Shannon Elizabeth, who was one of Hollywood’s biggest sex symbols in the early 2000s thanks to her roles in the “American Pie” film franchise and the original “Scary Movie,” is joining OnlyFans, with her account officially going live on the platform starting Thursday, April 16.
“I’ve spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career. This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a more sexy side no one has seen, and being closer to my fans,” Elizabeth told People magazine about her decision to join the adult-content creator platform.
“I’m choosing OnlyFans because it allows me to connect directly with my audience, create on my own terms, and just be free. I really do think this is the future,” she added.
Elizabeth’s manager, Andy Bachman, celebrated her leap to OnlyFans in a statement to Variety, saying: “Shannon has always been someone who genuinely enjoys connecting with and giving back to her fans, and this allows her to do that in a more direct, meaningful way than ever before. It’s a powerful model, and right now, there’s nothing more effective at facilitating that connection than OnlyFans.”
“Reconnecting with my fans through appearances has reminded me just how much their support has meant to me throughout my career — and how much I’ve missed that energy,” Elizabeth added in a statement to Variety. “OnlyFans gives me the opportunity to offer something more — a behind the scenes, unfiltered look at my life and a genuine connection that no other platform allows. This is also where I’ll be sharing exclusive content that you simply won’t find anywhere else. This isn’t just content to watch from a distance. 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, which “remains incredibly close to my heart. But this feels like the perfect moment to open up my world to the fans who have been with me throughout this journey. I’m so excited for this.”
Elizabeth joins a growing list of high-profile creators on OnlyFans that includes Carmen Electra, Bhad Bhabie, Mia Khalifa, “The Sopranos” star Drea de Matteo and Sophia Rain. The platform has embarked on an effort to recruit non-porn creators, including comedian Whitney Cummings, and in 2021 launched OFTV, a safe-for-work free streaming service with original content.

De Matteo launched an OnlyFans account in August 2025 and went viral for disclosing that the profits she made from it in just one month allowed her to save her home from going into foreclosure. The Emmy winner was struggling financially as Hollywood roles dried up.
“OnlyFans saved my life, 100%. I can’t believe I’m saying that, but it really did save us,” she told DailyMail.com at the time. “Anybody that wants to condemn me and put me down, go for it. I just hope you never find yourself in the position I was in to take care of two little kids. It saved my home of many years that was very important to us. And beyond all that, it has given me enough money to start up and finance Ultrafree.”
Ultrafree is a streetwear brand that de Matteo started and owns. She said that prior to launching her OnlyFans account, she only had around $10 in her bank account.
