MALIBU — At 2:14 a.m. on Saturday, eight officers from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department arrived at a beachfront rental on Pacific Coast Highway with a sealed warrant, a drone unit, and — according to two neighbors SPILL24 spoke to on the record — "more flashlights than a movie set."
The target of the raid was Leona Vex, the 27-year-old OnlyFans creator whose feed has quietly become one of the platform's top-earning subscriptions of the last 18 months. By sunrise, clips of her being walked out of the house in a cropped hoodie had already crossed a million views on TikTok.
The sheriff's department has declined to provide SPILL24 with a copy of the warrant. A spokesperson confirmed only that "an active investigation is ongoing" and that Vex has not been arrested or charged with any crime. She was released without bail by 8:40 a.m.
Vex told SPILL24 in a 47-minute phone call on Sunday evening that she has "a pretty clear idea" who tipped off the department and that the tip was "a lie dressed up to look like a lead."
"They came in like they already knew where the bedroom was. That's the part I can't stop thinking about." — Leona Vex, to SPILL24
In the meantime, Vex's subscriber count has roughly tripled since Saturday. Her creator page now includes a full first-person account of the raid, the photos she took that night, and "a letter to the person who thought this would shut me up."
