A formerly homeless teacher in the UK who stole money from her mom to fund her addictions is now a millionaire thanks to her work as an OnlyFans model
According to The Daily Mail, a homeless teacher turned model Eliza Watson, 31, credits OnlyFans for keeping her on the up-and-up after a period where she struggled with drug and alcohol abuse.
Eventually, the teacher turned OnlyFans model said her addictions caused her to fall out with her family, leaving her homeless — sleeping on friends’ couches or at the homes of strange men.
Watson said her life changed after a friend took her to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting and she began the road to recovery, saying “I was at the end of being able to cope. I’d made several attempts at suicide by then, spending time in hospital and police custody. I knew I couldn’t go on.”
While in recovery she took on a new job teaching young kids aged two to four while slowly getting back on her feet.
The Sun reports Watson loved the job but wasn’t making enough money to make a comfortable living or enough to pay off those she had wronged like her mother.
The former teacher launched her OnlyFans page in December 2019, at first posting photos from her younger days as a model.
But with the advent of the coronavirus pandemic in early 2020, Watson began raking in nearly $120,000 a month by drastically upping her time interacting with fans.
The model says she now works 16 hours a day, seven days a week, posting sexy snaps and talking to young and old fans, The Mirror noted.
The formerly homeless OnlyFans model has since stopped working as a teacher to devote herself full-time to her new career.
Watson has said she’s made over 1 million dollars in the past 12 months on the site and is now aiming to purchase a luxurious home for herself.
She said she’s been able to repay her mom and rebuild some trust in their relationship, though she acknowledged it has been a process.
