3 OnlyFans creators weigh in on Bonnie Blue's shock, ‘permanent' OF ban

By now, you'll have surely heard of Bonnie Blue: a woman who is no stranger to online infamy. The 26-year-old OnlyFans creator is notorious for her extreme sex stunts, including breaking the world record for sleeping with 1,000 men in a day. She's also toured university freshers weeks in the UK and visited Cancun, a popular spring break destination for US students, offering 'barely legal' men (aged at least 18) the opportunity to sleep with her in exchange for their consent to be filmed and appear in her OF content. Her stunts have gained her a substantial online following — and attracted considerable backlash. Speaking to Cosmopolitan UK earlier this year, Blue pushed back at critics, suggesting that her stunts are a way of educating participants about sex. 'If I had a child, I'd be sending them to one of these events,' she said. 'I provide a safe, judgement-free environment with security-scanned ID and a breathalyser test. And [participants] are doing something good for society by putting an educational video out there. What part of that is dangerous?' Now, the platform on which she's made her name (and big bucks — specifically, an eye-watering $2.1 million per month) has thrown a spanner in her controversial success: OnlyFans has banned Bonnie Blue. Earlier this month, Blue promised to top her 1,000 men in a day feat: announcing a stunt she called the 'Bonnie Blue petting zoo' which would allow members of the public to touch her, or have intercourse with her, while she was tied up in a glass box. The challenge was due to take place tomorrow (15 June), but has since been cancelled due to online outrage. And this time, the controversy has caught the attention of OnlyFans, who've shut down Blue's account. When we reached out for comment, an OnlyFans spokesperson told Cosmopolitan UK: 'Extreme 'challenge' content is not available on OnlyFans and is not permitted under our Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service. Any breach of our Terms of Service results in content or account deactivation.' According to The Metro, a contact at the platform also confirmed that the ban was 'permanent'. Cosmopolitan UK can confirm that when attempting to access Bonnie Blue's two OnlyFans accounts ( and both pages have been taken down. Blue has not yet made any statement on social media or to the press, but she has updated the link in her Instagram bio so that it directs to her Fansly account, where she began posting on 11 June. Fansly is an alternative, subscription-based platform to OnlyFans, and her page currently stands at 5.5k followers, which is a huge dip from the 300,000 OnlyFans followers she had earlier in 2025 – suggesting her income has taken a major hit. Blue — alongside the OnlyFans creator Lily Philips, who embarked on her own challenge to sleep with 100 men in a day — has been the subject of plenty of column inches, which paint her online presence as a cause, rather than a symptom, of misogyny and sexism. However, while there is plenty of spirited online discourse about Blue from those outside the sex industry, what do other online sex workers think? So far, Blue has been criticised by Sophie Rain, the creator of the popular OnlyFans collective Bop House, who said: 'It's no longer women empowerment. It's shock value, and she's making a joke out of all of us.' Regardless of individuals' personal feelings around Blue, the ban has taken place amid a time of uncertainty for OnlyFans creators. It was revealed in late May that the platform's owner, Fenix International, was in talks to be sold for $8 billion (£5.9 billion) to a consortium headed up by US investment firm Forest Road Company. Whenever a company is set to change hands, it raises questions about its future direction. However, with the increasing censorship of online pornography — which, in recent years, has seen the likes of Pornhub exit France and be blocked in multiple US states due to age verification controversies — the stakes could be even higher for OnlyFans NSFW content creators as they navigate uncertain territory. Now, speaking exclusively to Cosmopolitan UK, three OnlyFans creators and online sex workers weigh in with their opinions about the news of Blue's permanent ban. 'Anytime a performer loses access to their main source of income and primary platform, it's a sad day. Especially in 2025, when our payment processors and platforms are threatened by incoming censorship laws disguised as 'adult verification'. Bonnie is privileged that she is in an income bracket where she has support in place to protect herself in case of removal from one of her platforms. She also has the ability to use her network and brand name to spread the word that she was banned. Most models, who often get banned or reprimanded for much less, do not have those options. This means they're less likely to pivot easily via funnelling fans to new platforms or regaining account access due to press or protest. I think Bonnie [has made] the OnlyFans platform enough money that the choice to ban her is more about the OF brand image than anything else. I'm sure the press she's been acquiring for her 'extreme' sexual stunts is counterintuitive to the brand OnlyFans has been trying to reign in the past couple of years. The platform has been investing heavily into their safe-for-work avenues, like OFTV, so I'm guessing that factors into their decision making. Especially if the company plans on selling, taking on investors, or simply dealing with payment processors and banks.' 'Every respectable platform takes consent, privacy, and age verification very seriously. As OnlyFans creators we are all at risk if we violate their rules, and I suspect there were many rules violated with her type of content. I think her publicity stunts have probably put pressure onto OnlyFans and other similar platforms to enforce their rules more. Honestly as an older woman and mum, who had a full career before my success on OnlyFans, I feel bad for [Bonnie Blue]. Clearly I believe in a woman having the power to do what she wants — and in no way am shaming her, or anyone — but I don't see this ending well for her or the others that are competing to outdo each other with these extremes.' 'I'm not surprised [Bonnie Blue] has been banned; I could see it from a mile off. In my opinion, what she does is escorting ['escort' and 'escorting' are restricted words on OnlyFans, and the platform's terms of service discourage any mention of creators and fans meeting in person]. She's agreeing to meet these men to have intercourse and they are paying in consent to post on OnlyFans. OnlyFans is trying to sell their platform right now. If she's the poster girl for OnlyFans, it makes sense for her to be banned: she doesn't have much backing from the general public, except for sadistic men who have pent-up rage against women. It sucks because it's likely that any woman who has followed in her suit will get banned. You don't want people to lose their income, all of these girls have worked hard to get where they are. Bonnie has done some things that will change her for the rest of her life and it's unfortunate that she's losing what makes her thrive and survive. Bonnie, though, has taken rage baiting to the extreme, saying things like 'you need to expect [men are] going to go elsewhere if you aren't sleeping with them'. These are the repercussions if you're going to push boundaries like these in a society where women are so pushed down behind the scenes.' Cosmopolitan UK has reached out to Bonnie Blue for comment.

