White was a featured guest on the latest episode of Lecrae\u2019s \u201cThe Deep End With Lecrae\u201d podcast, where she revealed that she made millions of dollars from her OnlyFans account, where she would post pornographic content of herself.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since she graduated high school, the 36-year-old television personality and model said her identity was wrapped up in how much money she could make. She recalled working as a stripper directly after high school graduation to pay for her college education. White, who was previously married to Rob Kardashian, said she joined OnlyFans in 2020 because she was in the middle of a costly court case. Though she didn&#8217;t specify in the interview, White\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/entertainment-arts-61304555\">lost a $108 million defamation suit<\/a>\u00a0she filed against the reality television stars the Kardashians in May 2022.<\/p>\n<p>During that time, she said she needed money. White shared, adding that once she started her OnlyFans account, it was hard to resist posting more content to keep her account active, \u201cI&#8217;m in the middle of my court case. Let me tell you, that court case was very, very, very expensive. I&#8217;m looking at the fees, and I&#8217;m like, \u2018OK, I need to finish this out.\u2019 I was like, \u2018Let me just try it a little bit.\u2019 And I just slid right on in there. Surprisingly, nobody said anything to me. It was like smooth.\u201d White said she created the persona of \u201cBlac Chyna\u201d in a strip club, with tattoos, hairstyles and outfits. Creating the OnlyFans account only added to her unhealthy fixation on her exterior appearance and making more money, she said.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/chF2753n0f0?si=9joeUT6v3rsIpQBB\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>White said her lifestyle has changed from stripping, posting on OnlyFans and starring in music videos with rappers Nicki Minaj and Drake to now just wanting only to serve the Lord. Some critics accused the Christian celebrity of claiming a new-found faith as a publicity stunt.\u00a0She said, \u201cNobody needs publicity when you\u2019re already Blac Chyna. You just walk outside. You know what I mean. Just walk to the grocery store.&#8221; On May 11, 2022, White was baptized into the Christian faith. She said that a few days before her birthday, she asked her friends to find her a &#8220;bishop&#8221; or a church and that the only thing she wanted to do for her birthday was to get baptized.<\/p>\n<p>She said, &#8220;Two bishops came. &#8230; Then ended up both baptizing me. Bishop was inside the water, and the other pastor was on top.\u201d\u00a0 Lecrae asked if she grew up in church, which she said she didn&#8217;t. He followed up by asking: &#8220;What made you say: &#8216;Let&#8217;s find a pastor or a bishop?&#8217; White said she wasn&#8217;t sure. Lecrae surmised that it must have been the Lord&#8217;s way of working.\u00a0&#8220;I was honestly just tired of myself and tired of waking up and feeling a certain way when I know for a fact that I&#8217;m way smarter than that,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>White added, &#8220;After I got baptized, I was still partying, getting lit and all that. On Sept. 14, I [went] sober on these folks. I would do it, and then get to like six months, and then [say], &#8216;Let&#8217;s get a shot.&#8217; \u00a0I would keep trying over and over. So now, this month, on the 14th, would be 19 months sober. So September would be two years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>White said a few months after her baptism, she decided to deactivate her OnlyFans account in the winter of 2022-2023.\u00a0 That day, she said she called her bishop at 4 a.m. and told him her decision to remove the account. She remembers he was very supportive of the decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former reality star Blac Chyna, who goes by her birth name Angela White, has shared why she quit the profitable social media website OnlyFans after she embraced the Christian faith and got baptized.
