OnlyFans earnings frozen for Russian porn stars

Several adult entertainers in Russia have had their OnlyFans earnings frozen due to financial sanctions imposed upon the country following its invasion of Ukraine.

The creators spoke out on Sunday after they were unable to share new videos and access money earned via their OnlyFans accounts.

One user who goes by the name ‘Bunnie Mommy’ claimed she lost over $8,000 USD amid the ban.

“In short term, I don’t have money to live… Many models [are] faced with this, nobody thought it could happen,” she said.

In a statement on Sunday, OnlyFans said; “While creators are not responsible for the recent attacks on Ukraine, due to worldwide financial restrictions we have very limited methods to pay Creator accounts linked to Russia and Belarus. As a result, payments have been limited.”

The company further stated that “new subscriptions will not be accepted and current subscriptions will not renew once they have expired” until Russian sanctions are lifted.

However, on Monday, OnlyFans confirmed they have been able to restore account activity for creators in all countries, bringing relief for many of its affected creators.

‘Bunnie Mommy’ emphasised that it was unfair to penalise Russian content creators over a war they did not support.

“Blocking bank accounts of peaceful Russian people, blocking working pages and freezing income won’t help Ukraine,” she declared. “[We] are humans, who really wish peaceful sky under Ukraine and want to help as much as we can.”

OnlyFans in a statement said, “We were not terminating or suspending any creator accounts based on the creator’s location, and we are doing everything we can to support our community.”

On Monday, the UN said at least 102 civilians have been killed in Ukraine since Russia launched its invasion five days ago.
