Creators Bring a Group Claim in England Against 'Exploitative' OnlyFans Managers
According to Law360 on October 7, 2026, a group claim is being brought in England against third-party managers accused of being exploitative toward OnlyFans creators.
What happened
- The claim follows a BBC investigation published in June, which looked at around 60 creators and found management contracts taking up to 70% of their earnings.
- The BBC also reported on a Telegram group called OFM Empire, with around 24,000 members, where such management practices are shared.
- OnlyFans says it is not connected with these agencies.
What it means for you as a fan
When an agency takes 70%, a large part of your tip never reaches the woman you are paying. Agencies also often run the chats. You cannot see a creator's contract, but you can favour creators who clearly manage their own accounts and reply in a consistent, personal way. Our guide to agency red flags explains what to watch for.
