OnlyFans star Lily Phillips slept with 100 men in just 24 hours

December 11, 2024

Lucy Devine, writing for Unilad;

An OnlyFans star who slept with 100 men in one day broke down in tears while discussing her experience.

Documentary maker Joshua Pieters followed OnlyFans star Lily Phillips as she embarked on a stunt to sleep with 100 men in just 24 hours.

But it seems the challenge took its toll on Lily, who broke down in tears at the end of the stunt.

It’s been reported that Lily Phillips earned a whopping £2 million, around ₱148.6 M, for stunt. The earnings comes mainly from her 36,000 Only Fan subscribers, who were able to livestreamed/watched the stunt in its entirety.

The math;

24 hours in one day, 60 minutes in one hour. This translate to 1440 minutes in one day, so each man she’s having s*x with have roughly 14 minutes. If you factor in the earnings, she earned £20k each man she slept with.

Watch the D23 Brazil Trailer of Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts* will be in Theaters on May 2nd, 2025

November 11, 2024

“We are the THUNDERBOLTS*!”

The fact that the schedules of Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts* are so close together, makes me think that there will be a big connection between the two films.

Either same villain or the aftermath of the events in Captain America: Brave New World will require some cleanup, and Valentina Allegra de Fontaine is tasked with doing it. That could be the reason for the asterisk (*).

My theory… by the end of Captain America: Brave New World, there will be “TO BE CONTINUED ON THE THUNDERBOLTS*!”
