As the Russia, Ukraine war becomes more intense, porn stars in Russia are angry that OnlyFans banned them as part of “corporate sanctions.” And they are letting the world know.
Russian porn stars are airing public grievances after being blocked from OnlyFans. Following a Visa and Mastercard ban, OnlyFans would have no viable way to process payments for the adult actors and actresses. And a lack of payment processing seems to be the crux of the issue.
“While creators are not responsible for the recent attacks on Ukraine, due to worldwide financial restrictions we have very limited methods to pay Creator accounts linked to Russia and Belarus. As a result payments have been limited.” Only fans told the Daily Beast.
“After experiencing financial restrictions we have been able to restore account activity for creators in all countries. Their accounts will have full functionalities as long as we continue to have payment methods to support them.”
Many of the affected porn stars are saying they will now go broke. Due to the block, accounts can’t receive any new subscribers. Worse more, renewals won’t process.
UPDATE:
On Monday, OnlyFans seemed to convey that accounts will be restored. “After experiencing financial restrictions we have been able to restore account activity for creators in all countries. Their accounts will have full functionalities as long as we continue to have payment methods to support them.”
Many of the adult performers made the case that blocking the income of Russian citizens won’t help the plight of Ukrainians.

Only Fans account @SixSexPlanes even went so far as to say that “we all don’t support our government. We’re suffering about it all time and now we’re all just shocked.”
That’s pretty risque talk in Russia these days. The country just banned all “fake news” – or news that doesn’t agree with Putin’s regime (my words).
Bunny Mommy, another Russian OnlyFans account, agreed, saying, “Blocking bank accounts of peaceful Russian people, blocking working pages and freezing income won’t help Ukraine,” she declared. “We are humans, who really wish peaceful sky under Ukraine and want to help as much as we can.”
