Soap star Sarah Jayne Dunn, famously known for her role as Mandy Richardson in Hollyoaks, has spoken out against soap bosses who are preventing her former co-stars from joining OnlyFans. After 15 years on the show, Dunn was forced to leave in 2021 when she launched her profile on the adult-only platform.
Dunn revealed that soap actors had to sign a new contract stating they wouldn’t join OnlyFans, or else they would have had to leave the show. Despite the curiosity among her colleagues, they couldn’t take the same step due to the restrictions imposed by their employers.
Notably, other famous personalities, including Kerry Katona and Love Island’s Megan Barton Hanson, reached out to Dunn to congratulate her for standing her ground. Dunn never doubted her decision and felt empowered by the support she received from fellow creators on the platform.
Joining Hollyoaks during its peak in the early 2000s, when it attracted over four million viewers per episode, Dunn’s departure surprised many. However, her move to OnlyFans proved to be a positive and life-changing experience, allowing her to find happiness, freedom, and quality time with her family. She now has the flexibility to work on her own schedule and enjoy the benefits of her newfound success.
OnlyFans, founded by entrepreneur Tim Stokely, gained significant popularity during the Covid-19 lockdowns, attracting millions of creators and users. Although there was initially a ban on sexually explicit content, the platform later reversed its decision.
It’s clear that Sarah Jayne Dunn’s brave decision has had a profound impact on her life, providing her with a fresh perspective and the ability to pursue her passions. Soap bosses may have their reasons, but Dunn’s journey serves as a reminder that individual choices and self-expression should be respected.
