In a world where financial stability is paramount, two prominent OnlyFans creators are raising alarm bells over what they believe to be discriminatory practices by major banks. Lily Phillips and Alix Lynx claim their bank accounts were abruptly shut down, leaving them puzzled and frustrated. Despite maintaining legal businesses, both women say they’ve been targeted simply due to their profession.
Phillips, a well-known face on the platform, revealed that her business bank account was closed "purely because they didn’t like my job." Similarly, Lynx was informed that her personal and business accounts at Chase Bank had been terminated without any clear reason. The creators are adamant that this isn’t an isolated incident, but rather a reflection of broader discrimination against those in the adult industry.
“One hundred thousand percent, yes. At first, I didn’t know why my accounts had been closed,” Lynx shared. "But I was working in studios at the time, and when I started talking to other performers, I realized I wasn’t the only one it had happened to.”
Lynx expressed her frustration over the cryptic communication from the bank. She recounted receiving an email and a subsequent letter that failed to explain the decision. "From the beginning, everything was incredibly cryptic," she noted, highlighting the lack of transparency in the bank's actions.
Phillips echoed these sentiments, emphasizing that the issue is far-reaching. "This isn’t just an issue that I’m having. This is something that the majority of creators are going through," she said. Both women argue that this treatment amounts to unjust discrimination against a legal profession.
As Phillips aptly put it, "Whether you morally agree or disagree with my job is kind of besides the point. What I do is completely legal." The creators hope that by sharing their stories, they can bring attention to this pressing issue and prompt banks to reconsider their policies.
