Original subtitles

Guys, today I'm filming a documentary about OnlyFans.

These are my tits.

This is a little twerk.

Just, you know, giving you all the fucking things you need to be satisfied

today.

Love you. Have a good day, guys.

That's what I do.

Why did I join OnlyFans?

When we launched, we had, I would say, a couple hundred bucks left in the bank.

I'm not kidding. My house was going into foreclosure. Did I do it out of

desperation? Fuck yes, I did. Did I think it would empower me just to be on

OnlyFans? Like, no, that wasn't the fucking point. You know, it empowered me

to take care of my family. So the negativity that came with it, bring it

the fuck on.

Hollywood has a new power player in town, OnlyFans.

Celebrities are flocking to OnlyFans, leaving very little to the imagination.

I think when you're a celebrity, they forget that you probably enjoy

sex as well.

I found freedom in my sexuality on the site.

But the reason why OnlyFans has become such a force in only a few short years

should tell you everything you need to know about the current state of the

entertainment industry.

Hollywood, the actual industry itself, there's a lot of shifty shit that goes

on in Hollywood, and we all know that. It's about freedom.

And I don't have to answer to fucking anybody right now.

Celebrities are getting naked and getting very, very rich.

I was lucky enough to compete at a very high level in the UFC from the age of

20. She fights with tenacity. She is ferocious.

My first 24 hours on OnlyFans, I made more money than my entire UFC career.

I remember vividly the day that I knew I was going to start doing OnlyFans. I was

in this weird state of disbelief about how much money it was generating

immediately. Flex your muscles.

Struggle just a little more.

Struggle harder, baby.

But maybe most important, they're gaining something they're not used to

having within the confines of Hollywood.

Control. You're posting nudes. I don't show vagina, but like there's boobs and

there's butt and I am naked. Yeah. It's funny that you think I have no control

now because I have the absolute all the control.

I'm really focused on OnlyFans.

Because it's my creative direction and what I want to do.

And I now am the boss. I am the boss.

And it feels good.

Any hesitation?

No. In my real life, I walk around my house naked. I don't know. You've known

me for so long. I always have my fits up.

I think with OnlyFans, it became such a phenomenon because it was a way for

people to make money and own their own content. And if you're a celebrity, you

can make millions of dollars.

If you're an actor or an actress, you need to be paid by somebody to perform a

role. You have to be given a script or you have to be told what to do, what

time to show up, what you're going to wear. The advantage for celebrities to

be on OnlyFans is they get to be their own boss.

Seemingly, overnight, everyone in Hollywood started talking about the

potential of OnlyFans.

I really think I should do an OnlyFans for my feed. I feel like it would be

really lucrative.

What is OnlyFans?

OnlyFans is whatever you want it to be. Got an OnlyFans coming soon. Is that an

OnlyFans account? Every time you send out a picture of you, you got a hashtag

OnlyFans. OnlyFans of mine? No, no, no, no.

You have an OnlyFans?

Yeah. Peace out.

You can make a lot of money doing this. OnlyFans is a great way to monetize your

following. I think what's making a lot of celebrities make the jump to OnlyFans

is they can really have access to pretty steady revenue.

You're kind of looking for that consistent monthly income that you're

not necessarily getting if you go on tour or if you land a really big acting

gig. You're going to have these really high months and then your income is

going to fall.

50, 75, or even 80 to 90 percent.

I think there's still a stigma that OnlyFans is pornographic, and it's

really not.

But I think that celebrities are figuring out pretty fast.

And when they start to see their friends who aren't working or aren't on shows

but are leveling up financially, I think that they're starting to take notice

pretty quickly. From a consumer standpoint, it gave them something

different than porn to go to, but it also gave people a window into a content

creator's life, celebrities feel really inaccessible to most of us in day-to-day

life. So there's not really an expectation that you would ever get to

see them naked. I've been a writer at Hustler Magazine for almost a decade.

And I can just tell like just from the adult industry is that what people say

publicly is not what people consume privately.

People like adult content.

My name's Lexi Goldberg. You may know me from Netflix's The Ultimatum Queer Love.

I am literally here in my cutest bikini and I'm going on dates with eight

beautiful women.

For me, being on a TV show was something I never thought I would do.

You are not my typical type.

Like, I can't believe you're wearing jewelry and you're, like, playing with

your hair and I'm into you. I just don't understand it.

I just tend to have that effect on people.

Obviously, like...

I can't hide the fact that I'm heavily endowed in the front. And I think, you

know, I'm used to kind of walking down the beach and, you know, people will

look and stare and it's like, they get to do that for free. So why not get to

do that in a place where I can monetize, kind of create my own schedule, build my

own life. And at the same time, like build real connections with people who

maybe are interested in me that wouldn't be able to have access to me otherwise.

When OnlyFans launched, it quickly found its footing by providing a safe and

lucrative avenue for sex workers and others to produce adult content.

With the evolution of social media, the creator economy is booming.

OnlyFans has 150 million users worldwide.

Fans of OnlyFans are only fans of one thing, right?

These women make an extraordinary amount of money. The company pays out a

whopping $300 million every month. We've paid out over... We're $10 billion in

creator earnings since being founded.

