8 Nov 27th-Dec 3rD, 2025 phoenixnewtimes.com PHOENIX NEW TIMES | NEWS | FEATURE | FOOD & DRINK | ARTS & CULTURE | MUSIC | CONCERTS | CANNABIS | Business was booming, according to Skidmore’s complaint. The account has generated more than $5 million for the couple, who are in their early 30s. It currently has 2,000 posts and more than 1,100 “fans,” or subscribers. During its peak, Skidmore claims, the account gener- ated between $80,000 and $150,000 in monthly revenue. It was so successful that the couple was able to purchase a Gilbert home worth more than $1.1 million through their shared LLC, S & P Networks, according to Maricopa County Assessor’s Office records. ‘It gets very messy’ But in November 2023, the couple broke up. Still, they shared the business, which is jointly owned by their individual LLCs. Initially, Skidmore remained involved in the account, but Jennings began slowly excluding him from “day-to-day business operations,” his complaint says. She stopped the couple’s LLC from distrib- uting money to Skidmore within two months. By March 2024, Jennings had completely excluded Skidmore from the business by changing the bank account linked to OnlyFans payouts and restricting his access to the account, according to his complaint. Skidmore continued to make appear- ances in Jennings’ content after they broke up, but his last appearance seems to have been in early February, two months before his access was cut entirely. The OnlyFans account never mentioned that Skidmore was no longer involved in the business, and the account remains active under Jennings’ control. Skidmore says he asked for his access to be reinstated, with no success. Lonstein, whose firm is aptly dubbed OnlyFirm, says that kind of drama isn’t uncommon among OnlyFans performers. Couples working together is common as it’s “safer than randoms,” he said. But when a couple parts ways, it becomes a conflict both personally and profession- ally. He said it’s important for the couple to establish a business contract outlining who owns what — though Skidmore and Jennings appear to have done so — before turning private escapades into a money- making venture. “It’s a relationship conversation,” Lonstein said. “Nobody wants to have that conversation, but when you’re in this business, you’re mixing business with your relationship. So it gets very messy.” In the aftermath of their split, Skidmore claims the business has suffered a significant loss due to his lack of involvement. Skidmore claims the account also hasn’t been raking in as much cash in his absence — its monthly revenues significantly plummeted by as much as 60-70% or “even more than that,” the lawsuit says. That’s not surprising, the suit claims, because Skidmore’s “backend and promotional efforts were indispensable drivers of the company’s success.” Whether that’s true remains to be seen, though Lonstein says many similar cases don’t reach trial. “It’s going to prob- ably be in the best interest of everybody here to settle this case,” the lawyer said. Alternatively, Jennings could also take what Lonstein calls the “nuclear option” and completely stop making content or create a new account, trusting her subscribers to follow her there. That would seem to be a viable option for Jennings, giving her other social media accounts. Under her stage name, Jennings has a whopping 5.8 million followers on her main Instagram account, with another 187,000 on her secondary account. She also has another 766,000 followers on her X account, which she created in April 2014. While a judge would have to decide whether migrating accounts would make the lawsuit moot, Lonstein thinks it would do the trick. “The biggest leverage point is you can’t force somebody to create content,” he said. “If somebody wants to completely move the account and make a new one, then that other person’s SOL. You’re going to take a hit, but it gets you free and clear.” Love Lost from p 6 Alex Lonstein calls himself the OnlyFans Lawyer. (Alex Lonstein)
