An OnlyFans content creator earning £12k-a-month claims her lucrative online career has left her “unemployable” and is cautioning single mums that the job is “not all it’s cracked up to be”. Tyler Wilson, 26, known as ‘Bluu’ on the platform, resorted to creating adult material after a car crash in 2019 prevented her from returning to her day job as an estate agent.
Success on the platform was instant, allowing her to treat her 10-year-old son to a trip to Disney World with earnings of £100 daily from subscribers to her explicit images.
But she quickly found out about the “ugly” side of her career when a clip of her speaking on a podcast went viral on TikTok and she was “bombarded” by death threats, calls to the police, her car being smashed up and ‘judgement at the school gates’ when she was asked to avoid peak pick up times. Tyler said she now faces “constant anxiety” and feels trapped in her OnlyFans career, viewing it as her “only choice.”
The Manchester mum-of-one said: “Within one week of my video going viral, I had the police called to my house multiple times, I had to take my son out of school and someone smashed up my car.
“I was very fragile and vulnerable [in the video] – I literally went on, thinking it would make me an extra £1k. It was a heated debate with someone who was against OnlyFans – I was reacting to him with a lot of emotion and trauma.
“As soon as my account blew up, my entire family knew – and all the mums at the school gates had seen it. It’s technically left me unemployable – I could end up losing my job if an employer discovered my content.
“I’m stuck in a rut where every time I need an income boost, I’d have to go viral again, or do a collaboration with another creator – I don’t want to do that.”
‘It was never extreme stuff, just explicit solo content’
Tyler’s foray into OnlyFans started after her estate agent job came to an abrupt end when a car accident left her with a broken collarbone, spine and ribs. After spending a month recovering in hospital, she continued to undergo surgeries on her injuries until May 2022.
She attempted a return to office work but confessed it was “painful” and eventually opted for a remotely handled estate management role, which brought in £800-a-month.
“I was so worried about having to leave my job – I was just in a position where I couldn’t really work,” Tyler said.
“I couldn’t keep coming to work in a neck brace – it was crazy. It was like being stuck in limbo, the online job was OK money – but I needed additional income.”
Tyler says she didn’t know much about OnlyFans when she made the decision to sign up in August 2022 – and thought it was like Facebook, where she’d be able to solicit business by messaging people’s accounts. However, she soon understood that to attract fans, she needed to circulate her link, leading to her setting up anonymous social media profiles to promote her material.
This strategic move saw her earnings skyrocket from £800-a-month to £700-a-week. “It was never extreme stuff, just explicit solo content,” Tyler said.

“I earnt my first £10k really quickly, which I spent on taking my son to Disney World, Florida, for two weeks. I also bought myself a £27k, brand new Audi TT in cash.”
In February 2023, while enjoying the financial “high,” Tyler was invited onto a podcast to discuss OnlyFans, which she saw as an opportunity to gain more subscribers. However, after the episode was posted on TikTok, it went viral, and Tyler was bombarded with negative comments, including accusations that she was “ruining her son’s life”.
She admitted: “The impact hit straight away – I spent ages replying to comments, when I should’ve ignored them.
“My son’s old school called me up pretty quickly to say they’d seen it – and I should probably avoid peak pick-up times in case any of the mums at the school gates kicked off.
“The police were called to my house so many times in just one week, following reports of ‘child abuse’ – it was a joke.
“I decided to stop actively posting on OnlyFans – but what’s on there is on there forever. And I’m still making an income from it – around £3-4k a week.”
‘It isn’t worth the anxiety’
The backlash generated from the viral clip kept going for three weeks – before starting to slow down. But Tyler says she still feels the impact of the content being “un-erasable” from the internet.
She and her son have since moved house to prevent trolls from finding her address – and she enrolled him at a new school.
“It’s an active worry for me that when he reaches a certain age, my son or his friends will stumble across my content,” she said.
“We have a good relationship and I’d never lie to him if he asked me about it – but I really don’t want him to go looking for it. High school is looking like another hurdle – but I know I’m in a position to homeschool if it comes to it.”
Tyler wants to warn other single mums not to be “tempted” by making extra income on OnlyFans – and she still earns enough to live on it full-time.
“It is better than what I earnt from my nine-to-five, but it’s more than passive income,” she said.
“In a moment of needing money, think about how the videos will likely stay online forever. It isn’t worth the anxiety.”
