́t think
it ́ll ever be a negative.

If anything, I ́ll be like,
"Hey, I lived a little."

"Look at that."

‐Manifestation is a real thing
because I ́ve always said

I wanted to be
social‐media famous.

I wanted to be
financially stable.

Today is December 12,

and I just finished getting
my eyebrows done.

I literally just stepped outside
the nail salon.

And I log into OnlyFans
and I see

that I have officially
made $150,000.

I realize that the things that
you say really are powerful.

At this point,
it ́s seeming like anything

that I say kind of comes true.

It ́s crazy.

A lot of people look at sex work

as something to do in the
meantime, in‐between time,

and not as something that
they can do as an actual career.

I feel like
I ́ve gotten this popular.

Why not make a career out of it?

Right now,
I ́m just riding this wave,

you know, until it ́s gone.
