Sophie Rain Takes on James Fishback - Fireworks Ensue

OnlyFans star Sophie Rain found herself in a heated online spat with James Fishback, a Republican gubernatorial hopeful in Florida, after he proposed a controversial 50% “sin tax” on platforms like OnlyFans. Fishback went as far as to single out Rain, urging her to “pay up or quit,” which quickly set social media ablaze.

This tense exchange began on Tuesday when Fishback tweeted, "Hey @SophieRaiin, Pay up or quit OnlyFans. As Florida Governor, I will not allow a generation of smart and capable young women to sell their bodies online." Rain, a successful influencer based in Florida with millions of followers, didn't hold back in her comeback, suggesting Fishback might have buyer's remorse for spending too much on OnlyFans subscriptions.

From Tweets to Viral Moments

Fishback, who is running to replace Governor Ron DeSantis, doubled down with a follow-up tweet, insisting, "Sophie, pay your taxes or quit OnlyFans. Those are your choices. I’m running for Florida Governor to stop smart and capable women like you from being exploited by that disgusting platform.”

Rain responded with a fiery video dismissing the tax proposal as "insane," highlighting how it unfairly targets creators while ignoring large corporations that don't pay taxes. The clash went viral, with thousands engaging and discussing the tax's implications and broader topics like women's autonomy and political motives.

“Politicians vs OF Models. Welcome to 2026 everyone,” quipped a user, capturing the surreal nature of the debate.

Public Reaction: Divided But Entertained

The online community was quick to weigh in. Fans of Rain cheered her clapback as a defining moment, while supporters of Fishback praised his moral stance. Memes and satirical comments flooded X, formerly known as Twitter, with some users mocking Fishback's proposal and others defending his intentions to combat "degeneracy."

Fishback, a former financier and known for his far-right activism, has struggled in early polls, but his bold proposals have gained attention. Meanwhile, Rain, known for her "God First" bio and her successful adult content career, reportedly makes millions annually on OnlyFans. Despite the heated debate, neither party offered additional comments on the matter.

This lively exchange between Rain and Fishback underscores the evolving intersection of politics and the creator economy, especially in politically charged states like Florida, as the 2026 gubernatorial race kicks off with a bang.
