Lucy and Zoe are best friends. They eat together. They boutique together. They do TikTok dances together. And they accept sex with a strap-on while cutting Fourth of July-themed hats on the camming belvedere Chaturbate together. They are fractional to theming shows about civic holidays: In February, their allowance is busy blush for Valentine’s Day, while in October, it was adorned with spiders and orange-and-black streamers.
In a vlog on her OnlyFans page, clad in a fembot-esque blush nightie and thigh-high white belvedere boots, Lucy, 19, takes a bash at a piñata, which, in befitting with the zoomer baby-doll aesthetic, is Hello Kitty-themed.

The blow of the video is a montage of the girls’ activities in the house, accompanied by two added adolescent women and set to “Daisy” by Ashnikko: filming a TikTok while cutting bunny aerial and devil horns; Lucy askew about on the attic covered in bite-size bonbon bars; the four women arena the video bold Aloof Dance cutting annihilation but acrylic gloves and fishnet socks. In the accomplishments is a caster for Bold Night, which has altered sex acts accounting on it: “booby helicopter,” “doggy-style biscuit toe,” “chocolate starfish” (a butthole beam to the camera, per Zoe). “Fuck a princess, I’m a king, bow bottomward and kiss on my ring,” Ashnikko raps. Accession vlog, from a cruise to Miami, shows the girls swigging albino and twerking on a affluence yacht; they accomplish out, beam their breasts to the camera, and bound naked into the water, captivation calmly and giggling.
Such is activity in the Can Be Bought House, a five-bedroom, four-bathroom modernist home in an flush allotment of Texas. It is endemic and run by Zoe, an OnlyFans architect with an barrage of russet-colored curls, and her admirer Austin, 34. (Rolling Stone is anecdotic them and all of the added agreeable creators interviewed by their industry names, as is our accepted to assure the aloofness of developed performers.)
Story continues
For the accomplished two years, Zoe has been one of the highest-earning camgirls on Chaturbate, a accepted XXX alive platform, area she has added than 435,000 followers. (A agent for Chaturbate accepted this, cogent Rolling Stone that Can Be Bought “certainly can be classified as one of the top earners on our platform.”) Since January 2020, Zoe and Austin’s home has additionally served as the CBB House, a declared collab abode area creators are arrive to alive and accomplish agreeable full-time with Zoe.
In theory, the annual of this archetypal is mutual: Abate creators get to booty advantage of Zoe’s amazing belvedere and alive in the abode rent-free, while Zoe gets to mix up her cam shows and OnlyFans agreeable by featuring a revolving casting of characters. “We’re announcement them to our about bisected a actor followers on Chaturbate,” Zoe says. “And we’re allowance them anatomy their own brands as well.” (When asked if this is difficult to do in the bosom of a pandemic, both Zoe and Austin shrugged it off, adage they do not analysis creators who arise into the abode to shoot. “All you’re absolutely appropriate to do is ask if anyone, you or anyone you’ve been with, has been in acquaintance with Covid. And if they say no, afresh you’re acceptable to go,” Zoe says. “We’re in Texas. You can acquaint bodies bottomward actuality aren’t that abashed about it.”)
On her OnlyFans page, Zoe posts arcadian videos of activity for those in the house, including arcade sprees and boozy trips to New Orleans and Austin. “We were declared to be, like, a crew, active this abundant affairs and all that,” says Violet Flowers, a cam aerialist who says she additionally formed as Austin’s paid abettor and streamed with Zoe for added than a year, from December 2019 until her abandonment in January 2021.
Promoting this awe-inspiring affairs was key to recruiting new associates to the group, says Aspen Taylor, a Texas-based archetypal who met Zoe and Austin while she was a waitress at the restaurant Twin Peaks aftermost year. “[Zoe] had the new Christian Dior bag and Balenciagas, Burberrys. I could acquaint the way they were dressed they fabricated absolutely acceptable money,” she recalls. The ultimate ambition of the CBB Abode was to accomplish abundant absorption to actualize an developed brand, which would alluringly advance into a Befitting Up With the Kardashians-esque absoluteness show. “They absolutely capital girls to arise alive with them,” says Violet. “They capital to accomplish it a Playboy house.”
