This Sunday, February 20, “Sept à Huit” broadcast the testimonies of Maryline, Bérangère and Nathalie, three women who chose to show their bodies on paid adult platforms. These are new kinds of social networks that have specialized in the dissemination of adult content on a large scale, sometimes allowing their users, amateur actors and actresses, to make a fortune. Like Nathalie, former candidate for “Secret Story”, who has set up a real business thanks to her online stripteases.
Today in France, thousands of women earn a very good living by exploiting the image of their body on the internet, by publishing sexy or even pornographic photos on a specialized social network: Onlyfans. Since the start of the pandemic and the first confinements, this phenomenon has really taken off. The principle is simple: allow Internet users to access naked, erotic or pornographic content in exchange for money. The goal for content creators: to get as many paying subscribers as possible. At the start of the report broadcast this Sunday evening on TF1, we discover the testimony of Maryline, 29, secretary in a solar panel company. In a relationship and in love with Valentin since she was 14, the young woman is the mother of a three-year-old boy. After her work, for six months, Maryline leads a double life: she becomes the star of a naughty social network, Onlyfans. Several times a week, she poses naked or in undress for her 1,200 subscribers. His companion accompanies him in his approach. And it seems to work very well: if they both won the Smic some time ago, Maryline’s activity is particularly lucrative: it brings her 10,000 euros per month. “It’s crazy, it’s insane to earn so much money” explains Maryline’s companion. The report was also interested in the story of Nathalie Andreani, former candidate of “Secret Story”.

A turnover of 150,000 euros per month
“It’s essential: the body remains a showcase for me, my working element. I can’t afford to put on five kilos and let myself go, it’s impossible.” From her gym, which she attends two hours a day, Nathalie Andreani, 51, tells her daily life on these new platforms. The former reality TV candidate explains that she is taking advantage of her popularity to seduce new audiences, starting with her 3,000 subscribers who pay today to be able to admire her body. Originally from Corsica, Nathalie has been a merchant since she was 20: she manages two ready-to-wear shops in Bastia. The confinement forced her to close her stores for several months. It was then that the former reality TV star discovered the potential of Onlyfans. Today, the nude business makes him consider the idea of selling his stores, which are less profitable than his online business.
Her business is now a family affair: her brother, a businessman, has been advising her since the beginning and her daughters are responsible for promoting her activity on social networks (by being paid the minimum wage). She has also created her own platform, without commission (unlike Onlyfans): she receives all the income from her subscribers. By combining all the platforms on which she is present, Nathalie explains that she can reach 150,000 euros in turnover per month.
Nathalie’s testimony provoked many exchanges on Twitter: while some hail her success, others denounce a form of prostitution 2.0…
