  • Australian OnlyFans Creator Banned from Store After Creepy Attention Grab

    Australian OnlyFans Creator Banned from Store After Creepy Attention Grab

    Consent is king is typically an OnlyFans standard operating procedure, and Cynthia Lin has certainly learned that the hard way. The viral star recently found herself banned from one of her favorite public filming locations as the direct result of forgetting that golden OnlyFans rule.

    Lin has been a fixture on OnlyFans, with her content getting quite a bit of attention. Recently, however, she’s taken to trawling through stores looking for single men to hit on, under the guise of looking for a “single tradie daddy.” That she was openly boyfriend shopping is… well. We don’t have enough time to lay out why that’s already not great to begin with. Let’s cut to the big issue.

    When Cynthia Lin has been strolling through stores on the hunt for single men, she not only uses sexually charged language when taking advantage of societal norms that get them to interact with her; she films the entire interaction to post it on her social media— and OnlyFans— channels.

    Generally speaking, when it comes to OnlyFans, we adopt a “you do you, boo” sort of attitude towards the content that is captured and shared by content creators. We all gotta make a living, and most content creators are very conscious of the work that they’re putting out into the world, explicit or no.

    However.

    When a content creator is filming someone in a public place without their consent, and then shares that footage online without their consent, that crosses a line; especially when that content is being used for the financial gain of the person doing the sharing.

    Did her fans enjoy the content that she was filming as she prowled through the aisles of Bunnings on the hunt for men to record? Yes. Many of them did. In some videos, viewers were leaving comments along the lines of “why did he say no? What an idiot!” when she would share another video of her sexually charged interactions with strangers in stores.

    Her critics though? They also had some choice words for Lin, and her lack of regard for obtaining consent before filming unknown men and sharing that content online.

    And her critics weren’t the only ones who had a problem. The star found herself being escorted out of Bunnings, and banned from entering any other Bunnings storefront due to complaints from the staff and other shoppers— who presumably weren’t there shopping for a girlfriend, alas.

    The end of the story is this: if you want to film content for your OnlyFans channel in public spaces, fine. Go forth and get that cash, friend. However, if you plan on featuring other people who happen to be in the same location in your content? It’s crucial that you ask their permission before filming, and make sure it’s explicitly understood which online channels you’ll be sharing the content to.

    Was Cynthia Lin’s concept a good one? Absolutely. But she crossed a line from being humorous to being invasive when she filmed others and shared that content without consent.

    We hope that Lin is able to come up with a new concept soon, one in which she can more consistently abide by OnlyFans’ golden rule: consent is king.

  • Sophie Rain’s OnlyFans Video Security Breach Calls for Increased Security Measures for Creators

    Sophie Rain’s OnlyFans Video Security Breach Calls for Increased Security Measures for Creators

    Privacy violations are nothing new or newsworthy. As long humans have been attempting to interact with one another, there have been humans ignoring boundaries that are in place to protect one person’s secrets from the rest of the village. That has always seemed to go double for humans of the womanly persuasion, who openly acknowledge that sex is a thing.Enter Sophie Rain. The OnlyFans content creator was recently the subject of an MMS video that was leaked online without her consent. If you’ve been living under a rock without WiFi, OnlyFans is a social media platform that is known primarily for its adults only content, though there’s ample content hosted there that is perfectly safe for work, should your boss happen to peek over your shoulder— granted, why are you on OnlyFans during company time? For shame.

    Anyhow, the video leak has raised concerns yet again about digital privacy in an age where more and more people are earning a living simply by showing up online. OnlyFans content creators largely make their living via subscription fees, but their video content is a titch pricier, and it’s only intended for the eyes of the person handing over the money for the video in the first place. So what does that mean when their video content is leaked online?

    Well, aside from potentially explicit content making its way off its intended platform; when content like that is shared without the consent of the creator, that’s a serious breach of the understood social contract. No one is more fierce about boundaries and consent than sex workers. If the work that they’ve charged for is being leaked to the wider world, that’s the equivalent of sharing a pirated copy of an artist’s hard work to the general public. Not cool.

    Content creators rely on discretion from their clients— IE: the people who create the demand for the work they’re doing in the first place— in order to be able to safely go about their business. If the terms set forth surrounding privacy aren’t honored, due to society being society, the psychological and reputational ramifications can seriously hinder their careers. When the work you do is creative— and yes. Content creators are creatives, it’s literally IN THE NAME— then psychological disruptions frequently mean that you can’t work while you get your head sorted out. And reputational damage? When your entire business model is built around popularity on social media, that’s a very real danger to your bottom line.

