Lorraine Lewis, former Vixen and Femme Fatale frontwoman, is standing by her decision to join OnlyFans. In a recent chat on The Chuck Shute Podcast, the 66-year-old singer and senior casting producer at Renegade 83 explained her move into the subscription-based platform, emphasizing the evolving landscape of digital content creation.
Lewis, who launched her OnlyFans last fall, sees it as part of diversifying her online presence, embracing the fluidity of modern content platforms. Currently Lewis says she has 560 subscribers who pay around $20 a month.
Lewis shared the following on the episode:
I am stoked about the OnlyFans, the response has been amazing.I have wanted to join OnlyFans for a very, very long time. I just think it’s a cool platform. It can be whatever you want it to be. I think a lot of people think it’s really just porn. It’s not. It doesn’t have to be. But it’s sexy, I’ll tell you that. Like, I’m hella sexy.
The honest truth of this is I started it back in October, and I just kind of wanted to figure out the platform for myself. So I was only inviting certain people from my Instagram that I felt safe with, or that they would keep the secret. And they did. I mean, they did. And so I had it up to about 20 subscribers… And then I knew that I wanted to announce it, because I just didn’t want it to come from somebody else, like, oh, somebody found out and then they go to Blabbermouth or they go to you, you know what I mean? I wanted to be in control of my announcement. So I hired Mitch Schneider Organization. Mitch and I go way back to back in the day. He was my publicist when I was signed to Frontline Management and MCA. And I contacted him and I told him what was going on with my music and this and that and OnlyFans. And I said, ‘I want to announce my OnlyFans.’ And so he said, ‘Great.’ So we did a press release. It went everywhere. And so I am so proud of myself that I was the one to be able to announce it.
It’s been amazing,. And the cool thing about it, look, bottom line is my theme song for 35 years has been ‘Waiting For The Big One’, for goodness’s sake, so it just makes sense that a girl like me, a rock star like me, would take this to the next level. I’ve always been a rebel. I’m always full of surprises. And this is just another level of, like, doing what I wanna do and living life to the fullest.
If I’m lucky, I’ve got 30 more years on the planet. I can talk about this when I’m sipping tea when I’m 100. This is just another phase of my life. I’m owning it. I’m embracing it. I’m in control of whatever I wanna do, and I’m just having so much fun. I have so many fans that have come on and they’re, like, ‘I’ve had a crush on you since I was 15 years old and first saw your video.’ I mean, it’s a chance for people to have a one-on-one with me, get to know me on a more intimate one-on-one level, have fun with it. And, yeah, I’m just having fun.
I saw something on Instagram with Cher recently, and I mentioned this in the press release, that she says, ‘I wish I would have been badder.’ She said, ‘I was pretty bad,’ meaning she was — I mean, she has quite a repertoire of suitors that she’s been with. And she just looked at that camera. She said, ‘I was pretty bad.’ She said, ‘I wish I would have been badder.’ And I was, like, hells yes. So it’s my ‘bad’ period.
