Yo, LA fam, we've got some piping hot tea straight from the wizarding world! Jessie Cave, who brought Lavender Brown to life in the Harry Potter flicks, just dropped a bombshell on her Substack. The actress claims she was straight-up banned from a recent Harry Potter fan convention - all because she's got an OnlyFans account.
Cave, who first charmed us in 2009's 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' and returned for both 'Deathly Hallows' epics, shared her shock at the decision. Apparently, the powers-that-be decided her side hustle wasn't family-friendly enough for a show rooted in magic and wonder. Talk about a plot twist!
This ain't just any Hollywood gossip - it's a clash of old-school values and modern hustle, right in the heart of Tinseltown where reinvention is the name of the game.
Dishing the deets, Cave wrote about the convention organizers' reasoning, and it’s got that classic Hollywood hypocrisy vibe. According to reports from Collider and The Hollywood Reporter, she was told, 'It's a family show and OnlyFans is affiliated with porn.' But Cave ain't buying it, pointing out that plenty of actors at these cons have bared it all in TV and movies with steamy scenes and nudity.
'I’m just over here playing with my hair, while others have done full-on spicy scenes, and somehow I’m the problem?'
Back in March, the 38-year-old clarified her OnlyFans is all about her luscious locks - no NSFW content here, folks. Still, she admitted on Substack to feeling a tinge of shame for joining the platform, especially after 18 years grinding in the arts with little to show for it. It’s that raw, real struggle we see all over LA, from Venice Beach dreamers to Hollywood hopefuls.
Here’s the kicker - Jessie’s not even tripping over missing out on more Harry Potter conventions. 'I’m not upset about the prospect of no more Harry Potter conventions,' she reportedly said, according to Us Weekly. With a new cast on the horizon for HBO’s upcoming series and over 15 years of con memories under her belt, she’s got enough wizarding swag to last a lifetime.
She’s also not just a one-trick witch. Cave has flexed her acting chops in projects like 'Great Expectations,' plus TV gems like 'Black Mirror' and 'Industry.' Whether she’s strolling red carpets in Downtown LA or chilling at events like the International Booker Prize announcement at London’s Tate Modern, she’s still got that star power.
So, while the convention drama might sting a bit, Cave is rolling with the punches - just like any true SoCal survivor navigating the wilds of fame. Will this spark a bigger convo about double standards in the entertainment biz? Only time will tell, but we’re keeping our eyes peeled right here in the City of Angels.
