Jenelle Evans’ Rise to Fame
Jenelle first gained recognition in 2009 on MTV’s 16 and Pregnant, later becoming a central figure in Teen Mom 2 (2011–2019). Her turbulent relationships, legal issues, and family drama made her one of the show’s most talked-about stars.
Her MTV career ended in 2019 after a string of controversies—most notably when her husband, David Eason, shot the family dog, leading to public backlash and her dismissal from the network. Post-MTV, Jenelle attempted ventures like a cosmetics line and a podcast, but most fizzled out. By 2022, she was looking for a new way to monetize her notoriety.
Why She Joined OnlyFans
In May 2022, Jenelle launched her OnlyFans page with a $20 subscription fee. She announced it boldly on Instagram, writing “Can’t cancel me here”—a statement that reflected her desire for independence after years of feeling shut down by networks and critics.
Her timing coincided with a period of personal struggles. Facing depression and the collapse of other projects, Jenelle embraced OnlyFans as both a financial outlet and a form of empowerment. Initially, she posted sparingly, but her MTV fame drew subscribers quickly.
Her OnlyFans Earnings
By August 2025, Jenelle’s OnlyFans dashboard revealed she had earned $1,511,578 since joining. Averaged over 39 months, that’s about $38,000 per month—though her income fluctuated:
Mid-2024 Divorce Filings: Documents showed she earned $16,222 in just 12 days, including one $5,500 day.
Livestream Reveal: A friend once disclosed her monthly earnings hit around $24,000.
Early Days (2022): Despite minimal content, her notoriety quickly translated into steady income.
Though not at the very top of the platform, Jenelle comfortably sits in the upper tier of creators, earning more than most who attempt OnlyFans.
Comparison with Other OnlyFans Stars
Jenelle’s $1.5M is impressive, but small compared to OnlyFans megastars:
Blac Chyna – once rumored to earn $20M per month.
Bhad Bhabie – reportedly $50M+ in her first year.
Bella Thorne – made $1M in just 24 hours.
Farrah Abraham (Teen Mom alum) – claims millions annually.
Against this backdrop, Jenelle’s earnings show strong success, though she remains far below the highest tier.
Jenelle’s Reflections
Jenelle has spoken candidly about her journey:
She admitted feeling uneasy about acquaintances subscribing, but didn’t let it stop her.
She jokes about fulfilling quirky requests (like selling feet pics), while keeping boundaries.
She values OnlyFans for its independence: “Can’t cancel me here” became her slogan.
In her divorce, her OnlyFans income underscored her financial independence.
When her $1.5M milestone went public, Jenelle laughed off the “millionaire” label, but it was clearly a proud moment.
Conclusion
Jenelle Evans’ transition from MTV to OnlyFans reflects the new creator economy: stars can monetize directly without networks or middlemen. Since 2022, she’s turned her notoriety into a steady seven-figure side business, averaging tens of thousands monthly.
She may not rival OnlyFans’ top earners, but for a reality TV alum whose mainstream opportunities had dwindled, Jenelle’s gamble paid off. As of 2025, her success on the platform has cemented her financial independence—and she shows no signs of slowing down.
