One of my direct reports is on onlyfans

[andreee]

I am so conflicted about what to do about this but one of the people I manage (a girl in her early 20s) does onlyfans and has a public p0rn Twitter account. Another colleague told me that they found her TikTok through her phone number, and the TikTok links to the Twitter page with the explicit videos, and that links to the onlyfans. The Twitter isn’t even under a pseudonym, it’s her nickname that she uses at work!

The issue isn’t that she has onlyfans as much as the fact that she is using her real life nickname and there are videos of her on a public Twitter account using various toys on herself with her face clearly visible! She has also posted a photo of her hand where she is clearly at her work desk at our office, asking her ‘fans’ to pay for her nails.

AIBU to even think about taking this higher up? My gut instinct was to say nothing and not get involved but if she is this blasé about it then a client might find out. We work in a field where public image matters and staff photos are on the website.

I think you need to take advice from HR. If a colleague has found this, others will too and probably clients.

Have you posted this before? I’m sure I read a similar post recently.

Sorry posted too soon - I would speak to HR for guidance

It depends on your work policies. The picture of her hand at work would be a no no. If you are public services, then it's usually not allowed to work in the adult industry. I'd have a talk with her first.

Your colleague sounds like a stalker.

They found her TikTok through her (I assume) private phone number which led to Twitter which led to OnlyFans?

I get anxious with that many windows open.

I'm not sure how much you can really do? If she were doing it during work time, sure, but what she does outside of work isn't any of your business - as long as it's legal.

This was literally posted earlier this week. Have you decided what you're going to do?

Another workplace and manager that thinks they own the life of their employees

I’m sure I’ve read this exact thing before.

She probably wouldn’t have to go on there if she was paid a decent wage!
I don’t think you should do anything OP, unless it’s affecting her performance at work?

That's normal internet curiosity surely not stalking or at least amongst my circle that would be considered normal

Looking at information that someone puts out there literally for the purpose of directing people to an only fans account is anything but stalking.

I think you need to run it past the HR department, if there's nothing in employment contracts it's something they need to add

I would raise this to HR and go with whatever direction they steer you in. Where I work 100% this wouldnt be acceptable.

Different poster! The hand thing happened literally only yesterday

It's not normal curiosity if they're searching her phone number.

Her name? Yeah, I get that. But not her number or face.

There are some terrifying facial recognition sites.

Stay well away, from both the website, the subject and the trouble making colleague and unless a client brings it up stay away.

I have nothing against women doing their own thing to make money (women, not girls) away from work. Each to their own an all that. Posting from her desk asking fans for money is crossing the line, taking the piss and bring the company into it.

I agree. Go to HR. Totally unacceptable using a picture taken at work ffs.

If there's nothing in employment contracts it's something they need to add.

Why though? She isn't breaking the law, and isn't doing this during work time.

Sounds like a fantasy 🙄

It literally says in the OP that she used a photo taken at work.

She is, she’s posting things on the Twitter account during work hours and a photo of her hand where it’s clear she’s sat at her desk

If they’ve got the OF girl in their contacts then TikTok may have recommended her account as someone the colleague knows, rather than the colleague actively searching her up. I’ve got it switched off on mine so it doesn’t recommend me to my contacts.

Oh no, a picture of her hand? hope you didn’t faint too hard

It's a photo of her hand. Shes hardly taking dirty pics in the toilets.

Mind your own business op.
