The Harry Potter actress who ventured into OnlyFans as a means of addressing her financial struggles has disclosed some unsettling requests she’s received since joining the platform.
Jessie Cave, famously known for her role as Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter series, opened up earlier this year about her decision to create an OnlyFans account to help alleviate a substantial $10,000 debt.
In her podcast, Cave clarified: “I’m launching an OnlyFans, it’s not a sexual one. It’s a fetish. Fetish doesn’t necessarily mean sexual.”
The 38-year-old from Britain stated that her financial motivation was driven by a need to repair hazardous electrical issues in her home and that she uses the platform to produce ‘niche hair content,’ branding herself as an ‘OnlyFans Long Hair Specialist’.
Her content, she notes, isn’t entirely PG-rated. While she avoids ‘explicit’ scenes, she may appear in her underwear and plans to create ‘very sensual stuff’ with her long hair, such as brushing it.
However, after nearly two months on the site, Cave has reported being overwhelmed by X-rated requests and finds herself ‘dreading’ the nighttime messages she receives.
According to The Sun, she described receiving ‘gross’ and ‘nasty’ messages, some of which left her feeling ‘scared,’ including unsolicited images of genitalia.
Cave continued: “It’s gotten a little nasty. I feel a little gross, a little scared. I am receiving too many lurid messages and don’t like being sent unsolicited d***s.
“No matter how many times I say I am not doing sexual content, I get a message within two seconds asking to see c*m in my hair or if I would just please f***ing consider full frontal.”
Although she has remained firm in her decision not to perform fully nude, she admits to feeling ‘swayed and pressured by certain messages’ and finds herself on a ‘content treadmill’ she cannot escape.
Cave recounted an instance where a subscriber requested a video of her spanking herself with her braided hair, which led her husband, comedian Alfie Brown, to assist her.
She mentioned in her Substack post that this attempt was somewhat unsuccessful, as Alfie’s spanks with her hair resulted in uncontrollable laughter on her part.
Additionally, she filmed a video involving handcuffs, stating: “I plaited my hair in red lace gloves and did a video of me trying to do plaits with handcuffs on (my kids got the handcuffs at a magic shop).”
Cave has expressed a ‘sense of shame’ for joining OnlyFans initially, something she now finds herself ‘dependent’ on.
The loss of subscribers has also been troubling, as she admits to feeling ‘hurt and upset’ when her follower count decreases.
“It’s proof of my failure to make (or rather, keep hold of) money as an actress and writer. I’ve got nothing to show for 18 years of work in the arts industry.
“I’ve rented for 18 years and drained all my money on that and self-funding my YouTube videos or Edinburgh shows,” she explained.
To stay financially afloat, Cave hopes her fans will ‘gift’ her items from her Throne wish list, which includes a MacBook.
“I am doing OF to supplement my life as an artist, and I will be more vocal about that from now on,” she wrote in another post. “My second most desired item is a fancy ASMR microphone so I can do more satisfying hair brushing videos.
“Then I’ve put cheaper items like elf ears and stockings (which someone bought for me within 10 minutes of going live).”
