A former Hollywood child actor, best known for starring alongside Jack Black in the iconic noughties film School of Rock, has stunned fans with their new edgy appearance and adult content-creating career.
Rivkah Reyes, 33, who now also identifies as non-binary, uses TikTok and Instagram to promote their OnlyFans account.
However, they acknowledge that a lot of their success on the steamy site is thanks to their former career and playing the role of Katie in the 2003 hit movie.
On OnlyFans, Reyes posts the expected explicit adult content, alongside life updates and behind-the-scenes footage of their music-making.
In a video posted to TikTok last week, Reyes posted a video of themself staring into space as saxophones play loudly in the background.
Across the screen, the text read: “Being a former child actor means realising why my Oh Eff does so well.”
In the comment section, they suggested that they only make adult content to support their music career.
Reyes wrote: “Anyway would LOVE for ya’ll to support and check out my music so that I can quit doing the other thing.” The singer describes their music as “sapphic bubblegrunge”.
Reyes also recently shared a video of themself dancing very suggestively and effectively humping the floor of what looks like a dive bar with rock music playing over the top.
Although they obviously look completely different to their nine-year-old self, Reyes is almost entirely unrecognisable as their arms are covered in tattoos and they appear to often wear dark, revealing clothes.
The former child star was just nine years old when she got the role of Katie, the quiet but incredibly talented cellist-turned-bassist in the kids' musical comedy.
The Hollywood hit was fronted by Jack Black, who played the role of a struggling guitarist who fakes his identity and accidentally becomes a substitute teacher at a middle school.
It was such a success that in 2015, legendary composer Andrew Lloyd Webber adapted the movie into a smash-hit Broadway and West End stage musical. Nickelodeon also ran a successful three-season live-action television adaptation of School of Rock from 2016 to 2018.
However, tragically, after the film’s release, Reyes’ life became much harder, as when they returned to their normal school they faced daily battles against relentless bullies.
It ultimately led to them taking a very extended break from acting and only returning almost 15 years later in 2017.
In a 2021 interview with the New York Post, Reyes recalled: “Especially after production wrapped, when I first came back to school, people were really nice or really mean. There was no middle ground.
“I was literally followed around the school with people chanting School of Rock.”
They revealed that the harassment from their peers led to them becoming “a raging addict” and was forced to eventually overcome “a lot of demons”.

A child star from the School of Rock has opened up about how their role in the 2003 film resulted in them suffering from bullying and addiction.
The revelation comes after the release of the documentary Framing Britney Spears, which has prompted other child stars - such as Mara Wilson - to open up about how they were treated by the media at an early age.
In an interview with the New York Post, Rivkah Reyes - who, at the age of 10, starred as bassist Katie in the movie alongside Jack Black - opened up about the hardships that this early-career success brought them.
The actor, who uses the gender-neutral pronouns they/them, said that like Britney, they've "felt unsafe existing" because of the obsessive fans they gained from early fame, explaining that one man even tried to take photographs of them when they were at sixth grade in school.
The actor said that they was sexualized as a child, and even had grown men commenting on message boards when they was still underage, saying that they couldn't "wait 'til she's 18".
Reyes, like Britney, was bullied from an early age, however, it wasn't by the media or their Hollywood colleagues, but instead, their classmates, who made it a difficult experience to live with offset.
"Especially after production wrapped, when I first came back to school, people were really nice or really mean. There was no middle ground," they said. "I was literally followed around the school with people chanting 'School of Rock.'"
Reyes said that they believed they would never be anything more than "the girl from School of Rock," and that they was desperate to secure another, bigger role to change this and stop bullies from calling them 'Katie'.
The actor explained that from the ages of 14 to 24, they was a "raging addict" who relied on food, drugs, sex, alcohol, and self-harm.
I spent over a decade terrified that I’d peaked at 10 years old,” they wrote in a Medium essay.
However, despite their struggles, Reyes never regretted starring in the School of Rock.
"It was nothing but love and support," Reyes said of the experience. "I have never lost gratitude for that, or wish that I wasn't part of it."

It's got to have been at least a decade or so since I last watched School of Rock, and yet I'm fairly sure I could still quote the whole movie from start to finish. And that's no exaggeration - I loved that film.
I've pledged allegiance to the band of Mr. Schneebly (actually, it's pronounced shnay-blay), claimed to have a disease called "Stick-it-to-da-man-noisis", and I'm certain I've rolled out the classic, "You're tacky and I hate you" insult at least once in my life.
But, despite my childhood obsession with the Jack Black hit, I don't think I've ever revisited it for nostalgia's sake.
So, when I saw a picture of the now-grown-up Freddy, I was a little taken aback.
Fans of the flick will remember Freddy as the rebellious, sleeves-rolled-up, hair-spiked-back, doesn't-take-any-nonsense-from-substitute-teachers kid who originally took a dislike to Jack Black's character. Over the course of the movie, he transforms into a pupil with real drive and discipline, and uses his drumming skills to take the School of Rock band (almost) all the way to the top.
He was also probably one of the better actors in the film, which is surprising considering it was the first and last movie he ever starred in.
In fact, after shooting School of Rock, the actor who played Freddy - Kevin Alexander Clark - abandoned his dreams of becoming a film star and instead turned his focus solely to drumming.
And this is what he looks like now:
Now 29-years-old, Clark looks rather different to how he did as the baby-faced 14-year-old he was at the time the film was shot. Gone are his hedgehog hairdo and bad boy scowl - but he's still got the same cheeky grin.
Speaking about his experience on School of Rock and how the majority of his castmates continued in the film industry, Clark said, "Most of the kids left acting for other jobs," before adding, "no one expected me to still be playing, living in Highwood, and striving to be a rock star."
He's now the drummer of a band called Robbie Gold, and is based in Chicago.
However, he didn't completely leave his School of Rock persona behind, as he still keeps in touch with his former castmates - especially Rebecca Brown, who played Katie, the cellist/bass guitarist.
He also made the special effort to attend the opening night part of the School of Rock Broadway production, which is currently playing in the UK, USA, and Australia, and posed for photos with the on-stage version of his character.
So, while some of us might be a little sad not to see Clark continue on as an actor, it's great to know that he is putting his insane drumming skills to good use.
If you were surprised to see what Freddy looks like now, you'll be equally shocked by how these 10 former child stars look these days...
1. Summer "Tinkerbell" Hathaway - Miranda Cosgrove
2. Freddy "Spazzy McGree" Jones - Kevin Clark
3. Zack "Zack Attack" Mooneyham - Joey Gaydos Jr.
4. Lawrence "Mr. Cool" - Robert Tsai

