No payout for Russian OnlyFans Model (SWIFT)

London-based subscriber service OnlyFans is deleting the accounts of content creators in Russia and Belarus, according to some of the site's stars.

It is unclear whether the apparent changes are a political move or whether the new sanctions, (SWIFT) imposed on Russia after the invasion of Ukraine, have made it impossible for women to receive payments through the site. OnlyFans star @kitty, 21, said she has no income except what she earns through OnlyFans. "Right now I don't have money to buy food or pay my rent""I have participated in several protests since I moved to Moscow when I was 18 years old. We are not Putin! I pray for peace and the Ukrainian people."

A cosplay content creator who goes by the name kanra_cosplay posted a photo of a message that appears to show that OnlyFans deleted her account. "I woke up to this message from @onlyfans @OnlyFansSupport who decided to delete my account without warning," she wrote. "I had money there and I won't be able to live without them. Why are they doing this to normal people!!! They decided to ruin our lives?!

Another, tweeting under the name @_Black_way_, said she and other stars of the adult world were "hostages" and wrote: "I did not support this war, but I became its prisoner, like other artists from Russia. Models, cosplayers, artists, Youtubers and others.

We've all been blocked on our platforms or can't get a salary from them just because we're Russian." She later added, "I'm from Russia. And I am an artist, not a military woman with weapons. I want to continue to make my art and make people around me happy, not fight."

Нет выплат для российской модели OnlyFans (SWIFT)

Several other content providers based in Belarus and Russia tweeted similar complaints. One person, who goes by the name Shirogane-sama, tweeted that she was actually protesting her government. "While I participate in protests and do my best to help my Ukrainian friends, @onlyfans without warning just deprives me of all my income I earned to live in a country with a government I didn't vote for," she tweeted. "On what basis are you embezzling my fans' money?" she later tweeted. "If you violate your own duties and rules and do this to me, are other models safe?"

After the UK agreed to exclude Russia from the SWIFT network, it has become difficult to process payments to people living in Russia. Belarus is not yet excluded from the SWIFT network, but many of those affected are tax registered in Russia.

The apparent ban also affected stars from Belarus, including a cosplay star named Evenink_cosplay, who wrote:

"Thank you Onlyfans for banning me, a girl from Belarus, from your platform. Now I lost my job, can't buy food and pay rent.

"Meanwhile, people who really participate in the war have no problems, but models and cosplayers can't work and get no income. Thank you for these 'real actions'."

TIKLEAK contacted OnlyFans for comment. Soon a response

• Kero @kerocchicosYeah, @OnlyFans not only froze retiring payouts to Russian creators (as their bank payouts don't work), BUT ALSO deleted their accounts without notice.
• This means all the money they had in their pages before is gone FOREVER. They kept their money.
  This is crazy!!
