HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—Lauren Phillips is featured in the documentary TMZ Presents: The War Over OnlyFans and is part of the advertising campaign; her picture is also available on Hulu.
Last week, Fox aired TMZ Presents: The War Over OnlyFans, which is now available to stream on Hulu. TMZ interviews multiple current and former OnlyFans creators, while a live audience votes on whether the platform is toxic or a lifeline for wealth and fulfillment. The documentary includes an interview with former University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Chancellor and tenured professor Joe Gow and his wife, Carmen Wilson—known as the Sexy Happy Couple on OnlyFans.
Gow gained widespread attention after being fired and fighting for his job, following his outing as an adult performer. His story made national headlines, as did photos and videos of adult actress Lauren Phillips, which were shared online and in print around the world. Although Phillips has never kept her work in the industry a secret, her entire family now knows she works in adult entertainment. Now she wants to tell her story and how it affected her life, too.
Said Phillips, "It was wild how this just kept gaining traction. It was getting some attention, and then it was everywhere and just kept snowballing. It seemed like just a regular scene and a cooking segment when I filmed it."
Phillips continued, "My grandmother found out that I work in adult—she was the one person I really tried to shield from this. My parents always knew, and I wasn’t so concerned about my other relatives. Since the cat is out of the bag, I want to tell how all this affected me too."
Phillips is also featured in the new book A Perfectly Wholesome Scandal, penned by Gow and Wilson. Their tweet on X reached over 34,000 people and mentioned Phillips.
