So, apparently, Jessie Cave the actress most of us remember as Lavender Brown from the Harry Potter movies just got banned from a fan convention. The reason? Not because she said anything outrageous, not because she misbehaved, but because… she has an OnlyFans account. Yep. That’s it.
According to her, the content she posts there isn’t even what you’d expect from the stereotypical “adult” platform. No nudity, no wild shows just her, playing with her hair and posting lighthearted clips. Honestly, it sounds more like TikTok than anything scandalous. Still, the organizers decided she wasn’t “family-friendly” enough.
And here’s where it gets interesting: if Jessie Cave doing PG-13 hair play is off-limits, what does that say about the way people view OnlyFans and by extension, anyone working in the adult space?
The OnlyFans Label Problem
Let’s be real: OnlyFans has a reputation. The platform skyrocketed because of explicit content, and it still makes up most of what’s there. Around 80% of creators use it for adult entertainment. That number is huge but it also means there are hundreds of thousands of people who use it for other things. Fitness trainers, musicians, artists, cosplayers, even comedians.
The problem? Society tends to paint everyone with the same brush. If you’re on OnlyFans, people assume you must be doing porn. And for actors like Jessie Cave or escorts who use the platform to connect more personally with clients that label can stick unfairly.
Why Escorts (and Others) Use OnlyFans
For many sex workers, OnlyFans isn’t about being extreme it’s about control. You choose what you post, who sees it, and how much access people get. Instead of random leaks or stolen photos floating around, you get to set the boundaries.
-
Trust-building: Clients can see a bit of your personality and know you’re a real person.
-
Safety: It’s way safer than meeting someone straight away. You’re in charge of what you reveal.
-
Extra income: Let’s be honest, it’s also smart business. Why not diversify how you earn?
In Jessie Cave’s case, she’s not even in adult work, yet she’s still punished just for being on the platform. That stigma is exactly what escorts run into too people assume the worst, without even checking what’s actually happening.
The Double Standard Nobody Talks About
Here’s what makes the whole thing so frustrating: mainstream Hollywood has no problem showing actors in explicit sex scenes. Entire Netflix series are built on sex-driven storylines. Yet, if an actress posts something tame on OnlyFans, suddenly she’s “not appropriate” for a family event.
The truth? It’s not about the content at all. It’s about the platform’s reputation. Which says more about society’s hang-ups than it does about the people using it.
Moving Forward: Less Judgment, More Honesty
Whether you’re a celebrity like Jessie Cave, an escort using OnlyFans for business, or just someone experimenting with sharing online the key point is that it’s your choice. The platform itself isn’t the problem. The stigma is.
Instead of banning, shaming, or whispering about it, maybe it’s time we treat OnlyFans like what it actually is: a tool. What you do with it is up to you. Some people make millions, some just play with their hair. And honestly? Both should be fine.