But six above associates of the abode acquaint Rolling Stone that their acquaintance of activity in the CBB Abode was abundant darker. These cam performers (most, but not all, of whom are articular by name in this story) adduce that they were recruited by Zoe and Austin on websites like Seeking Arrangements and apps like Tinder, abandoned to be financially exploited. They say the two took 50 percent of their balance in barter for room, board, and acknowledgment to Zoe’s followers, which generally basic accommodating in backbreaking streams for up to seven hours on Chaturbate. Often, they say, Austin encouraged or pressured them to use booze and marijuana while filming. Two of the women Rolling Stone batten with additionally declared that Austin, who served a de facto authoritative role in the house, sexually assaulted them. (Austin denied both of these allegations in assorted interviews with Rolling Stone.)
Many of the adult-industry experts Rolling Stone batten with fatigued that such declared adventures are far from accepted in the industry, which tends to abode a exceptional on consent. “If you set [a agreeable house] up the appropriate way, it could be great,” Corey Silverstein, an adult-industry advocate based in Michigan, tells Rolling Stone. “The botheration is aback you accept one actuality who does it the amiss way, that’s what anybody thinks all-embracing it is.” Allegations of exploitation, he stresses, are “exactly the array of affair we don’t appetite or allegation in this industry.”
For the accomplished few years, the content-house archetypal has been able-bodied accustomed for creators on platforms like YouTube and, best recently, TikTok, which has accustomed acceleration to such collectives as the Hype House. The adjustment is simple: put a agglomeration of adorable bodies with ample social-media followings in one house, area they accept annihilation to do but party, angle up, and shoot agreeable (or sometimes, all three at the aforementioned time) and they can advice anatomy one another’s platforms by cross-promoting their work.
Not all of these attempts accept been successful, and affluence of added boilerplate agreeable houses accept additionally faced their own managerial-misconduct allegations. But in the agenda developed industry, which has exploded during the accomplished year — OnlyFans was accepted to cull in $300 actor in acquirement in 2020 alone, a arise 370 percent access from December 2019 to December 2020 — it makes faculty why ambitious types would appetite to banknote in by abashed a agglomeration of creators in a abundantly appointed abode and absolution the agreeable abracadabra happen.
This was abnormally accurate at the alpha of the pandemic, says Silverstein. “As Covid-19 absolutely hit, you had this awe-inspiring about-face from accepted agreeable creation,” such as a flat hiring performers to shoot content, “to performers activity into business for themselves,” he says. “It happened actual quickly, and models had to anticipate on their feet.”
Because abounding agreeable creators lived with attached or ancestors associates or couldn’t allow accessories on their own, they couldn’t cautiously shoot in their own spaces, and to an admeasurement absolute studios accept helped to serve this need. But affective into a adequate abode with added creators, decidedly those with beyond platforms, provides a altered befalling to accession your own numbers while accompanying ensuring you’ll never run out of content. Decidedly at the alpha of the pandemic, “people were so atrocious to be able to shoot with added people,” says adult-industry business adviser Amberly Rothfield. “There’s abandoned so abundant abandoned agreeable that will advertise for you.”
Such a archetypal doesn’t arise afterwards its own altered acknowledged issues. “If you’ve got a cam flat active out of a house, it’s actual accessible you’ll run into zoning disputes with the accompaniment or municipality,” Silverstein says, citation added cases area he’s apparent neighbors adduce about cam studios actuality run in residential neighborhoods.
For some creators aggravating to kick-start their developed careers, however, the attraction of accommodating with and acquirements from other, added accustomed models is evident. “Your admirers get apathetic of stuff,” says Hektek Desires, a amulet agreeable ambassador in Tampa, Florida. Hektek runs concise agreeable houses in cities like Atlanta and Orlando, acceptation he rents out a abode for a anniversary and invites a accumulation of performers to shoot as abundant agreeable as they appetite during that time, so they can advance it on one another’s platforms. He does not allegation performers to break with him: Instead, both he and the aerialist accumulation off the sales of what they’ve attempt that anniversary on their corresponding platforms, in what’s accepted as a share-trade agreement.
“If you do abandoned agreeable and it’s abandoned with a dildo and that’s all you do, eventually someone’s like, ‘Aight, can you add a vibrator in abutting time?’ And if you say no, you don’t get that acknowledgment subscriber abutting month. That’s what a lot of girls are award out,” says Desires. “You allegation to accumulate actuality beginning and entertaining. It’s declared OnlyFans, not OnlyMe. You allegation to apprentice what your admirers appetite and go by that.”
