OnlyFans personalities Annie Knight and Lily Phillips have responded to allegations that their high-profile stunts have harmed the image of sex workers.
“Honestly, I was extremely confused by the confrontation because I disagree wholeheartedly,” Knight, 29, stated in a press release on Monday, June 15. This comment followed a discussion about sex stunts on an episode of the Australian reality show Turned On: Dirty Sexy Money on the streaming platform Stan.
Knight added, “I think until the stunt girls started getting attention, no one really cared about OnlyFans girls. I think we’ve done a lot to make society much more accepting of us.”
As an adult content creator, Knight has achieved a seven-figure income through viral stunts, including a particularly notable challenge in May 2025, where she reportedly engaged with 583 men in six hours. Her earnings from OnlyFans enabled her to buy a multimillion-dollar mansion with her fiancé, Henry Brayshaw.
Although Knight has mostly moved away from stunt work, she remains a strong advocate for adult content creators in the realm of reality TV.
“I think there’s a very obvious ‘whore-archy,’” Knight remarked on Monday. “Sex workers love to judge fellow sex workers based on what type of sex work they’re doing. Despite the fact we’re all in the same industry and should be supporting each other, some people choose to tear each other down.”
Stunt work has become a well-known aspect of OnlyFans, with creators like Phillips, 24, and Bonnie Blue making news with their extreme sex challenges. In January 2025, Blue, 27, completed a world record by having sex with 1,057 men in 12 hours. Phillips claims to have surpassed this feat, having sex with 1,113 men in 12 hours.
Despite the attention and financial success these stunts have brought to creators, OnlyFans has decided to prohibit this type of content.
“Extreme ‘challenge’ content is not available on OnlyFans and is not permitted under our Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service,” a spokesperson told Us Weekly. “Any breach of our Terms of Service results in content or account deactivation.”
Some OnlyFans creators have criticized stunt creators. Sophie Rain previously remarked to Us that stunt work has led to OnlyFans creators not being taken seriously.
“I’m tired of having to explain that not all of us are doing circus acts for clicks,” she stated. “I would really like to know who is running [Blue’s] clown show. There are thousands of women making real money and supporting themselves through this.”
According to Knight, she and other stunt creators have worked diligently over the past three years to gain the attention they have, which has brought visibility to OnlyFans.
“Three years ago, not many people really knew what OnlyFans was. No media outlet, television network or streaming service would have touched the industry with a ten-foot pole,” she shared on Monday. “Now OnlyFans models are featured in media outlets every day, there are documentaries being commissioned, and obviously, there’s our new reality TV show on Stan. These are all things that would never have happened without the work that Lily and I have put in.”
Knight also argued, “You cannot fight for women’s equality and freedom and then try to take it away when a woman is trying to live a free and equal life.”
Phillips also addressed the criticism directed at her and Knight.
“I think the reason some people struggle to separate their own preferences from other people’s choices is because they assume their values are universal. If something feels degrading, risky, exploitative, exciting or acceptable to them, it can be difficult to imagine that somebody else experiences it differently,” she commented.
Phillips added, “I think consenting adults should generally be free to decide what content they create. That’s the beauty of this industry and one of the things I love most about it. It’s all about choice — you have the power to decide what you want to do with your own body and your own platform.”
