Piper Rockell, OnlyFans, and why the internet is furious with her
The 18-year-old YouTube child star turned influencer recently joined the adult content production platform and made nearly $3 million on her first day.
Emmy Award-winning actress Jamie Pressley is paving a new path for her Hollywood career by launching an OnlyFans page.
Presley, 48, told People magazine on May 7 that she started the business to “make what I want, how I want, and share it directly with the people who have supported me over the years.”
“I have always believed in evolving with the times,” the actress said in a statement first shared with TMZ. “This is another way for me to connect directly with my audience in my own way, with creativity and intention. I love meeting fans at various Comic-Cons, and the excitement of having face-to-face moments inspired me to explore options like OnlyFans.”
USA TODAY has reached out to a Pressly representative for more information.
“Here, things are a little more personal, playful, and completely unfiltered 🌶️,” her OnlyFans profile reads. The page promises “exclusive photos,” “videos,” “behind-the-scenes moments from my life,” “late night thoughts,” one-on-one chats, and “a side of me you don’t always get to see in Hollywood.”
Presley, who won an Emmy Award in 2007 for playing Joy Turner on all four seasons of My Name Is Earl, went on to co-star with Allison Janney, Anna Faris and Mimi Kennedy on the CBS sitcom Mom, which aired from 2013 to 2021.
Presley, who is also known for her roles in the 2000s comedies “I Love You Man,” “Joe Dirt” and “Not Another Teen Movie,” has focused on her television career in recent years, appearing in “Welcome to Flatch,” “The Conners” and “Elsbeth.”
Hollywood stars like Shannon Elizabeth and Carmen Electra join OnlyFans
Other Hollywood stars have made headlines in recent years by starting OnlyFans accounts, including Bella Thorne, Sonya Morgan, Tyler Posey, and Carmen Electra.
Perhaps best known as a lucrative place for those who share sexual content, the subscription-based platform’s creators use their expertise to offer a variety of services and entertainment, from exercise to music.
Weeks before Presley, “American Pie” actress Shannon Elizabeth, 52, also joined the platform on April 16, taking over the reins of her career.
“I’ve spent my entire career in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and outcome of my career,” she told People magazine. “This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a sexier side that no one has ever seen and getting closer to our fans.”
Andy Bachman, CEO of Creators Inc., which helped Pressly launch her OnlyFans business, told Variety that Elizabeth “made seven figures in her first week on the platform.”
