Ben Shapiro has an illogical meltdown targeting the Washington Post and top OnlyFans creator Bryce Adams who has built a multi-million dollar business empire with her boyfriend and staff. John Iadarola and Jayar Jackson break it down on The Damage Report.

Thought that the media were
not garbage enough, but
I have something to disabuse you,
now they are rooting for OnlyFans.
So the Washington Post, when it's not
busy hiring reporters who work for
Hamas, they actually have an entire piece,
a giant piece about OnlyFans,
inside an OnlyFans empire, sex,
influence and the new American dream.
[00:00:18]
Yeah, things are going
great here in America.
>> Speaker 2: Things are going great.
He's being sarcastic there because he
says that things aren't going great, why?
Is it because people are falling
behind in relation to inflation or
don't think that they'll ever be
able to own a home or whatever?
[00:00:34]
No, it's because the Washington Post did
an article about someone who posts on
OnlyFans.
That is what means that
everything is going wrong.
By the way, in that article, and
we'll show you the front page right now.
You can go read it if you want.
You could make an argument that
people are becoming desperate because
[00:00:51]
traditional means of wealth
accumulation are being dried up.
So lots of people are moving into
gig work, including OnlyFans, but
not limited to it.
You could have a substantive conversation.
This is Ben Shapiro,
it's not gonna happen.
He is going to use this to demonize people
being confident in their body, obviously.
[00:01:11]
And also he's gonna talk about
it because this dude has to talk
about anything involving sex.
Because for reasons that are probably
very clear when you watch him,
this dude needs an outlet,
I'll just say that.
But anyway, if you read the article,
it's about Bryce Adams,
[00:01:27]
who's a very popular OnlyFans creator.
And it talks about this
empire that they've created.
They've apparently she,
along with her longtime boyfriend Brian,
have created this empire.
They have this big farm.
You can see a little
shot of the layout of it.
[00:01:44]
And because they post so much and
they have so much money and it requires so
much work,
they've hired a bunch of people.
They're literally job creators.
You can see in this picture,
that's their team.
That's a lot of, there are way more
people working on that Onlyfans
than work on this show,
and they are being paid.
They seem to like the work
that they're doing.
[00:02:01]
There's no indication that Bryce Adams or
anyone else there is unhappy about
any of this, but it's for
him to jump in and say why it is wrong.
Here's a little bit more.
>> Speaker 1: Nowhere in this article,
so far as I am aware, do they ever
at any point question the morality of
women being paid to bare their bodies.
[00:02:22]
I mean, you wanna talk about
a society that objectifies women and
treats them like trash?
This would be the way to do it.
You wanna talk about depression and
suicidal ideation among young men who
are pathetically locked in their basements
with pornography, this would do it.
>> Speaker 3: Well, it is pornography,
I guess that is true.
[00:02:39]
I would say that if you were
actually worried about men and
their inability to be involved
in satisfying relationships,
I would say that maybe you'd stop
ruining men with your advocacy.
You're trying to get men to hate and
fear and lust after and despise women,
[00:02:55]
maybe you could do that.
But anyway, he also, by the way, Jayar,
and we'll get into the discussion.
He betrays, he said,
nowhere in this article, as far as I know,
do they talk about this.
That article ain't that long.
How do you not know if
they talk about that?
You didn't read the article, did you?
[00:03:10]
You just saw that it was about OnlyFans
and immediately started talking about it.
About the morality, about promiscuity.
She's in a longtime relationship.
They're posting consensual images.
There's nothing promiscuous
about any of this.
And the faux concern for feminism,
[00:03:26]
like you say that you're worried
about the objectification of women.
Yeah, the non-consensual objectification.
That doesn't mean that
you cannot do something,
it is fundamentally about freedom.
This is a person who is doing something
that does not hurt them, that
people are willingly paying them money to
do, and it's employing a bunch of people.
[00:03:45]
What exactly is the problem?
Jayar.
>> Speaker 2: It's a bit of wanting to
show that it all goes back to superiority.
I'm better than them,
I don't do things like that.
And they need to keep things like
sex work, any of this type of stuff,
as a low level thing where if you
choose to do it, I get to then say,
[00:04:03]
you're a lesser member of society.
It's all it is.
It's signaling I'm better than you.
That's all this is.
It's a long way of saying,
you know I'm better than you and
anybody who disagrees with me that I'm
not better than this other person,
that means that you're pushing for
the same immoral things in our society.
[00:04:21]
Why should, Washington Post, I think
it was, why should the Washington Post
include the morality levels of what
this woman and her team are doing?
Why?
What does that have to do with the story?
The story is about what she does, not
about the morality level, because that's
one of those things that some people
may see as moral and others may not.
[00:04:38]
Why does the Washington Post writer and
not this opinion article have to include
their opinion one way or another?
Just say what it is that they're doing,
because that's interesting.
Wow, did you know that there's this woman,
I don't know her name,
is making millions of dollars on
a compound in Florida with tens of people
[00:04:54]
that are helping her out with this?
That's wild that we've gotten
to this point in our world.
And whatever you want to take from that,
that's up to you, Ben Shapiro.
You can go on your mic and do have your
opinion and say, this is immoral, and
you can say it all you want.
And then afterwards, people will
continue to do what they're doing.
[00:05:09]
Because there's little boys and
men that are locked in their mom's
basements with porn ever since forever.
They like to say, I don't know
how true it is, but the saying,
the oldest profession in the world, and
not that this isn't even prostitution,
this is just images and videos,
whatever the hell she's doing.
[00:05:26]
This isn't even prostitution.
But still, it's the oldest profession
in the world, they say, but
we're gonna continue to fight over and
over and over again about the people that
choose to do whatever the hell
they want with their lives.
The porn industry uses people.
The porn industry destroys people's
lives and controls them, and
[00:05:43]
then people end up drug addicted and
things like that.
Some, I don't know the depths of it, but
I've definitely heard stories about people
who have been pulled in the same way
they talk about human trafficking and
all that type of stuff.
So you can have an issue
with that industry.
But since this woman does it on her own,
which she said in that piece,
[00:05:59]
it's something you do on your own, and you
don't have to have someone else over your
head controlling your life and your body.
That's maybe the problem that Ben Shapiro.
>> 100% is.
Hates the independence,
hates the confidence,
hates like you are supposed
to be controlled.
How dare you do this?
[00:06:14]
How dare you get money for it?
Your nude images are supposed
to get out there, but
it's supposed to be through revenge porn.
You're not supposed to
be benefiting from it,
>> [LAUGH]
>> That's all that this is.
And by the way, for the fact that he wants
to always consider himself to be like
a person who operates theologic,
a cool kids philosopher or
[00:06:30]
whatever, why don't you explain who
is actually being injured like this?
See, he hides instantly behind, get out
of having to make an argument free cards
like, why aren't they saying it's immoral?
This book that was written thousands
of years ago says that she's bad.
[00:06:45]
That's not an argument.
You're not making an argument for
why in the modern era this is a bad thing,
that there should
literally be legislation.
He goes on to call for
legislation to stop this from happening.
A person who wants to be considered
someone who could put together an actual
argument, hiding behind religious
dogma at every turn, who's surprised?
