OnlyFans star whose stepdad was her top subscriber reveals the colossal amount she made in a week after exposing him publicly
An OnlyFans creator whose stepfather was her top subscriber has revealed the astronomical amount she made after exposing him publicly.
For many people thinking of starting an OnlyFans career, the thought of a family member seeing your content by accident would be close to a nightmare.
But that scenario became reality for Taila Maddison, after she found out her top subscriber was none other than her own stepdad.
A trauma shared is a trauma halved, so Taila took to social media to share the wild story about how she caught him out.
She told VT that she'd turned to OnlyFans during Covid and soon found she was making decent money: "I was making maybe $1000 AUD a week, but that was still more than my retail job. So I was like, ‘okay, if I'm making this while still working full-time, then what would happen if I put full-time hours into this?’
“So it was still a risk. I started with nothing. I had $3 in my bank account. I was like, ‘whatever, let's just try.’”
She soon found that one particular subscriber accounted for a large chunk of her earnings on the platform, spending around $2,000 on her content - which later turned out to be someone very close to home.
Taila explained: "He would ask for selfies while I was at work because this was the time when I was still working full time. He'd be like, ‘can you show me what you're wearing today? What underwear you're wearing today?’
“And I was just like, oh, my God, this is kind of simple stuff. He just wants to see my G-string and whatever in a random selfie, and he spent $200 USD on it. So you think that it's really great.”
He revealed that he made a TikTok account with the same username he’d signed up to her OnlyFans with, which turned out to be a pretty big error on his part.
“I didn't have a very big TikTok at the time, so it came up ‘This person's viewing your page and it's from your contacts.’ And my ex actually said, ‘oh, imagine if it's your stepdad,’ and I was like, ‘there's no way. That's not going to be him.’”, Taila shared.
After checking her contacts to see which numbers it could possibly be connected to, Taila narrowed it down to a handful of people - and discovered her hunch was indeed correct.
Of course, people were left aghast when she shared the story with her followers on TikTok, and they soon flooded her comments to sympathize with her horror.
However, the extra attention on her story turned out to be pretty lucrative for Taila, who revealed that she'd made $125,000 in the week after speaking out.
She told VT: "That that is my biggest week ever. It's my bucket list this year to redo it."
Taila revealed that she made all of that on OnlyFans rather than TikTok, which is not monetized in Australia, adding: "That's the thing, once you get a taste, it's never consistent obviously - that's been my biggest week and then for the weeks following that was still great.
"But when you see that and you see what's possible with just one viral video, you're never gonna stop chasing it, which I think can be maybe a little bit toxic sometimes because you're gonna be sort of doing anything to go viral.
"It has been hard for me to see girls come up with - whether it's true or not true - but say these crazy stories and they're getting millions of views, but I can't lie - if I try and lie to the camera, you're gonna see straight through it, which is why I think my video did so well, because it was the truth."
She joked: "That was my biggest week and as much as I want it to happen again, it was trauma that got me there."
Taila revealed that most of the money came from new subscriptions on OnlyFans, and that it was cathartic for her to share the story.
She added: "I think it was a part of my healing process to post that TikTok. I wasn't completely over it but I was like people need to know about this."
Taila's phone blew up shortly after she posted the video as she went from less than a thousand subscribers to 14,000 in one day, as well as being inundated with messages.
She admitted: "I didn't know how to handle that because I was so new [to OnlyFans] still. I think I'd only been on there like six or seven months, so I didn't know what to do.
"If I had that exposure right now I would do things so differently."