According to Austin and Zoe, the brace started camming on Chaturbate in 2019. At the time, their banking bearings was precarious: Austin, who’d been arena poker full-time, had sunk all of his accomplishment into a shaved-ice business the two had started, which was faltering. It was initially Zoe’s decision, he says, for the two of them to alpha camming together, abandoned for Austin to afterwards booty a added authoritative role: “I accomplished there was no point [in me accomplishing it, too],” he says. “They capital to see her added than me.” In a few months, he says, they went from authoritative $200 per beck to added than $1,000 per show.
In December 2019, appropriate afore the communicable hit, Austin and Zoe started allurement accompany and added cam performers to accompany them on streams. At first, Austin told me that architecture a agreeable abode was a added amoebic process: “It was aloof like, ‘OK, we’re at this allotment of the business area she’s been accomplishing solos — how do we change the appearance up a little bit?’ ” He afterwards told me that the “original vision” was to “emulate” TikTok houses like Hype House, aural an adult-content model.
Molly, a cam aerialist and above CBB Abode member, was the aboriginal to accompany the house. She says Zoe and Austin accomplished out to her in December 2019 via Twitter, and she hopped on a alike for the aboriginal time in her activity to appointment them in Texas anon afterward. Initially, she says, there were things that gave her pause: On their aboriginal few streams, she noticed they were frequently encouraged by tippers to booze alcohol, and one night, while they had been drinking, the three of them took MDMA and had a threesome, which she afterwards regretted but says was consensual. But she had abandoned been camming on Chaturbate for a few months, and was anon absorption by their lifestyle.
“I grew up in advance affliction and never absolutely had a lot,” she says. “When I started camming it was my aboriginal time seeing the achievability of active a altered life. Aback I met them, they were bodies who were accomplishing what I capital to do — they had a nice house, they were comfortable. And I was so aboveboard to the accomplished sex-work industry. I’d aloof started, but I saw it was accessible to accept these nice things.”
With Molly abashed into the house, Austin and Zoe started assiduously adorable for added adolescent women to recruit, generally on sites like the “sugar dating” belvedere Seeking Adjustment and apps like Tinder. Rothfield says this is not aberrant in the industry, in which there is generally a aerial accumulation allowance for newcomers to developed — but, she says, it is a “bad practice.” “You’re abutting accession who has not apparent any absorption in the industry, but you’re abutting accession who, should article go wrong, [doesn’t know] who to ability out to so they’re alike added vulnerable,” she explains.
When asked why he acclimated such platforms instead of aggravating to recruit added accustomed cam models, Austin said that they did both, but websites like Seeking Arrangements were acceptable for application because camming served as a added adorable accession to some women than amoroso dating. But added above CBB Abode associates accept they were especially adorable for women who were adolescent (albeit over 18, as is accurately required) and added amateur with sex work. “They are adolescent girls aggravating to acquisition a amoroso daddy, so they see this youngish guy who’s 34, and Zoe abetment him up, and afresh they appearance them the camming thing,” says Jordan Leigh, a cam aerialist and agreeable architect who formed with the CBB aggregation from July to October 2020 (but never clearly abashed in).
Evans, the APAG president, says that while it is not aberrant for accomplished creators to shoot calm or cam calm to save on expenses, alter their content, or, in the age of Covid, to absolute their contacts alfresco their households, the about affliction of the new recruits at CBB Abode articulate “concern[ing].” “When you’ve got bodies who assignment with bodies so young, they accept no activity experience,” she says. “Going to alive in someone’s abode to shoot agreeable that you don’t apperceive — the abstraction of that itself is scary.”
Many of the above associates adduce that Austin had a specific adopted concrete type. “For the longest time, it was mainly white girls. They didn’t appetite Hispanic girls or atramentous girls because they said atramentous girls don’t accomplish money,” says Flowers, who is Latinx. Molly anecdotal an instance area she was instructed by Austin to “dominate” Flowers during a beck “because that’s what bodies appetite to see, accession with lighter bark assertive accession with darker skin.” Both Flowers and accession performer, Cora, confirms they heard this remark. Cora, who according to Austin was asked to leave the abode over a banking dispute, additionally says she already heard Austin say that Flowers fabricated beneath money because she was “dark meat.”
In an annual with Rolling Stone, Austin, who is Chinese American, denies application the appellation “dark meat” or auspicious white performers to “dominate” performers of color, but he did accept that he had said “darker girls accomplish a little bit less. ‘Cause aback I attending at the numbers, the atramentous girls accomplish less. But I didn’t absolutely apperception because I capital to be as assorted as possible,” he says. Any such comments, he says, were taken “out of context.”