But when former Disney star Bella Thorne made the jump to the platform in 2020,

everything changed.

Hey guys, welcome to my OnlyFans.

It really is this completely new way to actually get to know me. This way of

connecting with me that...

you just don't have on any other platform.

I think for Bella Thorne and anyone that started on OnlyFans when it was more

taboo, anytime you go up against the grain, there will be pushback.

By selling exclusive content at $20 per month, Thorne has made $2 million on the

platform in less than a week. Oh, my goodness. People are thirsty for Bella

Thorne. Bella Thorne joined OnlyFans. She joined the site, but she did cause

the site to crash.

How long ago was she on Disney?

It was a few years ago.

Okay. I hope my daughter hasn't followed her to her new career.

It's insulting what she did to sex workers.

You know what I'm saying? I really support that lifestyle. I really do.

I think it's insulting to enter that space.

I think it's really unfair that Bella Thorne gets a lot of criticism for being

one of the first celebrities to jump on the OnlyFans bandwagon because if it

hadn't been her, it would have been someone else. If you were to try to make

sense of your feed, the ones where you get a lot of likes are the ones that are

very sexualized. How do you feel about that? I like sexy. I love skin. I love

seeing skin.

I like sexy.

I'd really call her a trailblazer in this space because she kind of said,

screw it, I'm going to follow my own lead, build my own base. And most of the

people that had crap to say about Bella Thorne when she joined the platform are

probably like, hey, she got first to market real quick.

Despite the criticism and backlash, Bella kicked down the door for other

celebrities to follow in her footsteps.

This is one celebrity side hustle we did not see coming.

OnlyFans is being overrun by stars.

How would you like to be Bad Baby's accountant?

Well, she says she made $52 million on OnlyFans. Crazy. Did you just know about

OnlyFans and you were like, this seems like a good way to make money? Yeah, it

was like a group decision. And then it just kept going and going and going. And

I was just like, I didn't care.

denise richards officially takes the plunge and is joining only fans i do

show my boobies yeah so you do topless so someone could make a couple hundred

thousand a year or more more you could do that possibly in a month or so what

do you honestly think of denise richards joining only fans cheers i think it's

fabulous

make more money than she did on the show the way that i see it is like you know

i'm not ashamed of my body i think you know if there's ever a time i'm gonna be

posting pictures of me in my underwear it's right now it might open up a door

for me where i get to do that for calvin klein i am the epitome of what every

single one of you men wish you could be with i've had one person

spend

$55,000 on me.

$55,000.

$55,000.

Wow. Wild.

So thank you.

All right.

Oh, what you got there?

You know, just I'm always ready. I love it. In the G.

In the G.

In the G. In the G. I just want to make sure.

This is a good one. Still pretty firm.

My name is Sean T.

I am most known for workouts like Insanity, Hip Hop Abs, T25,

and really just being a fitness motivator. The best of the best. Sean T.

Sean T. Sean T. The iconic Sean T.

Work it out. This is exactly what I do in the T25 Delta program.

I get you lit. I get you good.

Come on, y'all. Let's get it. Come on. Let's go.

During the pandemic, my husband Scott and I were bored and we just needed an

outlet. I want Maker's Mark. It's behind you. Maker's?

Yes, it is.

So we just decided to do OnlyFans. It's really awesome to have some of my fans

who love my workouts to subscribe to OnlyFans. I like my drink extra sweet.

How's your day been, sir? My day's great.

Shake with your mama, baby.

Shake with your mama, baby.

So... How was your Friday?

Well, no.

We didn't do it to do pornography.

Like, we're not adult film stars yet. No, I'm kidding. You know, we just like

to have a good time.

And it's actually really, really, really, really fun.

That's good. That's good.

I think it was a big thing for OnlyFans to get these mainstream celebrities to

join. Like when Cardi B joined, I think it kind of destigmatized it for other

people. It's your girl Cardi B. So I'm doing this video so I can let you guys

know that now you can subscribe to my OnlyFans.

OnlyFans is not a platform that's just for porn.

You could have your education channel, your cooking channel, your aerobic

sports. There's so many things you can do on OnlyFans that has absolutely

nothing to do with nudity or pornography or sex at all.

What up, man? It's Swae Lee. Shout out to all my fans on OnlyFans.

I got new content coming just for y'all exclusively.

It's game time.

This is OnlyFans right here.

I'm gonna give them the business. Showtime, baby.

Subscribe now.

I'm so happy that OF is...

evolving, and that people are starting to understand that you can be a makeup

artist and be on OF, you can give your glam tutorials on OF, you can give your

hair tutorials on OF.

I'm into OnlyFans. I like it. I mean, OnlyFans has given more money to women

than most Hollywood studios.

Comics are getting kind of frustrated right now with the censorship thing,

with YouTube and Instagram getting demonetized or getting deplatformed,

saying that our jokes are hate speech and really just trying to make people

laugh. So if it's good enough for Cardi B, it's good enough for me.

Hi, my name is Amy Bolden. I'm a professional golfer, and this is my

OnlyFans. What I really want to encourage everybody to understand is

it's not just a place for sexual behavior. That exists, but...

