Another band has bit the dust, courtesy of naughty behavior from one of the members, but don’t go blaming spicy subscription sites quite yet. The rock band Gel has announced that they’re splitsville, and the group is laying the blame at the feet of guitarist Anthony Webster. Apparently his impulse control is less than ideal, and his fingers were sticky, because he stole money from his bandmates in order to keep spending on OnlyFans after his own finances were dried up. While many people might try and point the finger at the adults-only site, I’m here to say that the content creators aren’t the ones who swiped their bandmates’ payment information.

Anthony Webster was the guitarist of New Jersey hardcore band Gel, but now he’s a guitarist without a band. Given that he was a rising star and had a Coachella slot and a U.S. tour coming up? Ouch. He could have had it all if he hadn’t fumbled the whole damn bag with his dick out.

The band is publicly blaming the breakup on “heinous acts” committed by Webster. So what were those acts, exactly? Well, he stole tens of thousands of dollars from the band’s bank account—allegedly. He blew the money on rent, food, and an entire naughty library’s worth of OnlyFans subscriptions. Oh, but that’s not even the worst part. He also leaked nude photos of bandmates online without their consent. That’s not just gross—depending on where you are in the world, it’s illegal. Talk about obliterating your own career for no good reason! The rest of the band abruptly said “deuces” on social media and has canceled everything that was on the horizon. Coachella and the Spiritbox tour? Gonesies.

Let’s get one thing straight right now: this epic fuck-up isn’t on OnlyFans’ shoulders. Don’t shoot the platform—OnlyFans is a tool just like any other, and it doesn’t steal money, nor does it leak nudes. They’re actually pretty strict about that, actually. Anthony didn’t ruin Gel because OnlyFans made him do it—he managed to do that all by himself. Does he have a spending addiction? Maybe. Does he have a toxic sense of entitlement? Absolutely. Being a fan of adult content ≠ being a garbage human being.

Want to know the real irony here? OnlyFans is a platform where consent is king, and yet here they are, getting dragged into a scandal about non-consensual acts. The platform empowers creators to own their work and have control over their finances. What Anthony did was the literal opposite of those things. Stealing money from the band bank account and then sharing intimate images of bandmates without consent? Theft on both counts. Consent is cool, boundary violations aren’t. Someone clue Anthony in, please.

Gel would have absolutely rocked Coachella, but you have to respect the other bandmates for saying, “Our personal boundaries are more important than headlining a major music festival. Peace out.” Getting robbed by someone who’s supposed to be on your team has got to suck, but you’ve gotta be proud of them for doing the hard thing in order to take care of themselves. Hopefully Anthony will learn his lesson—and maybe find a less icky way to fuel his OnlyFans purchases.
