Poised To Dominate, Sexual Assault Allegations Resurface Against Owner of JustForFans

With Only Fans’ announcement that it will ban adult content beginning in October, Dominic Ford, owner of Just For Fans, reminded sex workers and their fans his platform is the only serious alternative for them to migrate to. And performer Tannor Reed reminded everyone that Ford sexually assaulted him last year.

The owner of JustForFans, Dominic Ford, sexually assaulted me in May of 2019. Nothing has happened to him, but he has been suing my friend who came to my defense since I came forward over a year ago.

In statement last week, JustFor.fans said, “Just For Fans is number two in traffic to OnlyFans, and we are well-poised to make sure adult content creators are not abandoned. We welcome them all to our website. We believe we have the most innovative platform out there, and are constantly evolving to meet the needs of our community. We welcome everyone to check us out.”

JFF also accused OnlyFans of using the “the adult industry to cut their teeth and then abandoning them once they reach critical mass. JustFor.fans was founded and built by and for sex workers and its staff is 100% comprised of sex workers and people who have been in the porn industry for many, many years. We are a porn site. That will never change and we have no interest in ‘mainstreaming.’”

Tannor wasted no time responding: “I came forward over a year ago about the owner of this company sexually assaulting me. He has been trying to sue my friend for defending me since. I will blame no sex worker for trying to live, but I am unable to associate with anyone who chooses to use this platform. Peace & Love.”

Last year the Daily Dot said  JFF was the only real contender to OnlyFans and attributed much of its success to Ford: “Tired of OnlyFans? You might want to check out a rising competitor on the market. JustFor.Fans is a popular sex worker-run adult fan site where viewers can check out their favorite adult models’ photos, videos, and cam shows. But how does it work exactly, and is it a good OnlyFans alternative? Here you’ll find everything you need to know about the service, including our in-depth JustFor.Fans review. JustFor.Fans (also called “just for fans” or “just fans,” depending on who you talk to) was launched by sex worker Dominic Ford predominantly by and for adult industry members. It’s not quite a household name, but if you’re an adult performer or consumer looking for a more dedicated adult industry fan site, it’s a top recommendation for an OnlyFans alternative.”

Daily Dot: “JustFor.Fans is an ‘adult blogging platform and marketplace.’ The site functions like a mix between ManyVids and Tumblr, although its main appeal comes from purchasing monthly subscriptions to adult models’ feeds and keeping tabs on their photos, videos, and more. The platform differs from its competitors by offering a more comprehensive adult experience. The site lets viewers watch performers’ cams, purchase clips, order items from stars, pay for sexting, buy access to performers’ Instagram or Snapchat, and more. It also lets users filter for models based on gender and genres, encouraging user exploration on the site. Additionally, JustFor.Fans isn’t as strict with kink bans as its competitors AVN Stars and OnlyFans. Lactation, water sports, asphyxiation, fisting, ageplay, and incest roleplays are all allowed. (Hypnosis porn, however, is still banned.) This makes it a fantastic OnlyFans alternative for both fans and models.”

The brainchild of adult male performer and director Dominic Ford, is an “adult blogging platform and marketplace,” similar to OnlyFans, but the site functions like a mix between ManyVids and Tumblr, although its main appeal comes from purchasing monthly subscriptions to adult models’ feeds and keeping tabs on their photos, videos, and more. JustForFans posits itself as a more “comprehensive adult experience.” One that allows “viewers watch performers’ cams, purchase clips, order items from stars, pay for sexting, buy access to performers’ Instagram or Snapchat, and more. It lets users filter for models based on gender and genres, encouraging user exploration on the site.”

“Sales have gone up for sure, I would say around 10-15%,” Ford, who is also the CEO of JustForFans, told NewNowNext in March. “Tipping is up as well, as I think fans are really making an effort to support their favorite performers. Content posts are also up, as models realize this is now an important lifeline for them.”

But, according to Edge Media, “while the site is benefitting by what is known as ‘quarantine horniness,’ Ford has become a target of social media outrage with accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior by two of his former performers, as well as attempts to “stifle those performers and their friends from speaking out against him,” according to a report from Str8UpGayPorn (NSFW), which reports on the gay porn industry. In June, adult performer Tannor Reed (who has worked with both OnlyFans and JustForFans) tweeted “a lengthy and detailed account of several experiences he had both professionally and personally with JustForFans owner Dominic Ford. Near the end of the statement, Reed accuses Ford of sexually assaulting him in May of 2019 during an adult industry event in Miami, Florida,” according to an earlier report from Str8UpGayPorn. Reed also accused Ford of getting jealous and aggressive with a model that Reed was flirting with.

“A few days after Reed’s claim, performer Justin Stone also accused Ford of raping him in a hotel room in May of 2019, and that alleged assault occurred in London, a few weeks after Ford allegedly raped Reed in Miami. writes Str8UpGayPorn. Both Reed and Stone had appeared with Ford in videos at least once, and Stone had a close, if contentious relationship with Ford. Back in April of last year, Ford tweeted a photo of him and Stone with the caption, “Like any good daddy, I’m taking the boy to Disney.”

On June 20, Stone received a “pre-suit” notice from Ford’s attorney, threatening to sue Stone for defamation unless Stone deleted tweets accusing Ford of abuse.

Following the accusations, Ford released a statement via his lawyer: “Dominic Ford categorically denies all allegations of sexual assault. My office is currently exploring a legal response to the false assertions. Accordingly, I have advised Mr. Ford not to make any further statement at this time.”

In closing, Reed  added, “Additionally, no pictures or videos of me are to be published on JFF, under any circumstances. If we have filmed content together and you are switching to this site, please do not post our content. Thank you.”

Thus far while many performers have expressed support for Reed, the fact remains that there is no real competitor to JFF once OnlyFans bows out.