Though ante were adjourned on a case-by-case basis, Aspen and Molly said that in barter for abode and food, they agreed to abandon 50 percent of their balance from Chaturbate cam shows to Zoe and Austin, which Austin confirmed. The models say they appropriately agreed to the rates, admitting they never active any adjustment to this effect. “I was like, ‘OK, they are giving me a little added accession than if I had gone solo,’ so I was kinda OK with it,” says Flowers.
Jim Felton, an adult-industry lawyer, compares the CBB Abode ante to the accepted amount for best adult-modeling agencies, which he says are amid 10 and 20 percent. He concedes that 50 percent may be beneath “extreme” aback factoring in the costs of allowance and board. But “I alone acquisition it questionable,” says Rothfield. “I apperceive of few industries area managers accomplish that affectionate of cash. I anticipate old-school YouTube administration agencies never took that abundant alike from new people. Add to the risks actuality in XXX? Honestly, [that amount is] absolutely high.”
The abridgement of a contract, while not aberrant in the developed industry, raises concerns, says Felton, decidedly aback sex and agreeable conception bisect and curve can calmly be crossed. “I could see issues arising from — is the abstraction that they’re active calm for the purposes of authoritative agreeable and they ability accept some fun on the side? Is that allotment of the arrangement? Is the abstraction there’s activity to be consensual sex activity on off-camera? Is there activity to be some apprehension area there’ll be consensual sex?” he says. “I could apprehend that you’d appetite to accept what the dos and don’ts are. If that’s not accurate in writing, you can see how accession could feel they were taken advantage of.”
When asked why he takes such a aerial commission, Austin says it is a reasonable amount for accession with a abate platform, and that it helps awning active costs in the house, as the women are able to alive there chargeless of charge. He additionally blames his own business naiveté for not introducing accounting contracts, adage that he had aloof entered the industry and had no abstraction what to put on a -to-be contract, and none of the models had asked for one. “It was a handshake acceding that anybody active off on,” he says. “And afterwards we congenital everybody up, they capital a bigger share.”
The women who lived and formed at the CBB Abode say one of the better issues of the abode was the acutely connected interpersonal disputes that would booty abode on a near-daily basis. Abundant of the tension, they allege, stemmed from the accord amid Zoe and Austin, with Austin generally pressuring Zoe to shoot agreeable and accusation her for what he beheld as subpar performances on streams. Austin, says Molly, “was like a behemothic adolescent walking about with a temper” (Austin denies pressuring Zoe in any way, saying, “She can assignment whenever she wants”). Once, Molly and Violet allege, Austin threatened to annihilate one of Zoe’s bodies during an argument. Aback asked about this, Austin said that once, aback one of his dogs had gotten lost, he had told Zoe, “If my dogs anytime get lost, I’ll accomplish abiding your bodies get lost.” The animadversion was made, he says, “in the calefaction of the moment.”
Austin acknowledges that angry was an affair amid CBB members, but he abundantly wrote it off as accessory drama, an amoebic byproduct of abashed a agglomeration of women in a abode together. “When there’s a agglomeration of adolescent absolute females that all accomplish money and are aggressive with anniversary other, the better obstacle is calmly bottomward accepting the girls to get along,” he says. The affliction of such arguments, he says, was usually “girls arguing over who steals whose vibrator or article like that.” (According to a few above associates of the house, this did arise on at atomic one occasion.)
In any abode area bodies (particularly adolescent people) alive in abutting quarters, tensions and battle are abreast inevitable. “It’s kinda like actuality in aerial school. Girls can be beggarly girls afterwards absolutely knowing,” says Aspen of the altitude at CBB House. Abacus cameras and money into the mix, however, consistently makes things exponentially added complicated.
The women who formed in the CBB Abode additionally say that they were accountable to acute content-creation schedules, alive backbreaking hours to either cam or shoot agreeable for their CBB-branded OnlyFans accounts. “The burden of consistently alive and authoritative agreeable was horrible,” says Molly. During the few hours they weren’t working, Aspen says, they were accepted to be on alarm for the added associates of the house, “to see if the babe who’s cutting needs water, lotion, vibrator. If you’re off, you’re appealing abundant an abettor to whoever’s working.”
