A mum-of-four has revealed how starting her OnlyFans career has affected her family, from kids being kicked out of sports clubs to growing up on a farm.
Sara Blake boasts an impressive following on the saucy subscription site, but prior to the pandemic, she was living an entirely different life as a salon owner.
In June 2020, the 31-year-old, from Florida, was forced to shut down her two businesses due to the pandemic, which led to her change in career.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Sara - who lives in Florida with her husband and children - spoke about how her life has changed since turning to OnlyFans.
"I started doing OnlyFans in June of 2020. Before OnlyFans I was a salon owner. I had a salon in Tennessee and Kansas, both of which were recognised as award winning salons in both states," she told the publication.
"I started during the pandemic after becoming viral on TikTok and having my followers ask me if I had one."
Sara's account quickly gained traction, with many of her 24,000 Instagram followers rushing to sign up as monthly paying subscribers, generating huge income.
"When I started I was averaging £22,800 ($30,000) a month and it’s just gone up from there," she said, before going on to say how she's using the money to fund a better lifestyle for her children.
"I just bought a miniature farm with six acres, a barn, and stables. I drive a Ford Expedition and have a 2020 Mustang 5.0 that I race," Sara continued.
"Of course I would love to blow money on getting a Bentley Continental GT but I’m more interested in giving my family a good life and making modest decisions with my earnings."
However, as an OnlyFans model, Sara finds her family have been affected by her career – mostly because of judgemental fellow parents.
She explained: "They’ve experienced the bad of it with their cheerleading and football league banning their mum from being there and kicking them off the team as well. But they also see the respect I get from people in the sports and entertainment industry.
"I would get judged by other parents if I wasn’t doing OnlyFans, I dress sexier than other mums, I didn’t sign the PTO dress code, and I never will."

But, despite her children being young, and some people’s negative attitudes, Sara doesn’t hide who she is from her kids.
Sara told us: "I have four kids who are still very young. Aside from doing OnlyFans I have a huge following on TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter. I do sports predictions for Egotastic and write for ProSports Extra, they watch my predictions and see my TikToks.
"They have been with me when I’m approached or when people in public recognise me. I share interviews that I’ve done with them as well.
"In order for them to understand we have opportunities to experience things because of what their mum does, I want them to be appreciative and understand it’s work. My son will go to my trainer with me, I want them to see how much I put into this."
Despite any downsides, Sara insists she’s found her dream career.
The mum commented: "I love being an OnlyFans model because I can really connect with my following. We talk sports, sex, work, and relationships. I feel like since I do this all on my own, I’m building personal relationships with my subscribers and it’s really intimate.
"Being sexy, loving to have sex, and wear bikinis or lingerie is a dream come true job. I get to embrace and share who I really am without being shamed by others."
