• Kate Nash and other celebrities like Iggy Azalea and Kerry Katona cite financial stability and personal empowerment as reasons for joining OnlyFans.
• Studies reveal alarming trends tied to the platform, including pornography addiction among youth, its role in modern slavery, low self-esteem and societal values.
Singer Kate Nash announced last Thursday that her income from OnlyFans will be used to subsidise her live performances, stating that “touring makes losses, not profits.”
‘I also think it’s a bit of a punk protest as a woman to take control of my body and sell it to be able to fund my passion project, which is actually my 18-year career,” she said. “I want to highlight that, and I want people to talk about it, and I want people to know the truth about what’s happening in the music business’. ‘I’m losing money from the tours. The only way I could find to make a profit on the tour—you’re either going, hopefully I sell enough T-shirts to cover the debt, or you cut people’s wages, or you fire band and crew, or you travel dangerously.’
Nash described her OnlyFans endeavour as a timely act of empowerment.
“It’s an important time for women to take control and to feel empowered,” she said.
Nash noted that she often shared photos of her posterior on social media anyway. She emphasised that the pictures she’s posted on OnlyFans so far are revealing but not explicit.
“Musicians Can Learn From Sex Workers”
On Instagram, she advised fans, “No need to stream my music, I’m good for the 0.003 of a penny per stream thanks.”
Nash continued regarding her views pertaining to OnlyFans:
“You’ve got all this control, and you’re deciding what you want to do and how you want to do it, and people want to pay you for it. We just haven’t taught any of those lessons to anyone with music and art—that art is so valuable and so worthwhile in our lives and so meaningful. We’re totally happy to devalue it.”
She concluded with a challenge to the industry to rethink its approach:
“Where can we learn from the sex workers? Maybe we can learn something from this industry. How do we get empowered as artists and take a bit more control?”
Other Female Celebs on Joining the Explicit Platform
On the “High Low With EmRata” podcast, Iggy Azalea spoke about the matter in February:
“I’ve made record labels so much money off my body. I’ve made a lot of people so much money off my body, and I got the smallest cut off my own f— body, and my own work, and my own ideas,” she said. “I don’t think that I have to say sorry that I want to commodify my own s—. It’s been commodified, and I wasn’t even the main f— benefactor of it.”
In October Azalea decided to cancel her OnlyFans account due to being able to make more money on Telegram. It’s important to note, Azalea was pocketing £7m a month on OnlyFans.
Former Atomic Kittens bandmate Kerry Katona vows to continue OnlyFans despite her children being bullied at School
The mother-of-five, aged 44, turned to the X-rated subscription site in 2020 to “boost her finances”.
Speaking to New magazine, Kerry said: ‘
‘All of my children have had a tough time, but Max perhaps a bit more than the others because of who I am. 'I do feel guilty that my kids get stick, but I wouldn't stop doing OnlyFans I was famous before I started it and OnlyFans is just one of the many jobs I do – and I do it for my kids. 'They have everything they could ever want and it pays for this lifestyle. All I can do is make sure my kids know how much I love them – and they do.'
Katona has previously revealed she has earned more than a million pounds from OnlyFans.
The former singer and television personality has previously hit out at critics of her OnlyFans ‘career,’ saying it’s no different to Hollywood stars who film sex scenes for movies.
Cardi B states how she has no regrets with being an ex-stripper and those who judge her should stop as she makes more money than them. “Not only did I want to make money but I wanted them to sing my sh*t”. In an interview with BuzzFeed she said how stripping made her feel confident and sexy and provided her with necessary skills to be successful.
Self-objectification is the antithesis of empowerment
Self-objectification, where women reduce themselves to mere objects of others’ desire, is the antithesis of empowerment. Far from fostering strength or autonomy, it chains women to the very societal standards that devalue them, stripping away their dignity and individuality. True empowerment comes from owning one’s identity, worth, and purpose in life— not conforming to a narrative that commodifies the female body for external approval or profit.
OnlyFans being Accessed by Children
In a report published by the BBC, it was found that subscription accounts were being made by children as young as 10. In May 2024, Ofcom opened an investigation into whether OnlyFans is doing enough to prevent children accessing pornography on its site.
