Meet the family behind 'Texas Thighs,' an account for a mom's salacious photos (when it isn't getting banned)
Courtney and Nick live with their two teenage daughters in a 5-bedroom house in the suburbs with a pool and a waterslide in the backyard.
FORT WORTH, Texas — Courtney and Nick live with their two teenage daughters in a 5-bedroom house in the suburbs with a pool and a waterslide in the backyard. They go on vacation to Disney World. It’s all thanks to Instagram and OnlyFans.
Courtney, 39, who goes by “Texas Thighs,” is one of a new generation of content creators, some of whom are able to be self-employed in the social media-driven adult industry. She now has 1.2 million Instagram followers and said she makes nearly half a million dollars a year on OnlyFans, a digital platform primarily known for nudity and sexual content that makes it easy for people to start subscription businesses.
“In the old days, the men made the money off the women,” she said standing near the granite countertop of her newly renovated kitchen. She asked that NBC News withhold her family’s last name out of privacy concerns.
OnlyFans has paid out more than $3.2 billion to creators since it launched in November 2016 (the company makes money by taking a 20 percent cut of sales through its platform). Most creators don’t make very much money, but those who succeed are overwhelmingly women and can make hundreds of thousands of dollars a month.
But it’s not as easy as it sounds. Creators like Courtney say they deal with constant threats to the very business they are building.
