Forget the dating scene, folks! "American Pie" star Shannon Elizabeth isn't on the hunt for love in the traditional sense anymore. After finalizing her divorce from Simon Borchert back in May, Shannon has made it clear she's not diving into the dating pool again. Her chosen companion these days? OnlyFans – the social platform that's become her new digital heartthrob.
During a lively chat on Bill Maher's "Club Random" podcast, Maher quizzed her about the dating vibes in her current home in Cape Town, South Africa. Full of that SoCal spirit, Elizabeth didn’t hold back: "I'm very newly single, and I don’t plan on ever dating again, to be honest," she confidently shared.
"I do not want to date," Elizabeth said. "I'm not interested. There's too many con artists out there. There's too many people I don't trust. I have no interest."
For Elizabeth, OnlyFans isn't just a financial haven – it's a platform for newfound freedom and creativity. Launching her account in April, she reportedly raked in over $1.2 million in her first week, a feat that’s given her the luxury to pick and choose projects she's truly passionate about.
In a candid chat with Variety, she revealed that the steady stream of income has been a lifeline amidst her shifting career and life changes. "To be able to get myself back to the point where I’m not struggling and am able to choose projects because I like them and not because I need the money – it’s definitely giving me more freedom to do that," Elizabeth explained.
Still fueled by her Hollywood dreams, Elizabeth aspires to step behind the camera as a director. Meanwhile, she's utilizing her creative juices to produce content for her OnlyFans, which remains tastefully elusive as she charts her boundaries.
And it’s not just about the glitz and glam. Elizabeth channels a portion of her earnings towards wildlife conservation – a cause close to her heart. She’s not just building a community of fans but also contributing to a more significant mission.
In her own words to Fox News Digital, "I’m really happy doing it. I’m really having so much fun. I’m connecting with people. And I think no matter what you do in any industry, there’s always going to be people who don’t support you, who want to bring you down or who criticize you."
Her advice to others on the fence about joining OnlyFans? Dive right in and see where it takes you. "Absolutely do it," she encourages, already rallying support from some of her friends who might be the next to join the platform revolution.
Shannon Elizabeth isn't just navigating her post-divorce chapter; she's redefining it – on her terms, with her rules.
