Camille Winbush’s OnlyFans account has been a hot topic for years.
The Bernie Mac Show actress has faced criticism for her decision to join the platform. Now she’s open about why her career took this route.
“People outside the acting world have no place to talk about it,” she said Comic hype. “When people say, ‘Oh, that one Bernie Mac the checks must have dried up.” I’m like, ‘From a job 20 years ago when I was 12 years old? Yes.’ Like, duh.”
While she noted that she still receives residual checks, she said they are “getting smaller and smaller every year. You’re not making the same amount of money you were making when the show was current, per episode,” she continued. “Twenty years later, those checks are no longer viable.”
She added: “If I can find a way to earn enough to buy a house from the comfort and safety of my own living room, why wouldn’t I?”
Last year, she clapped back at her haters online as people came for her and her Bernie Mac Show co-star, Dee Dee Davis, who also has an OnlyFans. Both actresses played Mac’s daughters, with Winbush taking on the role of Vanessa Thomkins and Davis, Bryana “Babygirl” Thomkins.
“The trolls are hungry again so here’s some food for thought: I’ve never been arrested, never done drugs, don’t have baby daddies, I pay all my taxes, I drink water and mind the business that pays me,” tweeted Winbush.
The 34-year-old announced her OnlyFans account on Instagram in 2021, writing: “Yes, you heard that right. I have become a member of OF! But I do it my way*. I say the things I really want to say, sing and dance and share exclusive content.”
Other former actresses have had to turn to OnlyFans to make a living. Sopranos star Drea de Matteo revealed earlier this year that she turned to the platform when she was experiencing financial and personal hardships.
“OnlyFans saved my life 100 percent,” she said Daily mail. “I can’t believe I’m saying that, but it really saved us. Anyone who wants to judge me and put me down, go for it. I just hope you never find yourself in the position I was in taking care of two little kids. ”
