The All-American Rejects frontman is stripping down, musically and otherwise, for fans online.
Tyson Ritter has always leaned into his wild side, but now he’s taking that energy to OnlyFans. The 41-year-old lead singer of early-2000s alt-rock darlings The All-American Rejects announced he’s launching an OnlyFans account ahead of the band’s newest single, “Easy Come Easy Go.”
Set to drop June 5, the track will be accompanied by an “uncut” version of the music video, exclusive to his OnlyFans.
“This record feels raw, so I figured, why not show some skin—literally,” Ritter said in a statement. “Call it full-frontal rock ‘n’ roll. Shoutout to Burt Reynolds.”
What’s on the Menu?
According to Ritter, fans can subscribe for free and get access to exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, glimpses into his songwriting process, and tour content, including cameos from his bandmates and backstage moments from the group’s surprise “House Party” tour.
Ritter hinted that he may charge “69 cents” for some posts, just for the humor of it. “We’ve always had a tongue-in-cheek attitude, so why not add a little zipper action?” he joked to GQ.
But this isn’t just a stunt, Ritter is trying to push back against the growing inaccessibility of live music.
“I’ve heard of fans getting credit cards just to afford concert tickets. That’s insane,” he said. “We’re not trying to bleed people dry with overpriced VIP meet-and-greets. This is about access.”

Disrupting the System—Again
Long known for their infectious hits like “Swing, Swing” and “Dirty Little Secret,” The All-American Rejects haven’t released new music in five years. That changed in April with the release of “Sandbox.” Now they’re back on the road with an intimate tour that includes stops in Minneapolis, Nashville, and California.
Their upcoming summer tour will also feature dates with the Jonas Brothers, giving fans even more chances to catch Ritter and company in action.
Ritter says part of the fun is in surprising people. “No one thought we’d be back, let alone making waves again. So the question became: how can we shake things up? That’s where OnlyFans came in.”
Whether or not you’re ready for rock star nudity with your nostalgia, one thing is clear: The All-American Rejects are back, and they’re not playing it safe.
Fans React
The internet wasted no time weighing in on Ritter’s latest career move, and reactions range from amused to adoring.
On X (formerly Twitter), longtime fans of The All-American Rejects are calling the news “Tyson Ritter starting an OnlyFans was definitely not in my 2025 bingo card lmfaooooo.” One user wrote, “If it’s not called Dirty Little Secret then that is the biggest missed opportunity” Others displayed total show and joked about the timing of the news, “This is literally a recession indicator, but at least we’ll get new music from it.”

He told GQ that the decision was all about breaking down barriers: “This is about flipping the script. The music is vulnerable, so why not make the experience just as raw?”
In a digital era where authenticity is currency, fans seem more than ready to pay attention, even if the price is cheekily set at 69 cents.
Emmy-nominated producer Patrick McDonald, known for his work on Bravo’s Real Housewives franchises and Vanderpump Rules, has publicly shared that his engagement with adult content on OnlyFans led to his estrangement from the network. In a pair of 9-minute videos posted on social media, McDonald detailed the fallout, claiming his collaboration with Bravo halted shortly after he launched his OnlyFans account in August 2024.
McDonald Opens Up About His Decision
McDonald, who used the username ThiccTrick1 for his OnlyFans content, was candid about the risks involved in his decision. “I’m not an idiot. I knew there was a chance when I started making adult content it could jeopardize my work with Bravo,” he said. However, he questioned why his career was impacted while several on-camera talent associated with Bravo, including Larsa Pippen and Denise Richards, appeared to have maintained their own adult content ventures without facing the same consequences.
“I’ve seen on-screen talent have similar accounts without issues, but as soon as I did it, my opportunities with Bravo disappeared,” McDonald pointed out. He suggested a double standard in the way the network treated producers versus its on-camera personalities.
The Reality of Reality TV Work Conditions
In addition to the impact of his OnlyFans activity, McDonald also criticized the behind-the-scenes environment in reality TV production. He recounted the harsh working conditions faced by producers, such as long days and grueling international travel. McDonald noted that these demanding schedules eventually led him to explore other career paths, including adult content creation.
“My passion for the genre started to wane as a result of how poorly the cast and crew were treated at times,” McDonald said, citing frequent 22-hour flights followed by full shooting days with no rest.
A Controversial Incident Sparks Change
McDonald also discussed an incident involving a cast member’s personal life, which he implied was related to Real Housewives star Kyle Richards. Although he didn’t name Richards directly, McDonald hinted at the ongoing rumors about her relationship with country singer Morgan Wade. He alleged that the producers pushed a storyline involving the cast member’s sexuality, despite the individual wanting privacy.
“The circumstances around that storyline were a major contributing factor to me realizing that it was time to make a change,” McDonald explained. He described the internal discussions as “insensitive, problematic, and quite frankly gross,” adding that he didn’t agree with the attempt to out someone without their consent.
Transition to Adult Content
After witnessing the work-life balance of his friends in the adult entertainment industry, McDonald began contemplating a career change. “Honestly, adult entertainment is something I’ve been interested in doing for a long time, but I was too scared to do it because of the fear of what other people might think,” he said.
Despite the professional fallout, McDonald expressed no regrets about his shift into adult content creation. “Sex work is real, legitimate work, and it has been since the dawn of time,” he emphasized.
McDonald’s experience isn’t unique. He highlighted how other Bravo personalities, like Pippen and Richards, have ventured into platforms like OnlyFans without facing significant backlash from the network. This inconsistency in how Bravo handles adult content creation has raised questions about the network’s policies.
His claims also echo a broader trend in the entertainment industry. Last August, X-Men 97 creator Beau DeMayo was also reportedly let go after creating adult content. McDonald’s story adds to the conversation about how adult entertainment ventures impact professional opportunities in mainstream media.
As of now, Bravo has not responded publicly to McDonald’s allegations.
Roman Mercury, a popular adult film star, has passed away at the age of 45. The news of his death was confirmed by his close friend and fellow adult performer, Greg Dixxon, who shared the heartbreaking information with Out magazine. Dixxon, who had worked alongside Mercury in numerous adult films, also revealed personal details about the talented performer, shedding light on his character and legacy.
Mercury’s passing was first made public on February 27 in an emotional post by Dixxon on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). “With profound sadness, we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of @romanmercury_,” Dixxon wrote. “Roman left us unexpectedly, leaving behind a legacy of passion, talent, and kindness that touched the lives of so many around the world.” He continued, noting that Mercury’s family would spread his ashes in the ocean near his favorite place in Southern California. “Roman, you will always be missed, but never forgotten!” Dixxon added.

