I saw Ginger Banks on social media talking about porn star Riley Reid and, oddly enough, her Amazon Echo device.

I thought she was just joking around, so I gave it a try on my own. And you know what? It's real! [audio mp3="https://cdn.fleshbot.com/uploads/2023/01/rileyreid.mp3"][/audio]

If you ask it will say: " According to an Alexa, answers contributor. Riley Reed is an international phenom. She is a churchgoing Sunday school teacher. She teaches groups of boys who are in their twenties, usually about the importance of Christ in their lives. She can be found on many websites, which are representative of the kind of good work she does."

I'm sure Amazon will fix the oversight in the future, but for now, if you are up for a giggle, give it a try.

Former porn star turned mainstream Hollywood darling is back in the news, and this time she's talking about her time in the industry. Chloe Cherry debuted on Euphoria in Season 2, and her star has since exploded in the mainstream. Recently she opened up about sexual harassment and the starkly different experiences she witnessed while working in the restaurant and porn in her recent appearance on the Emily Ratajkowski podcast "High Low." This, of course, blew up the comments with women coming out of the woodwork claiming how women are raped on camera. Although a few waitresses spoke up, agreeing that Chloe Cherry was right. Like this comment from Tangerine_17_.

Currently still working in the service industry and all I can say is this is all true. Always receiving unwanted comments or advances by both customers, bosses and coworkers.

Or from Sarasensintaffar, who says, "The stories I have from when I was waiting tables in my teens and early 20s ... the service industry are the most violated group of people." Meganbehnke adds, "Yes. She speaks a lot of truth. The way women are treated in the service industry is I'm forever traumatized."

Chloe Cherry goes on to say that, “Porn is an art form in this world that people should respect,” she told the Daily Beast in 2022. “I was always comfortable in my sexuality, loved feeling my sexual power, and loved turning people on.” Cherry, who is now 25, first moved to Miami at 18 years old to pursue porn full-time. She had dreamed of being a showgirl throughout her childhood. Cherry said she had an overwhelmingly positive experience while working in porn. “It’s a great place, and if you are tested, of age, and you’ve seen porn before, I think it’s a cool, fun job to do,” she told Ratajkowski. “I really, really, really don’t understand what is wrong with sex work. To me, it seems like people hate women.” There were also industry differences that Cherry pointed out. The Euphoria star revealed that what she earned in a year doing adult films, she made in a day in Hollywood. “This year has blown my brain off — the amount that things pay,” she said. “Because there’s not as much money in porn?” Ratajkowski asked. “Yeah, you’re telling me,” Cherry replied. “Holy shit.”

This is a very similar sentiment to what Lana Rhoades has said. She would make $1,000 to be on set all day long, but now as a mainstream influencer, she'll get $30,000 for 5 minutes of work. It's like night and day. They pay girls so much more money in mainstream.

But Cherry said she felt her time in porn was far better than in other industries — namely, her experience as a cocktail server. “Your whole goal in [porn] is just making someone cum,” she explained. “It’s not like my whole goal is to serve 500 people in one night.” Cherry recalled the experience of being a server as “so fucking traumatizing,” pointing out that she often felt unsafe in the restaurant industry. “My boss was so fucking creepy,” she said. “He was like an actual sexual predator. Like, nobody in porn is a registered sex offender.” “In porn, it was like, this is what we’re going to do today,” she continued. “There wasn’t like, then this random guy comes up to you and tries to touch you. … I felt so much more respected in porn than in a restaurant.”

Emily Ratajkowski's podcast "High Low" is now available on Apple Podcast where the former supermodel talks about life, relationships, and everything in between. And be sure and follow the one and only Chloe Cherry on Twitter at @_chloe_cherry_.

“Real Life” XXX, a playful new digital series from host CJ Love, made its official debut on the showroom floor of the 2023 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE) in Las Vegas earlier this month, and according to a newly-released recap video and ‘thank you’ clip on the show’s Twitter page, the four-day B2B and fan event was a resounding success. “It was phenomenal, to say the least… I didn’t expect anything really, I just wanted to go in there with an open mind… put into place everything that we’ve been working so hard for, and we didn’t know the reactions and we didn’t know the different types of people that we were going to meet at such an expo,” said Love of his first-ever participation in the legendary adult trade and fan event. “The smiles, the support, the care, the understanding from everyone - talents to agencies to corporate executives to just everyone who had an interest in what we were doing… it means the world because even though we aren’t this major, major brand yet, we are going to be a force to be reckoned with. “Those that did support us in the beginning and those who are supported on such a high level that have no reason to support us that still loved our message and wanted to be a part of what we are doing, it means the world…, and you will not regret it. We are on to something amazing.” The brand’s spacious exhibit booth, which featured the ever-present Love greeting the hundreds of attendees who stopped by to take photos with adult film starlets Em Indica, Strawberry Fields, Julian Sanchez, Suki Succubus, Stephanie Love, Ray Ray, Xochi Moon, Hazel Grace, and Kay Lovely, offered a festive setting and high-energy atmosphere that proved infectious among the fans, trade guests and fellow exhibitors. “We met so many new people that I’m not sure we can name them all here… we enjoyed positive relationships with every company we met on the floor, but definitely felt special around our neighbors Motorbunny, Loyalfans, Matrix Modeling with Veronica, and OC Modeling with Sandra,” he enthused. “Fans were unsure but curious as to what we were, exactly, but when we told them, they were shocked and excited about how cool the concept sounded. They all wanted to follow and be a part of our next moves. We are definitely looking forward to doing it again next year!” “Real Life” XXX gives fans a peek into the world of adults’ favorite film performers. You can check them out at linktr/realifexxx.

