On a recent Zoom call, while discussing her work as an adult-content creator on OnlyFans, Cherie DeVille burst into tears. She explained that one of her most loyal subscribers, Simon, had died a few months before.
DeVille had formed a relationship with Simon on the subscription platform for two years, chatting with him regularly — often daily. She helped him bring his sexual fantasies to life but also discussed his everyday life, his hobbies, and his terminal cancer diagnosis.
"He'd request videos of us saying, 'Fuck cancer, we love you,'" DeVille said, referring to herself and other creators Simon interacted with on the platform.
