The Josh Innes Show - Lady Get's Rich On OnlyFans

Episode Date: October 17, 2025

I'm fully aware that many, many women are rich from OnlyFans. But, this woman was featured in USA Today and her story is somewhat intriguing. Basically, she had aspirations of being a homemaker. Then her dude left her and she decided to dive in to the OF world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I'm intrigued by this story. The headline reads, Her dream of becoming a trad wife fell apart. Now she's an only fan's millionaire. Now, what is a trad wife? Admittedly, I had to look this up because I have no clue what a trad wife is. Well, a trad wife is just a, it's short for traditional wife. I don't know why we couldn't just put traditional wife in there.

For us dipshits that don't fully understand the abbreviated title here, but a trad wife is someone who just wants to be like a traditional wife, I guess. If the definition I'm reading is correct, a trad wife, a portmanteau of traditional wife is a woman who embraces and promotes a traditional, often 1950s-inspired, homemaker role for women. This lifestyle popularized by social media influencers centers on traditional gender roles in which the woman cooks, cleans, and raises while her husband is the primary provider. Well, hell, that doesn't sound so bad, does it? but she wanted to do that of course people would judge you if you want to be that right because any woman that says hey i like the the traditional gender roles that person gets shit on so anyway but this person wanted to be a trad wife apparently but now is an only fan's content

creator and not a trad wife okay so now you know uh let's play a couple commercials and let's see how much money this lady is now making on only fans instead of you know cooking and cleaning All right. Let's see here. Story. At 36, Elena St. James says she thought all her dreams were about to come true. The husband, the children, the white picket fin, she'd long for since childhood. They were within reach, or so she thought. After four years, she says the man, she once considered her happily ever after, dumped her via email, and her views changed drastically. What? Boy, what a shitty way to go. Dumping somebody over email. What a shitty dude. Like, listen, there's a lot of shitty dudes and there's a lot of people who do shitty things. But if you're going to dump somebody after four years, maybe that relationship was never anything good, ma'am. If you're going to get dumped after four years from a dude via email, maybe that thing was never good and maybe you misread what the situation was. Now, St. James lives alive far from what she dreamed about. At 58, she's an adult content

creator on OnlyFans, a subscription-based website where she says she's made over 1.3 million since joining. I don't feel like the math makes sense on this. So this chick got dumped 18 years ago. This chick's 58. I feel like the math is wrong on this. Like, who's watching this 58-year-old chick get it on the internet? Not to say that 58-year-old chicks can't get it on the internet. As we've discussed on the show before, we are like older women. We believe that older women are beautiful lovers. So we are of that belief, but it just feels like the math doesn't work out that this person at one time wanted to be a trad wife at 36

and now it's been 22 years since this guy dumped her? I don't know if the math works out on this. Maybe it's a typo. I don't know. Because that chick doesn't look 58. Okay, I'm looking at it. I mean, she could, I guess she could be, I guess maybe she's 58.

Gigantic knockers, by the way. I'm not seeing the bare breasts here. I'm only seen through a top, but she's certainly well endowed. Before then, St. James says she'd aspired for the lifestyle touted by today's self-proclaimed trad wives. She pictured herself as a homemaker, subservient to her husband. If the trend had been around back then, she thinks perhaps she would have been a trad wife influence. Okay, so maybe it was 20 years ago. St. James knows her journey from a trad wife in training,

as she calls it to Onlyfans model, is an unusual one. After all, most women neither identify as trad wives nor work in adult content, two camps that seem to be at odds when it comes to how women should express sexuality and seek fulfillment. Let's see. Still, St. James believes people can learn from her story. The way she sees it, her life offers both

a warning to those who think they have it all figured out and hope to those who think it's too late to make a change. It also highlights the pressures women face amid a surge and conflicting labels and world views. Yeah, because there's a lot of women that want to be quote unquote trad wives and they love the idea of being a homemaker and being a mom.

The problem is you get these fucking wackos on the internet that have blue hair and nobody wants to fuck them anyway, and they're out there telling you that it's terrible to be a traditional wife or that it's terrible to be somebody that's out there that's just content with not having a career, someone that just wants a husband and somebody that wants to take care of their kids. But those people get judged. You can call it a surge of conflicting labels and world views. The reality is there's still a fuck ton of ladies that would like to have a job, but still be a mom. There are some that just don't want to have a job and want to be a and want that to be their gig.

Yet you pressure these people because there's a bunch of people that are unappealing slugs that go to the internet and make those people feel like shit because they're bullies and they're gross and ain't nobody wants to see their fucking libed out puss anyway. But of course, you have to. You have to act like, you know, your career driven and everything and a lot of people aren't. And that's okay. So don't call it conflicting labels in worldviews. The most vocal people are the angriest people.

Quote, women need to understand that nothing is permanent and that's good and bad. As long as you are alive, you can reinvent and that's to men too. You can at some point decide that your happiness is more important than somebody else's, especially if that somebody else doesn't treat you with love and respect. See, I want to know the details here. Growing up, St. James says she first dreamed to becoming an actress or a singer like her childhood hero, Share, Dolly Partner, Carol Burnett. Yep, she's 60.

