Nicola McLean has torn into celebrity OnlyFans stars, insisting the jaw-dropping earnings figures boasted about by some big names simply don’t add up.
The ex-glamour model hit out at stars for stoking unrealistic hopes by bragging about six-figure monthly hauls on the adult subscription site.
Talking on the Option One Podcast, hosted by Babestation, Nicola admitted she doesn’t buy the enormous sums that so often dominate the headlines.
The 43-year-old cautioned that everyday women risk being duped into thinking a quick online fortune is within reach – when the truth is usually far messier.
And in a no-holds-barred rant, she branded the celebrity claims flat-out “b******t”.
Speaking on the Babestation podcast, Nicola, who boasts 240,000 followers on Instagram @nicolamclean30, said: “You get celebrity females as well going, ‘I earn half a million pounds a month.’ It’s b******t.
“Then they’re giving half to the management, 20% to OnlyFans, 20% to the tax. What are you walking away with?”
Nicola took direct aim at stars including Katie Price and Kerry Katona as the conversation unfolded.
Nicola said: “People will go on like Katie Price and Kerry Katona go on these programmes and they’re saying, ‘I earn a hundred grand a month.'”
“Why do you feel the need to justify it?”
The former Page 3 favourite said she fears over-the-top headlines about sky-high OnlyFans pay-days could lure women onto the platform expecting the world.
Nicola said: “I feel like people are lying about what they’re earning and that is a worry because then you get really normal girls going, ‘I’m gonna do feet on OnlyFans and earn £10,000 a month.’
“And it’s not gonna happen.”
While making clear she has no problem with how anyone chooses to earn a living, Nicola reckons today’s creators are up against pressures the glamour modelling world never knew.
She said the limits that were once part and parcel of the Page 3 heyday have all but vanished as creators scramble to get noticed.
Nicola told the podcast: “For us Page 3 girls, we could have boundaries. For me personally, mine was topless. That’s it.”
The telly star also rounded on the growing number of agencies now running creators’ accounts, claiming plenty are pocketing enormous slices of performers’ cash.
Talking about the boom in management outfits, Nicola said: “I find that absolutely wild because they take 50% of the girls’ earnings.”
She also blasted the use of middlemen and automated tools to chat to subscribers behind closed doors.
Nicola said: “If you’re subscribing and paying £10 a month but you’re talking to a bot, that’s rude.
“How is that legal?”
Her remarks land amid an ongoing row over what life on OnlyFans is really like, with earnings boasts from the platform’s top names forever making headlines and pulling in thousands of hopefuls chasing a payday.