Why Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet Have Never Taken Part in Trooping the Colour

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have never taken part in Trooping the Colour Prince Harry and Meghan Markle last appeared at Trooping in 2022 but watched separately from the working royal family The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not been invited to the event since King Charles became monarch, reflecting ongoing family tensionsAs the royal family gathered to celebrate King Charles at this year's Trooping the Colour, a longstanding tradition marking the monarch's official birthday, two of his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, remained notably absent from the festivities. Trooping the Colour is a grand military parade held each summer in London, a tradition meant to honor the sovereign's official public birthday, which falls in November in King Charles' case. This year marks Charles' third Trooping since acceding to the throne in 2022 following Queen Elizabeth's death. While royals like Kate Middleton, Prince William and their three children — Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7 — were front and center at the 2025 event, their cousins, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, have never taken part in the annual tradition. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appeared together at Trooping in 2018 and 2019, but their son Archie, born just five weeks before the 2019 parade, was too young to join the festivities. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a scaled-back event in 2020 and 2021. Although Harry and Meghan returned for the 2022 Trooping — part of Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations — they watched separately from the working members of the royal family. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not join the Buckingham Palace balcony appearance as they were no longer senior working royals. When Charles became King, he discontinued the practice of inviting both working and non-working royals to the balcony. Princess Lilibet was born in 2021, after Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties and relocated to Montecito, California. Since then, the Sussex family has not been invited to Trooping the Colour. They missed the 2023 event, King Charles' first as monarch, and again were absent from the 2024 and 2025 celebrations. In a recent BBC interview after his legal appeal was unsuccessful against a government decision that stripped him of automatic police protection in the U.K., Prince Harry expressed doubts about ever bringing his wife and children back to his home country. 'I can't see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the U.K. at this point,' he said, lamenting that his children will miss out on experiencing their British heritage firsthand. 'The things that they're going to miss is, well, everything,' Harry continued. 'I love my country. I always have done. Despite what some people in that country have done." He added, "I miss the U.K., I miss parts of the U.K., of course I do. I think that it's really quite sad that I won't be able to show my children my homeland." Though Prince Harry has made several brief visits to the U.K. without his family since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, his relationship with King Charles remains strained. The Duke of Sussex has publicly expressed a desire for reconciliation with his father and brother, Prince William, but noted the ongoing security dispute has made communication difficult. Can't get enough of PEOPLE's Royals coverage? to get the latest updates on Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and more! "There's no point in continuing to fight anymore," he said. "Life is precious. I don't know how much longer my father has. He won't speak to me because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile." Read the original article on People