Due to the informal nature of the announcement and the tragic news of another adult performer’s death that followed shortly after, Mercury’s passing did not receive the immediate attention it deserved in the media. However, Dixxon later spoke in greater detail about his friendship with Mercury, offering a more intimate understanding of the man behind the performer.
Born in São Paulo, Brazil, Mercury had spent many years living and working in the United States. His career in the gay adult film industry flourished as he starred in 89 films for major studios. Over the years, Mercury built a devoted following of fans, amassing over 400,000 followers on X/Twitter, as well as popular pages on platforms like OnlyFans and JustFor.Fans. He was also poised to receive his first-ever GayVN Awards nominations in 2025.
Dixxon, who first met Mercury in 2010, shared fond memories of their time together, both on and off the set. “I was first attracted to him by his signature black arm band; the tall, dark, handsome Brazilian looks; and, after chatting, his charm,” Dixxon recalled. Their first night together, they filmed a scene, but the chemistry between them wasn’t limited to the camera. Afterward, they went to In-N-Out Burger, where they bonded over dinner and got to know each other better. “Roman was married to a man whom he loved dearly, had an interest in music production, and had a gymnastics training background,” Dixxon shared. “I thought to myself, ‘Isn’t this 6’2″ muscle man a bit tall for gymnastics?’”
However, the man behind the captivating performer had also faced personal challenges. Dixxon shared that Mercury’s husband tragically passed away the previous year, a loss that deeply affected him. “Sadly, Roman’s husband passed away last year, leaving him lonely and crushed,” Dixxon explained. “Even in the midst of this loss, Roman was very persistent, intelligent, and organized.”
Dixxon further revealed that Mercury’s cause of death was hypertensive cardiovascular disease, which led to a heart attack. “Although his physical heart had issues, his spiritual heart always shined by helping others,” Dixxon said. “I’d like to believe that he is now in the heavens back with his husband.”
Beyond his work in adult films, Mercury was known for his professionalism and passion for his craft. Dixxon described him as someone who “made a big statement in the adult film industry with his professional studio shoots and collaboration fan-page work.” Mercury was also known for his willingness to learn and grow within the industry. “His goal was to entertain the viewer with something memorable,” Dixxon said. “And being smart, he wasn’t a know-it-all. He was willing to learn and share experiences, which helped other creators.”
One of Dixxon’s most cherished memories with Mercury was during a dinner at a Palm Springs restaurant. After filming the Grabbys-nominated Executive Order with Raging Stallion director Steve Cruz, Dixxon and his partner Bruce Jones took Mercury to their favorite restaurant, The Tropicale. There, Mercury surprised them by speaking Russian to the waitress, revealing that he spoke four languages, including Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian. He had learned Russian while training for gymnastics in Russia.
The last time Dixxon saw Mercury in person was at the AVN Awards in Las Vegas, just weeks before his death. Although they had planned to go out that night, the two never did. In a final text message, Mercury had referred to Dixxon as his “favorite daddy” and expressed excitement about changing the roles in their upcoming shoot. “That was the last time I saw him,” Dixxon recalled, visibly emotional.
Mercury’s death marks a tragic loss for the adult film industry, as well as for the many fans and colleagues who admired him. His legacy will live on not only through his films but through the personal connections he made along the way. As Dixxon concluded, “Roman was so much more than his work in the adult industry. His legacy shall live on.”

In a whirlwind of surprise, Dan Benson, who previously played Zeke on Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place, shared his bewilderment on TikTok upon hearing about the series’s revival.

The last thing Benson expected was for the series to get a revival over a decade later.
“Oh boy what have I done?” he joked in the video shared online.
“I waited like 13 years, jusrt waiting around… as soon as Dan becomes a p*** star let’s reboot Wizards again.”
Benson then pondered the fate of Zeke’s character in the sequel. “Did they recast him? Is there going to be someone else playing [him]?”
The former Disney actor shared on TikTok how he “tripped and fell” into the world of adult online content. Threatened with leaked nudes, he decided to take control and ventured into a career that proved more lucrative than his acting residuals.
“I look back fondly on my time as an actor, but I could not make a living to save my life. So, if you’re wondering why I got into adult entertainment, I basically couldn’t afford medicated food for my dog.”
Selena Gomez and David Henrie reunite in the newly announced sequel on Waverly Place. Remember the charming Justin Russo? Henrie is slipping back into his wizard robes for the lead role and waving his producer’s wand alongside Gomez, who’ll dazzle us with a special guest appearance.
Rick grew up in the cornfields of Nebraska, and Griff is from Simpsonville, South Carolina. They met at a gym in Atlanta, Georgia, when Rick applied to be a personal trainer at the club Griff managed.
Today, the pair also have very successful OnlyFans, and JustForFans accounts and recently opened an online store. You can learn more about the couple by listening to our interview with them on the Pride Podcast below.