Can you believe it's been over fifteen years since The School of Rock came out? Fifteen years since we pledged allegiance to the band of Mr. Schneebly and learned to stick it to The Man, but it doesn't quite feel like it's been that long, does it?
Well, one way to make sure you realise how much time has passed is to take a look at a recent reunion photo of the cast. Caitlin Hale (who played Marta) recently shared a photo of some of the kids together for some New Year's Eve celebrations, now all grown up, writing, "Seven School of Rockstars walk into a bar..."
The gang is back together
Zach Infante (Gordon) shared one too
Here's what they all looked like back in the day...
Becca Brown (Katie) had a reunion with Jack Black in November
Brian Falduto (Billy) is now a singer/songwriter and a life coach for the LGBTQ community
Zach Infante is currently performing on Broadway
James Hosey (Marco) is making music
Aleisha Allen (singer Alicia) is still acting and now a speech language pathologist

Jack Black and his School of Rock co-stars have been paying tribute to Kevin Clark after his death at the age of 32.
Clark played band drummer Freddy Jones in the 2003 musical comedy when he was just 13 years old.
The actor sadly passed away on Wednesday, May 26, after being hit by a car as he cycled through the Northwest Side of Chicago.
A "heartbroken" Black, who played Dewey Finn - an amateur rocker and substitute teacher in the beloved movie - took to Instagram to share an emotional tribute to Clark.
Alongside an image of him and Clark in the movie and a more recent image of them, Black wrote: "Devastating news. Kevin is gone. Way too soon. Beautiful soul. So many great memories. Heartbroken. Sending love to his family and the whole School of Rock community."
Miranda Cosgrove, 28, who played Summer in the hit movie, posted three photos of her, Clark, and the rest of the cast around the time they filmed the blockbuster.
She captioned the throwback pics: "Stunned and saddened by this news today. The world lost an amazing soul. I’ll always remember your spirit and how kind you were to me. I’ll never forget all the memories. You’ll always be missed Kevin."
Rivkah Reyes, who played Katie, shared a very lengthy and poignant tribute, revealing that she had spoken to Clark the day before he died.
She wrote: "We spoke yesterday about him being on an episode of where are we now. I know it would've been chaotic and hilarious and so full of love and hyping each other up because that’s how our friendship always has been.
"I’m absolutely heartbroken. Kev was my first friend on set. we instantly connected over being jews from chicago. he introduced me to green day and was the catalyst for my pop punk phase (which hasn’t ended.) he was always supportive of me and my endeavors."
She continued: "His family would often come to my comedy shows and plays, and every time tenacious D was in town, we would go together. we would sometimes run into each other randomly in chicago and he always gave me the biggest, warmest hugs.
"I’m so sorry to his beautiful mom allison, his siblings nicole and cary, and to everyone who experienced his friendship and loving heart. i miss him so much. i am so grateful that my fellow cast mates, including jables, have been able to support each other through this day. we are a strong, loving family. love you forever, spaz. [sic]"
Brian Falduto, 28, who played Billy in the movie, wrote: "I can’t believe we lost a member of the family today. I’ve developed such a love & gratitude over the years for the once-in-a-lifetime experience that School of Rock was.
"But what’s even more amazing is what it’s become over the years .. the reverberating impact it’s had in our lives & the lives of others. So much of that impact has to do with the once-in-a-lifetime combination of people that was part of that experience.
"Those same people remain very much a part of my life to this day. We will miss you, Kevin. Thank you for finally forgiving me (in 2016) for making you wear spandex & heels. So, so much love to you, you wickedly talented & wonderfully kind man."
Meanwhile, Zach Infante, who played Gordon, shared: "#RIP My heart is broken tonight as our SOR family grieves the loss of our drummer and chief, Kevin Clark. Please keep his mother and family in your thoughts and prayers.
"Kevin Was a wild child and who grew into a peaceful young man (yet still a rockstar).The balance he taught me is immeasurable. I remember when we held each other and laughed about old times at the 10 year reunion.
"Or when his easy going spirit balanced out my type A personality at our recent SOR family gathering. His death is a reminder to tell the people I love that I love them. To practice forgiveness. To express myself creatively. To stick it to the man. I love you Kev. #SchoolOfRock #KevinClark."
Clark shot to fame at a young age following the success of School of Rock, which was ultimately his only acting role.
He would later become a professional musician, with fans knowing him as the drummer in the band Dreadwolf, among others.
Our thoughts are with Clark's friends and family at this time.
