Los Angeles' serene Encino neighborhood is making headlines for unexpected reasons. A once-quiet street is now a bustling hub of activity thanks to a home doubling as a filming location for OnlyFans creators. Residents have voiced their frustration, claiming the house is a hotspot for lewd video shoots and raucous parties that attract over 100 cars, disturbing their peace.
“We could just see these girls,” one neighbor expressed to CBS News. “They have like a gym in front of the garage, and they were doing handstands on each other in g-strings. I mean, they just looked nude.”
The situation has reached the point where police and SWAT teams have been involved, raising the stakes in this community standoff.
Andy Bachman, the home's owner and CEO of Creators Inc, insists his agency is compliant with the law and respectful of the neighborhood. While acknowledging some creators have OnlyFans accounts, he maintains that adult content is off-limits at the property. "We're really proud of the work we do," Bachman stated. "We support content creators... and we'll continue advocating for the rights of entrepreneurs to build businesses in the modern economy."
Despite these assurances, neighbors argue the home's activities breach residential zoning laws, suggesting such operations should move to commercial spaces. "It's not just the morality," one resident pointed out. "It's the fact that they're running a business in a residential neighborhood... There's a constant stream of people coming in and out."
Residents have taken their grievances to the City of Los Angeles, but results have been elusive. Bachman contends that the complaints hold no weight, asserting his operations are lawful. "Content creators work from home as well. Millions of Americans work from home today," he told NBC 4 Los Angeles. "The question isn't whether someone works from home, it's whether they're complying with local laws."
However, skepticism remains high among locals who claim the house masquerades as a corporate event venue. "The house is clearly labeled with a corporate name," a resident remarked. "In front, all the cars are labeled their corporate name... This is not a business district; this is residential homes."
