From the Church to the Top 0.01%: How Kit Barrus Built a Sex Empire on Her Own Terms

Ivy Ireland had never tried anal before her first ever scene on camera. Not only did she take it like a pro, she found that she loved it, and after a multi-orgasmic scene Ivy was already asking for a double penetration. That was her first week in the industry.Now two and a half years later she is performing for the biggest names in the business, co-directing full feature films, and about to drop a DAP (double anal penetration) she shot earlier this year with Johnny Darkko. She explains why this scene is one of the most physically and creatively demanding things she has ever done, and why it was all worth it.Plus, the unbelievable story of Ivy's devout Christian friend strapping on a dildo in her pants just to fake a blowjob angle for OnlyFans, why anal is easier on her body than vaginal, and how she and Vince Carter built a creative partnership that goes way past just performing together.She is funny, completely unfiltered, and knows exactly who she is. Watch the whole thing.Sponsor & LinksHuge thanks to SC World for sponsoring the show!Follow them at instagram.com/scworld.officialFollow Holly Randall on all platforms: Hollylinks.comSubscribe for more exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes content from the adult industry! patreon.com/c/hollyrandallunfilteredBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/holly-randall-unfiltered--6630320/support.

She grew up Mormon, left the church at 19, put herself through college working at a law firm, earned a degree in mathematics, and built an OnlyFans career that landed her in the top 0.01% of the platform. Kit Barrus known as Kit the Beefcake is not the girl the industry expected, and she's completely unbothered by that.In this episode, Holly and Kit get into everything: what it was really like leaving the church, how she made $10K her first month with just 30K TikTok followers, and how she used a "stunt dick" from her college sailing team to level up her content. They also go deep on predatory OnlyFans agencies the high-pressure signing tactics, the 50% cuts, the likeness clauses, and why most of those contracts don't actually hold up in court.Plus: Kit breaks down what it actually takes to make real money on OnlyFans (hint: it's a year of free content before you ask for a dollar), Hollywood's complicated relationship with the industry, and the story of a $3,000 AUD male escort in Australia who side-fingered his way to disappointment.Huge thanks to https://www.youtube.com/@scworld.official for sponsoring the show!Follow them at https://www.instagram.com/scworld.officialFollow Holly Randall on all platforms Hollylinks.com Subscribe for more exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes content from the adult industry! https://www.patreon.com/c/hollyrandallunfilteredBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/holly-randall-unfiltered--6630320/support.

Stella Barey didn’t exactly follow the traditional path from pre-med student to adult industry icon, but then again, traditional paths are overrated. She joins Holly Randall Unfiltered to talk about how she got here, what she’s built along the way, and why she decided the industry needed a better platform.That platform is Hidden, a creator-owned space built by sex workers for sex workers, and Stella breaks down exactly what that means in practice: better discovery tools, less burnout from self-promotion, and actual financial ownership for the people doing the work. If you’ve ever wondered why creators on traditional platforms spend half their time marketing themselves off-platform just to drive traffic back to it, Stella has answers.She also opens up about studying philosophy and public health, growing up with a mother who is a doctor specializing in sexual medicine, and how both of those things shaped the way she thinks about pornography, sexuality, and personal agency. This is a fascinating conversation with an incredibly intelligent woman that’s worth hearing.Huge thanks to https://www.youtube.com/@scworld.official for sponsoring the show!Follow them at https://www.instagram.com/scworld.officialFollow Holly Randall on all platforms Hollylinks.com Subscribe for more exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes content from the adult industry! https://www.patreon.com/c/hollyrandallunfilteredBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/holly-randall-unfiltered--6630320/support.

Taylor Vixxen spent two decades climbing the corporate ladder as a VP in finance. Now she’s captivating a very different kind of audience, and she’s done it on her own terms. The former executive didn’t just leave corporate America behind; she walked straight from a high-stakes world of hundred-million-dollar transactions into one of the most competitive spaces in adult content. She’s navigated the moment her Mormon-run company discovered her OnlyFans, watched her professional image transform in real time, and recently hit a milestone that most people would find either jaw-dropping or deeply enviable: earning an AVN MILF Performer of the Year nomination within her first two years in the industry.Taylor is humble, resilient, and refreshingly unguarded. She talks openly about her journey from a sexually repressive marriage to hosting lifestyle events across the country, and the clinical precision she now uses to manage fans who mistake fantasy for reality. She has a philosophy for everything  including how to handle internet trolls and the bizarre world of custom video requests, like faking a heart attack for a surgeon and she delivers all of it with the calm perspective of someone who once managed life-altering financial decisions.Huge thanks to https://www.youtube.com/@scworld.official for sponsoring the show!Follow them at https://www.instagram.com/scworld.officialFollow Holly Randall on all platforms Hollylinks.com Subscribe for more exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes content from the adult industry! https://www.patreon.com/c/hollyrandallunfilteredBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/holly-randall-unfiltered--6630320/support.

Ellie James spent years keeping people alive in the ICU. Now she’s keeping a very different kind of audience riveted and she’s done it on her own terms.