So do people that are training for boxing matches.

So do people that are athletes or triathlons. It's like TED Talks with,

you know, finer people that maybe will leave you with a hard-on.

For some celebrities, this isn't just a quick side hustle. It's a full-time job.

Out of the blue corner, 12-gauge Paige Van Zandt!

When this woman gets in this octagon, she is extremely tough.

Paige Van Zandt! How good was that?

My name is Paige Van Zandt. I'm a former UFC fighter, former Dancing with the

Stars alum.

and now I'm an OnlyFans model.

When I first made the transition to

exclusive content, it completely changed my life.

My first UFC contract, I was making $6,000 to show, $6,000 to win, and that

went up by $2,000 each fight. And a power takedown there by Van Zandt, has

Curran in a bad spot here.

Paige Van Zandt with the stoppage win in her UFC debut.

I only fight once every six months, you know, and then beyond that, you have to

factor in what you pay your gym. So most gyms take 10%, 20%, but you have to pay

taxes.

Then if I fight in Canada, I have to pay Canada tax and I have to pay United

States tax.

And then you have to pay for your coaches and corners to travel. You have

to pay for private lessons. You have to pay for medicals. The pre-fight

medicals, those all come out of pocket for us as athletes. So you're really not

walking away with very much money.

We decided to strategically launch my exclusive content site the day before I

fought. So it was a way to promote it and have a lot of publicity around me

launching exclusive content.

And we were on our way home from the press conference. I'm just looking at my

phone and my subscription price at the time was $19.99.

And I just kept watching the number go up of how many people were subscribing.

And by the time I got back to Cutway, I had 50,000 people subscribing.

You can do the math on that one.

Yeah, it was that moment where I was like, oh, yeah, this is for real.

For me, it was just to have financial independence from needing to rely on

working for somebody else.

I knew I was already sexualized in the UFC.

Might as well make money for it and might as well be making a ton of money

instead of, you know, getting punched in the face constantly.

And I'm in a moment in my life where I can completely support myself, my

family, my husband.

Coming from humble beginnings growing up in you know, a very, very small town in

Oregon in a trailer.

I never saw this for myself.

You know, I went through phases in life where it was like, all right, we had to

budget or put things back at the checkout counter at Walmart. And now I

just, I don't want my family to ever feel like that ever again.

I am very frugal.

But I have a few guilty pleasures if you want to follow me. This way you're going

to find the first of them.

My shoe collection.

Big time sneaker head. My husband got me into it. So now I'm obsessed with my

shoes.

My wife also enjoys purses like most women.

I will say I definitely save money everywhere that I can.

My purses I splurge on. I've become a Louis Vuitton addict and I'm not happy

about it because they're expensive.

I would say the purses are over the top and I think they're over the top. So I

get really, I buy them and I regret it for weeks because I could have spent

that money on something else.

But I save money everywhere. I do try to treat myself every now and then and this

is the one thing I treat myself.

That beautiful takedown by Paige.

So scrappy. She's like constantly aggressive and being the only woman in

an all-male team, I mean, she is sparring on a regular basis with people

much stronger than her and people who are pushing her to the limit. There is a

big part of me who has taken a step back from training and for fights and stuff.

I went to the gym the other day and I was sparring and vomiting.

I was just exhausted. I had sparred, you know, six really hard rounds and the gym

owner comes over. He's like, yeah, you really picked a hell of a part-time job.

And I was like, oh yeah, you know, fighting, I have to understand now is,

it's just a hobby. It's my part-time job. And now I have to realize that, you

know, OnlyFans, this is what's providing everything for me.

It's worth it and a lot of people see like me selling my body on the internet.

It's so shameful but there's a lot of things that I would do to provide and

support for my family like I would kill for my family. This is much less than

that. Celebrities are enjoying a much needed boost to their bank accounts

thanks to OnlyFans and in some cases it's actually a lifeline.

My name is Dan Benson. I was a weird kid who grew up in the Midwest who heard an

ad on the radio to become an actor, to become famous, and I was like, yes, I'm

going to do that.

So we went out to Los Angeles, and for the next 15 years, I stopped going to

school and really devoted my entire life to acting.

I had some success, but really I was grinding away at small bit parts for the

better part of 12 years until I landed a role on a small new Disney show called

Wizards of Waverly Place.

Everything is not what it seems. I need to be a giver, which is why I made

you breakfast!

from food that I took from you. Dang it! Oh!

To go from tiny bit roles in commercials to a recurring character on a Disney

show, it's weird to put into words how incredible of an experience that was.

Hey, what's taking so long? The sooner we leave, the sooner we can come back

here and hang out!

When I started to get fans and when I started to get recognized in public and

when I went to Disneyland and people in line would shout out, Like, hey, Zeke, I

loved you in Wizards, and do the Zeke dance.

I loved that. I became addicted to getting that recognition.

So, Dan, it's filming the last episode of Wizards. What has it been for you to

be part of this cast?

It's meant everything to me.

This cast is a lot like a family now.

When Wizards of Waverly Place ended, it was challenging.

I'm moving on to trying to go up through the groundlings and get to Saturday

Night Live and do feature films and do some more serious roles.

