It hasn’t even been a week since Bella Thorne joined OnlyFans, and the 22-year-old says she’s already made $2 million from her page. The actress became a part of the subscription-only social media platform Wednesday, charging users $20 a month for access to her feed. The site — which allows influencers, adult entertainers and celebrities to share content that might be too X-rated for Instagram or Twitter — also hosts pages from Cardi B and some members of Bravo’s “Real Housewives.”
But Thorne isn’t on OnlyFans just to make bank. Sure, she admits, that’s certainly part of it: She’s planning on putting the earnings into her production company and toward charity. But she also says she’s using the site as research for a new movie she’s making with Sean Baker, the director of such critically acclaimed indie films as “The Florida Project” and “Tangerine.”
“It’s a feature we are researching as I’m living it currently,” Thorne explained via — what else? — text message. “What are the ins and outs? 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 can it change your life for the worse and the better? How far are you willing to go, and how far do you WANT to go? You can be me, or this talented girl from Montana, and OnlyFans could change your life — if you want it to, of course.”
