Hollyoaks actress sacked after posting OnlyFans pics

[Tisch]

Not sure if this belongs here or in TV but feel like it's fodder for a good old DEBATE so in here it goes.

Sarah Jayne Dunn: Hollyoaks star axed over Only Fans photos

Sarah Jayne Dunn, who plays Mandy in the TV soap, refused to stop offering photo subscriptions.

www.bbc.co.uk

She's been on the show on and off since 1996 so not some two-bit B-character. She's done lads mags in the past and her OF is simply for her "raunchier" photos. Now I HAVE NOT SEEN the offending material, but if it's anything like the OF contents others from the Reality TV circuit have been producing, I imagine it's more softcore TITS OUT rather than full muff? @big ron to confirm please.

Hollyoaks are defending their decision by saying a lot of their Target Audience are under 18, therefore posting any content on adult sites is a sackable offence. It seems like they asked her to remove them and she refused hence the sacking. She calls it "taking back control".

It has got me thinking, if I stumbled across any of my colleagues' OF's, what would the policy here be? Is it "your body, your choice?" or are you expected to represent your company somewhat by what you put online? Especially if your job is already in the public eye?

I see it the same as drug use. If you’re not doing it at work and it’s not affecting your job, it shouldn’t matter.

Also everyone sees porn before they’re 18, and it has nothing to do with who’s on tv.

 

[big ron]

According to StolenFans its just a bit of occasional nip.

 

[RJN]

Because of where I work, I try not to post anything illegal on social media, but I still don’t think I’d be fired if I did.

Yeah exactly, no one under the age of 14 is watching hollyoakes, and by then you're wanking yourself into next Wednesday anyway, so whats wrong with a bit of celebrity tit to egg you on. Probably be good for ratings.

 

[GNL]

I mean isn't starring in Hollyoaks a few steps above INTERNET PORNOGRAPHY on the shame scale?

 

[GNL]

It feels hypocritical knowing the shows publicity was 90% Nuts shoots and Cosmo centrefolds.

But they were always bra-on so they were classy and intellectual.

 

[Inner Smile]

This is like axing Tony!

 

[Jark]

This is like axing Tony!

right! Mandy is a HOLLYOAKS ICON. had no idea she was back, thought they'd killed her off.

 

[ButterTart]

I held on to the FHM with the students in for far longer than was respectable. It was Joanna Taylor, Niki and that sort of frisbee faced one with the big glasses. She scrubbed up surprisingly well.

 

[ButterTart]

thought they'd killed her off.

No, you’re thinking of every other character.

 

[Ellie]

Mandy was STILL on Hollyoaks?

 

[Ellie]

Doesn’t she have a bit part in The Dark Knight?

 

[Inner Smile]

She came back in 2017, Luke and Zara Morgan are also back x

GOBSHITE ZARA is back? Has it ever been explained how she had a totally different accent to her brothers, despite growing up with them? Same question to Steph Dean.

 

[Inner Smile]

Doesn’t she have a bit part in The Dark Knight?

Yes around 3 seconds

 

[GNL]

Yes around 3 seconds

I remember her doing the UK daytime TV circuit to promote the film

 

[rhythmbandit]

Unless you keep your eyes peeled then you'll never know she was there.

There were rumours she was going to play Harley Quinn but it never came to fruition.

Rumours she started herself, I'm going to assume

 

[Kate]

I posted this in the Hollyoaks thread earlier but obviously no-one reads that

Did Mandy never have a special name on Lowculture?

 

[dmlaw]

I’m shocked by this news. I thought that when a Hollyoaks actress got her bobs out, she was immediately rewarded with an improved contract and a juicy storyline where her new boyfriend turns out to be a serial killer.

 

[BoysForSeles]

I’ve never seen Hollyoaks but opened this thread praying Kelle Bryan hadn’t self sabotaged.

 

[Kate]

This surely can't be the first time it's happened? I thought whatserface that nobbed Ronaldo was a Snu favourite for starters.

 

[octophone]

I wonder if they'll kill her off just to be spiteful. A few soaps have done that, just to be cunty.

Oh, and Hollyoaks is still running? No wonder the country is in the state that it is.

 

[Whatevar]

Remember when they used to do those late night slightly racier hollyoaks episodes where they had sex and flashed their bums?

 

[SystemAddict]

I DO LIKE that people think Hollyoaks is STILL in 2003. It’s probably the best soap at the moment with a diverse cast with good gay, trans, non-binary, and autistic representation.

There’s also plenty of campness including Kéllé Bryan’s character wishing she had been in a 90s R&B girl band, someone referring to Jamelia as a “superstar” and Linda Gray playing a matriarch called Tabby after Joan Collins turned down the part.

I hope Nana McQueen won’t be axed due to her saucy calendar.

 

[Inner Smile]

I wish it still was in 2003, so much better back then

 

[lolly]

I wish it was 2003. I could still get the Hollyoaks Hunks calendar

[lolly]

'Taking back control' is a bit Brexity for my liking, but good for her, I guess.

My mum inexplicably put Hollyoaks on last night when I went round for dinner and we just sat mesmerised at the screen for a good ten minutes dumbfounded by how ludicrously awful the acting was. One particular girl gave the most vacuous “I love you” to her girlfriend I’ve ever seen it was almost as if she’d been hired because she was pretty rather than because she was an actual actress. I mean can you imagine

 

[Funky]

Jark was that an intentional irony, it made me laugh anyway

There was a clip of Kelle Bryant that went viral because it was HARD HITTING and IMPORTANT a while back and it was SO badly acted.

No, Jark is a fan. I remember him saying on Buzzjack

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I wonder how much you even EARN as a Hollyoaks actor these days. I'm sure for some it must be around the 30K mark tops.
She's probably started earning MORE from her OnlyFans account, and will see the press from this (one of the most read stories on BBC News today) swiftly turn into a LUCRATIVE MARKETING OPPORTUNITY for herself

 

[monsta]

This is honestly so bleak.

 

[monsta]

Annieways I’m here for a WILL MELLOR ONLYFANS

 

[Inner Smile]

I'm sure for some it must be around the 30K mark tops.

Yes I think this is about right

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Unrelated, but can Myles from Rak Su open an OnlyFans please, surely it's about TIME!
