Sex Workers Made OnlyFans A Success, Celebrities Are Now Ruining It

We’ve got it all covered this week: book recommendations, drunk DMs, dating apps gone wrong and Brad Pitt HAS A GIRLFRIEND?! (who unfortunately isn’t either of us). Then it’s onto a discussion around splitting the bill - when women are still paid substantially less than men, is it anti-feminist of us to want a man to pay for the first date? Plus, paid subscription platform OnlyFans made its millions - 700 to be exact - from the sex workers who use its services, but now celebrities are getting involved - and seemingly ruining everything. After Bella Thorne signed up and promised nude photos to all of the 50,000 (!) people who paid $200 (!) to see them and then failed to deliver, OnlyFans changed its policies, leaving the sex workers who rely on it for their income - especially during a pandemic - out in the cold. We. Have. Questions. We also speak about the impact Chadwick Boseman, the 'Black Panther' star who died last week after a private battle with cancer, had on the Black community and Hollywood as a whole and why his death now, in 2020, hits harder.Recommendations:The Nickel Boys - Colson Whitehead (book)She Wants It - Jill Solloway (book)Transparent (show)The Sex Ed (podcast)Black Panther (film)Hot Girls Wanted (documentary)You can follow us on Instagram: @afterworkdrinkspodcast, @grceoneill, @isabelletruman, or join our closed Facebook group, After Work Drinks Podcast. If you’d like to show your support, please rate, review and subscribe and share AWD Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
