Fitness influencer Chelsea Jenks credits her father with the idea to join OnlyFans.
“My dad is really into boxing, and you get a lot of women boxers who also do OnlyFans,” Jenks, 29, said in a press release shared with Us Weekly on Tuesday, June 9. “Years before I ever started, he actually said to me, ‘You should do OnlyFans.’ There was a female boxer he followed who had ‘no nudes’ written in her bio, and he thought it seemed like a good way to make money.”
The adult content creator continued, “I remember explaining to him it was a lot more than just pictures and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do it. Then, a couple of years later, I finally launched my page. It’s funny that my dad was the one who put the idea of joining OnlyFans in my head before anyone else.”
Jenks, whose Instagram account has 203,000 followers, explained that her father was strict while she was growing up and had strict rules about boys.
“When I was like 16, I remember asking my dad, ‘Oh, can I go stay at my boyfriend’s house?’ And he would straight up be like, ‘No,’” she said. “He didn’t want me to have sleepovers with boys, and we’d have to be in separate beds and things like that.”
Jenks said she told her father about her OnlyFans account shortly after its debut, expecting an awkward conversation.
“I saw my dad that weekend and said, ‘I’ve started OnlyFans, I don’t know if you saw.’ He’d already seen it and was just like, ‘Yeah, that’s alright,’” she recalled, adding that the account is now a running joke between them. “He’ll say things like, ‘Chelsea would flash her boobs and get paid for it.’ It’s very tongue-in-cheek.”
Jenks continued, “He 100 percent knows I do topless content. That’s always been clear. He asked me when I signed up what I’d be posting on there, and I was like, ‘Um, probably just, like, a bra, and maybe some see-through underwear?’ My parents know I do OnlyFans and that it’s more than just posting photos online. But I don’t think they need to know all the specifics, and honestly, I think that’s completely normal.”
Jenks added that her parents “love me for who I am” and have never judged her career choice.
“I’m a good daughter, I’m respectful, and I’ve got good manners. As long as I’m like that with them, they don’t really care what I do for work,” the British influencer said. “I see girls posting about their dads sending them horrible messages about doing OnlyFans. My parents might not love every detail of what I do, but they just want me to be happy and to make as much money as I can while I’m doing it to help set myself up for the future.”
While her parents have been accepting of her OnlyFans journey, Jenks said others haven’t been so open to the idea.
“When I first started, I went on a content trip with girls who were more in the porn star space. A family friend unfollowed me,” she recalled. “I messaged her to ask if I’d done something wrong, and she said she’d seen me on this trip with ‘all these porn stars’ and that putting my bum on Instagram was embarrassing. It was obvious the problem was OnlyFans.”
Jenks, who is in a long-term relationship, added, “People look down on girls on OnlyFans and assume we’re a certain way, but it doesn’t work like that. I’ve been with Will for about nine years — he’s the only person I’ve been with sexually in that time — but people still judge me more than they judge someone in a so-called respectable job who might be doing things behind closed doors.”
Jenks concluded that “everyone has different versions of themselves.”
“How you are at work isn’t how you are at home,” she said. “I’m a good daughter, I treat my parents with respect. I’m a pleasant person and I have good manners. As long as I’m not harming anyone or scamming anyone, why does it matter? At the end of the day, it’s work.”
