What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad with Clevver News, and after we reported that Bella
Thorne earned a million dollar paycheck from OnlyFans in just 24 hours, fans are now furious
after claiming Bella has scammed users into thinking they were paying large amounts for
fully nude photos.
Not only did Bella Thorne rake in a whopping $1 million in the first 24 hours on the paid
subscription service Only Fans, but in less than a week, many outlets reported that she
tacked on another million to her paycheck - making a cool $2M in a week!
Not only that, but according to a rep from the site, after causing it to crash upon being
an active creator, Bella has become the first content creator on the platform to earn that
much money in 24 hours with her rate being $20 a month for subscribers.
Many other celebrities and influencers have jumped on the OnlyFans bandwagon, including
Cardi B, Tana Mongeau and Blac Chyna, to name a few.
Cardi recently explained to fans that she would NOT be sharing any nude content under
any circumstances, and Bella followed suit by Bella tweeting to fans that she would not
be doing nudity on the site either!
However, she seemingly appeared to have quickly changed her mind as many were surprised to
find that Bella had reportedly been charging users $200 pay-per-view messages in exchange
for fully nude photo sets.
Except… what fans received wasn’t at all what Bella had promised.
The anger and frustration was felt on social media when users shared screenshots of Bella’s
promise that the locked photos were, in fact, completely naked.
One user posted a screenshot of an explanation of the situation that read QUOTE, “So basically
she scammed her subscribers and sent out a $200 PPV (a message you have to pay to view)
claiming it was a fully nude photo set.
It was not.
So many people requested refunds that now OnlyFans won’t allow us to charge over $50
PPV OR get tipped over $100.”
The message went on to explain the new rules of OnlyFans, saying, “And this morning we
were all told that instead of waiting 7 days for our payouts, we have to wait 30.”
One theory going around following the sudden change in payouts, is that, as the user explained,
“OnlyFans can’t afford to pay her her cut so now our funds are being tied up.
It’s BS.
She single-handedly f***ed so many sex workers.”
Aside from the fact that Bella scammed users, the real reason many are infuriated is because
she also made it much more difficult for content creators who use this site as their main form
of income to collect their pay.
This is already a tough blow for sex workers as they also have to put in many behind-the-scenes
hours while serving as their own “photographers, marketers, social media managers, accountants,
and technical support workers,” as explained in a recent Rolling Stone article.
The same user who posted the screenshot wrote on Twitter QUOTE, “it infuriates me how
bella thorne has a net worth of $12m and decided to make an OnlyFans for fun, scam her subscribers,
and reduce and delay pay for people who need their OnlyFans as a source of income.”
Another user wrote, “Girl imagine being known as the a**hole who ruined onlyfans for
sex workers because you don't have a single movie iconic enough to be a different identifier.
Bella Thorne needs to pick a struggle expeditiously.”
And this person said, “I’m all about celebs starting an Onlyfans, but what I’m not about
is them treating it like some fun science experiment, with the audacity to claim they’re
just trying to get the full experience.”
Bella has been known to preach about feminism and openly speak about sex, to which many
others are claiming that she can no longer preach about feminism when she messed with
so many females’ paychecks.
Neither Bella nor her team have responded to the allegations, but there may be some
truth to the fact that she’s using this as an experiment for an upcoming role.
Thursday, Bella retweeted LA Times writer Amy Kaufman’s tweet that revealed Bella
actually IS making a movie about OnlyFans with Sean Baker.
The movie will dive into the many questions fans are most curious about, like , “What
does a platform like this do to its users?
What’s the connective material between your life and your life inside the world of OnlyFans?
... How far are you willing to go, and how far do you WANT to go?”
Although there are no further details released about the film, OnlyFans users are eagerly
awaiting an explanation from Bella and desperately hoping the changes set in place will soon
be retracted.
