‘Sold Your Soul’: Shocking Claims Camille Winbush Allegedly Raked In $1 Million on OnlyFans In One Week Sends ‘Bernie Mac Show’ Fans into a Frenz
Most American television viewers were introduced to actress Camille Winbush as Vanessa “Nessa” Thomkinson from “The Bernie Mac Show,” but her new profession has garnered a lot of criticism online.
Winbush began creating content for the subscription-based OnlyFans platform in February 2021. The London-based website gives her fans exclusive access to various types of content, including X-rated, for a fee.
“Yes, you heard that right. I have joined OF! But I’m doing it my way,” Winbush announced on Instagram. She added, “My way = minimal nudity. So if that’s what you’re expecting sorry not sorry to disappoint.”

Rumors that Winbush earned $921,000 in her first week on OnlyFans spread across the internet shortly after the new year began. Multiple social media accounts also ran with bogus comments credited to Winbush.
“I can’t believe I’m saying that, but it really did save us. Anybody that wants to condemn me and put me down, go for it. I just hope you never find yourself in the position I was in to take care of two little kids,” read the phony quote shared by pages like Hood Report.
“Sold your soul,” one commenter wrote in response to the rumor.
However, Winbush called the viral reports fake news. The 34-year-old California native took to X to deny she made nearly $1 million a week from OnlyFans or that she is a mother of two.
“[I don’t know] where that lie of a quote originated, but I never said I made $921,000 in my first week on OnlyFans. And I do not have any children,” Winbush tweeted on Jan. 5.
Despite her public denial, Winbush still faced significant backlash for the false quote, with one person tweeting, “Bernie is rolling over in his grave [right now].”
Another misled person in Hood Report’s comment section wrote, “Imagine those same kids later on having that one homie who tells them, ‘Your mom is a freak online bro.’”
Another Instagram commenter simply posted, “Sold your soul.” A third individual on the app expressed, “Not Nessa. Lawd no.”
Meanwhile, Winbush’s fans rallied behind her. One reply to her post read, “Yeah real human beings knew that was outrageously fake and false news @camilleSwinbush! Much respect and much love!”
In another reply, a supporter posted, “I was definitely scratching my head about the 2 child statement. Folks will say anything to be relevant. Keep doing you!!!!!”
This was not the first time Winbush addressed taking the OnlyFans route after the momentum of her role on “The Bernie Mac” show died down after the show ended. After catching heat for her decision, she clapped back at negative reactions with a positive message in 2021 as well.
“A friendly reminder that my worth as a human being is not measured by the pictures I take, the length of my resume, and the [judgments] of strangers. Be Safe, Be Kind, Be Human,” Winbush captioned an Instagram post