    OnlyFans likes to pride itself on aggressively protecting the models that generate the platform’s revenue, but that doesn’t make it immune to privacy violations. Since 2022, the platform has seen multiple leaks, despite efforts to ensure that content is protected. More than that, in 2022 OnlyFans was accused of selling images that were taken without consent. OnlyFans wound up being legally protected in that instance, but that doesn’t change the fact that even a platform with as many protections in place as OnlyFans has still manages to have bad actors slip through the cracks.

    Ultimately, whenever you put an image out online, it’s not going to disappear. Once published, even with the most iron-clad firewalls in place there is no guarantee that you’ll be able to keep your content locked down. For most people, a paywall is enough to make them navigate elsewhere in the digital streets. But for bad actors? If they’re on a mission, they’ll eventually find a way.

    So how do platforms like OnlyFans protect the asset that is their content creators?

    We don’t have the answers, but we hope to see continued efforts at boosting protections for content creators, and stricter punishments for those who are caught leaking content that belongs behind paywalls. And we hope that change begins with Sophie Rain seeing better security than she’s been given in recent weeks.

  • Charlie Sheen Plays “Disappointed Dad” as Daughter Sami Joins OnlyFans

    Charlie Sheen Plays “Disappointed Dad” as Daughter Sami Joins OnlyFans

    Not too long after her 18th birthday in 2022, Sami Sheen made the decision to join OnlyFans as a content creator. Since then, the grown child of two well-known actors has had what most would consider a successful career on the platform, but not everyone is thrilled for her. The societal stigma surrounding women in sex work is extra hard to navigate when you’re a public figure, whether you became that way willingly or no. And when your celebrity dad is openly against the way you’ve chosen to make your way in this world? Your choices tend to get a bit more attention than they otherwise would.

    However.

    Charlie Sheen is the dad in question, and he really doesn’t have a leg to stand on here.

    Let’s back up.

    When Sami Sheen joined OnlyFans, she was legally an adult. It was a decision she made on her own, as an adult. By and large, she has used the platform as a means of self-expression, and has actually kept things along the lines of what most would consider “tasteful.” Full nudity isn’t really her thing— for now. She openly discusses her desire for breast augmentation surgery, believing that it would help her to feel more confident in her own body, and has expressed that she might be willing to bear it all once she’s completed the procedure.

    Sami does nothing on OnlyFans unless she wants to. Her presence on the platform is 100% guided by her own goals and preferences. That motivating factor seems to be working out pretty well for her, because between her decision to capitalize on her fame as the child of two celebrities, and her commitment to only showing up the way she wants to; she’s earning up to $80,000/month as an OnlyFans content creator.

    Now. Back to her parents.

    Her mother (Denise Richards) publicly has been nothing but supportive of her daughter’s choice to join OnlyFans and capitalize on her youth, beauty, and celebrity status. She’s stated that she believes supporting her daughter in her chosen career is supporting a positive mother-daughter relationship, and that the way she’s chosen to proceed in her support of her daughter builds trust and autonomy.

    Sami’s father, however? Charlie Sheen has been openly critical of her choices, going so far as to express disdain and personal disappointment, and frankly?

    Glass houses, sir.

    In addition to a documented history of domestic abuse with Sami’s mother, Charlie Sheen was once known to have spent over $50,000 on sex workers.

    So why would he have a problem with his daughter raking in that kind of dough sex work when he used to so willingly hand it over in exchange for services that were reportedly much more explicit than the bikini pics she’s making bank on?

    Could it be that there is some sort of double standard when it comes to sex?

    You don’t say.

    Sami Sheen is amongst the throng of content creators on OnlyFans who view their work as a source of empowerment, and a positive step for women seeking to reclaim their own sexuality, and the right to profit off of the men who are going to ogle them regardless of whether or not they’re charging for it. If men are allowed to go forth and be seen in a positive light as a result of their sexual “conquests,” then women should be allowed to make similar choices about their own bodies without being shamed for portraying themselves as the object that men want to conquer.

    At the end of the day, sex workers are workers. They are out in the world making a living by providing a service that is in high demand. If you’re going to stigmatize the women who are earning a living by charging for the privilege of being someone’s spank candy, maybe at least make sure that you aren’t famous for being the one doing the spanking. The internet has the receipts. *side-eyes Charlie Sheen*

    As far as Sami goes…get that cash, ma’am.

