Los Angeles Police Department officers were observed dancing and interacting with OnlyFans creators outside a controversial Encino content house following a reported swatting incident at the property. The encounter has fueled ongoing disputes between residents and the occupants of the multimillion-dollar home.
According to reports, images obtained showed officers dancing with and pretending to arrest some of the creators. Captain Brian Wendling, who leads the LAPD’s West Valley Division, stated that the incident involving the officers had been "handled" but declined to provide further details on any actions taken against the officers. Wendling also noted that the department had received only one complaint about the property this year, suggesting it was not a high priority.
The viral footage emerged in April after neighbors reported a swatting incident, a type of harassment where false reports are made to emergency services. Neighbors described seeing helicopters and numerous police officers with weapons drawn surrounding the house after receiving alerts that someone was being held at gunpoint inside.
One neighbor, who requested anonymity due to fears of legal retaliation, told The California Post that residents later learned the incident was a swatting call involving an influencer. "What bothered me was that shortly afterward there were social media posts showing models interacting with officers, dancing in the street and posing," the neighbor stated, adding that residents were concerned about their safety and unable to move freely through the area during the police response.
Residents have expressed long-standing frustration with the property, which they allege has been converted into an illegal commercial content-production hub in a residential neighborhood. According to neighbors, the home features various setups for filming, including a converted garage gym and a podcast studio. The constant stream of strangers and filming in revealing clothing, even behind gates, has disturbed the family-oriented neighborhood.
"From what I can tell, the entire house has essentially been converted into content-production space," a resident said. "The garage has been turned into a gym for shoots. There appears to be a podcast studio. It looks like different rooms have been designed for different kinds of content."
Neighbors insist their concerns are not about the nature of adult content but about the alleged operation of an unpermitted business in a residential zone. The dispute escalated to the point where residents hired an attorney and sent a cease-and-desist letter. One resident reported being threatened with legal action by the property's attorney after being accused of organizing the complaints, an accusation she denied.
The situation has left residents concerned about safety, property values, and the overall impact on their neighborhood. "Our concern is that they’re making millions of dollars from a property that has negatively affected our neighborhood," a neighbor told The Post.
