Camille Winbush’s Alleged $1 Million OnlyFans Payday: The Scandalous Revelation Stirring Up ‘Bernie Mac Show’ Fans!

Most American television viewers were introduced to actress Camille Winbush as Vanessa “Nessa” Thomkinson from “The Bernie Mac Show,” but her new profession has garnered a lot of criticism online.

Winbush began creating content for the subscription-based OnlyFans platform in February 2021. The London-based website gives her fans exclusive access to various types of content, including X-rated, for a fee.

“Yes, you heard that right. I have joined OF! But I’m doing it my way,” Winbush announced on Instagram. She added, “My way = minimal nudity. So if that’s what you’re expecting sorry not sorry to disappoint.”

Rumors that Winbush earned $921,000 in her first week on OnlyFans spread across the internet shortly after the new year began. Multiple social media accounts also ran with bogus comments credited to Winbush.

“I can’t believe I’m saying that, but it really did save us. 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,” read the phony quote shared by pages like Hood Report.

“Sold your soul,” one commenter wrote in response to the rumor.

However, Winbush called the viral reports fake news. The 34-year-old California native took to X to deny she made nearly $1 million a week from OnlyFans or that she is a mother of two.

“[I don’t know] where that lie of a quote originated, but I never said I made $921,000 in my first week on OnlyFans. And I do not have any children,” Winbush tweeted on Jan. 5.

In June 2024, the NAACP Image Award winner spoke about becoming an OnlyFans content creator during an interview with the Comedy Hype YouTube channel, too.

“People who are outside of the acting world have no place to speak on it,” Winbush responded when asked about the online perception that she needed OnlyFans to make money.

The former child star went on to admit that residual payments from her work on “The Bernie Mac Show” decreased over the 19 years since the series ended.
