Bella Thorne signed up on this adult website, made $2M and ruined it for everyone

Bella Thorne is not out there making friends in the adult entertainment industry right now.

The singer-actress faced backlash last week after she joined racy website OnlyFans; her appearance made the whole thing practically crash and burn.

The problem? Thorne didn’t show the right amount of skin, and subscribers weren’t happy. For the $2 million gig, the people expected more than a PG-13 lingerie shot.

Even sex workers were offended that Thorne didn’t appear in her birthday suit, instead “selling a $200 lingerie photo saying it was a nude,” raged sex worker @FabianaFox_ on Twitter.

Many who legit strip down to nothing for a living were livid that she’s taking money away from their jobs on this London-based content subscription service.

If Thorne’s lack of sexy content wasn’t offensive enough, OnlyFans also announced new changes after her tourist stop, for example limiting tips on “performances” to $100 and slowing down payment to “employees.”

Fox’s hardcore colleague Iona Rae wrote to her fans, “For actual T–s and A– check out a REAL sex worker,” and added a NSFW booty shaking shot.

“You scammed people, which in return made us look like scammers and not the hard working people we are,” responded another adult entertainer to the Pembroke Pines native’s post.

Thorne is super sorry that some folks in the adult industry are upset.

“I hurt you and for that I’m truly sorry,” Tweeted the former Disney star over the weekend, one of many posts.

Her explanation: “I wanted to bring attention to the site, the more people on the site the more likely of a chance to normalize the stigmas.”

Many don’t buy her apology and think it’s to just cover her own, barely exposed you know what.

Wrote Salem Knightley in a Twitter thread which pretty much summed up the situation: “We are SICK of celebrities acting like they’re doing us an extreme favor by stepping into spaces we didn’t want them to exist in then demanding we be grateful.”

OnlyFans said in a statement to The New York Post that the changes were of a financial nature, “to help prevent overspending.”
