About Bella French

Bella is a Montréal, QC-based entrepreneur and co-founder/CEO of ManyVids, a major digital content platform focused on adult creators. She is also a former adult performer/webcam model.
Before adult work, she was a serial entrepreneur who studied fashion design and graduated from business school. She opened two stores in Montréal, the first when she was 21 and the second at 27. Her store was flooded and she was not well insured, and lost $200,000 overnight.
She entered the adult industry around 2011 as a webcam/cam girl to stay afloat financially. She later did porn scenes (debut around 2013) and built a following as a model/performer. She performed in pornographic films and content as an adult actress/model and has been open about her experiences and used them to inform ManyVids' model-centric approach.
She co-founded ManyVids in 2014, initially as a personal site for selling videos, then expanded with tech partners. She served as founding CFO before becoming CEO. The platform emphasizes creator control, multiple revenue streams, and has positioned itself as more creator-friendly than some competitors. She has been a public advocate for sex workers' rights and reducing stigma in the industry.
In a 2019 Penthouse interview, Bella discussed going from a "buxom blonde bombshell" look (inspired by Coco Austin) with 1,200cc implants at their largest to downsizing them to 800cc. She also returned to her natural hair colour. Her fans liked the bigger size, but she chose the change as part of her personal evolution. She has largely stepped back from camming/performing years ago to focus on running the company, though she occasionally mentioned returning to it publicly in the past.
She remains publicly associated with ManyVids as co-founder and CEO on her site and in recent coverage (as of 2026), though there have been rumours and reports of shifts in her role/ownership (e.g., platform changes or possible sale influences) and a recent pivot in the company's direction toward helping transition creators out of adult content amid AI and other changes.
