Bella Thorne announced yesterday that she was launching an account on OnlyFans, the subscription-based platform that's popular among erotic content creators.
A subscription to Thorne's OnlyFans account costs $20 per month.
OnlyFans has come into the spotlight in recent months as many who lost their jobs during the pandemic turned to the platform to earn money.
Paper Magazine reported that in addition to sharing exclusive content on her channel, Thorne is also in talks to star in a documentary film about her experiences on the platform.
"OnlyFans is the first platform where I can fully control my image; without censorship, without judgment, and without being bullied online for being me," Thorne told Paper.
Thorne, who is 22 and first became known for her roles in Disney Channel shows like "Shake It Up," is far from the first celebrity to join the growing platform. As Insider's Canela López and Kat Tenbarge reported, 11 other celebrities, including Cardi B and Blac Chyna, have launched accounts on OnlyFans.

OnlyFans offers Thorne a space to share posts — text, images, and videos — with paying subscribers. Thorne's subscription costs $20 per month (or bundles of $60 for three months and $102 for six months). According to her press release, "safe estimates" predicts Thorne will earn approximately $1 million per month.
OnlyFans has grown in recent months and is increasingly popular among erotic content creators. Insider's Canela López reported that many people who lost their jobs during the pandemic have turned to OnlyFans as a source of additional income. After Beyoncé mentioned the platform in a lyric of Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage" remix, it saw a 15% spike in traffic, per The Daily Beast.
