Hey there, gossip lovers! Let’s chat about Lucy Banks, a 34-year-old Perth mom who swapped her corporate banking grind for something a little… spicier. Back in 2019, after a divorce, Lucy made the daring leap into the world of OnlyFans, trading 60-hour workweeks for a career selling sultry content on the adult platform.
Why the switch, you ask? It wasn’t just for kicks. Lucy shared that this move was all about giving her kids a better life - more time with mom and a hefty dose of financial security. Talk about a power move!
“I chose this path so I could be there for my children, working around their school hours and staying present at home,” she dished to news.com.au. Now, that’s a mom who knows how to hustle with heart!
Lucy always planned to be upfront with her family about her OnlyFans gig, but only when the time was right. She worked hard to shield her kids from anything inappropriate, keeping her risqué career under wraps. “I did everything to protect them from this world until they were old enough to understand,” she explained.
But not everyone was on board with her discretion. Some folks went out of their way to expose her secret, and one unsettling message from an anonymous subscriber left her shaken: “Hope you’re ready to face the school moms tomorrow - everyone’s gonna know.” Yikes, talk about a low blow!
Spooked by the threat, Lucy reached out to WA police, only to learn something even more jaw-dropping. An officer revealed she had five complaints lodged against her with the Department of Child Protection. Thankfully, she wasn’t under suspicion, but it left her questioning who she could trust in her inner circle.
As her online fame grew, keeping her X-rated career quiet became impossible. The inevitable happened when someone spilled the beans to her eldest son, who was just 10 at the time. Imagine Lucy’s shock when he casually asked, “Mum, do you do OnlyFans?”
“I was heartbroken that someone else told him before I could, but he was so chill about it. He even started asking about subscription prices and business strategies - I had to shut that down quick!”
Though upset that another adult broke the news, Lucy was relieved by her son’s mature reaction. He shrugged it off, saying people do worse things for money. Honestly, we’re impressed by this kid’s cool vibe!
Despite the drama, Lucy stands by her choices with zero regrets. She’s candid about the judgment Aussie women face no matter what path they take. “Whether I stayed in banking, lived off support, or didn’t work at all, people would’ve criticized me anyway,” she pointed out.
So, she chose the route that offered the most for her family - and boy, did it pay off! Over four years on OnlyFans, Lucy raked in a staggering $1.5 million. That’s some serious cash to secure her kids’ future while being a hands-on mom.
Now, while she’s stepped back from creating content on the platform, Lucy’s still in the adult entertainment game, working in PR and marketing. As for her kids? They couldn’t care less about mom’s racy past - they’re too busy begging for McDonald’s and playing sports. Typical kiddos!
