Kirsten Vaughn: From Fired Mechanic To Onlyfans Millionaire

The Journey from Mechanic to Mogul

Kirsten Vaughn, who captured headlines back in 2020 when she lost her mechanic job due to her OnlyFans account, isn't dwelling on the past. Instead, she's embracing her new path with confidence and a touch of humor. "It's like turning lemons into margaritas," Vaughn quipped during an exclusive chat with Us Weekly, reflecting on her unorthodox career trajectory.

Shortly after her termination, Vaughn began working at a different mechanic shop, thanks to her now-husband's father. What started as a volunteer gig turned into a brilliant business opportunity. By 2022, Vaughn had not only invested in the shop but had also taken charge of the financial operations. "I own my own shop pretty much," she proudly shared, marking a significant milestone in her entrepreneurial journey.

Success on Her Own Terms

Alongside her mechanic ventures, Vaughn has continued to thrive on OnlyFans, the very platform that initially stirred controversy. Since launching her account in 2020, Vaughn's online presence has catapulted her to millionaire status, thanks to a mix of savvy business acumen and her "MsRed" or "VermilionVixen" persona.

Vaughn's message to her former employer is as bold as her success: "Thank you so much for firing me," she said with a sly smile. Her story gained traction when coworkers at her Indiana-based job discovered her OnlyFans and allegedly viewed it during work hours, leading to her contentious dismissal.

Navigating Public Reaction

Reflecting on the fallout, Vaughn recounted how a coworker's spouse reported her content, which was supposedly made on company premises - a claim she disputes. Despite the ensuing drama, Vaughn remained unfazed. "I was instantly so mad because I was like, ‘This is so hypocritical,’” she recalled of facing her managers.

The decision to continue her OnlyFans work was a no-brainer, especially when she was earning double her mechanic's wage from it. Vaughn's candidness about her earnings and her refusal to back down struck a chord online, sparking both support and controversy.

"I did not expect that level of negativity, honestly," Vaughn admitted about the backlash, which included disturbing death threats. Yet, she stands firm in her choice, balancing her dual careers with grace and resilience. "I never planned for any of this to happen," Vaughn confessed, finding herself swept up in unexpected opportunities and riding the wave of success.
