I stand by what I said earlier in regards to people paying her $200 for nude pictures (which she didn't even deliver on). It's an absurd amount to pay for something like that. That said, I'm not going to stand for the legitimate people on OnlyFans being called scammers or hustlers. Is it a hustle when I go to the corner store and buy a Coke? No. Then why should sex work be looked at any differently? Its a paid service like anything else.

Indeed; nobody's going to OnlyFans looking for fine art and classical literature and somehow being hustled into paying for porn.

I have no sympathy for the fellow content providers that are pissed at her. She hustled, just like the rest of them. If you were running a lemonade stand and I built one next to you charging double but claiming it was higher quality lemonade but it was actually microwaved piss and I stole all your customers, you'd be right to be annoyed.

If you're willing to pay $200 for one nude picture when there's gazillions of free ones on the internet, you have a problem. I mean $200, go to a strip club and get A few dances if you're gonna pay for nudity. Not really the best idea to be going to a strip club at the moment.

Just like no one's forcing them into strip clubs. If someone can provide some extra income from some pics and videos, then good for them imo.

Meh, regardless, these people wanted Bella Thorne’s lemonade over the others. She found an angle, they have the opportunity to as well.

And then when she gave them an empty cup, the township came in and said "Ok, we're changing the entire system that people can pay for lemonade with."...so no, not only don't they "have an angle" but they don't even have the original system that was working for them before this girl started swinging her privileged scam around.

It's amazing that some people keep on completely missing the point here. It's completely irrelevant that Bella Thorne was on OF and if people wanted her risque pictures or if they weren't going to spend money on other providers. What matters is that Bella Thorne screwed over actual sex workers because her scamming people led to OnlyFans changing its policies to limit the amount of money content providers can make via PPV's and tips. They also changed payments from a weekly to a monthly format to allow for a longer refund window.
Most sex workers aren't exactly wealthy and many live paycheck to paycheck, especially in this coronavirus world where in-person encounters are extremely limited, if not outright impractical. That second change could make the difference between making rent or paying vital bills or not.

Also worth noting that even though she's trying to backpedal and say it's to help destigmatise sex work, when there was less backlash her whole angle was "Oh, I'm trying to do this film project so I wanted to research and understand it". And... No. She'll never understand because she's an actual millionaire with a mansion to live in. She has a safety net, which most people in the industry don't have. They can't depend on their Disney money, they have to keep struggling to earn month to month, and now her thoughtless actions have made that harder.
It's pretty much this in a nutshell:

The only way she would've helped de-stigmatize sex work is if she didn't scam people while cosplaying as a sex worker and donated any money she made to actual sex workers.

So, Bella is one of those people who I have heard the name of, but struggle to recall much of what she's done. A bit part in The Duff, a bit part in that Netflix Babysitter movie, a Disney show with Zendaya many years ago, and leaking her nudes on Twitter to prevent her nudes from being leaked on Twitter by someone else.
And this is the level of fame required to break a large website?

And this is the level of fame required to break a large website? She's got 6.7 million followers on Twitter, pulled in a million dollars from subscriptions within 24 hours of joining the site, and doubled that in a week. Compare that to the average user, who has a few hundred followers at best. If all their subscribers demand refunds, it's not a huge problem for the site.

If you presented this story as a blind item without including her name, Bella Thorne would have at least been one of my first five guesses of which celebrity it was.
This is the exact kind of thing I expect her to do.

The only thing she did wrong was mislead people with the sale of nudes that weren't. It's not her fault that people were willing to pay her what she asked. A scam. That's a scam. And she ruined the whole site for the over 400K people that make a living there. f*** any defense she tries to make of this, this was a millionaire trying to make a quick buck by screwing over people just trying to pay rent.
