Cherie DeVille Weighs In on OnlyFans Uncertainty for The Hollywood Reporter

DeVille appears in the feature as one of the adult industry’s clearest voices on platform dependency, offering a seasoned perspective as creators weigh OnlyFans, Fansly and other fan platforms amid renewed uncertainty. Written by Gustavo Turner, the article positions DeVille less as a platform loyalist than as a working creator who understands that fan relationships, not tech companies, are the real business asset.

“There’s only one consistent thing in adult and that’s that it’s totally inconsistent,” DeVille says in the article. “In this business, you never, ever, ever, not even for one month, put all of your eggs in one basket.”

While OnlyFans remains a major part of DeVille’s current business, she makes it clear that creators who understand marketing can move with the market instead of being trapped by it. “I know, like every other platform and job that I’ve ever had in sex work, it comes and goes,” DeVille tells THR. “It’ll be the good old days of OnlyFans, and we’ll all have moved on.”
