Who Is Madelaine Thomas (Countess Diamond)?

Countess Diamond is a seasoned dominatrix with over a decade of professional experience, offering live sessions, custom fetish clips, and a popular OnlyFans account (@countessdiamond) where she posts exclusive BDSM, chastity, and findom content. Her controlled aesthetic, luxury latex visuals, and ruthless financial-domme persona have made her one of the most recognizable names in the niche.

Yet what truly sets her apart is what happened behind the scenes — a non-consensual leak that became the catalyst for a groundbreaking digital-safety technology.

Surviving Leaks and Transforming Trauma Into Innovation

Years before she became one of the UK’s most vocal advocates for sex-worker rights, Madelaine was the victim of a devastating image leak by a trusted client. Intimate photos were spread across revenge-porn sites, impossible to remove, and emotionally crushing.

Instead of leaving the industry, she transformed the violation into purpose. Her experience laid the foundation for Image Angel, the tech that would eventually become her legacy.

Image Angel: The Forensic Watermark Reinventing Creator Safety

Between 2024 and 2025, Madelaine tenaciously contacted developers until she found a partner willing to help her build her solution: Image Angel, an invisible forensic watermarking system designed to stop leaks before they spiral.

How It Works

• Every image or video is stamped with an invisible forensic fingerprint the moment it’s viewed or downloaded on an integrated platform.
• If leaked, the file reveals exactly which user originally downloaded or accessed it.
• Platforms can instantly ban offenders and provide evidence for legal complaints.

The innovation has already been:

• Cited positively in the UK Government’s 2025 Pornography Review
• Listed by Ofcom as a best-practice safety tool
• Publicly endorsed by Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips

Major platforms are reportedly exploring integration, especially as new Fairwork Sex Work Principles — co-authored by Madelaine herself — push for higher standards of creator protection.

The Barclays Controversy: A Banking Shutdown That Made Headlines

On 18 November 2025, Madelaine publicly accused Barclays of:

1. Refusing a business account for Image Angel
2. Closing her existing personal account tied to OnlyFans and adult-work income

Her LinkedIn post stating “Barclays don’t like that I earn via platforms like OnlyFans” went viral within hours.

The story was picked up by major outlets including The Telegraph and Yahoo Finance, adding her name to the growing list of sex workers who have been de-banked despite engaging in legal, taxed work.

Madelaine says the refusal came after promising early feedback from the bank — until her income sources were revealed. The event reignited debates around:

• Discrimination in financial services
• The hypocrisy of banks benefiting from adult-industry processing fees while still denying creators basic banking access
• The vulnerability of sex workers in mainstream systems
