Teens today may not aspire to join the Playboy mansion anymore (or even know what it is), but a similar experience has popped up for today's generation. Enter: the 'Bop House,' or what some people call, a young teen's 'pipeline to OnlyFans.' The viral TikTok content house is targeting girls under 18 — and parents may not even realize it.
What Is the Bop House?
The Bop House is 'your new favorite girls only influencer house,' according to the house's TikTok bio. The bio also includes a link to 'audition' to be in the house, which asks for a picture of your ID. The account has 3.5 million followers and 65.6 million likes.

The house is a $75,000-a-month rented mansion shared by OnlyFans content creators Sophie Rain, 20, Aishah Sofey, 22, and others, per The Standard. They created an influencer house named after the slang term 'bop,' which means a woman with multiple sexual partners.
'It's just like a little girl group that we're all doing and we just want to uplift each other and help each other grow on TikTok,' Rain previously told Daily Mail about Bop House, per Fast Company.
Why Is It Problematic?
With their matching pajamas, pastel-colored outfits, and synchronized TikTok dances, it seems like the account is appealing to young teens as its target audience. (Compare Hello Kitty pajama pants and athleisure to Playboy's tiny, bunny lingerie.) From there, they funnel viewers to their OnlyFans accounts where they rack in millions each month, which is why The Standard calls it a 'pipeline to OnlyFans.'
Rain is reportedly one of Only Fans' top earners, bringing in $43 million her first year, per USA Today. The Bop House creators have previously stated that they brought in $250 million collectively last year. Is it really any stretch of the imagination that teens would look to being part of houses like this and making money on Only Fans as a viable option after these girls make it look so easy and fun?
A June 2025 study found that high school students aged 12-16 in Spain were aware of and access OnlyFans, despite being minors, and believe the platform can be 'an attractive professional alternative.'
Yann Poncin, child psychiatrist and Yale School of Medicine professor, told USA Today about the Bop House, 'I do think it creates an unrealistic sense of reality. This just really presents as an exciting lifestyle. These girls seem to have it together. They have things, they have money, they have the shining objects.'
Self-Esteem Takes a Hit
Not only that, but it can also hurt girls' self-esteem.
Dr. Emma Carlisle, youth psychologist, told the The Standard, 'This kind of environment [like at the Bop House] can seriously impact mental health, body image, and long-term self-esteem. Parents should be aware and keep conversations open rather than shy away from them.'
According to a 2025 report from the Pew Research Center, teen girls are more likely to say that social media hurts their mental health (25 percent compared to 14 percent), their confidence (20 percent compared to 10 percent), and their sleep (50 percent compared to 40 percent). 'I guess it's creating sort of an epidemic,' 19-year-old Ajani, part of the SheKnows Teen Council, previously told us about phone use. 'Because it's just starting out at a way earlier age. So that's allowing kids to start comparing themselves more and just be overall addicted.'
17-year-old Greta explained it like this: 'When you're feeling down, all you want to do is go on your phone,' said Greta, 17, 'but it just makes everything so much worse. And so whatever it is to keep being busy, whether that's hanging out with your family, your friends, doing something you love — like, I danced during the week during the school year — and that's been a really great way for me to feel more grounded.'
Can We All Say Goodbye to 'Bop House'?
And, in case you need a reminder that everything you see online isn't as picture-perfect as it appears, Rain recently left the Bop House after conflict among the group.
'The Bop House will always be a huge part of my life, but lately, I've felt like I was losing my own voice inside of it,' Rain told Us Weekly on July 21. 'What started as an empowering space began to feel controlling, with certain members wanting to dictate how I should act, post, and live.'
She had a 'major falling out' with fellow creator Camilla Araujo, which 'became impossible to ignore.' She told the outlet, 'Leaving wasn't an easy decision, but I realized I needed to put my mental health and personal freedom first. I'm grateful for the memories, the success, and the sisterhood we once had, but it's time for me to move forward.'
Maybe it's time for all of us to move forward — and away — from the Bop House and it's negative effect on girls.Best of SheKnows
