MAFS alum Mishel Karen has opened up about running an OnlyFans page, saying that it is a lot more hard work than people assume.

Mishel starred in season seven of MAFS and turned to OnlyFans in 2020 after she was made unemployed due to her refusal to get the Covid vaccine. Over the past two years, she has shared some seriously raunchy content – including a video of herself and 11 other men and women partaking in a sex act.

Mishel charges $14.99 per month for access to her OF account, and currently has around 714 subscribers – meaning she makes approximately $10,700 per month before extra costs for personal messages and content.

However, the grandma-of-one has revealed that she believes that her published clips are just acting and that a lot more work goes into creating her content than many would assume.

“I learned during Married At First Sight that there isn’t much real in reality TV. I think the same could be said for OnlyFans – not a lot real in a porn video either,” she told Daily Mail Australia.

She continued, “There’s no build up of sexual tension or lust. It’s ACTION and you start the scene and when you’ve filmed what you need then they call “cut!” No one keeps kissing or having sex, it’s over.”

“I have never had so much fake sex in my life,” she added.

“Often you’re sexting with fans, and you’ve been busy cleaning all day and haven’t washed your hair and look like a mess but they are imagining you are sitting back in your bed masturbating over their picture.”

“It’s impossible to be feeling that aroused all day and night. But it’s my job to be ON when I’, talking to them.”

In a similar vein, Mishel told Reality TV Instagram account The Wash that some months she only makes enough money to pay her bills.

“People think that OnlyFans is a money printing machine and I don’t know about other peoples’ pages, but I know with mine I need to work on it. My fan numbers fluctuate so much it is hard to plan on big expenses, one month I can buy a car and the next I can just pay my bills.”