You know, Zeke is a really crazy, quirky character that gets to have fun, but I'd

like to try some characters that are smaller.

The transition period for me, I thought was going to be, boom, I'm on a Disney

Channel show. It's one of the biggest hit Disney Channel shows out there.

and I just make a horizontal leap to the next project.

It's kind of scary to move on, but I'm excited for the future. Hopefully I can

keep the momentum moving on to bigger and better things.

And I think I definitely went into this void of not being able to land

work. I auditioned hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times.

I had to continually look for just opportunities to stay afloat, which was

hard. No one teaches you

how to take any sort of fame you get and how to monetize it. I basically did

nothing for the next several years.

I kept having this dream like it's not over unless you give up, right?

It's kind of what I kept telling myself for years over and over and over again.

And all the while, I couldn't afford rent.

But there was a breaking point.

have an older dog. His name is Lynn. He's a Black Lab Weinreimer mix.

I got you.

What are you going to do?

He is the single greatest thing to have ever happened to me. And he needed

medicated dog food. And I got to the point where I couldn't afford it.

And I broke down because I was working so hard, working multiple jobs.

And so when...

I could not afford medicated dog food. I decided I need to do something drastic.

We're going to be doing some cleaning as Catboy, but it's going to be a little

more... A little bit more naked.

A little more naked. That's a good way to put it. I knew that I had an

interesting position where I had an audience built in because

I basically had nudes leak online and I knew that gay

men... were seeking out that content. Now, plenty of young,

dumb, male celebrities have been caught up in having their nudes leak online,

okay? I'm not the first one that it's happened to. But what really, really

pissed me off was the fact that there was websites out there that were selling

my nudes and making money off it.

And I was sitting here and I can't afford medicated dog food for my dog.

And yet there's people out there selling this content without my permission.

And I tried everything. I tried to take them all down. I tried to attack each of

these websites one by one. But every time I would do that and have one taken

down, four more would pop up. And I quickly realized it was impossible.

And I just got tired of fighting it. I was like, you know what?

Why? Why am I fighting this?

Things are a bit dusty here. I think Capoway might need to do some cleaning.

Well, we definitely get some selfies and stuff first.

One, two, three.

Just meow.

Meow.

Meow.

Meow, meow.

What if I take away the power of these people who are selling stuff without my

permission? And what if I sell better content, more of it?

to those people directly and I monetize it and I take advantage of that

opportunity for myself.

When I launched my OnlyFans, I had 14,000 followers on Instagram at the

time and I generated probably $800 a week. And I was like, hey,

$800 a week.

For me, that was a big deal. And honestly, that was like worth it to me.

That was life-changing money for me. But then something magical happened.

A TikToker found out that I had an OnlyFans.

His name is Cannon Ryder.

And when he found out I did OnlyFans, it blew up and it became viral.

$20?

Is it worth it?

And I immediately got 100,000 followers on Twitter that day.

And my OnlyFans went from generating $800 a week to

thousands and thousands and thousands.

And that week I made more than $20,000.

Like a cat. What am I doing? I gotta do cat poses.

It's really refreshing to be the one who actually benefits financially from all

the work I do as opposed to... when i worked on a disney channel show and this

was a billion dollar franchise and i got a check for

73 every two months in residuals oh

is

that that real good but you know what Lynn, he's doing great. And I'm just

really thankful that I have the ability to provide for him now and take care of

him. And, you know, I'm not, I don't know how much longer I'm going to have

him. So every single day I have with him is just like a joy, you know, and I

don't take it for granted every single day that we get to spend together is

just like, it's great.

There's all sorts of creatives. I happen to take my clothes off and get naked and

work out and jerk off. Okay, that's my job. That's not for everybody.

And I totally know that. But man, sex does sell.

Being successful on OnlyFans is for sure a full-time job.

It's just like any other line of entrepreneur.

You got to go out there, you got to make your content, record it, post it. It's

entrepreneurship 110%. I think a lot of people get the idea that, you know, you

show your toes once and you're a millionaire and that's not how it works.

My life has changed drastically before OnlyFans.

I was living in an apartment with two other roommates and now I own nine

homes. Celebrities who pivoted to OnlyFans learned very quickly.

It's not just a social media platform.

It's truly a living, breathing business.

We have over 2 million creators and we say that's over 2 million small

businesses on OnlyFans.

Producing content is a full-time job.

If you're paying to be a part of my platform, I want you to know that you're

going to get content every single day.

I have six people on my team that can manage my schedule, coordinate, travel

for me. There's not a whole lot that I have to really think about in life.

I just do my OnlyFans and let everybody else take care of everything I need to

get done.

I think that some of the misconceptions in terms of good strategy for running an

OnlyFans account is that you need really high production quality.

In fact, we've seen that the lower production quality is more successful.

Sincerely, what works the most for me is when I am just me.

No makeup, very little artistic direction.

literally going on a hike or in my kitchen or in my bed talking about

whatever. Nowadays in society is like we're so used to filters and like being

perfect that like if you are willing to be real on OnlyFans you'll get rewarded

for it handsomely.

