A former self-described “digital pimp” turned activist has unapologetically slammed the adult industry for over-sexualising women.
In a series of TikTok videos, motivational speaker Victoria has spoken out against OnlyFans creators for pushing inappropriate content to young audiences.
“I used to sell girls online, and now I speak out against the porn industry,” she said.
“I was part of marketing, making girls go viral on social media so we could put them into funnel systems which would lead them to the porn platform, so people could then purchase all the content that they did.”
It was only when she realised what was happening on the OnlyFans platform that she decided to leave the industry altogether.
“This was the first time I was ever seeing porn. I know these girls, I started to build relationships with them, and I’m seeing this type of content … it’s really confronting,” she said.
“I’m really struggling every single day. I get to a point where I can’t even open my laptop anymore. I’m crying. It was really affecting me and I didn’t know what to do.”
She said questions about the morality of her work fell on deaf ears and was unsatisfied with answers she received from other people working in the adult industry.
“I needed to offset all the bad that I’m doing. We think that if we’re doing something wrong, we will go do something right to make us feel better,” she said.
“I feel really gross, I feel really disgusting. I don’t feel right doing this. I need to offset this with something else.”
This was when she turned her back on the industry and the perks that came with the role.
“I went from these boujee parties, elite dinners and this luxurious life to cleaning toilets and making coffees,” she said.
“I really got to heal and be in an environment where I didn’t have to perform. I’ve just gone through one of the biggest life changes I’ve ever been through. I can start to process what happened. Selling girls online, partying, substance abuse … all those things.”
The TikToker said she felt called to speak out about the adult industry.
“I end up just not being able to not speak about this. The reality of what’s happening on social media, how we’re corrupting innocent minds, what we’re actually doing,” she said.
In other videos, Victoria said adult content creators have so much more to offer society than just selling a fantasy on OnlyFans.
“People think the only way they can be successful or happy is now to do adult content online or to sexualise themselves,” she said.
“These girls are brilliant, they’re smart, they’re kind, they’re generous. They have capacity for so much more than just to degrade themselves to sell themselves online.
“We have to understand the implications and the ramifications of this sexualised culture. We all have the capacity to dream big. We never have to sell ourselves in any shape or form to make that happen.”
The motivational speaker said the adult content creators targeting schoolies are “so wrong.”
“We need to stop thinking this is the way that we reward women for how hot they are,” she said.
“These girls that do this stuff could have had such extraordinary lives without ever having to sell themselves in this way.
“We need to remind young girls that they don’t need to sexualise themselves to be successful and your value isn’t how hot you are.”
