What would you do if you made more money in a day than most people make in a year? When Niamh O’Connor launched her OnlyFans at just 22, she earned €20,000 in the first 24 hours. But behind the glamour and financial freedom came exhaustion, pressure, and a growing sense that she’d lost herself.
In this episode, Jennifer sits down with Niamh to talk about what really goes on behind the scenes of OnlyFans, from the constant demand for content to the competition that pushed her to her limits. Niamh opens up about how the industry affected her mental health, her body image, and her sense of self-worth.
She speaks candidly about spending thousands on plastic surgery, the moment she realised she no longer felt empowered, and the difficult decision to walk away from it all.
They also discuss the online abuse Niamh faced, especially from other women, and the challenges of rebuilding her life in public, from paying to remove leaked images to finding confidence and purpose beyond the platform.