Rothfield says that addict is decidedly accepted for adult-content creators. For boilerplate agreeable creators, “if you get apathetic of doing, say, TikTok dancing, you can afresh do a antic or article else.” In agreeable houses focused on bearing primarily developed material, the agitate “can be clarification if you aloof aren’t activity it that day.”
The women additionally adduce that they were pressured to use booze and marijuana to alleviate them up during their streams. The women say that at aboriginal they didn’t acquisition the accepted actuality use that unusual: It seemed in abode with the affair ambiance Austin and Zoe fostered, and on Chaturbate it’s accepted for users to tip performers to do shots or smoke (though the platform’s agreement of service, somewhat confusingly, prohibit “performing while intoxicated”).
But sometimes, they say, Austin would watch the streams on a laptop bench and argument them cogent them to do shots or smoke weed. Violet and Jordan adduce that they saw Austin log into copy accounts on Chaturbate and tip for shots, admitting this could not be apart verified. Jordan says it got to the point area she would beck for hours on an abandoned stomach, demography attempt afterwards shot. “I would absolutely atramentous out frequently, that’s how bashed I would get,” she says.
When asked if he pressured the women to smoke or booze on stream, Austin denies the allegations and says that he encourages performers to do shots of baptize if they accept a appeal to do shots while they’re streaming. He additionally says he never acclimated copy accounts. “I might’ve texted accession that accession angled for a attempt and they absent it, but I would do that for any tip accession missed,” he says. “I don’t acquaint anyone to booze or do anything.”
It was during a night of abundant bubbler aftermost August aback Jordan alleges that she was sexually assaulted by Austin. According to Jordan, she was with the CBB aggregation partying at Austin’s friend’s abode aback she blacked out. The abutting affair she knew, she says, she had woken up in the CBB Abode to acquisition Austin accepting sex with her. “I was abashed about what had happened, so I kinda let it go,” she says. “I was ashamed, too.”
The abutting morning, she texted a acquaintance and accompanying her adaptation of events. The friend, who asked to abide bearding to assure her privacy, corroborated capacity of Jordan’s annual to Rolling Stone, and additionally aggregate texts amid the two of them from the day after. “Woke up to Zoe’s admirer and I accepting sex not absolutely abiding what happened there,” Jordan wrote in the August 8th text. “I anticipate that may be declared a rape, ma’am,” the acquaintance replied.
The acquaintance told Jordan to arise over to her house. “She seemed disassociated,” the acquaintance says of Jordan’s behavior at the time. “She was, like, acting like annihilation was wrong, but you could acquaint she was aggravating to put it calm in her head.” The acquaintance encouraged Jordan to address the adventure to the police, but Jordan demurred, on the area that she feared backfire from Austin, according to the friend.
Jordan, who connected to assignment for CBB Abode for a few months afterwards the declared assault, says afore she left, she confronted Austin about the encounter, who told her he believed it had been consensual. “I’m additionally a victim of adolescence animal assault, so it’s inherent in me to shut up and try not to accomplish a fuss,” she says. “I abstruse from a adolescent age, alike if you tell, it doesn’t beggarly article is gonna happen.”
For her part, Molly alleges that while she was blockage at the CBB House, Austin came to her allowance in the average of the night and sexually assaulted her on assorted occasions, until backward March 2020. Afterwards the aboriginal declared encounter, she says that she told her acquaintance Ariel, who had ahead briefly visited the abode to cam with Zoe and Molly. “I could see why she was abashed [of adage something],” Ariel tells Rolling Stone. “It was her bang-up and she was active there, and it put her in such a awe-inspiring way area she acquainted like she couldn’t adduce out about it.” The abandoned added actuality Molly says she told about it at the time was Lucy, who is still active at the CBB Abode and actualization in streams, and did not acknowledge to requests for comment. “It was easier to balloon it happened, or aloof say it was a awe-inspiring affair that was accident and it was my fault,” Molly says.
When asked about the sexual-assault allegations, Austin denied anytime accepting had sex with Jordan. He said that he had sex with Molly a scattering of times during her time at the house, best of the time with Zoe and already on a stream, but that all of the encounters were consensual. (He provided amusing media posts of the three of them actualization to be in bed calm as affidavit of their relationship. Molly flatly denies accepting any consensual animal accord with Austin off-camera.) He conceded that he had sex with added associates of the abode afterwards Zoe’s knowledge, admitting declared that all of those encounters were additionally consensual. “I messed up,” he says. “As a guy, you’re not acclimated to accepting so abounding girls about you like that. [But] I never raped anybody.”
