A redheaded Los Angeles lawyer-turned-OnlyFans star was arrested in Miami this week in a drug bust just before boarding a gay cruise.
Joshua Eddy, 41, of West Hollywood was among nine men arrested Sunday for allegedly trying to board a Royal Caribbean cruise with illegal drugs, a spokeswoman for the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said.
A licensed attorney, Eddy’s online profiles show he’s also held jobs as a tech exec.
Eddy’s better known for his steamy social media accounts, including an OnlyFans page where he calls himself the “Beefy ginger bro next door.”
Eddy was arrested Sunday at PortMiami as he and eight other suspects tried to board the Symphony of the Seas cruise for Symphony 2026, which organizers called the “world’s biggest gay festival at sea.”
A prolific Instagrammer who holds the handles @eddythefit and @daddy, the buff attorney was preparing to party on the cruise when U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers discovered the drugs in his luggage during a screening with trained detection dogs, police said.

Officers found several bags containing pills and a liquid that tested positive for multiple controlled substances, including about 19.3 grams of MDMA, 3.4 grams of ketamine, 7.55 grams of methamphetamine, and approximately 80 grams of GBL, according to police records.
CBP called in the officers from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, who arrested Eddy and impounded the narcotics, police said.
Eddy was charged with four felonies including trafficking MDMA and possession of meth, GBL and ketamine, according to court documents. He appeared in court Monday and was released on $1,000 bond. He is due again in court in April. Eddy couldn’t be reached for comment.
California State Bar records show Eddy was admitted to the bar in 2013 and holds an active attorney’s license.
Another profile shows that Eddy has been employed at Meta since 2018. Reps for the company didn’t respond to a request to confirm his employment there.
He’s made 575 posts to his OnlyFans profile, where a monthly subscription costs $14.99.
Eddy also posts videos of activities including his workouts and meals to a TikTok account with the handle @eddieburkex, where he describes himself as “100% ginger.”
