Jessie Cave, best known for her role as Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter franchise, has shared an update after announcing she joined OnlyFans to post "sensual" hair videos.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday (August 14), she shared the following stories in regards to her OnlyFans:
Cave previously explained that her videos will feature "the best quality hair sounds" and cater to viewers with hair fetishes, but she made it clear that her content would not include any sexual material.
Cave clarified on her Before We Break Up Again podcast, “I am launching an OnlyFans, it’s not a sexual one. It’s a fetish. Fetish doesn’t necessarily mean sexual.”
She also discussed her motivation for joining the platform during an appearance on her “Before We Break Up Again” podcast, where she emphasized her intention to use it as a means of self-empowerment and to help get out of debt.
She shared, “My aim? To get the house safe, cover the arsenic/lead wallpaper, build a new roof etc. My aim? To get out of debt. My aim? To empower myself? To prove to those in the past who have misjudged me that I’m not so sweet? To put time into something I never invested in before: self-love.”
Cave also reflected on her years of experience at Harry Potter conventions, joking that they may have served as “research” for this new venture. She admitted, “It feels like I’m doing something naughty, something a little f–ked up. I like that. Ripping up the good little actress rule book.”
A New Chapter for the Actress
Cave, who debuted as Lavender Brown in 2009’s Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and reprised the role in Deathly Hallows parts 1 and 2, has appeared in other projects such as Great Expectations, Black Mirror, and Industry. She also voiced Lavender Brown in two Harry Potter video games.
The decision to join OnlyFans comes as Cave, like many others in the entertainment industry, turns to the platform as a way to supplement her income and engage with her audience in new ways. The platform has become a popular choice for various celebrities, including singer Lily Allen and The Sopranos actress Drea de Matteo, who have used it to connect with their followers and overcome financial challenges.
Embracing the Unconventional
For Cave, this move to OnlyFans marks a shift from traditional acting roles into an unconventional avenue that allows her to embrace personal empowerment and financial independence. Her candid and unapologetic approach to joining the platform highlights her desire to take control of her career and life, leaving behind the expectations others may have had for her.
