Chicago – Popular OnlyFans star Lucy Banks may be one of Australia\u2019s most popular media personalities and content creators, but at home she\u2019s just Mom. So what happens when worlds collide – and the online fantasy meets a sobering dose of reality?<\/p>\n
\u201cSomeone told my kid that I do OnlyFans, and my son asked me straight out one day about my very adult secret,\u201d said Banks of the inevitable – and somewhat uncomfortable – conversation that followed her child\u2019s shock admission.<\/p>\n
\u201cI asked him if he knew what OnlyFans was, and he responded, \u2018It’s where you sell nudes\u2019. Someone in his life had told him this information, but he wouldn’t tell me who it was. So I asked him, \u2018How do you feel about it?\u2019 and was surprised by his answer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Banks revealed that her son wasn\u2019t particularly bothered by his mom\u2019s racy online career. \u201cHe told me, \u2018It’s fine. Who cares? People do worse things for money – have you heard of hitmen?\u2019 This led to an open, healthy dialogue, and I told him to come to me if he had any more questions about my job. He said, \u2018If you’re happy, then that makes me happy\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
As OnlyFans moms face outrage, trolling and animosity from other adults, Banks knows that their children can often fall victim to bullying, discrimination and expulsion from schools. \u201cLuckily we aren\u2019t having such issues, although I\u2019ve personally seen my share of unforgiving judgment from parents and neighbours.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a disgusting example of how OnlyFans creators are met with so much stigma and judgement. Someone tried to turn my child against me by telling him about my job, but joke is on them because he is so cruisy and is proud of me for providing for my children as a solo parent.\u201d<\/p>\n
