Sophie Rain isn’t ashamed to be an OnlyFans model — and she sees no conflict between her line of work and her devout Christianity.
Rain, 20, grew up attending church every Sunday and her faith remains a significant part of her life.
"The Lord's very forgiving, and he put me on here. He put me on Earth for a reason and I'm just living every day," she told People in an interview published Wednesday, December 11. "If this wasn't meant for me, I wouldn't be here right now."
Rain first began posting on OnlyFans in May 2023 while working a minimum-wage job at a restaurant. She saw the success her sister was having on the platform and decided to follow suit. Her boss eventually found out about her page and fired her, but by then, she was already on the rise.
Now, Rain says she makes $43 million a year.
That number may sound outrageous, but a lot of it comes from tips from her fans. She explained that one of her fans, Charles, sent her nearly $5 million between November 2023 and November 2024.
With her sister also using the platform, as well as her “friends and cousins,” Rain’s family has been “very supportive” of her career.
"I didn't tell them when I started it. At first, I kind of kept it a secret, and then they found out and they were upset," she said. "I was kind of nervous at first because I wasn't sure what they were going to think of me as, if that makes sense."
She added, "I just told them straight up that, 'I post content online, this is what I do. If you can support me or you don't support me, and I'm sorry, but I can't help you guys.’ But regardless of the situation, they didn't care. I'm their child and they love me."
And yes, she’s seen the criticism from others. She’s read the names she’s been called and doesn’t care if people even consider her a model.
"You can call me whatever you want," she wrote via X above a post calling her a prostitute. "I will be laughing my way to the bank."
She said she views the hate as motivation, even if she doesn’t understand where the hate comes from.
"Honestly, all the people online that hate me — and they post the mean comments and everything — that's what motivates me to just keep growing and to keep booming and keep doing my own thing," she said. "It just makes them mad for no reason. They don't know me."
