Bella announced the move with a video on Instagram, telling fans: ‘Excuse me, I have an announcement.’ The video saw the star posing in a bikini, while wearing a diamond-encrusted necklace reading ‘sex’.
OnlyFans commented: ‘Welcome to our OnlyFans family Bella 😊 We’re super excited you’re here’, while tennis star and model Adi Spiegelman wrote: ‘You are gonna be a millionaire.’ Well, that’s what Team Bella thinks anyway, with a press release for her newest venture claiming that ‘safe estimates [earn] Bella $1 million a month’. Not too shabby. You have to subscribe to Bella’s page to see the 17 photos and four videos she’s posted so far, but the star’s bio reads ‘I’m your b****’ and links to her Amazon wishlist, which is empty as of yet. It is unclear whether Bella will be sharing her poetry or music on OnlyFans as well, but she is no stranger to the world of adult content and sex positivity.
Last year, the pansexual star directed an erotic film for Pornhub called Her & Him, and said of the experience: ‘The process of shooting was quite interesting because we had real life f***ing on set which I had never shot before at all. It is quite a fun environment. ‘If you think that porn is uncomfortable, I’m sorry that you are uncomfortable, but don’t make other people feel uncomfortable for being okay with it.’ And last June, Bella ‘took the power back’ after being threatened by hackers by posting her own topless selfies to social media. She wrote: ‘For too long I let a man take advantage of me over and over and I’m f***ing sick of it, I’m putting this out because it’s MY DECISION NOW U DON’T GET TO TAKE YET ANOTHER THING FROM ME.
‘I can sleep tonight better knowing I took my power back. U can’t control my life u never will. ’Here’s the photos he’s been threatening me with, in other words here’s my boobies.’ Thorne is just the latest star to join OnlyFans, which was launched in 2016 and was primarily home to adult performers and models. Blac Chyna and Cardi B recently signed up, while UK stars like Kerry Katona and Danielle Lloyd have been posting their lingerie shoots to their pages. Bella shot to fame in the early 2010s in the role of CeCe Jones on Disney Channel’s Shake It Up, and has since appeared in films including Assassination Nation, The Babysitter and The DUFF. She also appeared on the third season of the US version of The Masked Singer.
