McKinley Richardson Claims Jack Doherty Manipulated Her Into Joining OnlyFans

In a revealing new interview on Camilla Araujo’s podcast, influencer McKinley Richardson opened up about the darker moments of her relationship with YouTuber and Kick streamer Jack Doherty, claiming he once used OnlyFans as an ultimatum to keep their relationship going and to control her. The emotional episode, which has quickly gained traction online, sheds light on how McKinley Richardson, who says she initially stood firm in her decision not to join the platform, eventually felt pressured into signing a contract that tied her career and social media presence to Jack Doherty’s brand.

According to Richardson, her resistance to joining OnlyFans became a point of tension in the relationship. She said Doherty would often surround himself with women who worked under him on the platform, many of whom confided in her about strict contracts and revenue cuts they couldn’t talk about due to NDAs.

When she refused to participate, McKinley said Doherty’s demeanor began to change. After a dinner where one of his associates crudely questioned her morals for not doing OnlyFans, telling her to “f-ck your morals," she confronted Doherty and asked not to be put in that position again.

While he apologized at first, Richardson says it wasn’t long before the pressure returned. One night, a friend of hers allegedly told her that Doherty said “there was no reason for [them] to be together if [she] wasn’t helping.”

Richardson described the moment as heartbreaking, saying it made her question everything she thought she knew about their relationship. She claimed she approached Doherty hoping to talk it through but instead found herself surrounded by Doherty and members of his team pushing her to agree. “They were telling me how successful I’d be,” she recalled. “They said my parents would get over it when they saw how much money I’d make.”

The next morning, she says, Doherty handed her a contract, one that not only linked her to his OnlyFans business but also gave him control over her social media accounts, including her TikTok and Instagram, which already had hundreds of thousands of followers.

When she hesitated, she claims he dismissed her concerns, telling her the contract “meant nothing” and that they could change it later. “Just sign it,” he allegedly told her. That moment, Richardson said, marked a major turning point, not only in their relationship but in her personal boundaries.

After she signed, Richardson says the tone of their relationship shifted dramatically. Gone were the dinners, the affection, and the respect she’d experienced in the early days. In their place came tension, control, and content-driven chaos.

She recalled how Doherty began focusing solely on filming and metrics, leaving her feeling isolated and exhausted. What had once been a partnership, she says, turned into a machine, one fueled by views, pressure, and stimulants.

As Richardson’s relationship with Doherty unraveled, things reportedly took a dark and dangerous turn. Police body cam footage shed light on the alleged domestic violence that marked the final stages of their relationship, a moment that has since reignited public scrutiny of the controversial YouTuber.

The footage, recorded during a late-night police response, captures the chaotic aftermath of what Araujo described as a violent altercation between Doherty and Richardson. According to Araujo, Richardson was so terrified that she fled their shared home and sought refuge at her house, afraid for her safety.

“I’m the friend,” Araujo can be heard telling officers in the video. “I’m an old friend of his, but she’s right there in a different car waiting.” Richardson was reportedly hiding in a Nissan, a vehicle Doherty didn’t recognize, to avoid being seen. Araujo explained that if Doherty had noticed her car outside, the situation might have escalated even further, prompting the desperate 911 call for help.

In the video, officers appear to arrive uncertain of the full scope of the situation. Araujo, visibly shaken, urged them to focus on Richardson’s safety, identifying her as the victim and Doherty as the alleged abuser.

The shocking footage, paired with Richardson’s past claims of manipulation and control, paints a disturbing picture of a relationship that spiraled out of control behind closed doors, far darker than what fans ever saw online.
