Sarah Juree, a 44-year-old former teacher, candidly shares how launching an OnlyFans account dramatically altered her life's path. After being fired from her long-term teaching position, Juree found herself contemplating her future and facing mental health challenges. "Sometimes in life, you got to take your mess and turn it into a message," Juree revealed in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly. "I was very suicidal. I really almost killed myself." Now, she's turning her experience into a message of resilience with her new book, Diary of an OnlyFans Model.
Initially a struggling single mom seeking extra income, Sarah was inspired by a local woman who made significant earnings on OnlyFans. "There was a woman in town, and she had started a page, and she had made, like, $10,000 in a month," Sarah explained. She saw the platform as a potential way to clear her debts during summer break but was quickly thrust into the spotlight when an NSFW photo circulated online, leading to her dismissal.
“I think it shows people your story is not over. You get to be the author of your story, literally.”
Facing PTSD and suicidal thoughts, Sarah sought healing through ketamine therapy, which ultimately brought clarity and creativity, resulting in her book. "I took the last two years off to really just go and heal," she noted.
Despite feeling like an outsider in her Indiana community, Sarah derives strength from her experience. "Where I am in Indiana, it's like, I'm the scarlet letter of the town," she said. But rather than succumbing to shame, she's using her story to inspire other women to explore their identities without fear. Her transformation from teacher to OnlyFans model to author reflects a powerful narrative of personal reinvention and empowerment.
Diary of an OnlyFans Model is now available, offering a deeper look into Sarah's journey and her newfound mission to challenge societal norms.
