Creators from the Bop House are addressing some of the controversies surrounding the Miami-area content operation.

Julia Filippo and Camilla Araújo sat for an interview with Vulture and opened up about the origins of the house, the money it generates, the narratives the drive it, and the suggestiveness that underscores it all.

As Vulture notes, the content the Bop House generates toes the line between playful innocence and provocative suggestion, and drives followers towards its members' OnlyFans accounts. Its residents, women in their early 20s, have been known to wear braces and cartoon pajamas, choices critics say pander to pedophiles.

Filippo is aware of the accusations.

“That’s how I blew up, because men loved how innocent I looked,” she said. “Disgusting. It’s sad. It’s horrible.”

Like many OnlyFans creators, the Bop House women earn loads of the money from direct messages and paid extras. But none of their content is actual pornography, which is part of the business model.

“I’ve never done nudity, but I walk very fine on the line,” Araújo explained. “I’ve learned many hacks and tricks and things like that.” 

Araújo said she’s had to reconcile her work and her religion.

“Doing OnlyFans, I struggle with my faith every day,” Araújo said. “I’m proud of who I’ve become and who I am, but the act of doing it, I’m not proud of. It’s the hardest part.”

Elsewhere in the interview, she and Filippo speak on the accusations that they’re creating their content explicitly for children, something they’ve pushed back on via their podcast, Clock It.

“If their parents deem it inappropriate, then they have all right to block us and move on. But these little girls, I’m not promoting anything provocative to them on TikTok,” Araújo said.

“Everyone thinks that we are out here doing what we do to promote it to younger crowds, which is so messed up because that’s just not our objective at all,” Filippo added. “That is disgusting.”
