OnlyFans breakout creator Avery Skye is speaking publicly for the first time about what she calls one of the most disturbing production scams the adult creator economy has ever seen. The highly promoted reality show “Next Top Porn Star,” billed as the sexy, high-gloss “America’s Next Top Model of adult entertainment,” has imploded under accusations of fraud, manipulation, unsafe conditions, and the non-consensual release of hundreds of explicit videos. What was marketed in early 2025 as a celebrity-backed, well-funded competition series quickly devolved into what Avery Skye describes as “manipulation, gaslighting, and exploitation disguised as fame.”

The show was filmed in Los Angeles in spring 2025 and presented itself as a professional stepping stone for women hoping to build careers in the adult space. Instead, Avery says contestants were trapped in cramped housing, pressured into escalating sexual challenges, misled about financing, and ultimately betrayed when producers leaked their explicit footage online. “It wasn’t just a bad production,” Avery told The Blast. “It was manipulation, gaslighting, and exploitation disguised as fame.”

According to Avery, the chaos began before the cameras even rolled. Producers abruptly changed the shooting location just days before production began, leaving contestants with no idea where they were going or what they were walking into. The mansion they were eventually placed in, marketed as a luxury filming location, was anything but.

Avery says up to six women slept in a single walk-in closet, with no ventilation, no privacy, and no fire escape. Food was limited, filming stretched into the early morning hours, and internal tension escalated so severely that contestants allegedly witnessed signs of domestic violence between the show’s creator and director. “We’re smart, capable women,” Avery said. “We didn’t sign up to be lied to, starved, or violated.”

Producers had pitched “Next Top Porn Star” as a major industry debut: a promised June 2025 release, a $100,000 monthly advertising budget, and a high-profile host falsely claimed to be Riley Reid.

None of it existed.

Behind the scenes, Avery says the financing was fake, timelines were fabricated, and credentials were exaggerated. Although recognizable adult creators such as Elly Clutch, Kazumi, Violet Myers, Ricky Johnson, Ryan Pownall, Money Birdette, and Gal Ritchie made guest appearances, the production itself was falling apart.

“This isn’t gossip. It’s evidence,” Avery said. “Every lie, every threat, every broken promise is documented.”

Despite the chaos behind the scenes, contestants were still expected to complete the explicit weekly challenges that the show was built around, all of which were filmed, catalogued, and kept under the production company’s control. Each episode featured a personality-based mini-game followed by a sexual challenge drawn from a prompt box on set called the “P-ssy of Power.”

Avery says the challenges escalated rapidly, beginning with solo explicit videos and progressing into handjob scenes, titty-f-cking tasks, blowjob scenes, kink content, and eventually several full themed sextapes. Contestants were repeatedly told that their accumulating points would determine the winner and that the footage would remain private unless the show aired. According to Avery, that promise was shattered.

Avery says internal group chats between production members and some contestants reveal racist comments, blackmail attempts, and documented strategies to manipulate participants into compliance. Still, contestants continued performing, believing the show would eventually debut, until the money ran out. Only one episode was released in October 2025, and by November 9, the entire project was cancelled amid infighting and mounting debt. “They used our ambition against us,” Avery said. “Every promise was a lie that cost us time, money, and dignity.”

By the time “Next Top Porn Star” shut down, unpaid debts had reportedly surpassed $400,000. Promised pay vanished, communication broke down, and contestants were left wondering what would happen to the explicit content they’d created under the belief it would be used only if the show aired. They soon got their answer.

After a dispute between producers and a contestant, someone associated with the production publicly released a Dropbox link containing hundreds of explicit videos, including raw footage, behind-the-scenes clips, and all challenge recordings. The leak included more than 150 videos and countless hours of private material. “This was an unconsensual distribution of pornographic material,” Avery said. “That’s not a scandal. It’s a crime. When they released our footage, it wasn’t just unethical. It was criminal.”

Avery and at least ten other creators are now preparing to move forward with a legal case against Off Screen, the production company behind the failed reality series. Together, they have compiled a substantial body of evidence, including contracts, group chats, screenshots, internal production documents, photos, recorded calls, and hours of video footage, which they believe clearly supports their claims.

Avery plans to pursue legal action for fraud, breach of contract, and the non-consensual distribution of explicit content, all stemming from what she describes as a pattern of deceit and exploitation. “If they thought we’d be too ashamed to fight back,” Avery told The Blast. “They misjudged the wrong group of women.”

For Avery, “Next Top Porn Star” isn’t just one disastrous production, but it’s a symptom of a larger issue within the adult creator ecosystem. “The adult industry is evolving faster than the laws protecting the people in it,” she said. “The promise of exposure is one of the most dangerous currencies in entertainment.”

Avery emphasized that adult performers are trained professionals, not content machines. “It’s easy for the public to forget that adult creators are professionals, not disposable content machines,” she said. “This isn’t just one show. It’s a mirror held up to a much bigger problem in how creators are treated.”

Avery says she left the set shaken but motivated. “I left that set exhausted, scared, and heartbroken,” she said. “But I also left with evidence, and that’s something they can’t erase.”

Her goal in speaking out now is clear. She wants to protect other creators from exploitation disguised as opportunity. “Consent isn’t negotiable,” Avery said. “They crossed that line and kept walking. When I look back now, I can’t believe how much we tolerated just because we trusted them.”

She added, “We signed contracts, not our rights away.”
