Adult content star Kat Holmes made the candid admission after it emerged Lily Phillips, a young woman from Derbyshire, made £2million from using the same site – OnlyFans
An adult content creator who makes her old annual salary in one month has opened up about what her parents think about her unusual career.
Kat Holmes, 29, ditched her role as an admin worker in a hospital to share racy content on OnlyFans as a living full-time. She says she rakes in £30,000 a month, which was her yearly pay packet at the hospital.
Her case echoes that of Lily Phillips, a British woman who has now reached international notoriety as a pornographic model. Her career choice has divided opinion as, while it has helped the 23-year-old woman secure a plush pad in west London and set her sights on a home in Derby, her parents are yet to embrace it.
And Kat’s family reacted a similar way, she has confessed in a candid interview. Kat said she has even been “cut off” by her parents. She added: “They view me differently because of my job but I am still the same person regardless of what I do… It was a very hard and depressing transition because you don’t get to speak to your family as much. Being cut off was very hard but I’ve accepted it now.”
Kat, originally from Sydney, Australia, used to see her family on a weekly basis before she joined the site in September 2021. Since then, she claims she has been cat adrift from her parents, who raised her in a single-income household in Sydney as an only child.
“It’s my body and I’m still the same person. I think my family’s conservative perspective is that they can’t be seen or associated with me because of my job,” Kat told Daily Star Online, our sister title.
“I’ve got no regrets. Essentially I earn a lot more than any of my family ever did in the last 12 years of their careers so I’m still really far ahead and they’re still working every day. It’s quite funny really.”
Kat’s unusual profession is topical as OnlyFans continues to grow in popularity – and divide the nation. Some people have called for a ban on the content creation site, founded in London in 2016. They argue the site promotes irresponsible behaviour.
But Lily, from Derbyshire, and Kat have both said their decision to pursue its work full-time has helped them reach financially freedom. Kat lives in $1m (AUD – £500,000) three-bedroom property in Brisbane and, despite being cold shouldered, is still able to offer to help her parents out financially with things like groceries and electricity bills.
The former admin worker continued: “I’ve offered them a couple of thousand dollars here and there. Most of the time they won’t take it. They say they’re not taking it because they want nothing to do with me.”
