Shannon Elizabeth is launching an OnlyFans account to show off “a more sexy side.”
More than two decades after the 52-year-old actor played foreign exchange student Nadia in American Pie — and went topless in one of the film’s scenes — she is joining the adult content platform starting Thursday.
“I've spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career,” Elizabeth told People. “This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a more sexy side no one has seen, and being closer to my fans.”
She added: “I'm choosing OnlyFans because it allows me to connect directly with my audience, create on my own terms, and just be free. I really do think this is the future.”
Her bio on the platform states, “Here you’ll find the side of me that doesn’t make it into movies—more playful, spontaneous, and completely unscripted.”
Elizabeth did not immediately return The Independent’s request for comment.
Her manager, Andy Bachman, said in a statement to Variety: “Shannon has always been someone who genuinely enjoys connecting with and giving back to her fans, and this allows her to do that in a more direct, meaningful way than ever before.”
He added, “It’s a powerful model, and right now, there’s nothing more effective at facilitating that connection than OnlyFans.”
The actor told the outlet that her NSFW endeavor is about her connection with her fans, saying: “Reconnecting with my fans through appearances has reminded me just how much their support has meant to me throughout my career — and how much I’ve missed that energy.
Her statement continued: “OnlyFans gives me the opportunity to offer something more — a behind the scenes, unfiltered look at my life and a genuine connection that no other platform allows. This is also where I’ll be sharing exclusive content that you simply won’t find anywhere else. This isn’t just content to watch from a distance. This is for the people who have always shown up for me, and I want them to feel that.”
Elizabeth played the mysterious exchange student Nadia in the raunchy 1999 hit comedy, which brought her to fame in the early aughts. She went on to land roles in Scary Movie in 2000, Love Actually in 2003 and That ‘70s Show.
She has lived in South Africa since 2016, where she is focused on animal rights activism. She currently runs the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation and its Khusela Endangered Wildlife Sanctuary.
