Jessie Cave, known for playing Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter films, has spoken honestly about why she joined OnlyFans and the difficult reality she now faces. She said she opened the account to deal with serious money problems, including urgent home repairs and growing debt.
The actress explained that her OnlyFans content was never meant to be explicit. Her posts focus on hair-related videos, such as brushing and styling, and she has repeatedly said she does not produce sexual material. She wanted the platform to be a practical way to earn income, not a dramatic career shift.
Despite setting clear limits, Cave says many subscribers have ignored them. She has received explicit and disturbing messages, including sexual requests and unsolicited images. She admitted this has left her feeling uncomfortable, anxious, and fearful at times, especially when reading messages late at night.
Cave says the financial pressure makes the situation harder. Losing subscribers affects her income, and she feels stuck producing content even when it makes her uneasy. She has also shared feelings of shame and frustration that years of work as an actress and writer did not provide lasting financial security.
She says she continues only to stay afloat financially, while trying to protect her mental health and personal boundaries.