  • OnlyFans Models Out-Earned Professional Athletes Last Year, And Social Media Had Some Big Feelings

    OnlyFans Models Out-Earned Professional Athletes Last Year, And Social Media Had Some Big Feelings

    It’s no secret that professional athletes earn crazy large sums of money in the United States. It’s the big dream of every little kid who discovers that they’re good at dribbling a basketball. Get discovered in high school, get paid to play for a college team, get drafted to an NBA team, and make the big bucks so that you can buy that indoor pool with a twisty slide that you’ve been dreaming about since age 7.Imagine achieving that dream, and then learning that models on OnlyFans are out-earning you by quite a bit.

    Now let’s set aside the idea that you’re an NBA star— although if any of the San Antonio Spurs are reading this *tucks hair behind ear* hi!— and accept the reality that you’re probably a regular scroller of social media.

    Here’s the TL;DR: OnlyFans out-earned NBA players by more than a few zeros in 2023. Collectively, NBA players made $4.9 billion. OnlyFans models? Altogether, they made $6.6 billion. That is not a small chunk of change.

    Now… how does it sit with you to know that adult content creators made more than your favorite NBA superstars last year? Because several social media commenters had some FEELINGS about NBA players collectively not making as much as OnlyFans content creators.

    Honestly, unless you have some sort of stake in either industry, you really shouldn’t feel any sort of way about what is being earned in either, so long as everyone is being fairly compensated for their work.

    Regardless of the way people feel about a platform that is largely made up of sex workers out-earning professional athletes; the digital creator economy has forever changed the way people approach their career path.

    Go with me on a journey for a moment, won’t you?

    How do OnlyFans models earn their income? They pose. They take videos and pictures. They’re putting together sets, adjusting the lighting, editing footage. Each of these roles are jobs typically done by professional set designers, lighting designers, video editors, directors of photography, and so on. People buy access to their image. It’s selling the illusion of having access to their bodies.

    How do NBA players earn their money? They work their bodies to exhaustion playing a highly athletic game in front of a live audience. They have to attend workouts and trainings in order to do what they do, and the parasocial relationships that they have with their fans is a part of the job that they do. They’re also selling the illusion of access to their bodies.

    What’s the difference, aside from the uniforms?

    NBA players have contracts that they have to honor, and games they have to show up for. They have to rely on managers to negotiate their contracts and have to show up to training and team practice. They have to actually play the game, and interact with players on the other side of the court, regardless of whether or not they have a positive relationship with their opponent. Also, the audience? It’s right there. They can definitely hear it when someone chooses to shout insults from the stands.

    OnlyFans models are fully in control of the work that they do. They aren’t relying on a coach— unless they’re paying one to help them with… whatever they feel they need coaching on. They get to set their hours, they can record their footage hours in advance of when they need to post it. They’re on their own team, so there’s never any risk of being traded to another team. And their audience? They get to choose at what level they engage with them. Don’t feel like hearing that someone doesn’t like their eyebrows? Cool, they just don’t read the comments that day.

    Both OnlyFans content creators and NBA players are entertainers, doing it all for the applause. Both industries fare better when the entertainers that drive consumer spending remain relatively visible.

    Are there income inconsistencies within both industries?

    Absolutely. LeBron James and Corinna Kopf are making way more money the average ball player or new content creator.

    The point here, is that if you’re feeling some sort of way about OnlyFans models out-earning your favorite NBA stars? Maybe poke those feelings with a stick, and remind yourself that both industries have crowds of people handing over fistfuls of cash for the pleasure of being able to watch their work.

    …and maybe, just maybe; check your sexism.

  • Twerking Olympic Medalist: “I’m proud of what I’m achieving on OnlyFans”

    Twerking Olympic Medalist: “I’m proud of what I’m achieving on OnlyFans”

    OnlyFans has quite the collection of adult content creators. The platform has definitely grown its fanbase due in large part to the wide range of 18+ images, videos, and audio that are available there.However, the platform is also a key source of financial support for many athletes as well.

    Take, for example, Alysha Newman. Newman is an Olympic medalist who competed in pole-vaulting events for Canada, and scored herself a bronze medal this summer in Paris.

    That medal wasn’t the only thing she scored.

