Sensationalist broadcast television/website though it might be, there is no denying the broad appeal of TMZ. And there can be no denying the broad appeal and money-making potential of OnlyFans. Last night, TMZ took on the popular content creator portal in their exposé TMZ Presents: The War Over OnlyFans, revealing two sides of their argument, or "war" as they call it, with three audience panels set for a final "OnlyFans: Legit or Destructive" vote at the end of the show.

The Con

The first half of the show featured interviews with ex-OnlyFans creators who had negative experiences with the website. Ex-OF star Angela White, known more to the world of XXX action as Blac Chyna, was featured as the main dissenting voice, presenting her story (sitting in an ornate church for her interview as she has recently undergone a religious conversion). She set the story straight over the rumor that she made the startling figure of $240 million on OnlyFans, as well as talked about how she progressed from exotic dancing to just about everything else she could get away with on the site she now regrets joining.

Ex-Disney show star Dan Benson weighed in as well with his negative perspective. He got onto OnlyFans after a bunch of his private intimate photos were leaked online, and feeling helpless to stop this occurrence (and out of a job at the time, as he explained), Benson began offering explicit content over OnlyFans and became a content creator there.

And social media maven Taylor Brazinsky claimed OF led to her exploitation and sexual abuse as she tried to navigate the popular site, engaging in ever more explicit content creation.

The Pro

Amber Rose gushed about the millions she made on OnlyFans, thrilled by her experience on the site. And middle-aged couple Carmen Wilson and Joe Gow praised the site for the money they make off it, claiming that shooting their intimacies has saved their marriage. Joe, once a Chancellor at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and booted from that job because of what he and his wife do on OF, fawned over his wife, who returned his affections. In this second half of the show, they were even seen with a few porn stars.

The Vote

Although there were more votes for "destructive," at the final tally, the TMZ show didn't present a landslide negative view about OnlyFans.

Despite the headline-grabbing title of TMZ Presents: The War Over OnlyFans, when all was said and done, there was very little real warring going on between ex-creators and current OnlyFans stars. And plenty of folks are still flocking to the site to work it, as well as enjoy it.
