Leonid Radvinsky, the billionaire owner of OnlyFans, has died at the age of 43 following a private battle with cancer, according to multiple reports released on March 23, 2026.

A statement from the platform’s parent company, Fenix International, confirmed that Radvinsky “passed away peacefully after a long illness,” noting that his health struggles had not been made public prior to his death.

Radvinsky, a Ukrainian-American entrepreneur, was widely known for his low-profile lifestyle despite overseeing one of the most financially successful digital platforms of the past decade.

He acquired Fenix International in 2018, taking control of OnlyFans before its explosive global rise. Under his leadership, the platform evolved into a multi billion dollar business, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic when demand for digital content and creator monetization increased worldwide.

OnlyFans became a major force in the creator economy, allowing users to earn directly from subscribers. While the platform gained prominence for adult content, it also expanded into fitness, music, lifestyle, and other creator-driven industries.

Radvinsky’s ownership of OnlyFans is extraordinarily lucrative. Over the years, he reportedly earned hundreds of millions of dollars in dividends as the platform’s revenue grew significantly.

By the mid-2020s, OnlyFans had become one of the most influential subscription-based platforms globally. Despite this success, Radvinsky remained largely absent from public appearances, interviews, and media engagement.

More details are expected to emerge regarding leadership transition and the long-term future of OnlyFans.

Veteran American actor Robert Carradine has died at the age of 71, his family confirmed on February 23, 2026.

Carradine was best known for his role as the socially awkward but determined Lewis Skolnick in the 1984 cult comedy Revenge of the Nerds, a performance that turned him into a pop culture icon of the 1980s. Decades later, he introduced himself to a new generation as Sam McGuire, the supportive father in Disney Channel’s hit series Lizzie McGuire.

His family said he had been living with bipolar disorder for nearly two decades. In a statement, they described him as a deeply creative spirit who remained resilient despite personal struggles, and they expressed hope that sharing his story would help reduce stigma surrounding mental health conversations.

Born into the legendary Carradine acting family, Robert was the son of actor John Carradine and part of a Hollywood dynasty that includes brothers David and Keith Carradine. Over a career spanning more than five decades, he built a resume that stretched far beyond his most famous roles.

In the early 1970s, he appeared in notable films such as The Cowboys alongside John Wayne and Martin Scorsese’s crime drama Mean Streets. Though often associated with comedy because of Revenge of the Nerds, Carradine demonstrated versatility across genres, working steadily in television and film throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s.

His portrayal of Lewis Skolnick became a defining character of its era; emblematic of underdog triumph and campus comedy culture. Meanwhile, his role in Lizzie McGuire secured his place in millennial childhood nostalgia, portraying a grounded, humorous father figure in one of Disney Channel’s most beloved early-2000s series.

Tributes from colleagues and fans have begun pouring in across social media, with many remembering his warmth, wit, and lasting cultural impact.

Robert Carradine leaves behind a body of work that bridged generations, from cult comedy classic to family television staple. 

May his soul rest in peace. 

American actor Eric Dane, widely known for his role as Dr. Mark “McSteamy” Sloan on Grey’s Anatomy, has died at the age of 53 following a battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

According to multiple international reports, Dane passed away on February 19, 2026, nearly a year after publicly revealing his ALS diagnosis. His family confirmed that he died surrounded by loved ones.

Dane announced in April 2025 that he had been diagnosed with ALS; a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. The condition gradually weakens muscles and affects voluntary movements, including walking, speaking, swallowing, and breathing. There is currently no known cure.

Best known for his breakout role on Grey’s Anatomy, Dane joined the long-running ABC medical drama in 2006 and quickly became a fan favourite for his charismatic portrayal of the confident plastic surgeon, earning the nickname “McSteamy.” He remained on the series until 2012 and reprised the role in later appearances.

Beyond Grey’s Anatomy, Dane built a diverse career in both television and film. He starred as Cal Jacobs in the HBO drama Euphoria, appearing alongside a new generation of actors and introducing himself to younger audiences. His film credits include roles in X‑Men: The Last Stand and Marley & Me.

Following news of his death, tributes poured in from colleagues and fans across the entertainment industry, with many remembering him as a talented performer and devoted family man.

ALS, sometimes referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a fatal condition that progressively destroys nerve cells responsible for muscle movement. While treatments can help manage symptoms, the disease continues to worsen over time.

Dane is survived by his wife and children.

His passing marks the loss of a television icon whose impact on medical drama and contemporary television spanned nearly two decades.

May his soul rest in peace.

A routine filming day turned tragic in Lekki Phase 1 after two Nollywood production crew members were found dead inside a parked vehicle at a movie location, sparking a full-scale police investigation.

The victims have been identified as Godstime Imeh, a lighting director and CEO of GeeTee Light, and Walter Odediran, a creative director widely known in industry circles as Director Carrinqton. Both men were part of the technical team working on a film project at the time of the incident.

Concerns were raised later in the evening when repeated phone calls went unanswered. Crew members eventually approached the vehicle and discovered both men unresponsive inside. Emergency services were alerted, and authorities were called to the scene.

The Lagos State Police Command confirmed that an investigation has commenced. The case has since been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Yaba for further forensic examination.

Investigators are reportedly exploring multiple angles, including toxicology testing, mechanical inspection of the vehicle, environmental factors, and interviews with individuals present on the set earlier in the day. CCTV footage from the premises and surrounding areas is also being reviewed.

As of the time of filing this report, authorities have not confirmed a cause of death. Officials say findings from autopsies and laboratory analyses will be critical in determining what happened.

The news has sent shockwaves through the Nollywood production community, particularly among technical crew members who form the backbone of the industry’s daily operations. Tributes have begun pouring in from colleagues describing both men as dedicated professionals committed to their craft.
