WyldeMan wrote:Sorry, it's not $50 per day but $50 per Transaction. OnlyFans capped the transaction limit at $50, cutting it by 3/4 from the original $200 it's apparently always been at.

The women could previously ask for up to $200 per custom video, picture package or whatever they're offering but because Bella scammed so many people out of $200 and caused so many refund demands that the powers that be at OnlyFans have now capped the transaction limits at $50 and the women now have to wait 30 days to get paid instead of 7.

Bacially when Bella fucked over her weird horny fans, she royally fucked over all of the women who use the service to make their income. But hey, Bella made $2 million from her scam, so what's the harm?

Sean Baker Says He’s Not Making a Movie With Bella Thorne About OnlyFans, Amid Backlash From Sex Workers

Indie filmmaker Sean Baker says he isn’t making any kind of movie about Bella Thorne and her record-breaking debut on OnlyFans.

In a statement Friday, Baker, whose credits include “The Florida Project” and “Tangerine,” disavowed any connection to a Thorne-OnlyFans project. His announcement comes after a backlash among sex workers who rely on income from OnlyFans about Thorne’s arrival on the subscription-based platform. OnlyFans recently reduced the maximum limit creators can charge for exclusive content from $200 to $50, and extended the time to pay creators from seven to 30 days — changes some in the community blame on Thorne. The social network has a reputation for hosting pornographic content, while Thorne has said she will not post nude content on OnlyFans.

Thorne, one-time star of Disney Channel’s “Shake It Up,” launched a $20-per-month OnlyFans account on Aug. 19. According to OnlyFans, she earned more than $1 million in her first 24 hours on the platform, setting a new record for the site. Thorne has since raked in upwards of $2 million from OnlyFans.

Last week, Thorne enthusiastically shared plans to make a documentary feature with Baker about her OnlyFans experience. In an Instagram post, the actor said she’s “excited to talk about the politics behind female body shaming & sex!!! With the amazing director sean baker who I’m proud to call my friend.”

Baker, in a statement posted on Twitter Aug. 28, said he is not, in fact, making a film about OnlyFans and Thorne. “I would like to make it clear that the news of me making a film (documentary or fiction narrative) about Onlyfans and using Bella Thorne as research is false.”

According to Baker, in a call earlier this month with Thorne, they discussed a potential project “in the far future” that would “focus on her life and the circumstances leading to her joining OnlyFans.”

However, Baker said, “On that call, I advised her team to consult with sex workers and address the way she went about this as to NOT hurt the sex work industry… I am an ally and have literally devoted my career to tell stories that remove stigma and normalize lifestyles that are under attack. I would never do anything that could possibly hurt the community. So please know that this news is not correct.”

Baker added that he is in development on two features “that I’ve put years of research and love into and neither of these films have anything to do with Ms. Thorne or Onlyfans.”

Thorne has not directly commented on Baker’s statement distancing himself from an OnlyFans project with her. However, Thorne on Friday retweeted comments by Baby Gemini (@hedonistlovers), a porn performer who sells an $8 monthly subscription on OnlyFans for access to explicit videos and photos.

In the Twitter thread, Baby Gemini said Thorne, who was her landlord for a brief period and let her film in the family’s home, “is an advocate for sex workers & has personally spoke on how she wants to make it more ‘normalized’ in society.” But Thorne’s launch on OnlyFans “backfired due to the lack of knowledge pertaining to how OF works,” Baby Gemini continued.

“Since I am very involved in [OnlyFans] and the online sex work community I reached out to Bella to meet up so we can speak on the real issues of sex work/onlyfans/gatekeeping and to educate as much as possible,” Baby Gemini wrote. “What happened to the smaller accounts because of the surge [by Thorne’s launch on OnlyFans] IS NOT FAIR… But we can work to fix !!!!! and I KNOW Bella agrees.”

[UPDATE: On Saturday, Thorne posted a series of tweets apologizing to the sex-worker community, saying she is meeting with OnlyFans to discuss the new restrictions. “This is f—ed up and I’m sorry,” she said. Thorne claimed she was trying to remove the stigma surrounding sex work by bringing attention to OnlyFans. “I am a mainstream face and when you have a voice, a platform, you try to use you in helping others and advocate for something bigger than yourself. Again in this process I hurt you and for that I’m truly sorry,” she wrote in another tweet.]

Earlier this week, Thorne discussed her plans to star in a film about OnlyFans that would be written and directed by Baker in an interview with the L.A. Times. She said she launched her OnlyFans account partly as research for the project.

“I’m super stoked because we are both really interested in the politics of the movie and making sure there’s a strong voice,” Thorne told the publication. “It’s a feature we are researching as I’m living it currently. What are the ins and outs? What does a platform like this do to its users?… You can be me, or this talented girl from Montana, and OnlyFans could change your life — if you want it to, of course.”

In 2019, Pornhub premiered Thorne’s film directorial debut, the pornographic original short “Her & Him,” described as a “sexually explicit reimagining of Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet.'” Among her acting credits, Thorne starred in Netflix horror film “The Babysitter” and appears in the sequel, “The Babysitter: Killer Queen” (set to be released Sept. 10) and also recently starred in crime-thriller movie “Infamous.”

OnlyFans says that since launching in September 2016, it has paid out more than $1 billion to creators. The service currently has more than 50 million registered users and 700,000 content creators, according to OnlyFans.

CBS All Access has debuted the first footage from the latest Stephen King adaptation, The Stand, set to premiere December 17. (New installments of the nine-episode limited series will then air weekly each Thursday.)

Based on King’s bestselling novel, The Stand centers on a battle between good and evil in a post-apocalyptic world, with the elderly Mother Abagail (played by The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg) and a small group of survivors going up against the villainous Randall Flagg aka The Dark Man (played by True Blood alum Alexander Skarsgård).

In the trailer embedded above, we catch a first glimpse of Goldberg’s Abigail Freemantle, as another character yells out, “Hello? Anyone alive out there?” The post-virus world has slowed to a dead stop, wth survivors searching their surroundings for answers. The teaser also shows abandoned cities, corn stalk mayhem, sick patients writhing in bed, gunshots and then Freemantle again — only this time she’s staring down a savage looking white wolf with a mean set of chompers.

King himself will write the ninth and final episode, including a new coda not found in the original novel. Goldberg and Skarsgård will be joined by an ensemble cast including Dead to Me’s James Marsden (as Stu Redman), Amber Heard (as Nadine Cross), Odessa Young (as Frannie Goldsmith), Henry Zaga (as Nick Andros), Arrow’s Katherine McNamara (as Julie Lawry) and Jovan Adepo (as Larry Underwood).

The Stand was previously adapted into a 1994 ABC miniseries starring Gary Sinise.

Apparently she did sign a prenup, but is saying she was forced to sign it, and at one point Dre supposedly ripped it up.

A fire that has destroyed over 7,000 acres and forced the evacuation of 3,000 residents was caused by a "smoke generating" explosive used at a gender-reveal party, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. "With the dry conditions and critical fire weather, it doesn’t take much to start a wildfire. Those responsible for starting fires due to negligence or illegal activity can be held financially and criminally responsible," the statement said.

joey con carne wrote:I hope those idiots are held liable for that destruction. But I’m sure nothing will happen to them. The authorities always say they will hold people liable for damages but they never do.
