OnlyFans Sued After Two Guys Realized They Might Not Actually Be Talking to Models | A class action complaint claims OnlyFans is allowing fraud on its platform by letting models use agency chat service to talk to fans


A class action complaint claims OnlyFans is allowing fraud on its platform by letting models use agency chat service to talk to fans.

Two former OnlyFans subscribers are suing the platform in a class-action lawsuit, claiming that they were defrauded because creators allegedly weren’t interacting directly with them, but were instead employing agencies to “impersonate” the models they thought they were speaking to. The plaintiffs, M. Brunner and J. Fry, both from Illinois, claim that they thought the creators they subscribed to—some of whom have hundreds of thousands of subscribers—were talking to them in direct messages and video clips. “By exercising its discretion to enrich itself while participating in the deception of its customers, OnlyFans consciously and deliberately frustrates the agreed common purposes of the contract and disappoints the reasonable expectations of Plaintiffs and Class Members, thereby depriving them of the benefit of their bargain,” the complaint states.
