An OnlyFans model is facing a murder charge after a man who paid her $17,500 died during a BDSM fetish video the two were performing, according to a report.

Michaela Brashaye Rylaarsdam, 31, recorded the kinky video for her OnlyFans profile with Michael Dale, 55, at his Californian home — receiving the hefty payment to bind him in plastic wrap and duct tape, which resulted in his death by asphyxiation, according to an affidavit reviewed by the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Despite never before engaging in BDSM sex, Rylaarsdam told cops she was hired by the man to wrap him like a mummy in Saran wrap and glue a pair of women’s boots to his feet, texts revealed in the affidavit show, according to the report, New York Post reported.

Troubling video of the April 17, 2023, encounter shows Dale had duct tape over his mouth, his head swathed in cling wrap that was further duct-taped, and a plastic bag, also secured with tape, over his entire face and head, the affidavit claimed.

While Dale was suffocating on the floor, Rylaarsdam performed sex acts nearby for the OnlyFans video she recorded on her phone, prosecutors alleged.

The plastic wrappings were left in place for a total of eight minutes, with Dale’s arms and legs also bound tightly, preventing him from removing the materials over his mouth and nose, according to the report.

Video shows Rylaarsdam, whose performer name is ‘Asshley Sincal’, realise that something had gone horribly wrong and rush to call emergency services, the report stated.

Cops arrived to find Rylaarsdam performing CPR on the unresponsive Dale, who was declared brain dead at a hospital and, days later, removed from life support, according to the Union-Tribune.

His official cause of death is lack of oxygen to the brain, according to a coroner’s report.

Rylaarsdam recorded the video for her OnlyFans profile, which she operates in partnership with her husband, Brandon, according to the Daily Mail.

A lawyer for the mother of three claims she was engaged in consensual sexual activities and did not expect Dale would die during the encounter, the San Diego Union-Tribune stated.

Rylaarsdam was arrested last month and is charged with second-degree murder, to which she has pleaded not guilty.

She is awaiting her trial from jail, where she is held without bond.
