Jaime Pressly, best known for her time on 2000s sitcom My Near Is Earl, has joined OnlyFans and caught the eye of fans with her first post.
Pressly, 48, announced the move this week, with many of her followers left shocked by the move.
It isn't the actress' first venture into NSFW content, having posed nude for Playboy around 22 years ago.
She has teased potential subscribers with explicit content, writing in the bio of her OnlyFans page: “This is where things get a little more personal, playful, and completely unfiltered.
“A little sweet, a little wild, always authentic.”
The page officially opened for business on Thursday (May 7), as she joins the ever-growing list of Hollywood stars who have ventured onto the platform.
Her friend and fellow 2000s star Shannon Elizabeth also recently broke the internet by starting her own OnlyFans page.
Speaking to Variety, she shared: “I’ve always believed in evolving with the times.
“This is another way for me to connect directly with my audience, on my own terms, with creativity and intention.
“I’ve loved meeting fans at various Comic Cons, and the excitement of having those real face-to-face moments made me want to seek options like OnlyFans.”
It turns out that Pressly didn't come to this conclusion on her own, as she enlisted the help of Creators Inc.
The agency's CEO, Andy Bachman, helped consult the actress on the move, and also told the publication: “Jaime Pressly has the rare mix of mainstream star power and a real audience connection that modern platforms reward.
“She’s an elite entertainer, and fans are going to love what she creates here.”
Apparently, she has “grossed seven figures in her first week on the platform,” with the page promising to share a range of content.
This ranges from “exclusive photos” and videos to “behind-the-scenes moments from my life,” “late-night thoughts,” one-on-one chats, or “the side of me Hollywood doesn’t always get to see.”
Pressly is best known for portraying Joy Turner on NBC sitcom My Name Is Earl, which aired from 2005 to 2009, garnering an average of almost 11 million viewers in its first season.
The popular sitcom soon hit the international mainstream, and Pressly herself reaped the rewards.
She won the Emmy for outstanding actress in a comedy series, while playing Joy on the show.
Pressly would later star in TV roles such as CBS sitcom Mom and Welcome to Flatch, with the former earning her a Critics’ Choice Television Award nomination.
You may also recognise Pressly from films such as Not Another Teen Movie and I Love You, Man.
As a friend of Pressly's, Elizabeth opened up about why she's chosen to start her own OnlyFans page.
Shannon confirmed that rumors of her earnings were correct, telling ET that she made more on the spicy subscription site than she did for most of her biggest movies combined.
She further explained to People: "I’ve spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career.
"This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a more sexy side no one has seen, and being closer to my fans.
"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."
Reports had claimed that her first week was so fruitful that she'd earned over $1 million.