A 2023 survey of 2,419 secondary schools students aged fourteen to eighteen across South West Hertfordshire found that one in ten reported an addiction to pornography, one in five admitted to habitual use, and one in ten had viewed such content by age nine.
OnlyFans is “Fuelling Sexual Exploitation and Modern Slavery” study concludes
Troubling new research has emerged regarding ‘e-pimping’ on the OnlyFans platform. This study was conducted by a Dutch organisation that specialises in digital forensics.
Dr Rebecca Stevenson, a Policy Officer at CARE, comments:
“This research adds to a growing body of evidence showing that OnlyFans is being used by criminals to exploit women. Expert analysis has highlighted ‘e-pimping’ and women forced into situations that would be categorised as modern slavery.
Materialism and Greed
Considering that the aforementioned celebrities have cited financial gain as a primary motivator for commodifying their bodies and souls, let us examine what research suggests about money as a driving force behind such life choices.
Researchers from the University of Michigan and the University of Minneapolis analysed three longitudinal studies on the effects of materialism, one of which spanned over a decade. Their findings suggested that participants who exhibited higher levels of materialism tended to struggle with insecurity and low self-esteem. These individuals also reported a decline in the satisfaction of their psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness.
A study conducted by the University of Rochester found how a craving for money and adoration often fosters a preoccupation with upward social comparisons, which in turn engender feelings of inadequacy and jealousy. Unlike the enduring benefits of meaningful relationships and hard-earned skills, the gratification derived from extrinsic achievements, such as fame, is fleeting. The study argues that attaining materialistic milestones can contribute to diminished well-being, as individuals experience increased negative emotions, including shame and anger, as well as physical symptoms of anxiety, such as headaches, stomachaches, and fatigue. The researchers concluded that individuals who value personal growth, close relationships and community involvement, were more satisfied as they experienced a deeper sense of well-being.
Interestingly, a study of tweens and teens conducted by Very Well Family, titled ‘How Materialistic is your Teen,’ found that children of emotionally unsupportive parents exhibited higher levels of materialism compared to those with supportive parents. Support, in this context, refers to a parent’s ability to engage in open communication, offer encouragement, and be present for their child during both positive and challenging times. Supportive parenting has been shown to boost adolescents’ self-esteem. When a child’s self-esteem is elevated, they are less likely to seek happiness or a sense of worth through material possessions.
How Consuming such Content is affecting Society and the Institution of Marriage
Researchers Explored Pornography’s Effect On Long-Term Relationships. They concluded that married men and women who watch pornography are more likely to get divorced than men and women who do not.
OnlyFans is owned by a Jewish Zionist
In case you were unaware, Leonid Radvinsky is the owner of OnlyFans. He is a Jewish Zionist who has committed a staggering $11 million to AIPAC. This was confirmed by an internal donors list. AIPAC reported a $90 million fundraising success post-October 7th, with the largest donation of $11 million attributed to Radvinsky.
Furthermore, all major pornographic websites are owned by Jewish Zionists.
Reflections
Viewing such grotesquely immoral content will only violate one’s soul and rob a person of their righteousness:
“Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what they do (Surah An-Nur, 24:30)
“And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof…” (Surah An-Nur, 24:31)
Here we see how the principles of modesty and guarding private parts apply to both men and women in Islam, with the promise of reward in Jannah for obedience to Allah’s commands.
“On that Day, their tongues, their hands, and their feet will testify against them as to what they used to do.” (Surah An-Nur (24:24)
On the Day of Judgment, we will be held accountable for how we used our bodies, which were entrusted to us as an amanah (a sacred trust by Allah). This accountability extends not only to those who sell their bodies under the guise of so-called female empowerment but also to those who use their eyes to consume such filth. In doing do, they contribute to the widespread moral degradation of society.
In my discussions with many Muslim youth, it’s evident that addiction to pornography is a pressing issue. My advice as your brother, is to earnestly make dua to Allah for guidance and strength, while acknowledging the seriousness of this issue and taking proactive steps to address it. Consider practical measures, such as using a basic Nokia phone to block access. Take whatever steps are necessary in shaa Allah. May Allah make it easy for you.
