India Love walked away from OnlyFans after cashing out $2 million, and the reason has sparked a debate about the consequences of making money from adult content.
The social media star, born India Westbrooks, recently opened up about why she quit OnlyFans despite earning an estimated $2 million on the platform. For months, fans speculated about her sudden exit. Now, she’s sharing the moment that changed everything, and it started with a phone call that left her shaken.
India addressed the decision during an appearance on the Pour Minds podcast, where she spoke candidly about the hidden cost of her success. While she said her content was “tasteful and artsy,” she admitted that the public perception of the platform followed her far beyond the screen. And eventually, it reached someone she never wanted it to touch.
During the interview, India revealed that her mother called her in tears one day. Her younger brother had gotten into a fight at school. Other kids were teasing him, showing him her pictures, and using her online work as ammunition. Her mom asked her not to confront him about it, but the damage was already done.
According to India, that moment broke her.
India described her younger brother as her baby and said the thought of him feeling embarrassed or ashamed of her was unbearable. She made it clear that no amount of money could justify putting him in that position.
“And then one day, my mom calls me crying, and she’s like, ‘ My little brother got caught in a fight at school. She said, ‘Don’t tell him I told you, but like the kids are teasing about having your OnlyFans pictures and stuff.'”
She said it forced her to pause and reflect, not just on her career but on her values. It pushed her toward faith and a deeper reevaluation of what she wanted her life to look like.
“That broke me because that’s my baby. And the last thing I want is for him to feel like he’s embarrassed of me, ashamed of me… So that was my pivotal moment, like, okay, let’s go to God.”
While walking away from $2 million might seem unthinkable to some, India made it clear that peace mattered more than profit.
