>Tricia Helfer is in her "take charge" era.

>About a month ago, the Lucifer and Battlestar Galactica alum, 52, soft-launched her OnlyFans page. Now, she's going public about her decision to "take the stigma off a lit bit."

>"At my age, I am in my 'do what I want' phase of life," Helfer tells PEOPLE. "I'm tired of being told what to do and how to do it. I'm looking at it as something to have fun with and something that I can be in control of."

>Helfer says her content will feature a mixture of professional photography and self-shot photos and videos, as well as livestream Q&As.

>"I'm keeping with my brand — albeit the sexier side of my brand," she says. "It'll be a mix of artistic shots with great photographers and pictures and videos of quiet and silly times at home feeding my goats or weeding my garden. I posted a picture [recently] of me out in my garden watering my plants and I had my work boots on, but it was hot outside so I was in a bikini."

>"I enjoy shocking a little bit," she adds. "Would I shock my parents with the images? Probably. But they saw [me in] Playboy, and they appreciated why I had done it. My passion is my job as an actor, and I'm using this platform as an extension of my creative, fun and flirty side."

>The X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) will live-stream the 42nd Annual XRCO Awards on Sunday, May 24 via Skyhawk After Dark, marking the third consecutive year fans worldwide can watch the industry-only event.

>

>Beginning shortly after 6 p.m. PST (9 p.m. EST), viewers can tune in at SkyhawkAfterDarktv.com to watch live red carpet arrivals, exclusive celebrity moments, award presentations, and all the on-stage action as the adult industry’s brightest stars gather in Hollywood to celebrate excellence in adult entertainment.

>“Pillow Talk” podcast host Ryan Pownall is receiving industry-wide backlash following a series of disturbing incidents that occurred at a party he hosted Thursday in Miami.

>Held in a lavish four-bedroom home valued at $2.2 million, “Miami Kickback” was billed as an opportunity for industry members to relax and unwind following a busy three days at XBIZ’s spring convention.

>Instead, guests found themselves sprinting for safety—even climbing fences and locking themselves in bathrooms—when a man brandished a gun after he was jumped and beaten in the kitchen. Two women were seen crying after a man allegedly followed them into a bedroom, locked the door, and propositioned them for sex.

>And numerous female talents expressed frustration at the presence of IRL streamers who peppered them with demeaning comments and questions during livestreams viewed by millions worldwide. The most notable streamer was 20-year-old Clavicular, who has built his brand on hateful rhetoric while making national news numerous times in recent months for everything from shooting alligators to nightclub altercations with females to hardcore drug use.

>Winners of the 2026 XMA Creator Awards were revealed Wednesday evening during a live ceremony at M2 in Miami Beach. The event, presented by Fansly, was hosted by Elly Clutch and Girthmasterr.

>“There’s just a lot that’s ridiculous and cartoonish about it,” Sydney Leathers, an OnlyFans creator since 2017, tells Variety. “There’s so much that they have her doing that is not even allowed on OnlyFans, and that alone is infuriating: the age-play stuff where she’s dressed as a baby in a diaper, for example. Credit card processors have very strict rules that you have to abide by, and the rules are getting stricter all the time.”

>“That speaks volumes to me about why this OnlyFans storyline is being represented in the way that it is. It’s not being taken seriously,” says [Maitland] Ward. “It reminds me of when I pranced around in lingerie on ‘Boy Meets World.’ It’s just the guys in the writer’s room coming up with their fantasies. To take someone so traditionally blonde and beautiful with the biggest boobs and dress her up as a dog and baby is really bizarre, but at the same time so expected in Hollywood.”

>“Sex workers in general, myself included, tend to be hyper-sensitive about the way Hollywood portrays us because it’s almost never nice,” says [Sydney] Leathers. “It’s always absurd or depressing and rarely ever on point. When you’re part of a marginalized community, it’s easy to get upset about certain portrayals of it.”
