As the US Records Its Hottest Summer On Record, Adult Content Creators Take on Big Oil’s Disinformation Machine
Megastars Lily Phillips, Little Puck, Girthmasterr and More Raise Climate Awareness in S2 of Headline Newds
LOS ANGELES, September 21, 2026 — Following the hottest summer on record in the US, devastating glacier floods in Nepal and a UN warning that the world will soon breach 1.5°C, the climate crisis is getting harder to ignore, yet Big Oil’s disinformation machine continues to fuel misunderstanding, inaction, and confusion over who is responsible.
Amid a lack of political leadership and increasingly familiar climate campaign tactics, Headline Newds is taking a radically different approach: adult content creators confronting stigma head-on and showing that the desire for climate action extends far beyond the usual suspects.
Headline Newds is a social media series in which adult content creators explain complex climate issues through 90-second sketches that satirise p*rn clichés. The content is made just SFW enough for Instagram, with additional cuts available on OnlyFans.
Produced by filmmaker Bree Essrig, Skins star Megan Prescott, and climate narrative strategist Jessica Riches in collaboration with Yellow Dot Studios, the non-profit media studio founded by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Adam McKay, Season 2 follows a first season that reached millions, including audiences who would not traditionally engage with climate content.
Season 1 featured creators including Essrig, Prescott, Rebecca Crow and Eva Oh, covering topics including solar energy, climate censorship, extreme heat, flooding and fossil-fuel financing. 71.4% of the series’ Instagram audience was male, with men aged 35–44 making up the single largest viewing demographic.
Season 2 returns with 11 episodes featuring UK and US adult creators including Lily Phillips, Aaliyah Yasmin and Girthmasterr, known for his large member. The first episode, “Body Count”, stars Lily Phillips and uses her headline-making body count to turn the question on its head: how many people have fossil fuels killed through air pollution, extreme heat and climate-driven disasters, and how many more lives are at risk while governments continue to protect the industry? Elsewhere in the series, Girthmasterr takes on “Godzilla El Niño”, turning an extreme climate phenomenon into an unexpectedly funny and accessible lesson in climate science.
Episodes tackle subjects including carbon footprints, microplastics, wet-bulb temperatures, data centres and fossil-fuel power, while showcasing “sexy solutions” that could help tackle the climate crisis. Across the season, Headline Newds lays climate science bare, uncovering the filthy affairs between Big Oil and global governments and showcasing how to tackle the climate crisis.
The series argues that sex workers and digital creators may be uniquely placed to have these conversations. They already operate in a heavily censored and stigmatised space, and are accustomed to speaking openly about subjects that mainstream society often prefers to avoid.
“Everybody and their mother knows what microplastics are at this point, but what they don’t know is how much money big oil spends covering up the fact that they’re killing us. If I have to throw my ass in circles to get that information out there, then I’ll just stay bent over until that’s what kills me instead.” said Bree Essrig, co-creator of Headline Newds “Hotness is awesome and fun when it’s ladies and dudes on OnlyFans. But when the hotness pertains to oil companies cooking the entire planet just to get their stock price higher it, to use a scientific term, sucks.” said Adam McKay, Producer of Headline Newds
“We’re always experimenting with fresh ways to talk about climate. And when we’re fighting against the disinformation of Big Oil and the destruction they’re leaving behind, we forced to bring out the big buns.” said Staci Roberts-Steele, Producer of Headline Newds “Sex workers have been censored and discriminated against for generations, yet they’ve often been at the forefront of important social movements. Big Oil has spent decades censoring the truth about climate change, suppressing, distracting and muddying the conversation. So why wouldn’t sex workers be powerful people to help bring that information into the mainstream? The question shouldn’t be ‘Why is Lily Phillips talking about climate change?’ It should be ‘Why isn’t every politician talking about it?’ If people are more outraged by who is delivering the message than by the fact that fossil-fuel companies have been profiting while damaging the planet, that says a lot about what we still choose to care about as a society.” said Megan Prescott, co-creator of Headline Newds
“As someone who’s worked in climate comms for the past decade, I’m tired of impact reports and progressive infighting. The best time to act was when we learned Big Oil was covering up its impact. The second best time is now. Headline Newds is my rallying cry to the industry: fight fire with something hotter. Parasocial creators, who’ve built audiences through intimacy and connection, are the perfect fighters in the information war between Big Oil and the planet.” said Jessica Riches, co-creator of Headline Newds
