Lisa Vanderpump Jokes About Joining OnlyFans—But Says “Nanny Pinky” Drew the Line

Reality TV icon and restaurateur Lisa Vanderpump is once again stirring conversation—this time about the possibility of joining OnlyFans. During a March 2026 appearance on the podcast Boyfriend Material, hosted by Harry Jowsey, Vanderpump admitted she briefly considered launching an account on the lucrative subscription platform.

But in classic Vanderpump fashion, the idea was quickly dismissed with humor, a little self-deprecation, and a reminder of her current role as a grandmother.

Curious Businesswoman First, Reality Star Second

Vanderpump explained that her curiosity about OnlyFans was sparked by the enormous financial success of fellow reality star and actress Denise Richards.

Reports tied to Richards’ ongoing divorce case suggest she earns anywhere from $200,000 to $300,000 per month on the platform—figures that naturally caught the attention of the seasoned entrepreneur.

Vanderpump said her first instinct wasn’t scandalous—it was simply business.

“I heard Denise Richards was making a sh*tload of money,” she said. “So I thought, well, I want to know more about this.”

For someone who built a hospitality empire and multiple television ventures, curiosity about a rapidly growing digital business model wasn’t surprising.

“Naked Nanny Pinky?”—The Joke That Ended It

Ultimately, Vanderpump decided the idea might not quite fit her brand—or her family life.

She joked that her identity as a grandmother stopped her from taking the idea seriously.

“I thought about doing it, and then I thought, you know… ‘Nanny Pinky, naked Nanny Pinky?’”

When Jowsey joked that he would immediately subscribe, Vanderpump fired back with another witty remark.

“Everything is still actually intact,” she teased, adding she might have to be “hung upside down” for it to look as good as it used to.

The exchange captured the same playful humor that has made Vanderpump a fan favorite for years.

The Comment Comes Amid a Vanderpump Rules Scandal

The topic didn’t come up randomly. OnlyFans has become a controversial storyline in the current season of Vanderpump Rules.

The show—broadcast on Bravo—has reportedly faced behind-the-scenes tension involving new cast members whose OnlyFans content raised concerns with network executives.

Reports claim production issued a “no-nudes mandate” in order to preserve the show’s “sexy, not scandal” brand image.

Despite the drama, Vanderpump appears relatively unfazed. She has said she has seen plenty during her decades in entertainment and hospitality—and remains most concerned about her staff doing their jobs at her restaurant, SUR.

Denise Richards: The OnlyFans Powerhouse

Much of the current fascination with celebrities joining OnlyFans comes from Richards’ financial success.

Her account reportedly earns hundreds of thousands per month, and the platform has even become part of her ongoing divorce battle with estranged husband Aaron Phypers.

Phypers has argued in court filings that he deserves a share of her earnings because he allegedly helped produce and photograph content during their marriage. Richards has pushed back, asking a judge to reject his claim.

The platform has also played a role in family drama involving her daughter Sami Sheen, whose own OnlyFans career sparked criticism and concern from her father, actor Charlie Sheen.

Richards has defended her daughter publicly, saying she admires Sami’s ability to ignore criticism.

A Growing Celebrity Trend

Richards isn’t the only celebrity turning OnlyFans into a major revenue stream. Several stars from Hollywood, music, and reality television have launched accounts on the platform, including:

• Iggy Azalea, whose “Hotter Than Hell” project reportedly generates tens of millions annually

• Bella Thorne, who famously earned $1 million in 24 hours after joining

• Cardi B, who uses the platform to share behind-the-scenes content

• Larsa Pippen, a reality TV star who says the income supports her luxury lifestyle

However, industry data shows the massive earnings often reported by celebrities are the exception, not the rule.

The Reality of OnlyFans Earnings

According estimates from 2026 show that OnlyFans earnings follow a “power law” distribution, meaning a very small percentage of creators earn the vast majority of the money.

The top 0.1% of creators, which often includes celebrities and elite influencers, can earn $146,000 or more per month. The top 1% typically makes between $33,000 and $50,000 monthly, while those in the top 5% earn around $8,000 to $10,000 per month. A broader group of mid-tier creators may bring in roughly $1,000 to $5,000 each month, but this represents only about ten percent of users. For the majority of creators on the platform, however, income is far more modest, with the median monthly earnings estimated between $130 and $180, making it more of a side hustle than a full-time income for most people.

This means that while celebrity success stories dominate headlines, most creators earn what amounts to a modest side income.

Classic Vanderpump: Stirring the Pot Without Jumping In

For Vanderpump, the conversation ultimately ended where it began—with humor.

The restaurateur made it clear she’s fascinated by the business side of the platform but has no plans to join anytime soon.
