Actor Daniel Newman, 39, best known for his appearances in The Walking Dead and web series Eastsiders, has launched an OnlyFans account.
The bisexual performer posted a couple of jokey social media posts before Christmas suggesting he might start using the fan-subscription service, but if he did, the images would be photoshopped or super old ones, “like I do on Tinder.” Despite these caveats, the response from many was a resounding: “Do it!”

What perhaps started as a joke then became reality. On Christmas Day Newman announced that OnlyFans had been in touch with him about his postings and invited him to create an account…. And he decided to run with it.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“I just joined #ONLYFANS! Link in BIO .

Yesterday, he revealed the account (which began by offering a limited number of free subscriptions but now charges fans $4.99 per month) had got off to a roaring start. He indicated OnlyFans had told him he was in its top 3% of creators.
I can’t believe you just made my account TOP #3 Globally!! I’m HONORED❤️! https://t.co/0DhgPOlwa4 pic.twitter.com/wgqwumyLZQ

He also indicated he was open to sending more NSFW content to anyone who tipped him via a DM.
“The NSFW ones are in the DMs!!😏 ***I’m getting tons of DMs so if you need a reply just send some Christmas TIPs💰 in your DM and it will move Your Message to the TOP of my DMs box so it will show Up 1st for me to read and reply to you… I will get right back to you 😏 😜😘😘❤️❤️ (And feel free to keep sending me pics!!

In launching an OnlyFans, Newman follows in the likes of the aforementioned Cardi B, model Blac Chyna, and actor Michael Jordan, who have all launched accounts in recent months. Jordan launched his OnlyFans to help raises funds for a barbers school.
Actress Bella Thorne reportedly broke the OnlyFans record for new subscribers when she launched an account in August, earning a reported $1million within 24 hours. That success has led other well-known figures to consider using the site.
However, Thorne’s success also came with controversy. She charged $200 to fans for particularly revealing images. This led to OnlyFans introducing a capped fee for how much creators could charge for photos – to the great dismay of many sex workers and other adult content creators who previously used the site to sell exclusive, highly-priced photos to followers.

I’m pretty much cool on this dude. There was the tone-deaf whining about being masculine and “straight-passing”. There have been multiple stories about him harassing straight identifying guys and being obsessed with closeted dudes and overall hetero-leaning dudes. And when he’s talked about his struggles, journey and dimensions he hasn’t said anything outside of purporting identity politics and constantly reminded folks he ain’t “gay”.
I’m certainly not against celebs and pseudo celebs getting an OF, but I do find it somewhat scammy and tacky. That’s a space sex workers made popular. And these people giving folks their tame pics and videos just dilutes the platform and makes it more difficult for actual sex workers to get attention and make money.

This guy is a whack job.

He also gives away more money than you’re ever going to earn, so let us know when you catch up.

@Roy Ajax
The right wing troll account ALWAYS attacks LGBTQ people who are out.
barryaksarben
Who in the world is a bigger whackjob than AJAX? His whole existence is coming on these sights to complain about gay guys . Now, if he is supposedly straight it should be obvious he is buried in the very back of the closet with the stench of mothballs as REAL straight men dont come here. And it is even worse if he is gay as it shows a self loathing on a truly EPIC scale. Im sure he comes here and gets angry which then allows him to jack off to get his day started thinking he has somehow “owned the gays”. You have to laugh at how transparent he is and he doesnt even see it

I actually laughed at the j*ck off comment. You and your buddy Cammy are both very wrong because I’m not straight, and I don’t hate myself. I guess that’s the easy thing to say and think because it’s so shocking, apparently, that a gay man has a different opinion than your own.
Cam
@Roy Ajax
Awww, it’s adorable when right wing troll accounts try to hide bigotry and anti-LGBTQ hatred behind the words “different opinion”.
Oh, and sweetie, if you’re going to use multiple screenames to troll, be careful using the same nickname that you’ve called me under two other screenames. It really exposes that this is just another sock puppet account.

