Overview

• The lawsuit, filed on April 1, 2025, accuses OnlyFans’ parent companies, Fenix Internet LLC and Fenix International Limited, of allowing third-party agencies to impersonate creators in user interactions.
• Plaintiffs M. Brunner and J. Fry allege they were defrauded and argue they would not have subscribed or would have paid less if they knew they were not directly communicating with creators.
• The lawsuit claims OnlyFans’ terms of service obscure the role of third-party agencies, making it difficult for users to understand the nature of their interactions.
• OnlyFans has previously stated that creators may work with unaffiliated third parties to manage their accounts, but the platform has not publicly responded to this lawsuit as of April 2, 2025.
• This case follows a history of legal challenges against OnlyFans, including a 2024 class-action lawsuit over similar 'chatter scams,' with a trial scheduled for 2027.