OnlyFans' Sophie Rain reveals her 2025 earnings, virginity

She's playing hard to get — and still getting millions. OnlyFans star Sophie Rain revealed to The Post that she's already bagged around $23 million this year — despite refusing to fulfill her fans' most popular fantasy. 'My number one most requested is making content with a man. But I've never made content with a guy and I never will. Honestly, I don't want to do that,' said Rain, 22, a devout Christian who grew up attending mass every Sunday. The brunette beauty, who's in the top 0.01 percent of earners on the sultry subscription site — where she doesn't do nudity, but 'lingerie-bikini level suggestive teasing' instead — does appease her fans when it comes to her second-most sought after video. 'I mean, it's kind of weird, but just videos of me walking around, doing my makeup, just random videos of me doing stuff,' she said. 5 Sophie Rain, a devout Christian, is saving herself for marriage. Sophie Rain/ Instagram The Miami native, who grew up on food stamps, started her OnlyFans account in May 2023 after losing her minimum wage waitressing gig — and in 2024 alone, made $43 million. The hefty sum does not take into account the 20% commission the site takes, she said. 'Yes, they do, unfortunately. This is before anything,' explained Rain, who also has 11.9 million followers on TikTok. 5 Rain, 22, started her OnlyFans account in May 2023, and in 2024 alone, made $43 million. Sophie Rain/ Instagram Her biggest tipper is a man named Charley, who showered her with more than $4.7 million in 11 months, she revealed in December. The big-pocketed superfan is still her most generous client, and has gifted her a total of $5 million dollars to date. 'We pretty much talk almost every single day. It's really just about random stuff half the time, like what I'm doing or what he's doing that day,' she explained. 'But we don't ever get on a personal level. I don't know how old he is. I do know that he has a wife though.' 5 The Miami native said her busiest times on OnlyFans are 'definitely the weekends … and then the holidays at the end of the year, like during Christmas and New Year's.' Sophie Rain/ Instagram The 'craziest fan interaction' she's ever had involved a delusional man who broke into her Airbnb. 'He was looking for me because he genuinely thought that we were married,' she recalled. 'He went to court and everything. He was mentally deranged, they ruled. That was definitely very scary.' Although she was not willing to disclose which celebrities subscribe to her page, she did gush over an A-lister's DM she was most 'proud' to receive. 'Drake has DM'd me. We had a conversation … I asked if he was ever coming to Miami, if he ever just wanted to do something randomly, like go out to dinner or something. But he never answered back.' 5 Her biggest tipper has gifted her a total of $5 million dollars. Sophie Rain/ Instagram As for her future plans, Rain — who used her OnlyFans earnings to buy a $2.7-million mansion for herself in Tampa — wants to turn her sprawling property into a farm when she eventually retires. 'At my place that I'm currently at, I have 20 acres. I want to have a giant farm and just retire and just take care of all my animals. I'm already trying to start building my farm. I have two cows now, but I'm eventually gonna get 10.' 5 When she retires, Rain wants to turn her 20-acre Tampa home into a farm. Sophie Rain/ Instagram Rain confirmed she is still a virgin. 'Yes, I am. I'm waiting until marriage, that's why … I'm single right now,' she said. Her fame makes it difficult to meet Mr. Right. 'It is very hard to date because a lot of people know me … obviously, but I'm just waiting for the right one to come along who doesn't know who I am and maybe we'll hit it off.'