Self-shot iPhone content also is important because there's nobody else in

the room. The celebrity really wants to make their end user feel like it's just

the two of them. I did that with my phone and the bathroom light.

Oh, that's right. That's into the shower door.

Yes. Skills.

So creative. That's in the spot.

I'm going to get kicked out of everywhere I go.

I would say 99.9% of my content is from my iPhone. The majority of it is...

in the moment. You know what? It's just too much.

So that's what I really love about it. We rarely set up a tripod.

If Scott is in the kitchen and he's in his underwear, I'm filming it.

What would you do if you had me all to yourself?

Working on OnlyFans every single day, it's a machine.

I'd say I put in four to six hours a day.

That's content planning, content shooting, messaging.

People don't log on to OnlyFans because they want to jerk off to this really

heavily produced porn video.

If they want that, they can go to PornHub or any of the other millions of

free porn websites out there. It's about creating an emotional connection with

the people who are seeking out your content.

Celebrities are opening up to their fans like never before.

But sometimes that online intimacy may blur the line.

I was offered, I think it was 110K,

to show up to an address. It was a parking lot.

And he said he wanted me to drive to the parking lot.

He would stay in his car, the doors would be locked, and he wanted me to

bang on the windows and scream at him for five minutes, telling him how small

his penis is and how embarrassing it is that he's such a small dick man.

And how could I ever even want to be alive with such a small, embarrassing,

little, tiny cock like yours?

I don't even understand why that would make a man get off, but...

Would you take $110K to tell a man that his dick isn't shit?

It's kind of like one of the best stories ever.

No, because I'm me.

And also, I don't want to shame any men with little dicks. Let's show them some

love. I love you. If nobody's showing you love, come to my OnlyFans.

I'm here for you.

We're in Los Angeles, California.

We're in the Creators, Inc. headquarters.

We are the global leader in OnlyFans monetization and celebrity paywall

management. Creators, Inc. represents, I'd say, about 60% of the 0.01%. We are

thrilled to manage probably 90% of all the A-list content creators, celebrities

that you've ever heard of on OnlyFans.

OnlyFans is great for customers because you definitely get to connect with me on

a personal level.

Hi, baby. I'm out here with my friend, Shayna.

Hi, guys.

And I feel like it's just like a more intimate way of getting to know each

other.

If you DM someone on OnlyFans, you know that they are going to reply because

that's what it's for.

When celebrities create OnlyFans, it really allows these fans to feel like

they're finally having that one-on-one presence and interaction with someone

that they might have held on a pedestal for years.

Hey, what's up? I just wanted to send you a message back to say thank you so

much for your sweet message.

That's really awesome that you used to watch me and I'm really glad that you

found my page now. That's super awesome.

I spend a good majority of the time when I'm working on my OnlyFans.

in the messages section.

Usually in a day, I will receive 50 to 100 messages because if I'm really

active messaging with people, I'm going to get responses.

So that's the other aspect. I could sit here and message all day and it would

never end. As much as you can handle communicating and talking to people and

flirting with people, it's a lot.

The messaging component on OnlyFans is critical.

Aw, thank you so much.

I got my cute little pink skirt on and a crop top.

What leads people to be super successful through messaging is context, is

building psychodramatic stories.

OnlyFans is filling an emotional and even maybe a boredom void for most

people. So being able to fill that void gets people to stick and stay and click

and buy. That is the critical component of being successful on OnlyFans. Is this

like... promo stuff or is this for people to jerk off to uh all the above

even just like getting a response in a message as simple as hey how was your

day like oh my god it was so wonderful thank you so much and like oh that was

such a hot video you posted and like oh thank you did you like that one i

specifically did it like this sometimes just that connection makes the sexual

exploration that you're doing like infinitely more enjoyable.

I get lots of requests for collabs, people who want to collab, which I

totally understand.

People who want custom work done, they want like a specific video request.

But mostly people just want to chit chat and say hi.

You have to put a lot of energy, a lot of time. It's 24 hours a day. It's me

waking up, communicating and socializing with people because ultimately they're

paying for my time.

I had a request from my OnlyFans. Somebody wrote to me on OnlyFans and

they offered me $50,000 to cut my hair into a

bob. The caveat was I had to mail him all my hair.

Yeah, that's where it got weird for me.

When it comes to fans in the OnlyFans space,

It's a delicate topic.

So most commonly management teams are posting for the creator and messaging

fans. Of course, there's always going to be a subset of fans that do genuinely

believe they're messaging with the celebrity.

One of the interesting things about OnlyFans is that it can really amplify

the experience of parasocial relationships.

Already celebrities are in such a spotlight and people develop affection

for them and really believe that they have some kind of connection because

they see them on the screen.

I think it can, for some folks, create the illusion that there's more intimacy

there than there really is.

Hey, sexy.

Oh, well, hello, sexy, there to you.

My hope is that OnlyFans can continue to be a safe place for sexual exploration,

for intimacy, for friendship, for safety, for trust.

All right, guys, we are going to do a little fun workout live today.

Is anybody doing them with me right now? So I think at the end of the day, we as

creators have a responsibility to provide safe spaces for our subscribers

and fans and followers.

