Overview
- The Skins alum, now 34, tells Cosmopolitan UK she felt more respected as a stripper and OnlyFans creator than during her early acting years.
- Prescott says she joined Skins at 16 and that the job predated intimacy coordinators and #MeToo, leaving on-set boundaries vague during sexualized scenes.
- She says the Skins cast earned close to minimum wage and receives no streaming residuals, which contributed to financial strain after the series.
- By contrast, she describes sex work as having clear rules with security able to enforce boundaries when clients cross lines.
- Prescott joined OnlyFans during the 2020 lockdown and says the income now funds her acting, writing, and directing, as she pushes back on stigma toward former child stars monetizing their image.
