An ex-cop who quit her job to become an adult star has revealed the staggering amount she made in her first month.
In recent years, an increasing number of individuals have been turning to the adult entertainment industry to earn a substantial income.
Subscription-based adult platforms such as OnlyFans and Fansly have exploded in popularity, with thousands of creators using the sites to monetise content directly with subscribers.
The shift has been fuelled in part by the global cost of living crisis, stagnant wages in many public sector roles and the growing normalisation of adult content on mainstream social media.
Some creators have reported earning more in a single month online than they would in several years in traditional employment.
However, making a career shift into this field is not always straightforward, and while it can be extremely lucrative, success is far from guaranteed.
Yet for Cece Hagan, it has been financially rewarding, as the eye-watering amount she’s made from her new career goes to show.
Cece works in the industry alongside her partner, Kasey, who also served as a police officer.
They both decided to step away from their roles in law enforcement when transitioning into the adult industry.
Before entering the business, they claim they had struggled financially, ‘living paycheck to paycheck.’
In an interview with Love Don’t Judge, a YouTube channel that features relationships that face criticism due to being unconventional, the adult star said: “We were living paycheck to paycheck, we had no time with our kids, we were bringing work issues home, it was just a no-brainer.”
The idea of creating adult content first came to Cece when she noticed that one of her selfies was being used as clickbait for a story about a police officer who was dismissed for having an account on an adult platform.
The claim was untrue. At the time, she was still a police officer – and she quickly clarified that she didn’t begin posting content until after leaving law enforcement behind.
The couple’s story has sparked a fierce debate online.
While some have praised them for taking control of their finances and prioritising family time, others criticised the career change, with some questioning the message it sends to their children.
One person sympathized: “She was in a tight situation, work was toxic and her kids wanted her around more.
“She saw an opportunity and she went for it. I wish her and her family nothing but happiness.”
However, someone replied: “Her kid is gonna grow up one day and realize their mom used to sell herself on the internet.”
Cece and Kasey say that their lives have changed dramatically since joining the adult entertainment industry.
“We’re, like, so strong right now,” Kasey told Love Don’t Judge, adding: “We’re untouchable.”
As well as bringing the couple closer together, it’s also been financially rewarding.
Cece claimed: “Within the first month it was, couple weeks, I made $100,000 (£81,000).”
The couple cannot disclose how much they made while working in the force, however, salaries for police officers can vary between $36,000 (£28,500) to $70,000 (£55,500), depending on experience and location.
Despite their success, earnings in the adult content world can fluctuate dramatically, with creators often facing sudden drops in income if subscriptions fall.
There is also the pressures of constantly producing content, dealing with online harassment and the long-term impact on future career prospects once content exists permanently online.
While their decision has divided opinion, Cece and Kasey insist the move has transformed their lives both financially and emotionally.
From living paycheck to paycheck to earning six figures in weeks, their story highlights both the risks and the staggering rewards of the modern online economy.
