Controversial Enclave Leader Streams on Chaturbate
Eric Orwoll, the head of the controversial whites-only community "Return to the Land" and his former wife, were identified participating in adult content streamed on the platform Chaturbate . Their username, "Openmindedsexualencounters," became a channel for interactive sessions where the couple engaged directly with viewers, who could tip them in the form of tokens during live broadcasts.
Engagement and Viewership
In a standout session that garnered over 29,000 views, Orwoll’s ex-wife, Caitlyn Smith, was particularly active, directly interacting with the audience. She openly thanked viewers for their tips while engaging provocatively with the camera. Smith's profile on Chaturbate notably stated her interests inclusively as "Men, Women, Trans, Couples," presenting a stark contrast to the exclusionary ideals promoted by Orwoll.
Public Persona vs. Private Actions
Eric Orwoll publicly advocates for a racially and culturally exclusive community through his leadership in Return to the Land. This enclave, located near Ravenden, Arkansas, near the Ozark Mountains, has strict entry requirements based on white European heritage and promotes a conservative lifestyle distinctly isolated from what Orwoll deems as "deviant" lifestyles, including LGBTQ identities.
Despite these public stances, his involvement in activities on Chaturbate highlights a significant contradiction between his personal engagements and the ideological purity he preaches. This dual life has sparked debates about the authenticity and legality of his public advocacy, especially in light of his extremist views intending to expand such racially exclusive communities across the U.S.
Legal Repercussions and Civil Rights Challenges
The operations and policies of Return to the Land have attracted criticism and legal scrutiny. Civil rights organizations have condemned the enclave's policy of denying entry to Muslims, Jews, and non-heterosexual individuals. Legal specialists in housing laws are challenging the legality of these exclusionary practices, suggesting they might be deemed unconstitutional under U.S. anti-discrimination laws.
Personal Life and Changes
Orwoll and Smith, who have four children together, finalized their divorce in October of the previous year. Post-divorce, Smith has remarried and resides on the planned compound with her new husband, where they are actively constructing a cabin.