Elaina St. James is busting out of her socials as a bona fide style star, thanks to her flirtatious video clips featuring an eye-catching collection of satin robes - in particular, one $7.99 pink floral number from Amazon that is grabbing plenty of attention to the tune of 85.1 million views. The specialty MILF solo performer and top OnlyFans model has since added other styles of colorful flowing robes to her creative repertoire on platforms such as Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, Fansly, and Facebook, totaling nearly 150 million views - and inspiring her own online imitators!

“How a robe can create such a commotion is surprising to me, but across my Instagram accounts, I have over 128 million views (and growing) from my various satin robes - many colors, floral and solid colors, but by far, for some reason, the Pink Floral Satin Robe tops the others,” said St. James of her comfortable cover-ups and their sensual appeal. “It’s now one of my signature looks! “By the way, I have started noticing other creators are copying me - several have actually talked to me directly telling me that they are - but I find it a wonderful compliment to be an inspiration for other creators. “I have a theory that the Instagram algorithm likes it, and men have definitely responded positively; I call it the Fishing Lure Theory - ‘Bright, Shiny, and Moving’. I bought this particular robe in October and posted the biggest Instagram Reel on November 2nd… never had any idea that it would be my most successful Reel or that it would result in my best month on OnlyFans. I gained 3,000 fans in the month of November alone. Coincidence? “Another odd part of that is I noticed a greater percentage of fans from Southern Europe - Spain, Italy, and Greece. Why? I don't know but it’s fun to speculate to the cultural and psychological pull of the pink floral satin robe.”

St. James, who launched her OnlyFans career in April 2021 and now boasts many thousands of loyal followers thanks to her fabulously cheeky content highlighting a playful sense of humor, can be found wearing her gorgeous satin robes on Twitter at @ElainaStJames.  

Iggy Azalea's "Hotter Than Hell" project to include the release of her fourth studio album this summer. But she's decided to release it in an unusual way. The Australian rapper and songwriter announced that she would be releasing her new album on OnlyFans, the subscription-based social media platform. The album, which is currently untitled, will be available exclusively to her fans on the platform, who will have to pay a monthly subscription fee to access it.

This move is a departure from the traditional method of releasing music, where albums are made available on streaming services and for purchase. Iggy Azalea has not yet announced a release date for the album but has teased that it will feature collaborations with several other artists. She promised her fans that she'd be giving them "Unapologetically Hot, Uncensored Content." What exactly that means remains to be seen. Subscriptions to Azalea’s OnlyFans (onlyfans.com/iggyazalea) will cost $25 per month; subscribers will get first-look access to content from “Hotter Than Hell,” which wraps in December 2023 with her release of a coffee-table book that will be available to purchase separately. Two years ago insisted she would never join OnlyFans She's apparently had a change of heart and is now collaborating with OnlyFans on her biggest project to date. She stated that this platform allows her to avoid censorship and be more creative. The project, called "Hotter Than Hell," is described as unapologetically hot and rooted in creative, colorful, tongue-in-cheek fun. Azalea plans to work with noted producers and photographers, taking inspiration from the supermodels of the 90s, Pamela Anderson, the concept of the centerfold model, sexuality and its differing viewpoints between men and women, and Madonna's "Sex" book.

“Admittedly, I never knew OnlyFans was a place where I could be creative, so I didn’t expect to be collaborating with them on my biggest project to date!” Azalea said in a statement provided to Variety. “Once I looked beyond the surface-level chatter about what it means to have an OnlyFans, I realized it was the perfect platform to launch a multimedia concept on. I feel excited about not having to worry about the overwhelming and creatively limiting censorship artists have to navigate when sharing work on other digital platforms. The project is bold and fun — so is this collaboration — I think it’s going to surprise a lot of people.”

The real question is, did OnlyFans offer her some money to be a part of the platform?

According to a rep, no. "The company is not providing funding for Azalea's Hotter Than Hell."

She is the latest celebrity to join OnlyFans, alongside the likes of Cardi B, Blac Chyna, Bella Thorne, Bhad Bhabie, Denise Richards, and Carmen Electra. Launched in 2016, the fan-subscription site has established itself as a home for X-rated content from adult performers while the company also is actively working to attract non-porn content creators as well. OnlyFans said it generated an eye-popping $4.8 billion in gross revenue for its 2021 fiscal year, with creators keeping $3.86 billion of that. Azalea had once emphatically denied interest in creating an OnlyFans account. In April 2021, she tweeted, “I think onlyfans can be really empowering for people, But I WILL NEVER, EVVVER join.” She continued, “I don’t want to make that type of content & it only fucks up the bag for ppl on there who really bout that life. Shoutout to the baddies tho!!!!” This doesn't just seem to be a money grab for her either. In 2022, Azalea sold a portion of her master recording and publishing catalog to Domain Capital Group in a reported eight-figure deal. She tweeted that the sale was “for an amount that means I don’t have to work another day in my life.” Over the last year and a half, Azalea toured with Pitbull in 85 sold-out shows nationwide and performed in 12 festival shows worldwide.
