It’s fairly common for adult-content creators on social media to get kicked off various platforms, even if they’re not doing anything that violates terms of service. It’s so common, in fact, that there’s a thriving black market of third-party vendors who are willing to get influencers’ accounts back for a fee. One enterprising creator, however, says she found a far more effective way to get her Instagram account back after it was removed: By having sex with a Meta employee. And then, when her account was removed again, she found another employee, and did it again. Kitty Lixo , an OnlyFans model, podcast host, and adult-content creator who had more than 150,000 followers before her account was recently removed by Instagram for a fourth time, recently went viral for an interview she gave on the podcast No Jumper . When asked by host Adam22 what the sluttiest thing she ever did was, Kitty recounted sleeping with a Meta employee (someone she already knew) to successfully … [Read more...] about Meet the OnlyFans Creator Who Said She Slept With Instagram Employees to Get Her Account Back

"I'm so happy that people know your name and that beautiful face of yours and they know what a hero looks like."

Idris Elba finds himself the target of a murderous lion in the trailer for Beast , a new thriller hitting theaters this summer. In the trailer for the film, Elba portrays Dr. Nate Daniels, a widowed dad of two teenage girls who takes his family on a sightseeing trip to the South African game reserve. However, their journey quickly becomes bloody as the family and Daniels’ wildlife biologist friend (played by Sharlto Copley) come face-to-face with the massive apex predator hellbent on killing every human it encounters. “I’ve got to get my girls out of here,” he says. “I’m coming back.” The insane trailer for the movie — which is like Jaws crossed with The Ghost and the Darkness —closes with Elba’s character engaged in hand-to-paw combat with the lion, with Elba even punching the titular beast in the face. “What begins as a journey of healing jolts into a fearsome fight for survival when a lion, a survivor of blood-thirsty poachers who now sees all humans as the enemy, … [Read more...] about ‘Beast’: Watch Idris Elba Fistfight a Vicious Lion in Trailer for New Thriller

Inspiration can come from the most unanticipated places, like walking the dog in the park or buying a soft pretzel at the mall. For Morgan Cooper , it came in 2019 while driving down Route 71 in Kansas City, Missouri. Heading home after shooting a low-budget beauty commercial, Cooper concocted a plan to turn ’90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air into a gritty short film, with Will Smith ’s iconic character reimagined as an unlucky Philly teen who gets caught with a gun during a playground brawl. Rather than face a certain future behind bars, his Uncle Phil works some attorney magic and arranges for Will to start over in the wealthy Southern California neighborhood where he would attend an elite private school. Filmed in eight days with hometown actors and locations in Kansas City and Burbank, the three-and-a-half-minute potboiler was never meant to serve as a grassroots resume for a gig in Hollywood; Morgan just wanted to have some fun. “I built my career on … [Read more...] about ‘Bel-Air’ Director Morgan Cooper’s Life Was Turned Around By A Three-And-A-Half Minute YouTube Video — Deadline Disruptors

SPOILER ALERT: This story contains details about the series premiere of the NBC dramedy series This Is Us . Dan Fogelman ’s This Is Us has been tugging at heartstrings ever since the first trailer was released in May, amassing a staggering more than 100 million views ahead of the show’s September debut. The dramedy’s official description:  an ensemble — some of them sharing the same birthday — whose life stories intertwine in curious ways, was designed to protect the twist at the end of the premiere.
