I can't comment on these specific individuals, but a situation like that is gutwrenching. Absolutely nothing against OnlyFans and other adult entertainment, there are tons of people who genuinely enjoy and take pride in the work, but if there's even a slight hesitancy or feeling of pressure to do it just to support their real careers, the notion seems deeply awful and psychologically damaging.

Kinda sounds like a reason some people might try to preserve or widen a gender pay gap. If they can't keep women barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, this is their next best thing.

I'm sorry to be the asshole here but ... She hasn't been on the charts for nearly 10 years... She probably amassed more wealth than most of us will in a lifetime. If she's unable to work a regular job now to keep up the lifestyle and has to sell feet pics... Sorry but boohoo

It's the smaller artists I feel for.

The ones with small feet?

Some people are in to that.

I don't really think she "has" to, at all. I think she saw an opportunity to make extra money and took it.

Ah they posting adult content? I didn't read the article and I thought they were using OF for their music.

And there are no album or CD sales any more.

A paltry few millions in networth. Please think of these starving artists