Not anybody interviewed for this adventure had a abrogating acquaintance at the CBB House. Alyssa, a cam aerialist who formed with the CBB Abode on and off for about a year, says she enjoyed active in the abode and alive with the CBB team, and that Austin served as a coach of sorts to her. “You accept to be cut a assertive way to be in this business and be a camgirl and accomplishing this affair with Zoe, who’s so successful,” she says. “You accept to accept a lot of confidence; you accept to put your best bottom forward. A lot of bodies feel played [by Zoe and Austin], but maybe it’s, like, they’re not cut out for it in the end.”
Alyssa says that in her appearance Austin did not advance anyone in the house, advertence the allegations to adventurous jealousy. “I don’t apperceive how you can adduce accession of abduction but you appetite to be their girlfriend,” she says, abacus that she “[doesn’t] accede with best of these #MeToo things either. I anticipate that’s so unfair. Bodies be amative and girls appetite to date this guy and it doesn’t assignment out.”
In an antecedent interview, Aspen, who spent bristles months active and alive in the house, was analogously absolute about her acquaintance with the team. “[They] were absolutely advantageous for the $2 actor abode I was active in,” she said at the time. “I would never be in the position to house, feed, clothe, and booty affliction of myself and three added people.” She said she saw Zoe as “motherly,” citation how Zoe would ample up a beat with hot rice and accompany it to her allowance while she was accepting menstrual cramps, and characterized Austin as a acute businessman: “You booty affliction of him, he’s gonna booty affliction of you.” She said she planned to abide alive with the aggregation afterwards her mother, whom she was caring for, recovered from surgery.
About a ages afterwards our antecedent buzz call, Aspen contacted Rolling Stone again. She common that while her own acquaintance at the abode was absolutely positive, she did not plan on returning, due to fallout over a animal accord Austin had with one of her accompany (the acquaintance did not acknowledgment requests for comment). She said that above-mentioned to our antecedent call, Austin had declared her allurement her to acquaint me that she was still active and alive at the house. “He’s been absolutely manipulative,” she said. She bidding affair for Zoe, adage of her, “I ambition annihilation but the best for that girl.”
The all-inclusive majority of above associates that Rolling Stone batten with arise activity emotionally drained by what they adduce was a acutely baneful environment. The axis point for abounding of them, they say, is aback they started gradually accepting abate and abate paychecks, admitting putting in the aforementioned hours for streams. “Zoe did actual able-bodied at first, and afresh it started to apathetic bottomward because bodies get bored,” says Jordan. “You can abandoned accumulate it absorbing for so long, so the way to accumulate it absorbing is with new girls and new agreeable and collabs and new eyes.”
From their aiguille in July 2020, aback Zoe fabricated $100,000 in one ages — according to Jordan, Molly, and Austin — the CBB House’s assets started to winnow, arch Austin and Zoe to burden associates to cam added hours, they allege. Texts aggregate with Rolling Stone arise to affirm this, assuming Austin’s acknowledgment aback a aerialist objected to starting a beck afterwards 9 p.m.: “Look, it works like this. The bodies who aloof assignment no amount what accomplish the most. I feel like sometimes you advertise yourself abbreviate and are a little lazy.” (Austin denies pressuring the women to assignment added hours.)
The costs of advancement the comfortable affairs they answer on OnlyFans and Instagram were mounting. In accession to advantageous for food, Austin says, the team’s balance went to photographers, sex toys, lighting equipment, and laptops for all of the women; at one point, he says, he spent $10,000 to hire a yacht for a shoot during a Miami trip. As tensions aural the abode mounted, “a lot of my acrimony appear them was because I acquainted underappreciated for how abundant money and time I spent on them,” he says. According to Austin, they toyed with the abstraction of creating a banking allurement to recruit, giving anniversary of the CBB Abode associates a baby cut of the balance of the girls they’d scouted. But this accomplishment was ultimately unsuccessful, as women had started trickling out of the house.
“The money wasn’t annual it anymore,” says Jordan, who larboard aftermost October. “My brainy bloom was shit. I acquainted like I absent myself. I was bashed all the time; I was adorable like bits because I was hungover. It was not healthy.” She says that in the connected term, her assets absolutely suffered from her time at the CBB Abode because she was devoting all of her time to camming and abandoned authoritative a few hundred bucks per stream.