If you’re not showing the goods stay the f**k off only fans.
Donston
It just feels desperate and manipulative if you’re not truly willing to “go there”. Tyler Posey is using butt shots and exploiting half-naked women to sell his account. These celebs (and pseudo celebs) are definitely taking advantage of their status to make a few extra bucks and get an ego boost.
barryaksarben
Knowing all these sorta celebs are on the site I have never bothered to even check it out. There are so many places to see dick if that is what you want that there is no need to go to this site ever

How is this even news?
Creamsicle
Because queerty is a gossip blog, not a news site. Why else do you think 40% of posts are recaps of what happened on twitter and reddit?
revashayne
Who’s next? Nico Tortorella? Keiynan Lonsdale?
Alex_S
Aaron Schock, most likely.
Mister P
Yawn. Who?
bridyyc
Desperation is strong with this one. They called your “team?” Dude, your only credit in 2020 is a minor part in a play reading on Youtube and in the 2 years prior, 2 episodes of Eastenders. You don’t have a “team.” I have a 2021 prediction. Full on Onlyfans dude on dude porn within 6 months.
Jazz
I came here to laugh at the “my team” bit as well. Give us a break mate

Maybe you’re not aware that the majority of his money comes from real estate. He invested his earnings wisely and now lives comfortably off the income from it. In fact, he gives away TONS on his socials…that I’m sure you’re not familiar with. He’s going to do the same with his OF earnings. Check yourself.
bradleyphillip
This is just so lame. No other way to put it. The guy seems like a real catch though. If you send him money in his DM’s
lol
Aaron
Pass.

Daniel Newman says he’s “too lazy to bottom” but he might consider it “if I got married”. = Idiot.

Didn’t this guy tell his whole ordeal of getting a covid test back in February or March, 2020? He’d been exposed at Sydney Mardi Gras and then jumped the line at the ER, and got charged something like $5k without ever getting the test result, if I remember the post right.
Aside from that. I think film and television celebrities using OF is tacky. If you have an agent and real bargaining power in entertainment, then you don’t need a patreon for your bare ass. If you want to do sex work at that point, you can do it through a personal website. That way you won’t be taking business away from sex workers who need the platform.
I’m sure OF is all for it though, since it’s good marketing for them.
Donston
He’s presenting doing a non-explicit OF as some favor to his “fan base”. But outside of his small role in The Walking Dead he hasn’t done anything. Half of these public figures who are going the OF route are doing so because they can’t keep up with their expensive lifestyle and habits and/or because they want the promotion and attention, not as some favor to their fans. The fact that most of them are treating OF like they’re doing charity and giving back to their fans is extremely tacky and privileged, especially since every day sex workers are genuinely depending on it.
There’s also persistent rumors that he specifically looks to pay for “straight” identifying dudes, closeted dudes and dudes with girlfriends or wives. While he expects guys who are unabashedly into guys to give him attention, money and keep him relevant. There was the complaining about being masculine or “straight passing” and pretty much saying that “gays” are effeminate and overtly “queer”. While the whole Covid/emergency drama seemed like a way to get headlines and social media likes.
He’s talked about drugs and depression in the past. It’s apparent he’s dealt with stuff like traumas, addiction, fluidity, contradictions, paraphiliacs, internalized homophobia. So, I don’t want to be too hard on him. But he keeps coming off tacky, manipulative and tone-deaf.

From bad actor to bad porn performer.

So people would pay to get the same pictures he posts on the internet. Fans are crazy.
doodymofongo
new year’s wish! can we vote this DOLT off of QUEERTY ISLAND? Do we really need to hear anymore about him? is ANYONE interested in what he is selling? his ICK factor is overwhelming.
spacecadet
I’ve already heard several people complain and show evidence that the pics Newman was sending them after they signed up to his Onlyfans and tipped him were of other models. One particular pic was of a Sean Cody model and that website has been tipped off that Newman is basically using their material to pass it off as himself. That’s pretty shameful that he’s scamming his fans like this to make a quick buck.
