Blac Chyna says she came to believe it was not "godly" to influence others to join OnlyFans.
In a new interview with Devon Franklin on his YouTube series Food For Thought, Chyna (real name Angela White) explained that watching others see her success on the platform made her confront the moral weight of her decisions.
“It just really took me being truthful to myself: with the lifestyle that I was living, the things that I was doing, how I was affecting people positively or negatively, like the influence and all of that,” said the 37-year-old multi-hyphenate at the 6:57 mark in the video linked here.
“I had to take a step back and think about, for example: if I'm doing OnlyFans and people are seeing that I'm making so much money: that's gonna influence them to wanna go and do OnlyFans. The backlash of that is God—that's not a good thing, that's not godly. So when I'm being judged, I have to speak up and take accountability for me leading people to destruction.”
Chyna reportedly made $240 million on OnlyFans in 2021 but shut down her account just two years later.
When Franklin asked why she joined OnlyFans in the first place, White explains it was a decision driven by financial desperation, not ambition. Despite having multiple businesses and saying she wouldn’t “do anything that would degrade myself” after being a stripper for six years, Chyna admitted that mounting legal pressure changed everything.
"I was in a really big lawsuit," she says, presumably talking about her Kardashian defamation lawsuit, before explaining that the cost of lawyers and depositions forced her into survival mode. “All that stuff, it ain't cheap, and I had to tee up. So I was like, ‘You know what? I'm gonna just do this OnlyFans, and if somebody doesn't like it, they just don't like it.’”
Chyna added that fear of being exposed shaped how cautiously she posted content and that she worked with a company to remove anything that leaked online.
In the same year she shared her journey with sobriety, Chyna made headlines in 2023 when she announced that she would be undergoing breast and butt reduction surgery and later had her facial fillers dissolved. The following year, she shared that she suffered complications while undergoing a procedure to reduce her breast size.