    The vaulter operates an OnlyFans page. When she completed her jump this summer, she knew she’d nailed it, and celebrated by faking an injury and then twerking. She claims this was to cut the tension in the air for her coaches, as they were— understandably— taking the event quite seriously. As a result of her little victory twerk, her OnlyFans page experienced so many views that it temporarily crashed.

    Since this summer, Newman has acknowledged publicly that she is an OnlyFans content creator. What’s more, she claims that title proudly, stating that she is just as proud of her work as an OnlyFans content creator as she is of her prowess in track and field events.

    States Newman, “I am proud of what I am achieving on the platform. It’s empowering… I can connect with my fans, I can inspire people and my fans can support me… This way they get to see almost every aspect of my life.”

    Instead of allowing the media or public to control her narrative, she chose to monetize it and engage with her audience on her own terms.

    The track and field star has actually been operating the page since just prior to the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. She wanted a way to share her Olympic experience, and with COVID precautions, there were no live spectators there to cheer for her, so she took matters into her own hands.

    More than just sexy images, Alysha made sure to share things that her track and field followers would want to see. Her meals in the Olympic village, her exercise routines, her struggles when injured, what she chooses to wear when training and competing; all details that athletes and fans wouldn’t get to see without Newman inviting her audience behind the scenes via her OnlyFans page.

    But wanting to share her experience with an audience isn’t the only reason Newman created an OnlyFans page.

    As a female athlete, Newman has been sexualized without that being her intent. OnlyFans has given her a way to reclaim that aspect of her life as her own, and to be the one who reaps the rewards.

    When women are going to be sexualized regardless, OnlyFans offers a way to flip the script and demand payment for services rendered, while allowing them to reap the protections and benefits of being safely tucked away behind a screen. The platform also gives control back to those whose image is being used, whereas in traditional modeling or brand representation deals, women have historically been exploited, and not compensated fairly.

    While many still view OnlyFans as a platform that degrades women, Alysha Newman disagrees. Says Newman, “I know I won’t get everybody to change their mindset, that’s not my goal.”

    And it seems that she’s accomplished one thing, at least.

    Other Olympians have followed in her footsteps and have launched OnlyFans pages of their own. Elise Christie, Liz Cambage, Verona van de Leur, and others now successfully operate OnlyFans pages.

    As the platform continues to grow and evolve along with the world, people should expect to see more and more profiles of athletes— and other public figures they know and admire— pop up on OnlyFans. Given the platform’s ability to protect its creators, and allow them the capacity to make a living off of what is being done to them anyway offscreen, can you blame them?

  • OnlyFans Faces Another Class Action Suit From Five More Anonymous Plaintiffs

    OnlyFans Faces Another Class Action Suit From Five More Anonymous Plaintiffs

    Five anonymous plaintiffs alleged in a class action lawsuit against OnlyFans’ parent company that the adults-only platform subjects its users to what they’re referring to as “systemic deception.” The complaint includes allegations that paying users are unwittingly interacting with paid chatters who impersonate creators. The plaintiffs claim that this is a violation of privacy.This isn’t the first rodeo for the adults-only platform. OnlyFans has faced class action suits before, and prevailed in court after five (theoretically different) anonymous plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in California. The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California ruled it lacked jurisdiction to hear the case. The plaintiffs had argued that OnlyFans was subject to personal jurisdiction in California due to conducting business there when California residents enrolled in recurring subscriptions. The charges brought forth included:

    • Violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO)
    • Violations of the Federal Video Privacy Protection Act
    • Violations of the California Invasion of Privacy Act
    • Violations of California’s false advertising laws
    • Violations of California’s unfair competition laws
    • Breach of contract
    • Fraud

    The question at the heart of the controversy is that of authenticity: Who are you really talking to when you choose to slide into an OF model’s DMs?

    To understand the controversy, one must first understand how OnlyFans works. Individual creators, commonly known as “models,” run their businesses through an OnlyFans account. That account primarily generates revenue through subscriptions, where followers pay a recurring fee to access exclusive content from that creator. Content creators can also choose to offer additional paid content. Think photos, videos, or personalized interactions that come at a premium. OnlyFans takes a percentage of these earnings, leaving the rest for the creators to enjoy as money earned.

    While the platform gained popularity for its adult content, it needs to be noted that creators span a wide range of industries. Fitness, cooking, and art are all genres that have a strong presence on OnlyFans. The controversy surrounding OnlyFans usually stems from debates surrounding adult content.

