Tyler Baltierra of Teen Mom fame was running a profitable OnlyFans page and recently shut it down very abruptly, without warning. He says it wasn’t because of the haters on the internet—and I believe him. Why? Pretty sure his kid’s adoptive parents going no-contact struck a nerve.
If you aren’t familiar with the Teen Mom lore, here’s your quick refresher: Tyler and his baby mama, Catelynn, placed their daughter Carly for adoption years ago and had maintained a generally positive relationship with her adoptive parents, which allowed them to be part of Carly’s life. Well, that recently changed. Their relationship with Carly’s adoptive parents appears to have been paused around the same time Tyler’s saucy side hustle was starting to really heat up.
Tyler was running a NSFW OnlyFans page and doing pretty well for himself there. But apparently, Carly’s adoptive parents didn’t super appreciate finding out that her bio dad was selling access to explicit images of himself—without at least giving them a heads-up so they could take steps to shield Carly from any potential blowback.
Is having an OnlyFans legal? Yes. Is there anything wrong with having an OnlyFans page? Nope. But if you were a star on a reality TV show that gave you some level of celebrity—and that show happened to center around the existence of a child whom you’ve placed in the care of other adults—should you maybe let those adults know they need to be on alert for the sake of said child’s safety? I didn’t think I’d have to say this, BUT YES, ABSOLUTELY, OMG.
When you place a child into someone else’s care, you may no longer be the custodial parent or decision-maker, but you still aren’t just living for yourself. Your decisions can still affect that kiddo, and giving her legal guardians all the information they need to make the best decisions for her is paramount. Basically, adult content isn’t the real issue here—secrecy is. If bio parents who’ve kept in touch with their child’s adoptive family decide to dip their toes into the NSFW content pool, giving legal guardians a heads-up is fair. Not because of outdated shame around sex work, but for the protection of the child. It gives guardians context to prepare for awkward questions—because kids are real good at those—and helps them safeguard against accidental exposure.
We’re deep into the era of oversharing, and hiding online activity is a neat trick—unless you’re literally sharing your bare ass. If you’re showcasing your cheeks for cash, someone’s going to find your content before Google can even autofill the search bar. And if you’re a parent to a child who isn’t in your custody, you owe it to that child to make sure their guardians—the people tasked with protecting them from things that could affect their development—have the full picture.
In short: Tyler was just trying to be a provider and found success on OnlyFans. Catelynn was being a supportive partner, cheering on her man as he built a growing business around NSFW content. Carly’s adoptive parents made the call they felt they had to, to protect her. Everyone’s feelings are valid here—but let’s not make OnlyFans the bad guy. It’s adults-only for a reason. Not everything in this world is safe for kids, and parents who create NSFW content need to be on the ball when it comes to protecting their little ones from ever seeing things their little eyes definitely shouldn’t.
Add in the fact that Carly’s birth parents already have some level of fame she was going to need to be prepared for, and it’s easy to see why her adoptive parents made the decision they did.
So for all future famous OnlyFans creators out there: if you’ve placed a child for adoption and want to maintain an open relationship with their adoptive family? Maybe give them a heads-up if uncensored pictures of your ass might be trending online.
