Jessie Cave dropped from Harry Potter fan convention due to OnlyFans account
Jessie Cave - who played Lavender Brown in Harry Potter - has claimed she was barred from a fan convention because of her OnlyFans account.
Jessie Cave has claimed she was barred from a Harry Potter fan convention because of her OnlyFans account.
The 38-year-old actress - who played Lavender Brown in the final three films of the wizarding series - joined the subscription site in March but found it "baffling" to be shunned from the event as a result because she insisted her content on the adults-only platform is not sexual yet actors who have filmed explicit scenes are still welcome.
She wrote on her Substack: "I found out that I didn’t get booked for a Harry Potter convention recently, as I’m now doing OnlyFans.
"They explained it was because it’s a 'family show and OnlyFans is affiliated with porn.' This was baffling to me as some actors who do conventions (most actors, actually) have done TV and films in which they’ve done sex scenes and nudity. I’m just playing with my hair!"
While Jessie fears she has been "cancelled" from the Harry Potter fandom, she isn't too upset because it is a "different time" and she's ready to hand over the baton to a new generation, including Sienna Moosah, who will play Lavender in the upcoming HBO TV series.
She said: "I am not upset about the prospect of no more Harry Potter conventions.
"There’s going to be a new cast now, and it’s a different time. Plus, I have done conventions for over 15 years and have enough photos and wizard memorabilia.
"Excessively quirky one woman shows with puppets aren’t that lucrative, and some years, the money I got from signing photos of my face was the only real money I made. I am very lucky I got to do them. It’s time to move on and play some new characters."
The Great Expectations actress - who has four children with partner Alfie Brown - announced in March she was launching a page on OnlyFans which would offer “the best quality hair sounds” and “very sensual stuff.”
But she later stressed that her account was "not a sexual one" on her Before we Break Up Again podcast, noting that although it appeals to those with hair fetishes, “fetish doesn’t necessarily mean sexual.”