    That said, multiple things can be true:

    • Normal adults who are not professional porn stars can create a platform on OnlyFans, make content, and talk to fans via the OF messaging system.
    • Adult film stars can also leverage personal brands on OnlyFans.
    • Keeping up with messages from followers while attending to all other areas of running an OnlyFans business becomes difficult to do at scale.
    • OnlyFans creators are running a business with multiple products and service offerings. The “girlfriend experience” is a paid service.

    It’s not reasonable to expect someone you’re purchasing services from to actually be your partner. But a certain subset of lonely guys subscribe to OnlyFans and conflate this with buying a girlfriend.

    The rise of AI chatbots has made it deceptively easy to fall in love with a robot and confuse this for genuine connection. People get addicted to contacting a pretend partner who has no needs, remembers everything about them, never suggests you go to therapy, and always responds right away with an answer that is tailored to whatever needs the human initiating the chatting might have.

    OnlyFans terms of service don’t specifically allow the use of chat services, but their terms do caution against using “OnlyFans to engage in misleading or deceptive conduct, or conduct that is likely to mislead or deceive any other User.”

    It is generally understood that the actors in adult films are putting on a performance. As with any performance, the audience is encouraged to suspend disbelief. In other words: everyone sets aside their critical thinking skills and knowledge of how the real world operates while they’re enjoying a performance, because reality would wreck the story. Intellectually, you might be aware that there are dozens of people on a film set even though there are only two actors on screen. But when you’re watching a movie (pornographic or otherwise), you’re not thinking about the director of photography or the costume designer. You’re focused on the actors giving a performance. The difference is that on OnlyFans, you can interact with the leading lady when she’s not in the middle of a scene.

    And so does everyone else who pays for that privilege.

    When your favorite local coffee shop gains popularity, and needs help keeping up with demand, the business owner hires additional baristas to help make lattes. Businesses that grow need support staff to continue to meet the needs of consumers – especially when those consumers demand 24/7 attention. It only makes sense that a model who amasses thousands of subscribers would need some customer support staff to help her care for every thirsty user. That’s what OnlyFans chatters are. Support staff.

    So what options does this leave OnlyFans consumers who want to guarantee that their favorite model is indeed the one speaking to them? The only way to be sure the original creator is the one behind the screen is to order a custom video.

    The end of the story is this: OnlyFans content creators are business owners protecting their bottom line. You might be interesting, but talking about your cat isn’t going to be fascinating enough to get them to give you their focused attention for free. If you want that attention, and it’s important to you that a bot isn’t on the other side of the chatbox, understand that you’re asking a business owner to provide a service. No business is in it for free.

    With sending private photos to beautiful strangers on the internet, as with all things: Caveat emptor, some restrictions may apply.

  • OnlyFeud: Supermodel Sisters’ Family Row Over OnlyFans

    OnlyFeud: Supermodel Sisters’ Family Row Over OnlyFans

    Sisters Kate and Lottie Moss used to be close—so close that in 2020, during lockdown, they chose to live together. But recently, the sisters have been through a bit of a rift. Most of the family stopped speaking to Lottie altogether after the model chose to strip down for the camera on OnlyFans.20 years Kate’s junior, Lottie Moss began modeling at the tender age of 16. More than once the model has spoken out about how detrimental it was to her development to be in front of a camera that way at such a young age. Said the model in 2022, “Being in a toxic industry at a very young age took its toll on me… having my every move watched since I was 16 has been difficult for my mental health.”

    It shouldn’t come as any surprise that a woman who was pressured into being sexualized by the modeling industry so young chose to turn the tables in her favor by claiming ownership of when and how she was being sexualized.

    But wasn’t Kate Moss a model who was known for the sexy images she posed for at the behest of Calvin Klein?

    Yes.

    However, their careers have different financial implications. Kate’s traditional modeling career brought substantial wealth and status, making her a media darling and setting a high bar within the family. While lucrative, Lottie’s work on OnlyFans doesn’t carry the same degree of societal prestige, leading to a complicated dynamic where financial success does not equate to social approval.

    The key difference between Kate’s success and Lottie’s? Kate was chosen, and Lottie made a choice.

