OnlyFans creator Taila Maddison was in for a shock when she discovered that her top paying subscriber was allegedly her stepdad of 13 years.
“This one subscriber would talk to me every single day, and he would always be tipping me and unlocking new content,” Maddison claimed in a press release obtained by Us Weekly. “The thing he requested most was to know what underwear I was wearing to work every single day. It got to the point where I was so busy and getting messages from this guy so much that it was starting to interfere with my other job. In two months, he had spent $2,000 on me.
She continued, “Then one day I got a TikTok notification saying someone with the same username as this subscriber on OnlyFans had viewed my profile. What was really odd to me was that TikTok notified me saying that this person was in my contacts and then I realized that since I’ve had the same number since I was 12, it’s had to be someone I knew. I immediately assumed it was someone I went to high school with.”
Maddison claimed that she wrote down all the contacts from her phone and cross checked them with her TikTok, before narrowing down the list to six people.
“My ex-boyfriend saw the list of six people, which included a guy from high school, a female friend and some other unlikely suspects, and said, ‘Imagine if it’s your step-dad.’ I told him to f*** off, but then I pieced together a few details, and sent a message to my subscriber on OnlyFans,” she recalled. “I told him, ‘I know who this is,’ and he responded, “Who, babe? You don’t know me.”
Maddison replied back, writing, “You need to tell Mum before I do.”
“I immediately got a text from my stepdad saying ‘Hey, can we please talk.’ Thinking back on what happened I just feel so sick,” she said. “My immediate first thought when I confirmed it was him was for my younger sister. She is four years younger than me, and was still living with my Mum and stepdad. My stepdad worked from home everyday, and my younger sister was also studying from there, and she would go to the beach most days and walk around at home in her bikini, or sun bathe in the backyard. I just felt so worried for her, now knowing there was a predator in the house.”
Maddison then informed her mom, who told her to call her stepdad. “We used my ex’s phone and called him. He picked up and said ‘Oh, Tai. I just wanted to see and check on your welfare.’ I was so snappy. I said, ‘You spent $2,000 on my sex tapes to check on my welfare?’ He begged me not to tell Mum, but I told him he’d ruined his life, and that there was no way I wouldn’t tell her. He tried to argue with me, but I told him he had severely f***ed up,” she said.
She continued, “When I got off the phone with him, Mum called him. By the time he was home, she was ripping all of his stuff out into the front of the house. That was it. An 11 year marriage, gone. When what happened eventually settled in, I couldn’t go to work. I couldn’t eat and I couldn’t sleep. I ended up leaving my job anyway because I was making enough money, but I literally couldn’t go in because he knew where I worked. I couldn’t stop thinking about running into him. I was just mortified.”
Maddison claimed her relationship with her family was rocky after her discovery and the end of her mother’s marriage, but her bond with her mom healed. Months later, Maddison decided to share her story on TikTok as a cautionary tale to others who are thinking about starting OnlyFans.
“I literally just was in the car, and it was the most candid video,” she said. “I literally just said, ‘My stepdad subscribed to my OnlyFans and I caught him through TikTok.’ Then I went into a movie, and my phone just wouldn’t stop going off.”
She continued, “That night it was so hard to go to sleep because subs were rolling in and so were followers. My Instagram went from 2,000 followers to 50,000 overnight. My subscribers went from 200 to 15,000. That week I made $125,000. I got so many messages on my OnlyFans asking if the story was real. There were messages in so many different languages from all over the world.”
