By Camille Winbush, best known for her role as Bernie Mac’s daughter in the hit sitcom ‘The Bernie Mac Show,’ has come a long way since her days as a child star. Now an adult, Winbush has taken to OnlyFans, a decision that has drawn both criticism and curiosity from fans and the public alike.
In a recent interview with Comedy Hype, Winbush addressed the trolls head-on, admitting that their assumptions about her financial situation were not entirely off-base. “When people say, ‘Oh, those Bernie Mac checks must have dried up,’ I’m like, ‘From a job 20 years ago when I was a 12-year-old? Yeah.’ Like, duh,” she stated.
While Winbush still receives residuals from her time on the show, she explained that they are not substantial enough to make a living. This realization led her to start an OnlyFans page in 2021. “If I can find a way to make enough to buy a home from the comfort and safety of my own living room, why wouldn’t I do that?” she questioned.
The former child star expressed frustration with people judging her career moves, especially when they lack understanding of the acting industry. This is not the first time Winbush has had to defend her choices; just last year, she passionately defended herself and her ‘Mac Show’ costar Dee Dee Davis, who also has an OnlyFans account.
In an X (formerly Twitter) post, Winbush put things into perspective, stating that if the worst thing strangers can say about her is that she took some sexy pictures and made a couple of million dollars in less than two years, then she’s doing just fine in today’s society.
Winbush’s message is clear: she’s not losing sleep over her OnlyFans gig, and neither should anyone else. The actress has made a conscious decision to take control of her career and financial future, even if it means venturing into unconventional territory.
As the entertainment industry continues to evolve and traditional revenue streams for actors become less reliable, it’s not surprising to see more performers turning to platforms like OnlyFans to supplement their income. Winbush’s openness about her decision serves as a reminder that the path to success in Hollywood is not always straightforward, and that actors must be adaptable and willing to explore new opportunities to sustain their careers.
While some may continue to criticize Winbush’s choice to join OnlyFans, her unapologetic stance and determination to forge her own path are admirable. As she navigates this new chapter in her life, Winbush remains focused on her goals and refuses to let the opinions of others define her or her career.
