It’s not exactly a secret that some creators on OnlyFans use “chatters” (people who help manage and respond to messages). But a lawsuit claiming this practice was a massive fraud just had a very bad day in court.
A federal judge has dismissed a closely watched lawsuit accusing OnlyFans and several creator-management companies of running a so-called “chatter scam.” The judge ruled that the claims didn’t even meet basic legal standards.
For anyone unfamiliar:
👉 An OnlyFans chatter is someone authorized by a creator to manage DMs, engage subscribers, and help with fan interaction. This is a common and openly discussed practice in the industry.
The lawsuit was brought by subscribers who claimed they believed they were always chatting directly with creators and argued that using chatters amounted to fraud, privacy violations, and even racketeering (RICO).
The judge wasn’t buying it.
⚖️ Key takeaways from the ruling:
• The court found no evidence of fraud or a coordinated scheme
• Routine account management ≠ criminal activity
• No illegal wiretapping or unauthorized data access was plausibly alleged
• OnlyFans’ Terms of Service explicitly disclose that creators may use third-party managers or agents
• Because of those disclosures, subscribers couldn’t reasonably claim deception
The ruling was a significant legal win for Elite Creators (Creators Inc) and other agencies named in the case.
💥 And here’s the twist:
The plaintiffs’ law firm was sanctioned $13,000 after the judge discovered that court filings included AI-generated, completely fake legal citations. One attorney admitted to using ChatGPT and failing to verify the sources before submitting them to the court.
The judge refused to let the lawyers quietly fix the errors, noting that defendants had already spent time and money responding to the flawed filings.
While plaintiffs were given one last chance to amend their complaint, the message from the court was clear:
➡️ Using chatters is not hidden, not illegal, and not fraud when it’s disclosed — and OnlyFans does exactly that in its terms.

This ruling is a major setback for claims that the OnlyFans ecosystem is built on deception — and a cautionary tale about relying on AI without doing basic legal homework.
