"Not saying this for show-off, it's just incredible," Leah said, adding how she was able to make a good fortune on the website. "I can't believe I didn't do this sooner," she added.
In her first week on OnlyFans, McSweeney has shared approximately five explicit posts on the platform, with a pricing range varying from $10 to $50.
