In recent weeks, the Bop House has gone through some upheaval with the departures of Sophie Rain and Camilla Araujo, a pair of Miami-based OnlyFans creators who launched the content creation pad. Apparently, the pair had a falling out and decided it was time to focus on their individual pursuits. If you're catching up on the drama — or, if you have no idea what the hell the Bop House is in the first place — New Times has put together this helpful explainer.
First, What is a Bop?
Merriam-Webster defines a "bop" as a slang word for a person who has had many sexual partners, or who presents themselves in an overly sexualized way, such as posting pictures and videos in revealing outfits. On social media, a bop is short for a "baddie on point" and can refer to a sex worker. OnlyFans creators with tens of millions of followers, such as Rain and Araujo, have embraced the term as empowering and use it to express their femininity and entrepreneurial drive. What Is the Bop House?
The premise is simple: Bring together female content creators in their twenties, some already internet-famous, others still grinding for subscribers. They pool resources by splitting a mind-boggling $75,000 monthly rent and converting the house into a 24-hour set. Bedrooms morph into studios. The pool deck becomes a backdrop for bikini shoots. Late-night kitchen encounters can evolve into on-camera collaborations. The goal is to keep shooting, keep posting, and always keep fans on the hook.The model borrows heavily from earlier social media collectives like TikTok hype houses or YouTube collab cribs. But the adult entertainment angle makes the Bop House a different kind of experiment. Unlike typical influencer mansions, this setup sells intimacy that straddles the line between pornography and girlfriend fantasy. And because OnlyFans lets creators monetize their subscribers directly, the money stays in-house.
When Did the Bop House Launch?
Rain and Aishah Sofey, another Miami-based OnlyFans model with a huge following, inaugurated the Bop House with a TikTok video on December 9, 2024. The duo produced a six-second clip of themselves standing in front of the mansion’s pool with a placard that simply read, "Bop House." Text overlay read, "You can’t just make a house of bops," with a caption reading, "Yes, we can." Araujo moved into the mansion shortly thereafter. Since then, the Bop House has filled out its roster with OnlyFans models Summer Iris, Alina Rose, Ava Reyes, and Julia Filippo. In addition to making their own individual content for OnlyFans, Bop House members also regularly collaborate to make viral Instagram reels and TikTok videos to boost their bases of followers and subscribers.@bophouse yes we can 😤 @Sophie Rain @Aishah Sofey ♬ Bop Anthem - osaka
Why Did Rain and Araujo Leave the Bop House?
Tensions between the Bop Housemates began to surface earlier this summer. In an interview with the Village Voice, Rain vented about Araujo being hyper-competitive and "constant passive-aggressive jabs that finally hit a wall."At the end of July, Rain announced her exit from the Bop House, citing discord with Araujo and a desire to continue growing her career independently. "What started as an empowering space began to feel controlling, with certain members wanting to dictate how I should act, post, and live," Rain told US Weekly.
A few weeks later, Araujo followed Rain out the door, claiming she'd decided to start a "new era" focused on modeling and broader creative pursuits. In a recent on-the-street interview, Araujo downplayed the rift with Rain.
"We were business partners, but at some point, you have to recognize when a chapter has run its course," Araujo said. "Leaving Bop House was really about doing what feels right for me at this stage of my life."
The remaining Bop House residents recently held an online competition for a new member. After receiving 12,000 applications, Lexi Marvel, a Puerto Rican OnlyFans model with 2.4 million followers, won the slot.
