A former Perth-based OnlyFans star has closed her million-dollar spicy account and changed career paths — co-founding a new business helping other sex workers feel celebrated within the “taboo” industry.
Lucy Banks experienced significant challenges throughout her five years working as a creator on the app before deciding to make a change.
Although she claimed she had a positive experience as a top OF creator, she also experienced a dark side where family members and friends cut contact with her.
The single mum of two was keen on breaking down barriers and empowering other women in the industry, so she closed her account and co-founded Million Billion Media, the first PR and talent agency representing clients from the adult entertainment industry.
“As women, we’re always put in a position where we are compared to other women. There is so much pressure to look a certain way, be a certain size. The thing about being an OnlyFans creator, is that everyone has a type,” she said.
“When you put yourself out there, you will attract people who love your look and who shower you with compliments. It really made me realise that even though I may not look like other girls, I’m no less beautiful. Just different.”
Banks has since reconnected with family and now has a new circle of friends who respect her for who she is.
“And this is the same understanding and respect I want to show to Million Billion Media clients. We have around 15 incredible clients around Australia — all of whom are successful, extraordinary business owners and deserve the same respect and professional service as the entrepreneurs of any other type of business,” she said.
The former OF star said her goal is to provide exceptional publicity and talent service to clients in the adult industry who are not welcomed at other agencies in Australia.
“I am so proud to be leading the charge on female empowerment, and breaking down barriers in an otherwise taboo industry. The amazing viral media coverage our clients have received so far demonstrate we are well on the way to achieving our international goals.”
