The frontman behind a whites-only community in remote Arkansas who touts its residents' conservative values has a history of starring in sex-for-tips online porn videos, Daily Mail can reveal.
Several of those show Eric Orwoll and his now ex-wife continuously checking for comments and donations while the two have sex in front of a live webcam.
One video with at least 29,000 views, for example, features Orwoll's former wife Caitlyn Smith looking directly into the camera, flitting her tongue provocatively and saying 'Yay! Thank you!... 101 tokens!' – a way to tip on her online porn service – then blowing a kiss to the viewer who gave them, all while Orwell pumps her from behind.
Just this week Daily Mail revealed the growing outrage as Orwoll's group Return to the Land started building the community near the Missouri border. Orwoll, 35, a right-wing YouTuber, is the co-founder and president of the group.
He bills the his community as the first of many nationwide able to skirt fair housing laws while rejecting all applicants of color, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, and those who identify as LGBTQ.
That last restriction seems to contradict the professed lifestyle of Smith, 31, Orwoll's online porn partner, mother of his four children and wife of 11 years until they divorced last October.
She goes by 'Openmindedsexualencounters' on the porn site Chaturbate and lists her 'interests' as 'Men, Women, Trans, Couples.'
Her wide array of preferred sex partners hasn't seemed to disqualify her from living on the compound, which Orwoll promotes as a 'wholesome' community with 'traditional views' that actively protects its children from exposure to people who identify as LGBTQ and what he described as other 'deviant' lifestyles.
Smith and Orwoll have not responded to emails seeking comment about the apparent hypocrisy. Neither picked up a phone that public records list for them both.
Orwoll has made headlines lately for 'Community1' – also known as 'The Settlement' – a tract of forest that Return to the Land owns near the Ozark Mountains.
Applicants seeking to live there must prove their white European heritage in order to qualify.
The self-described 'white identitarian' sees the compound as a legal pilot project for what he aims will be a string of other all-white, all-straight and mostly Christian communities nationwide.
'First, get a neighborhood. Then, get a town. Then get a city. Then get a network of cities. Then maybe think about the country,' he urged his followers, many of whom are white supremacists, on YouTube in early July.
Smith, for her part, posted an X message celebrating the 100th anniversary of Adolf Hitler's manifesto, Mein Kampf on July 18.
She regularly appears in videos and interviews promoting the compound in Arkansas.
'It's so beautiful here. I love living here,' she has said online.
The land is outside tiny Ravenden, a town with a population of just 423 near the Missouri border and 140 miles north of Little Rock, Arkansas' state capital.
Public documents filed for Return to the Land's limited liability corporation show the group has eight unidentified founders who each pitched in between $10,000 and $90,000 in startup funds.
By doing so, they become eligible for membership units or shares that entitle them to live on the property.
The group grants new memberships only to people who, in applications and interviews, can verify their white, European 'ancestral heritage'.
It expressly bans Muslims and Jews, even those who are ethnically European, and accepts only Christian and pagan applicants. People who identify as LGBTQ are verboten.
Orwoll says that because Return to the Land sells membership shares, not real estate, it is able to limit who may join, thereby skirting the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the 1968 Fair Housing Act and more current laws protecting people of all gender identities and sexual orientations from housing discrimination.
'We've been to several lawyers,' he said, but wouldn't name any of them. 'We have it all worked out.'

'We've been to several lawyers,' he said, but wouldn't name any of them. 'We have it all worked out.'
Legal experts specializing in housing law counter his assertion about the legality of the group's housing restrictions, saying courts will shoot them down.
'There is absolutely no doubt that its segregationist rules won't stand up,' said Professor Florence Wagman Roisman of Indiana University's Robert H. McKinney School of Law, calling the group's policies 'disgusting'.
'Legally, it won't fly.'
Public records show Orwoll married Smith in 2013. Her publicly visible online presence seems to indicate that she started making livestream porn videos the following year.
It's unclear whether either is still making online porn since their divorce.
Orwoll refused to say what he does for a living when he's not raising money for Return to the Land, when asked by Daily Mail last month.
Since making the sex videos that Daily Mail was able to identify online, he has lightened his hair from brown to blond and altered his appearance from scruffy grunge to a more tucked-in, clean-cut look evocative of the Aryan 'Übermensch' that he and his followers idealize online.
His and Smith's online enterprise seems to run counter to the conservative culture he has said he's cultivating on the Arkansas compound.
In an interview with Dailymail.com in early July, he described the ethos there as one where traditional views are a top priority.
The group encourages members to have as many children as possible.
'Masculinity for men and femininity for women we see as a virtue,' Orwoll added.
A crusader for what he calls 'decency' and 'European family values,' he also emphasized the importance of home schooling on the compound as a way to keep children from being exposed to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts and from what he called 'deviant' lifestyles, meaning LGBTQ.
Public records show Orwoll and Smith divorced in October 2024 and share custody of their children.
He said he doesn't currently live on the compound, but is in the process of building a cabin there.
She, in the meantime, said in a recent interview with Sky News that in June she remarried a man named David, who is building a 12x24 foot cabin on the compound, where they have been living in a camper.
In a promotional video for Return to the Land, she shows the goats she has been raising on the property.
As Orwoll tells it, several perceived threats have emerged over the past few decades that have made many white people fear the dilution of their European race.
Among those are declining fertility rates and statistics showing overwhelming support for interracial marriage.
He said interest in Return to the Land has gained momentum as President Donald Trump and his MAGA movement have emboldened more white people to speak out against DEI efforts and so-called 'woke' culture that some say demeans them and their history.
Over the past month, Orwoll and the group have been the subjects of fierce online criticism, including by civil rights groups that condemn their actions and ideologies as extremist, divisive and dangerous to marginalized communities.
Those groups include the NAACP, Stop Hindu Hate, the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Anti-Defamation League.
'Sheltered Max', an X user who says he's living on the compound, has written in favor of 'cannibalizing' and 'eradicating' Jews and posted that 'Jew hatred is the great unifier.'
Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has been curiously mum about Return to the Land's presence in her state. Her father, former governor Mike Huckabee, is the current U.S. ambassador to Israel.
Daily Mail spoke with several people familiar with Orwoll, all of whom refused to have their names disclosed for fear of what they said is his short temper and erratic ways.
This image he has created for himself as an upstanding Christian conservative is bulls**t, total bulls**t,' one told us.
Another urged current and prospective residents of the Arkansas compound and future Return to the Land developments to beware of the slippage between who Orwoll purports to be and who he actually is.
'Eric's behavior follows a clear pattern. Whether he's filming graphic content or adopting extremist personas, it's all part of the same spectacle-seeking drive. The goal is attention, disruption, and control,' that person said.
'He's creating a fascist community with racial apartheid aims. He's dragging down families and children and siphoning immense sums of money through disingenuous charity claims.'
My concern is that Eric is a predator and liar – a hungry, attention-seeking performer who says shocking things to get attention and will do anything for sex and power.'
