Kerry Katona has slammed Emmerdale actress Sammy Winward for ‘cutting contact’ with her daughter Mia after she made a racy OnlyFans account.
Model Mia, 19, is the daughter of the soapstar, 38, and claimed over the weekend that she has been estranged from her family after rowing over her racy shoots for the subscription site.
Kerry, who charges users $24.99 to access her account, has claimed to have made over £1million on OnlyFans, and insisted she feels ’empowered’ by the site.
Speaking about Sammy’s actions, the former Atomic Kitten singer branded the drama ‘so sad’ and said there was ‘no shame’ in the site.
She told OK! Magazine: ‘I think that’s so sad. Losing a relationship with your daughter isn’t worth it – and as an actress you’d think she’d be more understanding of the industry.’
Kerry added: ‘There’s no shame in doing OnlyFans. Don’t get me wrong, I’d have a meltdown if any of my kids started doing it.
‘I’d be livid – but at the end of the day, they’re my babies and I could never stop contact. It’s not worth it.’
She has daughters Molly, 22 and Lilly, 20 with her ex husband Brian McFadden who she was married to from 2002–2006.
Kerry is also mum to Heidi, 17, and Max, 15, with ex husband Mark Croft and eight-year-old DJ from her relationship with the late George Kay.
Previously she said how OnlyFans helped her out of a bad financial situation and she doesn’t see anything wrong with using her looks to make money.
The singer said to Jeremy Kyle Live on TalkTV: ‘This is a money-making thing. I’ve been through bankruptcies twice. I started out as a glamour model, I wasn’t going to be a rocket scientist.
‘I use my looks and my chest to get me out of the council estate. For me, all I care about it is what my kids think of me.
‘I’m earning lots of money and creating great memories, great adventures. It’s given me opportunities to create this amazing life that I’ve given my children.’
Mia earns up to £30,000 a month for selling racy images and videos, but hasn’t spoke to her Emmerdale star mother ‘for months’ because of her choice.
She recently said the pair had a row about OnlyFans four months ago and has been cut off from her mother and the rest of the family.
Sammy played Katie Sugden in the countryside soap for 14 years, before leaving in 2015.
Talking about the fallout, Mia told The Sun: ‘She said some pretty mean things when we did last speak, it was awful.
‘But I absolutely love my mum, I love all of my family but none of them speak to me now.’
Mia opened up an OnlyFans account earlier this year after she spoke to friends who were on the site.
She said: ‘I feel so empowered on OnlyFans. I am my own boss and I’m confident in myself and what I’m doing.’
Since being on the adult site, Mia admitted that she earns ten times more money then she used to for ‘about three days work’.
The model added that her days consist of filming content, uploading it to the site and filling out paperwork.
Despite raking in the money, and setting up her own business, Mia admitted that her family are not impressed and her dad – former Blackburn footballer David Dunn – has also distanced himself from her.
Mia went on to say that she appreciates her family and can see how they are being protective but hopes for a day in the future where they ‘move on’ and ‘rebuild’ the relationship.
She concluded that she does not see OnlyFans being a long-term career plan but for the time being it is helping her earn enough money to get into the property business.
In 2021 she appeared on ITV‘s Loose Women alongside her mum and revealed that she hoped to be an actor – just like her famous parent.
At the time the show aired, Sammy confirmed that she had her daughter when she was just 19-years-old.
Speaking via video link she said: ‘I always thought, “oh my god I’m only going to be 36/37 when she is 18” and I’m nearly there now and it’s just crazy because we just feel like best mates really.
‘Obviously there is the mother and daughter relationship but we’re more like best mates’.
