Article content

You may think of OnlyFans as a site used primarily by sex workers, models, and former civil servants and teachers who want to make more money.

But the internet subscription service also hosts others — notably, famous content creators.

Many celebrities are part of the platform. Here are a handful you might not know about:

Carmen Electra

The actress and model joined OnlyFans because she felt the site was a “safe place” where she could be her own boss.

“I have become my own creative director, my own stylist, my own visionary,” she told Fox News.

“It’s intense and very empowering,” she added. “It’s so self-empowering.”

Bella Thorne

The actor and singer who joined in 2020 claimed to have made more than $1 million on her first day as an OnlyFans creator, and $2 million her first week.

That prompted the site to put a limit on how much people can charge and tip for content. Thorne was slammed by many on the site, particularly by sex workers who use the site to make a living, stating that the changes made by OnlyFans were harmful to existing creators.

Iggy Azalea

The rapper joined OnlyFans to share content of her multimedia project Hotter Than Hell, but soon realized that not only did she actually enjoy posing for the site but admitted making “so much money” she wouldn’t even reveal how much.

“I’m going to post pictures like that anyway because I like it and I think they’re beautiful, and I like my breasts. F***, sorry!” she told Emily Ratajkowski on her podcast.

“I made record labels so much money off my body. I made a lot of people so much money off my body,” she added. “I got the smallest cut off my own f***ing body and my own work and my own ideas. And I don’t think I have to say sorry about the fact that I want to commodify my own s***.”

Amber Rose

The model and actress, who joined OnlyFans during the pandemic, also finds the site so empowering and even had a conversation with her nine-year-old son Sebastian about it after he learned about her page from a friend.

“I just explained everything to him,” she told Ratajkowski on her podcast. “Like, when it comes to women, you have to let women do what they need to do to support their families.”

She said: “You want to go to a nice school? Six Flags? Universal? Travel? Mommy has to make money.”

Denise Richards

The actress and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star made her own OnlyFans account shortly after her daughter, Sami Sheen, set up her own.

Sami, whose father is Richards’ ex, Charlie Sheen, was under fire for joining the site last year soon after she turned 18, and users and content creators ripped into her after she recently identified as a “sex worker” in a TikTok video.

The now-19-year-old noted that while she’s “not comfortable” with certain acts, she said that “if people did their f***ing research, they would realize that there are multiple forms of [sex] work.”

Charlie initially was not supportive of Sami on the site but vowed to keep “a united parental front” with his ex in support of their daughter.

No word on how Sheen feels about his Denise being on the platform.
