Not sure if there is already a thread about her. I hadn’t heard of her before today so for those of you who might not know, she is a 22-year-old Disney star with an estimated net worth of $5-12m. She is in the news because she has recently joined the website Onlyfans, on which people can sell their own adult entertainment, and has already made over $2m from selling “nudes” of herself (in which she wasn’t actually nude) to subscribers. She initially claimed she was researching a film role with a certain director (Sean Baker) but he has since said that this was a lie.
I have so many questions about this, the first one being WHY??? Why would a young woman who is already rich, famous and successful feel the need to do this?
I’m also confused about parts of Sean Baker’s statement in which he described himself as a sex worker “ally” who seeks to “normalise” their “lifestyles”. What does it mean to be an ally to sex workers? Can sex work really be considered a lifestyle? Should it be normalised? Is this just another example of American/liberal feminism being sort of at odds to feminism almost everywhere else?
Interested in other people’s thoughts.
