'Teen Wolf' star Tyler Posey is getting praise for joining OnlyFans with a nude musical performance
- "Teen Wolf" actor Tyler Posey joined OnlyFans on Monday, posting a naked musical performance on his page.
- Posey is the latest celebrity to join the subscription-based streaming platform, along with stars like Cardi B, Ruby Rose, and Bella Thorne.
- Some fans were ecstatic, but others have expressed frustration on Twitter that Posey is receiving praise when celebrities like Thorne were criticized for "gentrifying" the platform.
"Teen Wolf" star Tyler Posey announced Monday that he has joined the OnlyFans, a subscription-based platform known for its erotic content — posting a nude musical performance as his debut.
Posey shared a preview of the performance on Twitter with the caption: "I did it. Join me ;)"
"I noticed many of my fans commenting on my Instagram photos saying that I should join OnlyFans," Posey said in a statement to Pride. "I saw it as a really cool opportunity to get even closer with my fans and be more real with them."
On Twitter, some fans rejoiced at the chance to see X-rated content from Posey.
Others, however, took issue with yet another celebrity joining the site that is a rare lifeline for sex workers during the pandemic, but is becoming increasingly difficult to earn money on as famous faces pour in and draw attention.
As more celebrities are joining OnlyFans, sex workers say their incomes are in jeopardy
Posey is the latest in a string of celebrities to join the platform, including Cardi B, Blac Chyna, and Bella Thorne. The site blew up after Beyoncé mentioned the platform in her verse on Megan Thee Stallions "Savage" remix in May, but had been known for hosting a number of successful sex workers prior to then.
When Thorne joined the platform in August, making $2 million in less than a week, sex workers already relying on the platform to pay their bills fired back at celebrities for "gentrifying" the space, earning money as lesser-known creators struggled.
Soon after Thorne made her million, OnlyFans set a limit on how much creators could earn with the tip feature and pay per view feature, significantly impacting the income of erotic creators.
While OnlyFans told Insider the limits have nothing to do with Thorne, sex workers and supporters were left with a sour taste for celebrities who join the platform.
Posey got praise that other celebrities didn't
Thorne received plenty of backlash on Twitter after joining OnlyFans, but Posey has had more of a mixed response.
Some Twitter users said the stark difference in Posey's reception compared to Thorne is hypocritical.