    When women choose to profit from their sexuality, they often face criticism and judgment, not only from the public but also from those closest to them. Such was the case with Lottie, as she faced backlash from her family in 2021 when it became known that she’d chosen to become an OnlyFans content creator after her move to Los Angeles. The tension with her family, particularly her half-sister– and fellow model– Kate, reflects a broader societal divide on this issue. Traditional values and expectations can clash with modern notions of sexual empowerment, and those values and expectations often lead to conflicts that are not easily resolved.

    LA is full of OF creators and XXX stars, so it’s no surprise that model-turned-creator Lottie found a community there. But she was unprepared for the pariah treatment she got when she returned to the UK.

    However, it would seem that the family is at least attempting to mend fences, and is speaking to one another again. Kate and Lottie were pictured with other family members at their father’s 80th birthday party in East Sussex. The sisters, their elder brother, his girlfriend, and Kate’s daughter Lila all appeared to enjoy their time together.

    Are they burying the hatchet with Lottie?

    Time will tell. But given that Lila has also chosen to honor family tradition and enter the modeling industry, one would hope that the rest of the family is able to recognize that OnlyFans has given Lottie a sense of control and safety after an adolescence spent in such a brutal industry.

    Regardless of where the wind blows for the Moss family, Lottie has made it clear that she’ll be taking care of herself as she sees fit; wearing skimpy dresses and furry pink boots for the camera.

  • Brianna Coppage Has Been Fired Again Over Her OnlyFans

    Brianna Coppage Has Been Fired Again Over Her OnlyFans

    Brianna Coppage was fired after her employer found out about her OnlyFans gig.

    If that sounds similar to headlines that made news all across the country last September, that’s because it is.

    Six months ago, Coppage was a high school English teacher in St. Clair, Missouri, when school administrators let her go after discovering she was moonlighting as an OnlyFans performer. Coppage made the most of the situation, riding the wave of publicity to increase her OnlyFans subscribers, and within a month made almost $1 million off the platform. She also used the opportunity to be vocal about paltry teacher pay in Missouri, contrasting the serious dough she pulled in from OnlyFans to the $42,000 she was paid annually as an educator.

    But in the months since, Coppage says she came to realize that though the money is great, she needed to do more than just OnlyFans.

    “I was a teacher doing public service, helping people and helping kids,” she says. “That’s my goal in life. OnlyFans doesn’t fulfill that part.” She also says she wanted to get back into more of a routine of going to work for a nine to five job for the sake of her mental health.

     

    Coppage goes by "BrooklinLovexxx" for her OnlyFans gig. - COURTESY OF BRIANNA COPPAGE

    COURTESY OF BRIANNA COPPAGE

    Coppage goes by “BrooklinLovexxx” for her OnlyFans gig.

    So last month, while maintaining her OnlyFans hustle, Coppage started applying to various jobs, all of which had strong public service components. She applied to one at the University of Missouri St. Louis and another at Compass Health, a nonprofit healthcare organization. She was hired at the latter as a community support specialist and started the first week in March.

    It didn’t last long.

    She admits she didn’t put OnlyFans on her resume but that information isn’t hard to find.

    Other employees made quick work finding it and they started sending management links to articles about Coppage and links to her social media as well. She says that after five days she was fired.

    The situation has left her feeling despair.

    “There’s still such a stigma,” she says of the performing she does on OnlyFans. “I thrive in an environment helping others. And, yeah, I guess I’m just not going to be allowed to do that anymore.”

    She adds, “We’re not doing anything wrong. And we’re not doing anything illegal. I just don’t understand.”

    Compass Health did not immediately respond to a request for comment. We’ll update this post if we hear back.

    Coppage was adamant she doesn’t want press coverage so that people would feel sorry for her. She wants to shine a light on a stigma against adult entertainment workers that she thinks is unfair. She’s certainly not alone in her predicament; last fall, the RFT reported on Rachel Worcel, a model previously featured in Hustler who’s previously done some nude work. Worcel was fired by the St. Louis-based Simon Law Firm just two days after beginning a job as a paralegal.

    Having said that, if you ask us, surely there is a CEO or nonprofit director who could use someone with Coppage’s resume. She’s clearly very good at making the best of bad circumstances. She exponentially grew her own small business. Prior to that, as an English teacher, she was undaunted by the prospect of having to get entire classes of teenagers to somehow read books — a pretty major feat in the year 2024.

    She says she’s actively mulling over other jobs that would allow her to help others. She’s considered cosmetology, where she could help other people feel good about how they look. But even as she plans for what she wants to do next, she can’t help but wonder how it will come undone.

