3 articles · Updated · Variety · Aug 21

Summary

  • Jessie Cave said on ITV's “This Morning” that launching an OnlyFans account last year helped pull her out of debt and cover rising childcare costs.
  • The “Harry Potter” actor said people wrongly assume she is wealthy from playing Lavender Brown, but called it a small role from 20 years ago and described herself as a struggling artist.
  • Cave said the account lets her keep making one-woman puppet shows and other work, adding she wants less shame around using the platform to fund art.
  • Her OnlyFans, launched in May 2025, focuses on hair-fetish content rather than sexual posts; months later, one “Harry Potter” fan convention barred her, citing the platform's link to porn.
