A prominent agency that manages accounts for OnlyFans creators has been accused of having its employees catfish fans by reading and replying to messages meant for creators. According to a report by Insider, fans who thought they were talking to models managed by Unruly Agency would confess their sexual preferences, but the person on the other end may have actually been an employee of the agency.
The report states that Unruly Agency handles accounts for popular OnlyFans. According to employees, they also help models deal with fans who want to talk to them, and who are often willing to pay for that privilege, as well as helping them schedule photo shoots and manage posts. Insider says that this leads to Unruly's employees writing for models.
They heard about fans failing marriages.
Sometimes they are seeing and responding to incredibly intimate messages, fans who think they are talking to someone who they have seen naked, will talk about what turns them on or their failing marriages. Fans send messages to each other because they think someone they know will read it and respond.
According to Insider, this type of deception is a grey area when it comes to the terms of service of OnlyFans.
Some creators have accused the company of posting nudes that they didn't want the public to see.
Unruly is facing allegations that it mistreated its employees. The nude photos that the company or other agencies posted to their public feed were not theirs to keep, according to multiple creators. One lawsuit brought by former employees accuses the company of wage theft and retaliatory firing and reiterates the claims that managers were told to lie about being the fans. The lawsuit can be read here.
The creator told the website that people from the company said the terms wouldn't be enforced and that they were just in there because of the lawyer. She said that she would have never imagined that Behave Agency had such a large company. The creator said that Behave changed the banking details on her OnlyFans account so that the money went to the company instead of her.
There are precedents for many of the elements of this story. The adult entertainment industry has a reputation for exploiting and abusing workers, and there is a long history of online content creators feeling as if they have been treated unfairly by management platforms. We have seen lawsuits and analysis of hacked data from the extramarital dating website, as well as accusations of corporate catfishing. The company created fake profiles that would send messages to men.
