Former Pastor Leaves Church, Joins OnlyFans, Says She’s Never Been Happier
This is one of those stories that sounds like it was designed to break the internet. Nikole Mitchell was a pastor at a megachurch in Minnesota. Now shes making adult content on OnlyFans. And she says the transition has made her happier than shes ever been.
The 36-year-old mother of three came out as bisexual in 2016 after attending an LGBTQ-themed play. She knew immediately that her newfound understanding of her sexuality would not be welcomed by her evangelical church community. After about a year of struggling, she left.
The journey from pulpit to OnlyFans wasnt immediate. In her own words on Substack, Mitchell described growing up in purity culture and how leaving the church required unlearning decades of shame about her body and sexuality.
What makes Mitchells story interesting isnt the surface level pastor-to-stripper narrative. Its the underlying tension between religious identity and authentic selfhood thats universal to a lot of peoples experiences.
Comic Sands covered how Mitchell has spoken publicly about finally embracing the sexuality she was taught to suppress. Whether you agree with her choices or not, theres something compelling about watching someone completely rebuild their life around who they actually are.
The rise of alternative income streams like OnlyFans has created opportunities that werent possible before. Mitchell now lives in Los Angeles and says shes the happiest, healthiest, and wealthiest shes ever been.