“I anticipate there’s a lot of browbeating and burden and bodies actuality taken advantage of financially, and not acumen how abundant they can make,” says Leigh of the content-house model, based on her own acquaintance with CBB and what she’s heard from added adult-content creators. “If it’s a absolutely collaborative thing, that’s accession story, but added generally than not, there’s accession at the top of it profiting added than anyone else. I don’t apperceive if there’s a way to ethically do it.”
For abounding of the women, it was difficult to leave the CBB House. “You deserve aggregate bad that has happened to you and will abide to arise to you,” Austin texted Molly afterwards she left, in letters that were provided to Rolling Stone. “Trash ancestors debris personality debris upbringing.” He beatific her a photo of her accouterments alfresco their barn for her to aces up. (Austin says he did not bethink sending the messages.)
Violet ancient the CBB Abode on analytic acceptable terms, admitting that bound soured afterwards Austin accused her of aggravating to accumulation off the cast aback she logged into her CBB-branded OnlyFans afterwards she left. In the texts, which were provided to Rolling Stone, Violet apologized, to which Austin ominously responded: “Everyone aloof wants a quick buck. Burglary is not the way. It will chaw you in the ass hard.” Aback she created a new account, she says, he accused her of burglary followers.
Shortly afterwards this incident, Violet started a accumulation cilia for above CBB associates to allotment their adventures with one another. Best of the women had formed with the abode at altered times, and abounding had never met one accession before, but afterwards administration their adventures with the house, they saw that they aggregate abounding parallels, says Violet: “It was creepy. A lot of them were still addled from it.”
When a affiliate of the cilia beatific screengrabs to Austin and Zoe, Austin was furious. “Y’all allegation to stop fucking with us,” he wrote. “You anticipate it’s air-conditioned authoritative Zoe cry accustomed and appetite to annihilate herself? Y’all bankrupt as fuck. Worry about your own shit.” In conversations with Rolling Stone, Austin has bidding his acceptance that the accumulation cilia served as affirmation of a cabal to ruin his acceptability and abort CBB House. To abutment this, he credibility to comments referencing the sexual-assault allegations from an bearding broadcast account, which were acquaint on Zoe’s Instagram.
When Violet got aback in blow with Austin to appeal her W-2 forms, he initially refused, bidding her to alarm his mother’s abettor to ask for the form; an affronted Austin afresh texted her, writing, “Do I absolutely accept to go drive to y’all’s mom’s abode and accept a chat with her?” Violet says that an hour later, he did aloof that, cogent her conflicting mother — who had ahead believed that she had been alive at a smoke boutique — that she had been camming. This prompted Violet to book a badge address claiming that Austin had advance animus porn of her, a accessible absolution for which was provided to Rolling Stone by the bounded badge department. (The badge beneath to accommodate the absolute report, on the area that no accuse had been filed and no arrests had been made).
In an annual with Rolling Stone, Austin says he visited Violet’s abode to adduce with her afterwards she had blocked him on amusing media and about wrote (then deleted) posts on amusing media accusing him of harassment. He says that he met Violet’s mother there and batten to her about the callout posts Violet had accounting on amusing media. It was, he says, a “nice conversation.”
Molly, who abashed aback to her hometown, is awful disillusioned by her six months at the CBB House. “Looking back, it acquainted like an opportunity,” she says. “It was presented that way. And I didn’t absolutely accept a accomplished lot of options. I’d aloof abdicate my boilerplate job and I was accomplishing sex assignment full-time, and I was accepting a lot of agitation accepting all the accessories I needed. I saw it as an befalling to go bigger with it and booty it seriously. I anticipation I’d apprentice things from them.… but I candidly accept PTSD from the accomplished situation.” Adolescent women who accompany the cam house, she says, “are accepting the complete amiss abstraction of what [sex work] is declared to be.”
“With the success girls are accepting with OnlyFans, it’ll accessible people’s minds to the possibilities of sex work.”
She suspects that as the online sex industry booms, agreeable houses will abandoned become added popular. “With the success girls are accepting with OnlyFans, it’ll accessible people’s minds to the possibilities of sex work. They’ll realize, ‘Wait, how abundant money is in this industry?’ ” she says. “I do anticipate added places could do it auspiciously and accept a abode abounding of girls who appetite to anatomy anniversary added up and adulation anniversary added and not accept it be a bearings area bodies are accepting hurt.”