    “It’s like, how many things am I gonna get boxed out of, turned away from?” she says.

     

  • OnlyFans’ Favorite Missouri Teachers Inspired New South Park Special

    OnlyFans’ Favorite Missouri Teachers Inspired New South Park Special

    Former St. Clair High School teachers Brianna Coppage and Megan Gaither were already having quite the 2023 when, this week, they went Hollywood — or at least South Park, Colorado.

    Side by side

    Coppage and Gaither taught English and English Language Arts at the rural Missouri high school until October, when they were separately outed as OnlyFans performers — and swiftly forced out of their classrooms. Their stories made headlines worldwide, drastically increasing their subscriber counts on the adult website and making what had been side hustles far more lucrative than their 9 to 5 ever was.

    Now they can add one more line to their CVs: inspiration for a South Park special.

     

    OnlyFans' Favorite Missouri Teachers Inspired New South Park Special

    RFT STAFF

    Streaming on Paramount+, the 45 minute-long South Park (Not Suitable for Children), begins with a revelation that an art teacher at South Park Elementary is moonlighting making adult content. Naturally, once the parents of the fictional small Colorado town get wind of this, they gather in the school cafeteria for a PTA meeting to express their outrage over the teacher who “makes close to minimum wage as a teacher but on OnlyFans makes an extra $10,000 a week.”

    The parents blame the teacher because their kids will see her naked online. The teachers blame the parents for buying their kids smartphones.

    “We can’t control what our kids drink or what they watch. They’re your kids,” yells Stephen Stotch, father of the hapless Butters, to a group of South Park Elementary teachers and administrators. It would be great satire if it were still possible to exaggerate reality for satirical effect.

    The RFT caught up with Coppage, who said that she enjoyed the special.

    “I have to laugh about it poking fun at me!” she texted.

    Gaither said that thought the trailer was hilarious and planned to watch the full show soon.

    “We knew they took inspiration from us immediately,” she said.

    In November, Coppage said she’d already pulled in close to $1 million from her OnlyFans subscribers. Gaither tells the RFT she’s making “five figures” weekly.

    Coppage resigned in late October, a few weeks after school administrators suspended her from her teaching job. Gaither has been put on administrative leave but despite the school wanting her to do so, she tells the RFT she isn’t resigning.

    “Thus far, I’ve refused,” she says.

  • Missouri Teacher Brianna Coppage Is OnlyFans’ ‘Favorite MILF’

    Missouri Teacher Brianna Coppage Is OnlyFans’ ‘Favorite MILF’

    St. Clair High School teacher Brianna Coppage is leaning into her side gig on OnlyFans.

    Last week, 28-year-old Brianna Coppage was put on leave by the St. Clair High School, the rural Missouri school where she taught English Language Arts to ninth and tenth graders. The reason? Coppage had a side gig working on OnlyFans as BrooklinLovexxx, where she promises paid subscribers a glimpse at everything from “squirting” and “anal” to “cream pie” and “solo play.”

    St. Clair is a town of about 4,700 an hour southwest of St. Louis. A school administrator there said that the district had been recently notified that Coppage “may have posted inappropriate media on one or more internet sites” and an investigation into the matter was being undertaken. In the meantime, Coppage is barred from the classroom.

    The public outrage was swift — not against Coppage, but at the school for acting so aghast that an employee they paid $42,000 a year would work to supplement that income. Her story has made headlines all across Missouri and even across the Atlantic.

    We caught up with Coppage, who markets herself on OnlyFans as “your favorite MILF,” to talk about how she got started on OnlyFans, society’s changing attitudes toward sex work and what the last few days have been like.

    This conversation has been edited for clarity and length.

    You’d been a teacher since 2018, and got into OnlyFans earlier this year. What made you want to give adult work a try?

    I’d always heard the success stories about people who made money. It was like, “You can pay off your student loans and whatever else.” So it was those stories that made me think, “Wow, I want to try that and see if it would work for me.” That’s how it started.

    Coppage goes by “BrooklinLovexxx” for her online gig.

    And you’ve enjoyed it, it sounds like?

    Absolutely. I do enjoy it. I think it gives people the ability to express themselves and just do something that maybe even gives them a chance to be their authentic self.

    I read that you’re making $10,000 a month on the platform. Were you at all surprised by your success after just a few months on OnlyFans?