We can have an element of sex and flirtatious and intimacy without it ever

crossing that line towards being misleading.

Regardless of their kinks, their fetishes, their desire to explore, and

that is on the creators to provide.

Ready and action.

Hollywood right now is a very scary place.

Months of strikes earlier this year by writers and actors paralyzed

productions.

California estimates the state lost around $5 billion due to the strikes. It

resulted in the loss of about 45,000 jobs.

Hollywood is not a safe place to consistently make money. I think the

strike was horribly difficult.

The writers, the producers, the directors, the actors. I think that

there's a little PTSD going on there.

Theater box office receipts are still below what they were before the fear of

COVID emptied theaters.

Regal cinemas will close movie theaters around the country and film fans find

new ways to see movies. The movie industry looks for different ways to

attract audiences.

Actors are extremely concerned about AI taking over. They're concerned they're

going to lose their jobs. And I think they probably will.

Hollywood actors could soon be joining writers on the picket lines.

One of the big issues revolves around artificial intelligence and how it can

create performances that don't exist.

Hollywood is really set up to where a small percentage of people have a lot of

power and a lot of money, and then everyone else is just struggling.

I think the public would be very surprised on how little money

celebrities actually have, especially if they live in California.

You've got state and federal taxes. You've got your team. You've got your

agency. We hold celebrities on pedestals, and we think that everybody's

rich and famous, and that just really isn't the case. So yeah, you hear about

Brad Pitt and Tom Hanks getting massive deals because back in the day, those

guys could draw ticket sales.

If you can't do that, which is 99.9% of the actors and actresses in Hollywood,

OnlyFans is a massive manna in the desert for them because it gives them

the ability to earn.

There used to be several different revenue streams for a working actor to

coddle together to actually make a living. And you needed all of them to be

able to do that.

Well, those have been whisked away.

When you go to a red carpet event, you have to get sponsored to wear a suit.

You've got to buy shoes. You've got to get the car there.

You oftentimes have to fly somewhere.

Being a celebrity is very expensive.

It's very expensive to be famous because there's a tremendous amount of people

you have to hire to keep looking as good as you do.

Hair care, skin care, fitness, eating correctly.

Then you have to factor in Paying a manager, paying your taxes, I have to

have my own CPA, a business manager, a financial advisor.

Then you also are paying for a publicist, and you're also paying a

percentage to your attorney, your agent, your manager.

Big bills come with what we do. We don't do this alone.

The fact that we're up is a whole entire team behind us.

They have to get paid. So when you hear someone saying, oh, such and such made

$10 million, no, that didn't make it to their account. Know that off the top,

Uncle Sam is getting 50%. Okay? So do the math.

Now we have $5 million.

Your team is getting 30% off of what you grossed, not after what Uncle Sam took.

Now do the math.

That's very scary to come into a profession that doesn't really pay

people well enough to afford to do it.

I'm a single mom.

I always just took jobs to get by. I literally found myself on a show called

The Sopranos when I was super young.

Oh yeah, like Tony Soprano's hiding in my backseat.

You are so paranoid.

And after that, I really never cared if I did anything again.

I could go on for hours about why I'm so proud of the Sopranos and having been a

part of that. I did okay. I got by, but it was never my MO to take it to the

moon. I worked job to job, and I only would go for a job when I really needed

the money because I wanted to be with my children.

Don't I look incredible for the mother of an adult son?

It's a good thing about having a kid so young.

You rarely hear the argument for a teen pregnancy.

Yeah, there'd be moments where there'd be a pinch, you know, but for the most

part, I always worked on the biggest TV shows, and I never felt like I was going

to have a problem when times got tough.

The breaking news, stay at home. That is the order tonight as the coronavirus

pandemic spreads.

We've been sitting here this morning watching everything.

Literally almost every minute, something gets shut down. Literally every minute.

The mayor of New York City today announced one of the nation's toughest

COVID vaccination mandates in the country.

And my agent's saying, are you going to get vaccinated?

And I was like, I don't know yet.

I mean, I'm kind of one of these weirdos who doesn't even take Tylenol, so

probably not.

Reports say Tyler Perry is going to mandate vaccinations for cast and crew

at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta.

Ice Cube has reportedly dropped out of a new movie after being asked to get a

vaccine for COVID-19.

Lights, camera, COVID. It's what every Hollywood producer has to take into

consideration anytime they start up a production.

I mean, if you don't get vaccinated, it means you're noncompliant and it means

you're unruly.

My agent shortly after that dropped me without a phone call, without a text

message, without an email, nothing.

Just told my manager, we can't, you know, what are we going to do here?

There's nothing we can do for her. And I'm just like, okay.

I was like, so this industry really fucking sucks.

No one gives a shit about anybody.

Then the strike happens.

Can't work again.

A few actors were like, so how's the strike treating you? I'm like, the fuck

do I care? They won't have me anyway.

I found myself in a total world of shit.

My house was going into foreclosure.

And my house flooded.

And I couldn't sell the house.

So much shit was happening at once. I really don't know a lot about OnlyFans,

to be honest with you. My kids' friends, the teenagers, were like, Dre.

Just do OnlyFans, because they all knew we were about to lose our house. So the

kids are saying, just do your feet on OnlyFans, Dre.

