Former Real Housewives Star Makes More Money In A Week On OnlyFans Than She Did On The Reality Show

Reality TV stars are people too.  As such, they're not immune from the phenomenon of turning their level of fame into some big-time cash behind a paywall.

Leah McSweeney, formerly of the Bravo reality show The Real Housewives of New York City is the latest celebrity - if you want to call her that - to make a ton of money on OnlyFans.  And by a ton of money, she claims it was more than she made on the reality show.

McSweeney made the revelation during an appearance on the Sofia with an F podcast this week.  In the middle of the enlightening conversation, complete with the word "like" being said on repeat with almost nonstop upward inflection, she said, "I'm making a s–t ton of money, which is awesome."

The host asked the "fired" reality TV star if she "made more on OnlyFans in a week than [she] did on the show."  She replied, "Yes."

"One week is more than one season," McSweeney added.  "Why didn’t I do OnlyFans sooner?!"

Leah McSweeney Has Found The Correct Formula For Turning Her Reality TV Fame Into OnlyFans Success

The 41-year-old elaborated on her love of the adult content platform and the type of content she shares with her subscribers.

"I f–king love OnlyFans.  This is great.  This is a wonderful platform where people aren’t censored.  They don’t have ads in their face constantly," she continued.

"They don’t have negative algorithms pushing bulls–t.  I feel supported.  I’m making money.  I get to express myself.  It’s fun.  I love it.  I’m being creative on it.  It’s dope."

McSweeney is enjoying the freedom on the platform and says of the content she posts, "Sometimes you see a boob or two!  Oh my god.  But it's also funny."

Boobs and humor?  What more do you need?  No wonder Leah McSweeney is topping her annual reality TV salary with just one week of work.