    I definitely was. It definitely didn’t happen immediately. It didn’t blow up until I collaborated with some other creators who have a big following in St. Louis. And that’s really when things started taking off for me. It’s been a lot of trial and error. OnlyFans doesn’t do any marketing for you. They don’t have a “for you” page when you can go to discover people. So you have to do a lot of marketing in other, different spaces.

    A subscription to your page is $10/month. How many followers do you have?

    Well, it’s really blown up recently. We’re getting close to 1,500.

    I don’t want to say that what’s happened has been good, but it sounds like there’s a silver lining?

    Absolutely. I mean, I really had two choices. One was to delete everything and hide from it, and my name was still going to be out there anyway. I knew that I wasn’t going to go back into education. So it was either run and hide, or lean into it. And at the end of the day, I still have bills to pay and I still have like a family to provide for. So it was not really a difficult choice to just lean in.

    What’s the overall reaction been like?

    The reaction has been very, very supportive. I’m honestly surprised. Many people are saying, “Leave her alone, this is her personal business.” A lot of people are pointing out this wouldn’t happen if we paid teachers a livable wage. The support has honestly been overwhelmingly positive. There’s always going to be those negative comments that are out there. But they’ve been few and far between.

    Someone reached out to me and they said they were an administrator at a Catholic school. They said, “You do you. You’re doing awesome. You deserve all the support.” That was surprising.

    Has there been anyone where it’s been especially tough for them to find out?

    I’m not embarrassed for myself. I’m really not even worried about myself. But it is tough to have these conversations with your family. That’s never easy.

    What has their reaction been like thus far in general?

    Shocked, at first. But then supportive.

    What do you make of the way people in their 30s and younger think of work on platforms like OnlyFans versus an older-school mentality?

    Everyone has their own moral compass, and what someone deems as acceptable is obviously going to vary from person to person. I do think that, after 2020, wen OnlyFans kind of exploded, there were suddenly a lot of younger creators coming out like every single day. So I don’t know, it does seem like it’s becoming more acceptable. That being said, I’m not saying I would want to promote it [as a line of work] to a younger generation. But people are becoming more accepting.

    What’s next for you?

    I’m just going to lean into my online presence and try to make the most of it.

  • OnlyFans Model Who Licked Airport Toilets Flashes Boobs At Trump Rally

    OnlyFans Model Who Licked Airport Toilets Flashes Boobs At Trump Rally

    Well, she did it again. Ava Louise has once again managed to grab national media attention by flashing her breasts publicly—this time at a rally for a presidential candidate. The recipient of this “honor” was none other than Donald J. Trump, and security was quick to escort her from the premises. The OnlyFans star has a history of creating shocking moments, from her infamous appearance on Dr. Phil, to broadcasting herself licking an airplane toilet during COVID, to shutting down the Dublin-to-New York streaming portal by flashing her chest. This viral chaos queen seems determined to maintain her crown.Ava Louise first got a taste for the spotlight in 2019 when she appeared on Dr. Phil. The content creator shared her over-the-top ambitions for fame and a life in the limelight. During her segment, she claimed to prefer fame over friends, stated that she’d rather “die hot than live ugly,” and admitted to using diet pills excessively to maintain her appearance. Her outrageous statements worked, garnering her a wealth of attention online.

    She followed up by participating in a “coronavirus challenge,” licking a toilet in one of the most disgusting places possible: an airplane restroom. She did this during the pandemic, at a time when people were still actively taking precautions to prevent the spread of the disease. The video went viral, much to her delight. At the time, she framed it as a social media challenge but later admitted it was purely for attention—proving, once again, that there’s not much she won’t do for clout.

    Ava Louise doesn’t just perform stunts that thrust her into the limelight; she’s also known for circulating bogus celebrity rumors, always hinting that she has insider information. Her talent for keeping people shocked and tuned in has affected celebs like Kanye West and the Kardashian family, much to their chagrin—and her delight.

    She claims her latest stunt at the Trump rally was an act of protest against the former president. Given his reputation for enjoying female attention, one has to wonder exactly how flashing him was protesting anything he might, allegedly, enjoy seeing. It’s almost as if it wasn’t so much a protest as another attention grab.

    Love her or hate her, Ava Louise is still trending. At this point, she could sell a masterclass on achieving viral fame—complete with bonus material on dealing with public backlash. Her TikTok and OnlyFans pages are always hopping, despite the eye rolls she generates with her antics. One has to wonder… how does she manage to keep all eyes on her?
