A teacher who quit her day job to start up an OnlyFans account has revealed she's done so because "God told her to do it".
Speaking to the Daily Star, Courtney Tillia - who has made a name for herself sharing raunchy images and videos on OnlyFans - revealed that she was raised in a religious household where she was conditioned to be a "good Christian girl."
Tillia, 36, originally began her career at a Catholic school teaching autistic children, which was incredibly underpaid. However, her husband Nick Tillia supported her when she decided to make the switch from education to OnlyFans.
She says it was the support of her husband - as well as God himself - who helped her to realize that sharing content on the subscription website was meant to be.
"Before I left teaching, I felt super disconnected from myself and also God! I didn’t know what my life's purpose was or how I was meant to help others. When I started connecting to myself and to God in a different way than what I had been taught in church, I kept hearing and feeling the nudge to help liberate women from their sexual shame," Tillia told the outlet.
"I had so much sexual shame of my own at first! I remember being at a photoshoot that had several porn stars, and I was so triggered. I could feel the judgments that society and religion had instilled in me and I was very aware of it. That part of me felt like their sexual choices and expression were wrong and immoral. I even felt wrong by the association in that moment – but that didn’t feel like God telling me to feel that way," she added.
Moreover, Tillia suggests that working as an adult star and OnlyFans model is her mission from God. "God's message has been abundantly clear: I'm here to be a porn star. This is my way of serving. I'm showing others that pleasure and our sexual expression - even in porn and sex work - aren't meant to contradict God or exist separately from God. They are unified with God and holy," the model remarked to the outlet.
The ex-teacher revealed that, from over 18,000 subscribers on her OnlyFans platform, she is making between $20,000 and $100,000 each month. Not only this, but Tillia claims that she is actually more connected with her faith than she's been before.
"I am the most connected to God that I have ever been, while also being the least religious I've ever been. I don't need an organization or institution to tell me who God is or how to go about my relationship with God. I now reject any teaching or institutions that depicts God as an entity to be feared or to be judged by. God is loving, not fearful; and accepting, not judgmental," she says.
