The Actress-to-OnlyFans Pipeline Heats Up

Is progressive Hollywood's age obsession chasing stars to racy platform?

Hollywood feminists rise up whenever it fits their needs, not always when they’re needed.

Now, some starlets are taking their careers into their own hands, but in a way that will shock some supporters.

More on that in a moment…

First, a quick reminder of when starlets speak out and when they go mum.

  • Judge Brett Kavanaugh was part of a poorly remembered sex assault as a young man? It’s time to march!
  • President Joe Biden was credibly accused of sexual assault by a staffer? “When we say, “Believe All Women,” what we really mean is …”
  • If an actress gets less compensation than a man on a particular project, it’s Battle Stations time!
  • And when a strong, proud actress like Gina Carano gets unfairly fired for sharing right-leaning views, good luck finding a single feminist to have her back.

You get the drill. Yet some genuine injustices fall on actresses in Hollywood. That’s particularly true as Father Time comes calling.

Remember how “Bill & Ted Face the Music” recast the franchise’s female co-stars for younger actresses? Or how Kelly McGillis shrugged when she was passed over for “Top Gun: Maverick,” knowing that she looked her age and that didn’t interest Hollywood?

Now, some stars are turning to a platform known for racy material to keep the money flowing. Drea de Matteo of “The Sopranos” fame got elbowed out of Hollywood, in part, because she didn’t abide by the industry’s draconian pandemic protocols.

Enter OnlyFans, a popular platform known for a lack of censorship and, often, extreme sexual content.

“I don’t know why I didn’t do it sooner,” the now-54-year-old actress said at the time of her account, which avoids the platform’s more prurient side.

More recently, “American Pie” alum Shannon Elizabeth announced she’s following de Matteo to OnlyFans, too. The 52-year-old actress cashed in big time in her first few days on the platform.

“We had no idea that we would do as well as we have … My manager and I were talking about it, and he would say, ‘Well, you know, this might be what happens.’ But I think his quote was, at one point, he said, ‘You’ve now made more money in the span of a week or two than you did on American Pie, Scary Movie, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Love Actually combined.’”

The new funds will help her for obvious reasons, plus it can extend to her work on behalf of endangered species.

Now, it’s Jaime Pressly’s turn.

The “My Name Is Earl” star just joined her fellow actresses on the platform. She didn’t say much about what she’ll share online, but the actress praised the platform to Variety for allowing her to stay connected with fans.

“I’ve always believed in evolving with the times … this is another way for me to connect directly with my audience, on my own terms, with creativity and intention. I’ve loved meeting fans at various Comic Cons, and the excitement of having those real face to face moments made me want to seek options like OnlyFans.”

Her stellar work on “Earl” drew accolades, and she often appears in Comic-Con friendly fare like “I Love You, Man” and “DOA: Dead or Alive.”

Pressly is 48. Previous OnlyFans model Denise Richards (“The World Is Not Enough,” “Wild Things”) is 55.

See a pattern? Hollywood is always eager to embrace the next young starlet. Some actresses can overcome that trend – think Meryl Streep (76), Cate Blanchett (56) and Sandra Bullock (61).

Many others aren’t so fortunate.

Now, for better and perhaps worse in the eyes of some, they have OnlyFans to fall back on.

  1. Looking forward to the “leaked” photos and videos! Women AND Men age – some more gracefully than others! The ones who lived decently seem to have kept their physical shapes and faces intact and only the weight of TIME has changed them. Others TRIED to “stay young” with the various drugs and surgeries only to look like artificial old people! Why can’t Hollywood write movies to include older actors and actresses just BEING older entertaining people? Most of us older guys still think of a 52 year old as a “hot young chick”! Now don’t go throwing an OLD HAG like Rosie into the mix – she was butt ugly from the beginning and has let her hatred drain her soul!

  2. Yeah, it’s good to remember when you’re young that your lifespan is no more than 10 – tops 15 years. Then there is another delivery of good looking young starlets. So, while your at it, don’t spend all your money and save some for a rainy day. Otherwise, it’s a single trip to OF, where you can try to sell your saggy goods to the last few incel fans you have left.

    Imagine if a Right-owned business openly fired women for not being young and hot. And yet we’re supposed to believe Left equals “progressive”.

  4. it’s immoral to make millions by being nude when you can just as well clean a fat lady’s toe jam at a salon for $15.00 an hour. Clutch your pearls tight or you might drop them.

  5. Not being able to get a job in Hollywood doesn’t force you to sell your butt hole for 6.99 a month. A lack of MORALS does.
