Actress Bella Thorne bragged about being the first celebrity on OnlyFans on Sunday via her Instagram account.

Except Thorne wasn’t the first celebrity to join OnlyFans. Superstar rapper Cardi B joined OnlyFans at the beginning of August to share behind-the-scenes content for her fans and model Blac Chyna started one back in April. Thorne jumped on the bandwagon at the end of August.

“Everyone jumping on OnlyFans but I took the hit for doing it firsttttt coooool,” Thorne wrote on her stories, according to Page Six.

“Legit everyone in my newsfeed following in my footsteps,” she added. “But when I was getting heat y’all were scared. This keeps happening to me hahahah.”

Thorne isn’t wrong about taking the “heat” for joining OnlyFans. Her appearance on the content sharing subscription service received backlash after she broke a record by earning $1 million in a single day. While a majority of the content shared on OnlyFans is sexually explicit, it’s unclear exactly what Thorne has been sharing on the app. (RELATED: Bella Thorne Makes $2 Million On OnlyFans In 1 Week)

Thorne apologized for joining the site after she was criticized for selling a “nude” picture for $200 — that was not, in fact, nude, according to Page Six. Afterwards, OnlyFans capped tipping at $100 and now only allows users to charge their fans $50 to view a post.

“I wanted to bring attention to the site, the more people on the site the more likely of a behind sex work, porn, and the natural hatred people spew…behind anything sex related,” she said on Twitter at the time. “I wrote and directed a porn against the high brows of my peers and managers because I WANTED to help with the stigma behind sex.”

I feel like as hard as Thorne tries to do the right thing, she always ends up sticking her foot in her mouth. She really should listen to what other people are saying. You can’t go around saying that you’re the first celebrity to join OnlyFans when in reality you were just the first celebrity to anger the people who make money off OnlyFans.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
