The outrage at Bella Thorne seems misguided... After all, she did not change the policies, only fans did. Did her actions increase only fans timelines for these changes? Maybe. But at the end of the day, I don't think that justifies the outrage Bella Thorne is receiving over this. Am I missing some action that she took that should justify the outrage: for instance, Bella meeting with only fans to demand that the maximum allowed tip be reduced?

I thought the issue was fraud: she charged for nudes but delivered non-nude photos.

That was certainly fraud and a bad thing, yes.

But some reports say OnlyFans has been planning these changes for some time - and by rolling them out now, they can make Bella Thorne take the heat instead of taking it themselves.

After my first review of this situation, I agreed with your assessment but apparently she has not been very pro sex-worker while building off of the services that they have grown. It's still very difficult to find good info on this situation, because its all twitter and insta posts without a good paper trail.

I too have been having issues with finding good info on this situation. Hopefully something will come to light that provides a little more explanation as to the anger directed at Bella. :shrug: I would not be surprised if this is just being blown up in the media because it involves sex workers which is sure to peak readers interest.

Looking at Twitter, a lot of them are angry with her because she has actually be able to have a dialogue with OnlyFans and they have been unable to get anything more than canned messages.

The fallout from this is not unexpected, and neither is the Schadenfreude from it.
