Kerry Katona's Revelatory Journey on OnlyFans

In the latest episode of "Olivia Attwood: Getting Filthy Rich," former pop sensation Kerry Katona opened up about her unexpected yet life-changing venture into the world of OnlyFans. This Padgate-born star, now 45, took a bold step during the pandemic, which not only saved her from bankruptcy but also redefined her financial landscape.

Turning to OnlyFans: A Lifeline in Crisis

Facing financial hardship, Kerry found herself in a tight spot. "I had to pay my rent," she candidly shared, explaining her desperate leap into OnlyFans. What she didn’t foresee was the immediate success – an astonishing £175,000 in her first month. "You couldn’t believe it," she reflected, highlighting the monumental shift this platform brought to her life.

“I couldn’t even buy a house because I was blacklisted, and because of OnlyFans, I was offered a mortgage," she revealed.

With this newfound financial freedom, Kerry not only managed to secure a mortgage from a high street lender – an unthinkable feat given her past financial woes – but also indulged in a few luxuries, including a unique Michael Jackson glove.

Breaking Barriers for Others

Kerry's transparency about her OnlyFans journey has sparked inspiration among fellow celebrities, encouraging them to explore similar paths. "Doing OnlyFans put me into the next level because I didn’t think I’d ever get work on TV again," she remarked. Her story has helped normalize the use of adult platforms as a viable means of financial recovery for celebrities.

Family First: Motivations and Challenges

Despite the success, the journey hasn't been entirely smooth. Kerry admits her children have faced criticism due to her career choice. However, her resolve remains strong, driven by the desire to provide a better life for her children. "I had nothing; I was living on ketchup butties while my mum was going out on the p**s," she said. "This isn’t about me; I’m just making sure I can provide for my children."

Emphasizing her commitment to her kids, she stated, "They’re the best five parts of me, and so much more. That’s why I’ve done what I’ve done so that they don’t have to do what I do." The episode, also featuring Katie Price and Love Island's Hannah Elizabeth, offers a raw look into the lives of those who have turned to unconventional means for financial stability.