My son is like, you know, I'm going to make money, mama. I'm going to. And I'm

like, you're fucking 12.

You know, mommy needs to figure this out. I got to do things my way.

And no one's going to fucking take care of me. Not this government, not this

industry. It's fucking me.

So the very final hours of owing the real estate company, I put up one

picture. of myself on OnlyFans.

And I did it, and I put the picture up, and it went fucking psycho.

I was really caught off guard.

I did not understand what the fuck was happening.

I literally sat there with my boyfriend looking at the numbers as it's in real

time. We're like, another person just subscribed, another person just

subscribed, another person. So we were literally counting watching the app like

this.

It was crazy.

And we were able to pay back the real estate company.

Does anybody have any questions out there?

Who's jerking off?

I need to know.

I was desperate. I'm not going to lie.

I'm not going to try and pretend like, oh my God, I'm doing this because this

is liberating. It is. That came with it. But did I do it out of desperation?

Fuck yes, I did.

Are we live?

Yeah.

Okay, so we're live streaming right now.

This is what all the girls do. They talk to their fans. They stay engaged with

fans by live streaming. She can read what some of the guys are saying.

Let's find something filthy that somebody has said. Did I think it would

empower me just to be on OnlyFans? Like, no, that wasn't the fucking point. You

know, it empowered me to take care of my family.

You know. Oh, I got a tip.

I got a tip, motherfuckers. Joe sent you $50.

Did you want to see my ass?

But.

Now, I have a photographer who I use all the time, who's like this insane playboy

photographer. Her name is Ashley Kurzfeld.

She has brought out parts of me that I forgot about, and that's because of

OnlyFans. Playing and having fun, yes.

Like, I had been so down over the last three years over what was happening. And

I'm a woman in my early 50s, like, aging, too, and what that means in

Hollywood and what it means just to yourself.

And with Ashley taking my fucking pictures to see what she sees.

Yeah, I love that.

Oh, that's perfect, babe.

Holy shit, man.

I do feel empowered. All right, guys, we are done going live here. I have to go

into my ultra free work studio. And if we have a connection, we're going to

bring you back.

When I joined OnlyFans and I started getting some press, my manager was like

sending me the press.

And I'm like, well, you know that I've been down and out. I'm supposed to call

the press myself?

And he's like, yeah, we didn't get this for you.

And I was like, you've been my manager for 20 years.

You know that I'm in a situation right now. I was really taken by that. I'm

still not over that.

That's Hollywood for you. Nah, we're not taking a cut of this, so we're not

helping you. And I'm like, why would you take a cut of a picture I took of myself

in my closet?

Like, explain that to me.

So, yes.

advocate for yourself.

Fuck everybody at this point.

That's how I fucking feel.

Welcome to the ultra-free t-shirt studio.

This is what OnlyFans funded. Not only did it save my house, but it also

created a new business for me and Mr. Robbie Stabler over here, of all them

witches.

Today... Every actor I know has to have another job. You have to have multiple

streams of income. You have to have secondary streams of income. You have to

find other ways to make money because acting, it's a very hard profession to

make a living in it. And only 1% ever rises to the level where they make a

living in this business. What would you say is most actors make what? I can tell

you that 86% of our members cannot meet the 26

.5%.

thousand-dollar-a-year threshold to get their medical benefits.

In the real world, that's a part-time job.

I don't believe there's a middle class in Hollywood at all at this point. I

would say corporate greed is tremendously responsible for getting rid

of that middle class. There's no reason corporations should be paying actors a

fraction of what they used to pay. That's only greed.

I think that's disrespectful and abusive for artists.

And I don't think they're gonna change that at all.

Everything's gone up but our wages.

And so it's like, we're all not Tom Cruise.

So listen, if people want to get naked on OnlyFans, they should go ahead and do

that. I think if that's an opportunity for them to make money and they want to

employ that opportunity, they have the right to do that if they feel

comfortable doing that. I tell actors and other creatives all the time, take

charge of your career.

Don't wait for other people to give you opportunities. If they're waiting for

corporations to respect their time and energy and give them the money that they

deserve, they're going to be waiting forever.

Selena Gomez confirming she and her onscreen brother, David Henry, will

reprise their roles as Alex and Justin Russo in a Wizards of Waverly Place

sequel. I was full

of mixed emotions when I heard the news. The first part of me was super excited

about the potential of Wizards of Waverly Place coming back. The other

side of me is like...

Are you fucking serious?

Now?

Now? After all these years? After me just milking every tiny

ounce of life that I can out of my participation in Wizards of Waverly

Place and just scraping by with just barely being able to make a living off

the fact that I did that show and I've just felt...

So hollow inside knowing that like oh well I've already shut the door on ever

being able to reprise my character of Zeke Because of the choices I made

now having said that I Knew what I was doing. You are so hot. I'd love to

worship your sexy feet. Oh You like my sexy feet, huh?

What if I dipped it in a bowl of chocolate pudding.

I knew that by launching an OnlyFans career that I was closing the door

potentially on a lot of opportunities that could show up randomly like this

one. Yes.

Here. Okay. I know.

