The digital world was set ablaze as OnlyFans star Sophie Rain locked horns with Florida gubernatorial hopeful James Fishback. The drama unfolded when Fishback suggested a hefty 50% "sin tax" on adult content platforms, targeting Rain by name and challenging her to "pay up or quit." His bold proposition set off a whirlwind of reactions on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Fishback, vying to succeed Governor Ron DeSantis, tweeted on Tuesday: "Hey @SophieRaiin, Pay up or quit OnlyFans. As Florida Governor, I will not allow a generation of smart and capable young women to sell their bodies online." In response, the Florida-based influencer, known for her massive following, delivered a cutting retort: "sounds like you subscribed and got buyers remorse after dropping your annual salary on an OF girl."
“Politicians vs OF Models. Welcome to 2026 Everyone,” posted @Thefactsdude, encapsulating the fiery exchange.
Fishback didn't back down, issuing a follow-up: "Sophie, pay your taxes or quit OnlyFans. Those are your choices. I'm running for Florida Governor to stop smart and capable women like you from being exploited by that disgusting platform." Not one to stay silent, Rain released a video condemning the proposal as "insane," arguing it unfairly targets individuals "using their job to survive" while ignoring "multibillion-dollar corrupt businesses that don’t pay any taxes."
The exchange quickly went viral, drawing thousands of responses and sparking debates about the proposed tax, women’s autonomy, and political motivations. Some hailed Rain’s comeback as a mic-drop moment, while others supported Fishback’s moral stance.
Commentators on X were quick to add their voices. User @Dola_porr quipped, "We’re just in the first month of 2026 and we already got OF models cooking governors online," while @theoluminati offered a satirical take on Fishback’s proposal, racking up hundreds of views.
Fishback’s supporters framed his proposal as a battle against exploitation, with one noting, "Or he just doesn't want women to grow up and be paid whores like a third-world country," highlighting the divisive nature of the issue.
Both Rain and Fishback have yet to comment further on the controversy, which underscores the intersection of social media, politics, and the creator economy in Florida’s 2026 gubernatorial race. As this captivating saga unfolds, it’s clear the conversation is far from over.
