Sutton, 43, announced on Friday (17 April) that he has joined OnlyFans, a subscription site where internet users can pay for exclusive content from their favourite creators or celebrities, having recently said goodbye to the Channel 4 soap after two decades on the show. But while the website has become synonymous with sex workers and adult entertainers due to the site allowing sexual content, creators can upload non-sexual posts to the site too. Sutton has appeared in ‘Emmerdale’ and ‘Hollyoaks’ (Channel 4/YouTube) That’s the route being taken by Sutton, who is using the site to give fans a look at his day-to-day life since leaving Hollyoaks and launching his self-help platform …

Why ‘American Pie’ Star Shannon Elizabeth Joined OnlyFans

Why ‘American Pie’ Star Shannon Elizabeth Joined OnlyFans

Published by Daniella Wilson

Shannon Elizabeth is taking back control of her story. The actress, who became a prominent sex symbol of the 1990s and 2000s with her roles in American Pie and Scary Movie, among others, recently told People that she’s launching an OnlyFans account to reclaim control of her narrative after working in Hollywood. “I’ve spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career. This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a more sexy side no one has seen, and being closer to my fans,” Elizabeth said of her reasoning for joining the platform primarily known for adult content. She added, “I’m choosing OnlyFans because it allows me to connect directly with my audience, create on my own terms, and just be free. I really do think this is the future.” Though Elizabeth didn’t feel in control of her career when she was younger, she previously told Entertainment Tonight that she’s still grateful for all the doors that American Pie opened for her. However, starring …

X’s Big Bot Purge Wiped Out a Lot of People’s Secret Porn Feeds

X’s Big Bot Purge Wiped Out a Lot of People’s Secret Porn Feeds

Published by skeptic

Justin Diego doesn’t typically avoid the spotlight. He’s a celebrity news influencer with 617,000 combined followers across YouTube and Instagram. So when he created a secret account on X in 2024 to keep track of his favorite OnlyFans creators, he appreciated the anonymity it provided him outside of his main accounts. Diego primarily used the burner account to bookmark and like solo content and masturbation videos, and never posted. But when he logged in to X over the weekend, he was notified that the account had been suspended. Beginning this month, X has escalated its efforts to crack down on automated accounts. The company’s head of product, Nikita Bier, noted that the platform was flagging and suspending bots at a rapid pace—“208 bots per minute and growing,” he posted on April 9. But the large-scale campaign, which is intended to remove fake, inactive, or spam accounts in bulk, has also led to the suspension and deletion of accounts used by humans—including many used to privately curate niche porn. The company has a policy against “inauthentic …

Euphoria Creator Talks Sydney Sweeney’s Controversial Season 3 Scenes

Euphoria Creator Talks Sydney Sweeney’s Controversial Season 3 Scenes

Published by Sam Flores

Even if you’re not watching Euphoria, the chances are it won’t have passed you by that it recently returned for its third (and, quite probably, final) season after a four-year absence from our screens. In the new instalments, much has already been made in the media of the fact that several of the show’s central female characters have pivoted to different forms of sex work in the time since we last saw them, most notably Sydney Sweeney’s Cassie. Since the first episode of season three aired over the weekend, several outlets have been running pieces from viewers perturbed by scenes in episode one – and a teaser for the rest of the season – showing Cassie modelling for OnlyFans while posing in outfits intended to resemble a dog or a baby. An opinion piece was published by Metro on Monday evening with a headline claiming that “Sydney Sweeney’s baby scene in Euphoria crosses the line”, while The Cut pondered: “Did we really need pup play on Euphoria?” Other headlines quoted viewers who found the scenes …

