Dakota Johnson joins sexual wellness brand "Maude" as an Investor and Co-Creative Director
Since emerging onto the Hollywood scene five years ago, Dakota Johnson has been a thoroughly modern sex symbol. Of course, this is due in no small part to her role as Anastasia Steele in the film adaption of the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, which served as a rousing introduction to the dynamics of a BDSM relationship for many. But that was just the beginning: As evidenced by her latest venture, the 31-year-old actress has every intention of continuing to push the sex-positive conversation forward off-screen, as well.
Today, Johnson announces her new role as investor and co-creative director of Maude, the sexual wellness brand that's gained a cult following for its sleek, sculpture-like toys, organic condoms and personal lubricants, and powerful, pleasure-positive messaging. "Dakota so clearly embodies Maude's mission," says founder and CEO Eva Goicochea, whom Johnson will work with on the brand's creative direction, developing new products and introducing new sustainability and awareness/education-oriented initiatives. "She fearlessly has taken on the subject of sex and intimacy through her work—becoming a powerful voice for inclusivity and progress. Her elevated eye for design and sharp sense of humor connect so seamlessly to our aesthetic."
Amid the global pandemic, when many health experts are cautioning that you are your safest sex partner, and as sexual wellness becomes increasingly destigmatized across the gender and sexuality spectrums, the partnership comes at a pivotal time. Here, Johnson talks through her new role with Maude, why sexual wellness is self-care, and how she wants to further disrupt the space.
Congrats on your new role! How did you first get introduced to Maude and what about their brand mission speaks to you?
Dakota: I had heard whispers of Maude through some mutual friends that Eva and I have, and was always intrigued and impressed by the company. When the idea of a formal partnership was brought to me, Eva and I met over FaceTime because she was in NY and I was in LA, and even through a little screen it was immediately a no brainer. Our synergy was instantaneous, our core beliefs around the brand mission aligned, our dreams are mighty, and we just really like each other.

Why is sexual wellness so important, and why do we need to normalize conversations around it?
Dakota: Sexual wellness is essential to all humans. It is so important that every human feels included in and able to access this form of self-care, and that the conversation around sexual health is destigmatized. For too long sexual health has been poorly marketed, hyper aggressive, and highly gendered. Maude is focused on making sexual care a part of your wellness routine. While creating products and access to education and awareness about your own body and sexuality, we create the opportunity to properly care for your sexual self, free of taboo.
Sex positivity and pleasure are more top of mind for people than ever before. Why do you think that is?
Dakota: I think a lot of human beings have been evolving to a consciousness where the concept of all consensual sex, sexualities, orientations, gender expression and sexual self-care are no longer viewed as cloaked in shame or depravity, but rather essentially healthy and to be respected and nurtured. I think humans are tired of feeling like something so primal, so profoundly a part of being human, is not widely accepted let alone nurtured and given proper attention and education. Sex is the most intimate thing humans can do and I would love to see a world where not only do we become nonjudgmental and respectful of sex and our bodies, but we learn to give ourselves and our partners the proper care and attention our sweet human bodies deserve.

Dakota Johnson and Riley Keough will star and executive produce in the limited series "Cult Following"
Platform One Media, a Boat Rocker company, has optioned writer Bexy Cameron’s upcoming memoir Cult Following, with Dakota Johnson (Suspiria, The Peanut Butter Falcon) and Riley Keough (Logan Lucky) attached to star and executive produce through Johnson and Ro Donnelly’s production company TeaTime Pictures and Keough and Gina Gammell’s production company Felix Culpa.
The project stems from TeaTime Pictures’ first look deal with Platform One.
“We were so happy that TeaTime introduced us to Bexy’s incredible story,” said Katie O’Connell Marsh, Platform One Media Chairman and CEO. “It’s rare to find writing so pure and captivating and this project is an incredible opportunity to bring a truly unique journey to life with two of the most talented actors working today and the fact that Dakota and Riley have been best friends since they were 15 is an incredibly exciting chemistry to bring to screen.”
Based on the book written by Cameron, the story follows her as she recounts her upbringing in the notorious cult Children of God. After emancipating herself at the age of 16 and building a life away from the cult, as an adult Cameron (Johnson) embarks on a road trip with a close friend (Keough) to investigate and document contemporary cults existing in America today. Two young women set out on the ‘adventure’ of a lifetime and Cameron’s emphatic, raw and at times incredibly funny experience on the road runs parallel to her examining and processing the psychology and trauma of her own childhood being raised in a cult. It’s a journey of meltdowns, meth cooks, monks, Jesus freaks, soap-making Armageddonists, surveillance vans, ex-Apple employees and finally, Cameron’s confrontation of her parents and ultimately herself.
“It has been a dream of ours since we launched TeaTime to collaborate with Riley and Gina at Felix Culpa,” said Johnson and Donnelly. “We are beyond thrilled to join forces and friendship to bring Bexy’s remarkable story to the screen. Alongside Platform One, we look forward to adding the final top notch collaborators to the team.”
Added Keough and Gammell, “We are so thrilled to bring Bexy’s incredible story to television alongside our dear, beautiful friends at TeaTime, Dakota and Ro. We couldn’t dream of better collaborators for this. Thank you Platform One, we can’t wait for this adventure.”
Johnson and Donnelly will executive produce through TeaTime Pictures alongside Keough and Gina Gammell through Felix Culpa and Cameron.
The memoir will be published by Manilla Press, an imprint of Bonnier Books UK, on July 8, 2021, in hardback, trade paperback, eBook and audio.
“It’s a dream come true, to be working with Dakota, Riley, Ro, Gina and Platform One,” said Bexy Cameron. “It’s overwhelming to think that such a stellar group of phenomenal women in the industry will be bringing my story to life.”
Cameron is repped by 42 for books and adaptation. The deal was negotiated by 42 and Ziffren Brittenham. Johnson is repped by WME, Untitled and Ziffren Brittenham.
Keough is repped by CAA, Thirty Three Management, and Hansen Jacobson.
Platform One is behind Simon Kinberg and David Weil’s sweeping Apple TV+ sci-fi series Invasion, now in production and Showtime series Rust, starring Jeff Daniels and Maura Tierney and created by Dan Futterman. In addition, also through the foirst-look deal with TeaTime, Platform One has a series in the works at Amazon starring Johnson, created by Christy Hall and to be directed and executive produced by Carrie Brownstein.
In addition to their deal with Platform One Media, TeaTime Pictures has several features currently in the works including Queens of the Stoned Age for Sony Pictures and Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know for MGM.
Felix Culpa’s projects include Simon Stone’s Sweet Lamb of Heaven and The Curse of Beauty written by Ottilie Wilford.
