An OnlyFans content creator stumbled upon an unsettling revelation, prompting her to reconsider her involvement with the platform.
Sharna Beckman had likely intended to maintain a clear distinction between her activities on OnlyFans and her personal life. However, one unexpected discovery likely made this separation much more challenging.
While some creators on the platform actively promote their pages at every opportunity, others choose to maintain a low profile, supplementing their income while leading regular lives.
Keeping things discreet can make it easier to avoid unwelcome comments from acquaintances and family members.
Unfortunately, Beckman found herself in a difficult situation when she realized that one of her subscribers was actually a relative.
This unexpected revelation was both awkward and unsettling.
According to Beckman, her own cousin, with whom she had a close relationship growing up and still saw at family events, had been a subscriber to her OnlyFans account for over two months.
In an interview with Yahoo! Lifestyle, Beckman recounted confronting her cousin, who offered what she considered to be a flimsy explanation.
“He tried telling me that it wasn’t him, it was actually his friend, who was married, so couldn’t use his own name or credit card,” she explained. “My cousin apparently kindly offered to share his name and credit card to allow this other guy to join my page.”
Feeling ‘sick to [her] stomach’, Beckman expressed disbelief in the story and challenged her cousin about why he would subscribe to her OnlyFans and purchase additional explicit content.
Despite her frustration, Beckman opted not to inform her family to avoid creating any awkwardness.
“So, I removed my cousin from my OnlyFans account and blocked his phone messages,” she stated. “I just don’t get why he would subscribe in the first place, and then use his real name. Like, did he want me to know it was him? And then what?”
Since discovering her cousin’s subscription, Beckman has been avoiding family gatherings by making up excuses.
“I didn’t tell my family as I didn’t want to cause drama between everyone, I felt super awkward about it already,” she commented, adding: “I think it will cause some drama and that he will probably deny it and make me look like a liar.”
Despite these unexpected challenges with her audience, Beckman has found success on OnlyFans, earning six figures monthly from the platform.
“I’ve always known that I would be in the sex work industry,” she previously stated. “I love exploring my sexuality and trying new things; its opened up a whole new world for me.”