But the conservative culture around her influenced her views, she says. So instead, she set her sights on marriage and family and pushing any career aspirations to the wayside. And you know what? That's not a horrible thing. Maybe that's who she wanted to be. I was told early on that a woman has a shelf life as far as being attractive, and that was around 40. And then you become invisible. You have only one value, and it's your looks.

St. James worked various jobs while waiting patiently for Prince Charming. Eventually, she says, he arrived via Match.com. I feel pretty confident that he didn't arrive via Match.com because I feel that most Prince Charmings are not going to arrive via Match.com, but what do I know? That's one thing that I am very judgmental on. It's people meeting each other on the internet. I think that there's something to be said about meeting people in person and having something build that way.

I'm not a big believer that good things come from Match.com, but what do I know? The man, a handsome lawyer, she says, wanted a wife, check. He also wanted kids, check. In short, he was everything St. James thought she wanted. It was like, this is the lottery. I won the lottery. This is what I've been waiting for my whole entire life. This is worth the wait.

And of course, you know, that person, you know, Bolton. The guy had a controlling nature. She felt cracks form in their relationship. At one point, she recalls they decided to live separately for a month. Not long after, she said she got an email from him ending the relationship. Who would have thunk that your dream relationship that's started on the internet, was not exactly a good one. Who would have thunk that was possible?

Now, give me some details on your only fan. She hasn't spoken with him since, blah, blah, blah. The years that follows were brutal. St. James struggled financially working various jobs. At one point, she says she was making about 30K a year with no benefits. On top of it, she says she also had to provide for her son, whom she conceived through a sperm donation. My goodness.

Like, ma'am, you mean. some asshole on the internet that of course turns out to be an asshole and you get knocked up via some guy's sperm. I'm not judging. It's just strange. In 2021, St. James came across a People magazine article about a woman who made $100,000 a month on a website called OnlyFans. She thought it sounded like a scam.

It turns out it's not a scam at all, ma'am. You flash your coos for some creeps on the internet and you can get rich. A few months later, she decided to take the plunge and join the website. Leaning into her age, she says, helped her find a niche, and she's since exploded in popularity. Onlyfans comes with sacrifices. She lives with deep concerns about her privacy and safety. She receives violent threats regularly. So do her family members.

People in her life have also started treating her differently, including her son's teachers. Well, I mean, it would be hard not to. Like, in defense of those, I'm assuming guys or gals, whoever it is, if they know that you're doing porn on the internet, like you're going to. to look at people differently. Still, she says she wouldn't trade her life for the subservient housewife role she once wanted. I went through the withdrawal when you're in the position and you're tossed aside. Your whole existence was about pleasing somebody else.

And then that person rejects you. And you're like, well, now what? Now she goes out there and makes fucking bank on only fans. Good for this chick. I'm all about chicks doing things on only fans. Like, yes, there is a negative side to it. And yes, there is a potential for weirdo. creeps to stalk you, and yes, you have to show your beaver on the internet, which is not

always the greatest thing I would imagine. I've never shown my beaver on the internet, so I have no idea. But if the option is, go make $30,000 a year working at dress barn, or you have the option to just flash your coos on the internet a little bit and say, hello, friends, it's me, and make $100,000, or however much a month, I mean, you're going to take that. Now, I don't know that this chick's $100,000 a month chick, but what if she's a $10,000 a month check or a 15 or 20 grand a month chick. Shit. If anybody wanted to see my tiny dong and balls, I'd be like

hello ladies. Of course, that's the thing. Women don't have the say, like women don't have fetishes like that. Like men have like thousands of kinks and I'm not going to kink shame these people but they have thousands of kinks that range from, you know, tozers and featsies

and farts and jars and fat broads and everything else. Like, I mean, like dudes are weird creatures and they have weird obsessions and fetishes. I've never heard of a woman who's like, you know what? I fetishize a fat guy with a small hog. Like, that's not a thing women are into. I don't think. Now, maybe I'm wrong. Like, I know that there is a category, and I don't know why I know this, but there's a category on the hub for, like, small penis, like micro penis. But I think that's actually

for the dudes that have the micro penis. Like, the dudes watch that and it kind of gets them going because, like, they too have the micro penis. So they want to see a guy with the micro penis getting a little bit, right? but that's not like but like women don't have that there's no women that like seeks out porn and they're like hey let me tell you guys something i really want to see a porn with a guy that has skin tags like nobody's looking for that no one's typing in the hub skin tags no one's typing in like goiter like no one's looking for that shit no one's looking for that shit gay men might be but women are not Anywho, women, if you have the option, go do only fans. If you can build an audience, go do only fans. That would be my suggestion to you. Don't waste your time trying to work over at the fashion bug.

That's stupid. Go do only fans. It's a solid way to make cash. It's accepted in the world now. Would you rather be rich and have to show your beve on occasion? Or would you rather be below the poverty line and have to help some heifer try on a dress? What would you rather be doing, huh?
