Social media platform OnlyFans claims that a debatable new rule limiting the amount of content that can be rated has nothing to do with Bella Thorne’s high-profile addition to the site.

The former Disney Channel star Thorne, 22, took to Twitter Saturday to say she was “truly sorry” for the new rule and to explain herself in a series of tweets.
“I tried to draw attention to the site, the more people there were on the site, the more likely it was to normalize the stigma, and by trying to do that, I hurt you,” Thorne wrote. “I have risked my career many times to remove the stigma of sex work, pornography, and herbal hatred that other people spit over all things sex.”
Thorne added: “I’m a mainstream face and when you have a voice, a platform, you try to use Array… with others and you advocate for something bigger than yourself. this procedure hurts you and for that I am very sorry. “

USA TODAY contacted OnlyFans for comment. But the social media platform told NBC News that the adjustments were not based on a single user.
“Transaction limits are set to help avoid overspending and allow our users to continue to use the site safely,” he said. “We appreciate all feedback since the implementation of this update and will continue to review those limits.”
