Sarah Jayne Dunn opens up on OnlyFans and Hollyoaks exit
Sarah Jayne Dunn has explained the reasons why she joined adult-only subscription site OnlyFans, in the wake of her being given the axe by Hollyoaks.
The 40-year-old actress has been thrown into the spotlight after the Channel 4 soap terminated her contract after she refused to remove her OnlyFans account.
Sarah had played Mandy Richardson on the soap since 1996 but when she announced that she was joining the over-18’s site, with the aim of sharing images with followers that were a little more racy than her Instagram output.
It became a huge talking point as Sarah looked to “own” her image, saying the subscription site was “much safer” than Instagram, and she received a lot of support from friends, family and cast mates over her decision.

Speaking to Daily Star, Sarah explained the real reasons for her move to OnlyFans.
The soap star said: “They [Hollyoaks] talk about the younger audience but the younger audience can’t access OnlyFans.
“People can contact you and send unsolicited picture on Instagram. You can report them but they can make another account and message you again and again.
“The sort of trolling and abuse on Instagram is continuous and you can’t really stop it but for me OnlyFans is a much safer space.”
Sarah went on to say that she has closed access to direct messages on Instagram as she was fed up with the amount of ‘grim’ photos she would get from horny fans.
She continued: “You can imagine the sort of pictures that gets sent.
“On Instagram, if you click on a direct message and there’s an image attached to it you cannot not see it because it’s just there.
“I stopped going into my DMs on Instagram because I was getting so many messages that were making me feel uncomfortable and a bit vulnerable. It’s not nice having that stuff sent to you if you don’t want it.”

Sarah said that the social media site is not policed as it would be if the actions were taken “in the street”.
She added: “If someone flashed you in the street you’d report them to the police so why is it any different on Instagram? Someone you don’t know is essentially flashing you or worse. I don’t want to see that.
“On OnlyFans, if someone sends you a picture it’s pixelated so if I wanted to open it, it would be my choice and makes me feel more control of the whole situation.”
