Actress Sarah Jayne Dunn Advocates for OnlyFans as a Safer Platform
Former "Hollyoaks" actress Sarah Jayne Dunn has highlighted the security benefits of using OnlyFans, especially in comparison to her experiences on traditional media sets. Dunn pointed out that OnlyFans provides enhanced safety features that helped her feel more secure than when she was on the set of the British soap opera.
Challenges on Social Media and "Hollyoaks"
During her time on "Hollyoaks," Dunn faced unsettling experiences, receiving explicit messages via Instagram. She expressed concerns about the lack of adequate response from the show’s management. Although she reported these incidents to the police, the support she received was insufficient, prompting her to seek better managed platforms.
OnlyFans Offering Enhanced Security
Dunn stressed the security measures provided by OnlyFans, noting that inappropriate images can be pixelated, thus giving her the choice to avoid viewing them. This feature is part of what makes OnlyFans appear safer to Dunn, as it allows her more control over the content she is exposed to and the interactions she engages in.
The Benefits of Switching to OnlyFans
The transition to OnlyFans was not just about security for Dunn. She appreciated the platform for the greater autonomy it offered over her work, contrasting with the intense control and what she described as the political environment of "Hollyoaks." Free from these constraints, Dunn has managed to carve a new path in digital content creation.
Overcoming Professional Loneliness
Despite the freedoms enjoyed on OnlyFans, Dunn mentioned a sense of professional isolation which comes with the territory of digital content creation. However, she has taken steps to mitigate this by engaging in activities such as pole dancing. This not only boosted her confidence but also opened up additional career opportunities as a pole dancing instructor.
Implications for Media Industry Safety and Support
Sarah Jayne Dunn’s experiences raise important questions regarding the adequacy of safety and support systems in traditional media settings compared to digital platforms like OnlyFans. Her story underscores the need for traditional media environments to enhance their security measures and support systems to protect actors from similar negative experiences.
