Tricia Helfer, the iconic actress from Battlestar Galactica, is stepping into a new chapter of her life by joining OnlyFans. In a recent chat with People, Helfer revealed her motivations behind this bold move, sharing her desire to shake off societal expectations and embrace her own freedom. "At my age, I am in my 'do what I want' phase of life. I'm tired of being told what to do and how to do it. I'm looking at it as something to have fun with and something that I can be in control of," Helfer explained.
For Helfer, this platform isn't just about showcasing her glamorous side. While OnlyFans is known for its racy content, Helfer intends to keep things both sexy and genuine. She plans to share a mix of professional photoshoots and personal moments, such as spending time in her garden in a bikini and work boots. Her aim? To merge the "sexier side" of her brand with the authenticity of her everyday life.
"I enjoy shocking a little bit. Would I shock my parents with the images? Probably. But they saw [me in] Playboy, and they appreciated why I had done it," she candidly shared.
Helfer is no stranger to the world of modeling, having graced the pages of Playboy and walked the runway for Victoria’s Secret. Her past experiences have shaped her approach to OnlyFans, where she wants to maintain a certain level of elegance and artistry. "I see OnlyFans as an extension and a modern-day growth from those type of press outlets from the past," she said.
But it's not just about the glamour. Helfer is also keen on using her platform for good. With plans to donate some of her earnings to animal charities, she's combining her passions for creativity and philanthropy. Despite some potential concerns from others, Helfer reassures her fans that she's in control of her content and is excited about the opportunities ahead.
OnlyFans has become a significant part of the pop culture narrative, with many celebrities joining the platform for various reasons. From financial gain to creative expression, the platform offers a double-edged sword of benefits and challenges. The Sopranos’ Drea De Matteo, for instance, credits OnlyFans with helping her save her home, while Jessie Cave notes the financial benefits alongside unsolicited attention.
Helfer joins this roster of stars with a clear vision and a playful spirit, ready to explore this new avenue while staying true to herself. "I’m using this platform as an extension of my creative, fun, and flirty side," she enthused, looking forward to what lies ahead on this exciting journey.