That one's actually cute. That one's actually cute. I like that one. So do I

think that there's an opportunity that Wizards of Waverly Place brings back my

character in the new show?

No. I think that...

That is absolutely dead on arrival.

I vividly just, like, hope that in a production meeting somewhere, one of the

producers didn't know, you know? And they're like, well, what about Zeke? Can

we bring back Zeke, that character? And the other producers look at him like,

oh, they don't know yet. Oh, God.

You haven't seen?

Oh, well, go look.

Dan's penis is all over the internet, so he can't do that now.

On OnlyFans, you potentially create...

Problems in being able to work in other areas of entertainment.

But I think we need to stop the stigmas and open all of it up.

It's entertainment, baby.

It's all the same. We're doing the same thing everywhere.

If you think these TV shows don't hire me for the one moment that we all take

off our tops and jump in the pool when we had too much tequila that they fed

us, don't get it twisted.

Oh, you got me.

Good nerd burn.

So, you know, I feel sad to know that I definitely won't be a part of it. But at

the same time, I'm like, I don't need it anymore.

And God, it's just, it feels good to be in that position.

Hollywood is now well aware the potential for celebrities on OnlyFans

goes far beyond just getting naked on the internet.

The possibilities to make money and market yourself are endless.

I think that the biggest names in the world will move to the OnlyFans

platform. I also think that if these celebrities don't evolve, they will die

and they will get replaced by average people who are actually making great

content on their iPhones.

J.Lo is beautiful.

She knows how to walk in a room like LeBron and dominate on her court with a

huge team around her. But I don't know that J.Lo knows how to make that average

Tom, Dick, and Harry at home know how to spend as much as the upcoming 19, 20

-year-old who's been on TikTok, who's already been doing TikTok Lives and

interacting with their audiences.

It is all that up-and-coming talent who doesn't have old Hollywood programmed

into their brain that's going to massively outperform everyone else.

I do believe that society is getting more comfortable with women being sexual

and showing their skin and being confident.

So I'm happy that the stigma is changing.

Everybody who's given a testament to OnlyFans being empowering is absolutely

right. The world seeing that it's okay to do things that maybe aren't what like

the older generation deems acceptable.

We can kind of change the narrative. We can be the pioneers of the next

generation. We can set the course for what's socially acceptable, what's

morally acceptable, what's a good way to make money, a bad way to make money.

Because at the end of the day, I think a lot of young people are struggling.

We're struggling to like buy homes, feel successful in our careers, feel

creative, feel inspired in what we do.

When I look back at, you know, some of the iconic people in history, especially

women. that I would love to be like. It's, you know, Dolly Parton making

absolute waves, standing out. Pamela Anderson and Marilyn Monroe. And of

course, what they were doing for their time, it was a negative stigma. But now

when we look back at their lives, they are iconic and they were doing something

special. And do I know that people will ever think of me as special or iconic?

I have no idea.

But... looking at what they fought through to be who they are today or, you

know, what they had to fight through in their lifetime.

I'm like, you know what, I can keep going. And I just know that when I'm

ready to be done on OnlyFans, if that day comes, I will be so happy that I was

able to build for myself and my family.

With this new OnlyFans success, do I want to go back to acting?

Of course. Of course there's aspects.

that I would love to dive into that's more than just jerking off in front of

my cell phone every single day.

But at the same time, there's a piece of me that wants nothing to do with the

entertainment industry as it is.

And I think there's a bitter taste in my mouth from my time being an actor. Look,

I look back fondly on my time working on Wizards of Waverly Place.

It's one of the greatest times.

of my life, being able to work on that show. But it's hard to not feel like I

was taken advantage of.

Oh, can you use magic to make me blow bubbles out of my... These platforms

like OnlyFans and Patreon have created an opportunity for fans to

donate and contribute and support the content creators that they like

directly. It gives them an opportunity to...

still be able to make money from creating content that's important,

that's valuable, that's worth their time and energy and investment, and have them

be able to make a living from creative works.

So we're gonna wear the custom-tailored blue suit, shoot some photos, maybe we

get naked. I don't know.

I will. I will get naked. That's what's gonna happen.

OnlyFans is probably one of the most incredible platforms I've been on in my

lifetime because I'm not working for anyone but myself.

I can decide my hours.

There's no one demanding anything of you. There's no schedule.

You can be anywhere in the world and create whatever you want to create.

And it really gave me the financial freedom to be able to

Not have to ever allow a manager or an agent or any other gatekeeper

in the entertainment industry tell me who to be or what to be in order to be

valuable, sellable, marketable, or get the job. I literally can just be

me. I could never say that before OnlyFans.

In a rapidly evolving Hollywood landscape that's seemingly growing

bleaker by the day for many celebs, OnlyFans has become a necessity to the

survival of Hollywood.

If it were up to me, the future of Hollywood would 100% be where the talent

is handling their own fucking content at this point. I will never stop doing the

OnlyFans thing now.

Even if I have enough money to stop, I'm going to keep doing it because I don't

like Instagram.

I don't like Facebook.

I don't like any of those fucking social media platforms.

And this is my social media platform now. So everybody else can go fuck

themselves.
