Jessie Cave, known for her role as Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter film series, has disclosed that she was barred from participating in a fan convention due to her content on OnlyFans. The actress revealed this surprising development through her Substack account, stating that the event organizers cited the platform’s association with adult content as the reason for her exclusion.
Cave initially joined OnlyFans in March 2023 to share niche content focused on her hair, aiming to alleviate her financial burdens. In her announcement, she clarified that her offerings would not include explicit sexual material but would feature “hair sounds” and “very sensual stuff,” showcasing her well-known blonde locks. This unique approach attracted attention, as she remarked, “I do get lots of interest in the hair thing, and I just thought, fuck it, I’m gonna do something that is very niche.”
Reaction to the Ban
The decision to exclude Cave from the upcoming event was communicated to her directly, with organizers emphasizing that it was a “family show” and that OnlyFans is linked to pornography. In her Substack post, she expressed her confusion over this decision. “I found out that I didn’t get booked for a Harry Potter convention recently, as I’m now doing OnlyFans,” she wrote. “They explained it was because it’s a ‘family show and OnlyFans is affiliated with porn.’”
Cave raised an important point regarding the inconsistency in how different actors are treated. She noted that many actors who participate in conventions have performed in films and television shows that include sexual content. “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,” she stated. “I’m just playing with my hair!”
Looking Ahead
Despite her exclusion, Cave remains unfazed by the ban. She has attended numerous conventions over her 15-year career and expressed no disappointment about missing out on future Harry Potter events, especially with the announcement of a new cast for the upcoming HBO television series. “I am not upset about the prospect of no more Harry Potter conventions,” she wrote. “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.”
Cave’s decision to launch an OnlyFans account reflects her desire to explore new creative avenues while managing her financial responsibilities. She views this move as an empowering moment, marking a shift from her previous, more traditional acting roles. “I really am choosing to think of this as an empowering moment for me,” she added, highlighting her desire to redefine her public persona.
As she continues her journey on OnlyFans, Cave is likely to keep her followers updated through her Substack, offering insights into her unique content and experiences. The actress has embraced this new chapter in her career, showcasing her determination to carve out a space that reflects her individuality.