Can OnlyFans Save Fashion? | Vanity Fair

Can OnlyFans Save Fashion? | Vanity Fair

Published by Sam Flores

Earlier this year, after the fall-winter 2026 collections in Paris, I wrote about sex. More specifically, about how luxury brands were offering it up on the runway, in some ways hearkening back to the licentious fashion of the late 1990s and aughts, and in some others recontextualizing it for the post-#MeToo, post-COVID-pandemic era of the 21st century. Haider Ackermann considered the art of street cruising at Tom Ford, which Anthony Vaccarello had explored a season prior at Saint Laurent. At Jean Paul Gaultier, Duran Lantink cut his skirts in such a way as to make it appear that their wearers were pitching a tent, if you catch my drift, and at Gucci, Demna outfitted Kate Moss with a thong and armed his very buff models with very tight shirts. It was a season in which so much of what we saw felt sexualized, yet it was not always sexy. This contradiction is representative of the way sex operates within culture at large. All over Instagram and TikTok are male “creators,” a nebulous evolution of the …

The OnlyFans inheritance: how its owner’s death could reshape the porn money-making machine | Pornography

Published by Sam Flores

Yekaterina Chudnovsky, online biographies say, is a mother-of-four who “enjoys spending time with her family and teaching them the importance of giving back and helping others”. They add that Ukrainian-born Chudnovsky, known as Katie, finds sanctuary in walks on the beach. In interviews, Chudnovsky has spoken warmly about her commitment to philanthropy, her dedication to supporting cancer research and her work as a lawyer for an unnamed global technology firm. Pornography is never mentioned. Now, it may become unavoidable. After the death of Chudnovsky’s husband, Leonid Radvinsky, from cancer last week at the age of 43, she is now understood to have a controlling interest through a family trust in the London-based adult content site, OnlyFans. Chudnovsky is set to have a crucial role in deciding what happens to the business that made her husband a billionaire before he turned 40. The family stake is valued at about $5.5bn (£4.1bn). Chudnovsky’s views on pornography will determine the site’s future business model, and whether it continues to generate huge sums of money by taking a 20% …

OnlyFans CEO Leo Radvinsky was the Mark Zuckerberg of Porn

OnlyFans CEO Leo Radvinsky was the Mark Zuckerberg of Porn

Published by Daniella Wilson

A brief statement from OnlyFans revealed on Monday that company owner Leonid “Leo” Radvinsky had “passed away peacefully after a long battle with cancer” three days earlier. The statement was typical of the low profile the 43-year-old Radvinsky had cultivated since his very beginnings as a serial entrepreneur in the “wild west” years of the online adult industry in the late 1990s. But although to mainstream reporters he could be an elusive and opaque figure — the Reuters obituary led with “secretive billionaire owner” — in the close-knit world of the adult business, many remembered him fondly and with reverence as one of their own. “Across his many ventures, Leo forever changed this industry in a positive way and put the power of production in the hands of the performers,” veteran industry stakeholder Dan Leal told The Hollywood Reporter. Others on industry-only forums like XBIZ.net memorialized Radvinsky as a soft-spoken, thoughtful presence who eschewed the flashier behavior of other founders and owners as he cannily grew his portfolio from questionable affiliate-marketing homemade sites all the way up …

Have you seen Louis Theroux’s new Netflix documentary, Inside the Manosphere? If you have, you’ll probably have some strong opinions about it. My colleague Adam White recently bemoaned the fact that Theroux inadvertently gave these toxic men an extra boost to their platforms simply by making the documentary, while a friend who’s a TV critic on BBC’s Must Watch reviewed the show and said she felt Theroux wasn’t asking the kind of direct, probing – and brave – questions he used to ask in his previous documentaries; that he gave them, effectively, an easy ride. Emma Flint pointed out the irony of people only taking the dangers of misogyny …

The 43-year-old businessman, who had been privately battling cancer, passed away earlier than the Monday announcement, according to Andy Bachman, CEO of Creators Inc., a company that works closely with OnlyFans adult content creators. “Insiders knew [Radvinsky] had been dealing with health issues for some time, and while his passing is tragic, he left behind a company that was fully prepared and resilient,” Bachman told theNew York Post. “His passing wasn’t sudden, so there was a lot of preparation. He passed a few days before the media found out, so there was no interruption to the business.” Before his death, Radvinsky shunned the public spotlight and purchased a $19 million, 6,000-square-foot oceanfront condo at Miami’s Turnberry Ocean …
