Pornographic passions, or How Bella Thorne made enemies on OnlyFans

If you have never heard of the American actress Bella Thorne before, then in recent days you have probably repeatedly stumbled upon a mention of her on the Internet. Her name thunders in The network is due to the fact that this sexy blonde managed to initiate the most grandiose scandal in the entire history of the OnlyFans adult service. Bella managed to easily "cut down" a huge amount of paid subscribers in a short time, which hit the business of other beauties from this platform hard. (Careful! Nude).

To understand the situation, you need to start from the beginning. The OnlyFans service was not created as a porn site at all. Its creators planned that it would become a platform where everyone would be able to upload content for which they want to receive money. But since there were no restrictions and strict moderation, it goes without saying that the resource was occupied by porn models.

Now OnlyFans hundreds of thousands of models from all over the world are considered as a place of work, and well paid. For the right to contemplate nude photos and videos, users are ready to sign up for a paid subscription, which becomes the basis of the girls' income.

There are other, less popular ways of earning money on the resource, for example, tips that subscribers can send to the author, and PPV (pay per view), that is, separately paid exclusive content. Now there are 750 thousand authors of photo and video materials on the site and more than 60 million users.

22-year-old Bella Thorne is a well-known actress in the USA, but she has not gained much popularity here. You could see her in the Disney series "Dance Fever", in one of the parts of "Amityville Horror", as well as in the horror film from Netflix "Nanny", the sequel of which "Nanny. The Queen of the Damned" is about to be released.

In parallel with her debut, the actress was engaged in promoting her image. She said in an interview that she is polyamorous and pansexual, and also told that in childhood, from 6 to 14 years old, she regularly faced sexual violence. In 2019, attackers hacked the actress' phone and stole her intimate photos. They tried to blackmail Thorne, but she posted the pictures online herself, leaving the criminals with nothing.

And at the end of August 2020, Bella Thorne joined OnlyFans models. The actress set the usual subscription price for the service at $ 20 and ... earned a million dollars on the first day. Over the next week, another million "dripped" into her account. This is not only the biggest earnings in the life of Thorn herself, but also an absolute record of the service in the entire history of its existence.

The whole absurdity of the situation is that there are no too explicit photos and videos in Bella Thorne's account. The fact that there will be no complete nudity, the girl immediately warned her fans on Twitter so that they would not be disappointed by paying for a subscription. Indeed, in all the pictures of Thorne on OnlyFans she is in swimsuits, and in one she is just eating a hot dog.

The "workers" of OnlyFans immediately turned on Bella, accusing her of unfair competition. Of course, they have to demonstrate the most intimate and stay up at night, inventing new content, and then some girl in a few days easily takes off the cream for 2 million.

Thorne's story that her appearance on the site is connected with the study of the lives of people in the sex business in the interests of upcoming filming angered opponents even more. The girl was also accused of hypocrisy — from her privileged position, she cannot learn anything about difficult and dangerous work, in which there is a place for stalking, deanonymization and even violence. Most of the girls who spoke out about this are sure that it was enough for Thorne to just interview them.

This caused another scandal, as the deceived users of the site, as many believe, made claims against both Thorn and the administration of the service. In fairness, it should be mentioned that this whole story is based on one screenshot from the correspondence between Bella and her subscriber, the authenticity of which is not confirmed by anything. But in this situation, when everyone has "boiled over", no one is interested in facts anymore.

After indignant letters were sent to OnlyFans, the administration of the service replied that the changes in the rules had nothing to do with Thorn and her activities on the site.

The statement also says that the new rules were developed on the service a long time ago, when no one had heard about Bella Thorne on OnlyFans yet. Yes, the timing of money withdrawal from the service system has also changed. If earlier it could be done in 7 days, now you need to wait as much as 30.

For the employees of the site, all these innovations are unprofitable. The price reduction, as well as the postponement of the withdrawal of money, in combination with taxes, seriously hit the income of models. There is another reason for indignation, which was reported by OnlyFans user, actress and musician Erica Heidewald:

This is the pornographic economy, or if you like, economic pornography. The "cherry on the cake" in this scandal turned out to be the statement of the very director Sean Baker, for whose film Thorne allegedly gets used to the role on OnlyFans. He said that he had not planned any film with Bella and only once discussed with the actress the distant prospects of cooperation. Nevertheless, Baker apologized for being unwittingly involved in this story.

The actress promised that she wants to meet with the OnlyFans team and talk about the new rules of the service and the possibility of their mitigation. But even here there were dissatisfied people who said that Thorn had no right to discuss anything on behalf of the site's models, since she was an upstart and had no idea what ordinary sex workers of the resource had to face.
