Former WWE superstar Dani Palmer is making waves with her recent comments about OnlyFans, a popular content subscription service. During a candid chat on the "Refinery Movement" podcast, Palmer didn't mince words. The wrestler, who left WWE this past May, labeled the platform as "twisted and evil," expressing her concerns about how it's perceived as a tool for women's empowerment.
Palmer argues that the platform, which enables creators to sell content directly to fans, is more of a trap than a liberation. "Doing OnlyFans is not women's empowerment. It's sick, twisted, and evil," Palmer stated. She went further by saying, "OnlyFans is marketed as women taking control of their bodies, but when you look closer, it's not empowerment at all – it's a trap. It's slavery – slavery to attention, to validation, to never feeling like you're enough."
“True freedom doesn't come from selling pieces of yourself to the highest bidder.”
Palmer didn't stop there. She aimed her critique at Mandy Rose, a fellow former WWE star who was released by the company in December 2022 after officials discovered her subscriber-based content. Rose's decision to join OnlyFans turned out to be financially lucrative, as she reportedly became a millionaire within a month post-release.
On the same podcast, Palmer expressed her disapproval of Rose's trajectory. Rose has publicly claimed she blazed the trail for former wrestlers looking to monetize their brand online. "It seems that one girl [Rose] has become the trailblazer for this route. She even called herself that in her last podcast titled ‘I Started the WWE to OnlyFans Trend,’" Palmer noted, raising concerns about the message this might propagate.
Despite her success outside the ring, Rose has expressed a willingness to return to WWE, though it remains unclear if or when that might happen.
