An influencer who was living a double life has revealed how her family reacted when they found out about her career.
Mona Wu is making a fortune selling saucy snaps and videos of herself online – but for a long time was forced to keep her job a secret.
But the 33-year-old was so successful that her influx of cash soon became too difficult to hide.

Mona, who has 374,000 followers on her Instagram page, @monmontw_, claims to have made £100,000 in just one month.
Having grown up in a “conservative” household, Mona was concerned about what her family would say – especially her mum.
But as it turns out, the model didn’t need to worry at all.
“I was afraid of being scolded, so I hid my career from them at first,” said Mona.
“For months, I lived a double life – shooting videos in secret and hoping none of my family members would stumble onto my social media accounts.
“My boyfriend was the only one who knew what I was up to.
“But eventually, I knew I had to tell my mum.
“I wasn’t ashamed of what I was doing but I grew up in a conservative household, and I worried that she would be upset.
“I was stunned by her reaction – she wasn’t fazed at all.
“Mum was really supportive and encouraged me to pursue my passion.
“But I was even more shocked by how other relatives reacted.”
After sharing how much money she was making, Mona admits that some of her family members were intrigued.
A few of them even asked how they could “follow in her footsteps” and make some extra cash of their own on OnlyFans.
Mona said: “Two of my family members now have accounts of their own!
“I’ve given them some tips on how to film good videos – the lighting, setting the scene etc – but I don’t watch their content
“And they’ve told me that they’re making some great money on the side.
“I know some people might say it’s odd that I inspired my family to join OnlyFans but I had no hesitation in doing it.”
The model, who is from Taiwan, believes that the adult site is a great solution for people who just need a little extra pocket money.
She added: “I show my face online but you don’t have to.
“That’s the best part of this job – you can reveal as little or as much as you want.”
“It’s been a great side hustle for my family members.”
