While OnlyFans model Sophie Rain is in the spotlight for a NSFW reason, she isn't losing her religion.
The 20-year-old, who went viral earlier this month when she said she has made over $43 million on the adult entertainment platform, maintains that her devout Christian faith remains part of her identity.
"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," Rain told People in an interview published Dec. 11. "If this wasn't meant for me, I wouldn't be here right now."
The influencer, who added that she still checks in on her "home church" in Tampa, Fla., has stressed that OnlyFans isn’t just about sex as she’s still a virgin.
"You can do OnlyFans without doing porn and all the sexual stuff," she told TMZ in an interview posted Dec. 3." People don't think that you can do OnlyFans if you're a virgin, but I've proved everyone wrong."
Rain has appeared to have a pretty successful OnlyFans career so far. On Dec. 3, she shared a video on X, formerly Twitter, showing she made more than $43 million between November 2023 and last month.
"Sophie Rain made more money on OnlyFans," ESPN NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith said in a video shared on X Dec. 5., "than many of the NBA's biggest stars."
Rain responded to the post, writing, "$100m next year?" and adding a crossed fingers emoji.
She noted to People that she hopes to use some of her money to buy her parents a new home, which will mark "their first house that they're going to own."
"I watched them growing up, very poor, struggling to pay bills, living paycheck to paycheck,” she continued. “So that is what motivates me as well, my parents struggling. I wanted to change that."
Although Rain and her parents haven’t always been on the same page about her journey with OnlyFans.
"I didn't tell them when I started it," she said. "At first, I kind of kept it a secret, and then they found out and they were upset."
Rain said she later spoke out candidly about the nature of her job. "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,'" she said. "But regardless of the situation, they didn't care. I'm their child and they love me."
