Shannon Elizabeth’s pivot to OnlyFans has been a huge success. Creators CEO Andy Bachman revealed that the “American Pie” and “Scary Movie” star “made seven figures in its first week on the platform,” and sources told Variety that Elizabeth surpassed the $1.2 million mark in its first seven days. The actor’s OnlyFans page was launched on Thursday, April 16th.
Elizabeth, who became one of Hollywood’s biggest sex symbols in the early 2000s thanks to her role as Nadia in American Pie, told People magazine before launching her OnlyFans page that she was tired of working in Hollywood, where “other people control the story and the outcome of my career.”
“This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a sexier side that no one has ever seen, and getting closer to my fans,” she added at the time. “I chose OnlyFans because it allows me to connect directly with my audience, create as much as I want, and just be free. I really think this is the future.”
Elizabeth’s manager, Andy Bachman, celebrated her career move to OnlyFans in a statement to Variety, saying, “Shannon has always truly enjoyed connecting with her fans and giving back to them. This allows her to do it in a more direct and meaningful way than ever before. It’s a powerful model, and nothing is more effective at fostering that connection than OnlyFans at this time.”
Elizabeth joins a list of high-profile creators on OnlyFans, including Carmen Electra, Bad Babi, Mia Khalifa, “The Sopranos” star Drea de Matteo, and Sophie Lane. De Matteo started her OnlyFans account in August 2025, and became a hot topic when she revealed that when her acting career dried up, she was able to avoid foreclosure on her home thanks to the profits she made in just one month.
“Reconnecting with my fans through my appearances reminded me of how much their support meant to me throughout my career and how much I missed that energy,” Elizabeth said in a statement to Variety before opening the account. “OnlyFans gives me the opportunity to offer something more: behind-the-scenes, unfiltered views of my life, and genuine connections that other platforms don’t allow. It’s also a place where I share exclusive content that you can’t find anywhere else. This isn’t just content to watch from afar. This is for the people who have always shown up for me, and I want them to feel that.”
Elizabeth stressed to her fans that she is still based in South Africa and focused on her charity work, saying: “It remains incredibly close to my heart, but it feels like the perfect moment to open up my world to my fans who have been with me throughout this journey. I’m so excited about this.” Amid news of Elizabeth’s success, Bachman said he is planning a charity gala in Las Vegas in June to support her foundation.
