Victoria Sinis, who managed an OnlyFans agency in Australia, has detailed her departure from the industry after finding Christian faith. She now speaks to parents and children about what she views as the dangers of the adult industry, describing her past work as a "lie" of sexual liberation.
Sinis told Fox News Digital that her work in the industry, which began during the pandemic to improve her finances, exposed her to the exploitation of young women's bodies. "We paint [sexual liberation] as freedom, but it’s actually the thing that’s crushing us… It is actually the thing that's destroying you," she said.
She believes that platforms like OnlyFans are particularly destructive to men, creating a multi-billion dollar industry that targets their vulnerabilities. "And in return, it is heightening their loneliness, their depressions, their anxiety, their disconnectedness, their struggles with being able to build healthy relationships," Sinis stated. She added that encouraging such platforms harms men as much as women.
Sinis recounted that a visit to her childhood church led to a sermon that reconnected her with her Christian faith and prompted her to leave the industry. She now travels internationally to share her experiences.
According to Sinis, social media plays a significant role in glamorizing lifestyles that can lead young people to idolize careers on platforms like OnlyFans. She expressed concern that parents are often unaware of the influences affecting their children online. "If they have a phone, if they have a laptop… they're going to be influenced by those things unless values are instilled within them that help them to understand that what they're seeing online is not real," Sinis explained.
She shared an anecdote about two 15-year-old girls who admired an OnlyFans influencer for her perceived happiness and ability to travel, associating these qualities solely with the platform. Sinis emphasized that the struggles faced by women in the OnlyFans industry are comparable to those in other sectors of the sex industry.
An OnlyFans spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the platform was designed to empower creators and that individual creators control their content. The spokesperson noted that over $30 billion has been paid to creators globally since the platform's inception, with over $6 billion paid out in 2025.
