Tennis Star Sachia Vickery Stirs Controversy at US Open

While competing in the 2025 US Open qualifiers in New York, tennis pro Sachia Vickery has found herself at the center of a social media storm. The 30-year-old athlete, known for her grit on the court, recently opened up during an Instagram Q&A about her side hustle on OnlyFans, a platform where creators can monetize exclusive content behind a paywall.

Vickery didn’t hold back, defending her decision to join the subscription site and getting real about her personal life - including a jaw-dropping dating policy. But her honesty has ignited a firestorm of criticism online, with fans and detractors alike weighing in.

Is this a savvy business move or a step too far? Let’s break it down.

OnlyFans Venture: Easy Money and No Regrets

Vickery launched her OnlyFans account in 2025, teasing the venture with a playful Instagram caption: "Tennis, anyone?" Priced at $12.99 a month, her profile promises content "too spicy for Instagram," according to a report by DailyMail. It’s clear she’s not shy about capitalizing on her athletic fame.

During her candid Q&A, she revealed just how lucrative the platform has been. The tennis star admitted to being floored by her earnings in the first two days alone, calling it the easiest money she’s ever made.

"I never thought I’d make this much so fast - it’s honestly mind-blowing," Vickery reportedly shared, reflecting on her OnlyFans success.

Dating Drama: $1,000 or No Deal

But it’s not just her OnlyFans account raising eyebrows. Vickery dropped another bombshell during the same Instagram session, revealing she no longer dates for free. Her rule? A pre-date deposit of $1,000 via CashApp - no exceptions.

The internet had a field day with this one. Comments ranged from harsh jabs like "Must be desperate for cash" to outright disgust, with one user calling it "a digital form of prostitution." Others took a more sarcastic tone, noting she’s "well trained" in knowing her value.

Love her or hate her, Vickery’s unapologetic stance has people talking - and not just about her backhand.

Inspired by Fellow Athletes on OnlyFans

On the "Black Spin Global" podcast, Vickery shared that her OnlyFans journey wasn’t a random whim. She drew inspiration from male tennis players like Nick Kyrgios and Alex Muller, who’ve also dipped their toes into the platform with tennis-focused content. Vickery positions herself in the "middle gap" - not fully extreme but definitely spicier than standard sports fare.

Despite the inevitable hate, she’s ready for the backlash. The athlete emphasized that criticism comes no matter what you do, so why not make bank while you’re at it?

Her focus remains on tennis, but exploring social media revenue streams is clearly part of her game plan.

Not Alone in the OnlyFans Game

Vickery isn’t the only celeb cashing in on OnlyFans. Rapper and reality TV star Bhad Bhabie, who skyrocketed to fame after a viral "Dr. Phil" appearance, claimed to have raked in over $70 million on the platform, per a report from The Blast.

During a chat with DDG, Bhad Bhabie boasted about making a million dollars in just six hours, with earnings hitting $4 million by day’s end. It’s proof that OnlyFans can be a goldmine for public figures willing to take the plunge.

For Vickery, the platform - and her dating stance - might just be the ace up her sleeve, whether the crowd cheers or jeers.
