EXCLUSIVE Mormon mom who was outed as OnlyFans star details dark underbelly of the religion

Daily Mail​2 days ago
A Mormon mom who was shunned by her church after she was outed as an OnlyFans star has lifted a lid on the secrets that go on behind closed doors in the religion that members don't want you to know about.
Holly Jane, 42, originally from California, spent years living a 'double life' - making tens of thousands of dollars a month selling sultry snaps of herself on the adult site while keeping her raunchy career hidden from the members of her community.
But in 2022, Holly's OnlyFans account was exposed and she was kicked out of the church, and the backlash from her peers was so intense that she eventually decided to move to a new town in a bid to start over.
Now, Holly has spoken exclusively with the Daily Mail about the dark underbelly of the Mormon religion, laying bare the immense 'pressure' put on members to act a certain way.
She explained that there are 'unwritten' rules that control everything from the way you 'dress' to how you 'speak.'
She also claimed that women have to 'suppress' themselves and that intimacy is fiercely shunned, leading to 'unhealthy' views on sex.
While chatting with the Daily Mail, Holly recalled her entire world being turned upside down after her OnlyFans career was exposed and she was excommunicated from the church.
'Honestly, I felt empty. Despite all the memories, and all the time I had spent – none of it mattered,' she said.

'That warm feeling I had for the people in that church, the connection I thought we shared – it turned out to be one-sided. I cared more than they did.
'I moved and cut ties with them all, and no one ever called or reached out... I've experienced a lot of loss.'
Holly slammed the 'double standard' in the religion, pointing out that many Mormon influencers have confessed to 'soft-swinging' - where couples engage in sexual activity with other couples - but were not kicked out of the church.
'People pick and choose who to judge and who to protect, and in a community built on values like accountability and forgiveness, it feels unfair that some are cast out while others are shielded,' she scathed.
'But life isn't fair and at the end of the day, each bishop makes decisions based on what's brought to him. That's just how it goes.'
It's no secret that the Mormon religion has strict rules for its members, including no alcohol, tobacco, coffee, porn, and sex outside of marriage, amongst other things.
Members are also expected to dress modestly - but Holly said it's much more than that.
'Even married adults are expected to suppress parts of themselves. Modesty stops being just about clothing – it becomes about personality, presence, even how confidently you walk into a room,' she said.
'There's constant pressure to shrink, to fit into some invisible "appropriate" box – or risk being labeled rebellious or unworthy.
'I'm a grown woman. I'm a mom. Embracing my sexuality isn't shameful – it's empowering. It doesn't take away from my faith or values.
'But in Mormonism, especially for women, boldness is threatening. That's what's unhealthy. It teaches guilt and hiding, even into adulthood.'
She said the rules extend way beyond what you can and can't consume, and claimed there's an intense 'pressure,' especially on women, to act a certain way.
'There's an unwritten rulebook – how many kids to have, when to marry, how involved to be,' she shared.
'It's not in the doctrine, but if you don't follow it, you're judged. Culture over commandments. Bishops (male leaders) hear everything.
'We're told how to dress, speak, act, and what kind of wife and mother to be – all while suppressing huge parts of who we are.'
She said members of the church are expected to 'confess' any bad thoughts they've had to their bishop, who in reality, is just a 'regular guy with no mental health training.'
'Imagine being 16 and having to explain your sexual thoughts to a middle-aged man,' she said.
According to Holly, girls are taught from a young age that showing too much skin could 'cause someone else to sin,' which she said 'creates a twisted sense of responsibility for men's thoughts.'
'Women learn to shrink, hide, stay quiet – and that doesn't disappear in adulthood,' scathed the single mom.
Holly believes she's not the only one has broken the Mormon rules in secret, in fact, she believes there are many others like her who are committing acts that would be frowned upon by the church without their knowledge just like she was.
'That pressure builds. Eventually, people push back – quietly or loudly, like I did,' she added.
'What I'm doing isn't so different – I just chose to stop hiding. I know a lot of women who wish they could too, but they're scared of losing family, friends, and their Church standing. So yes – it's more common than people think.
'On the outside, Mormon families look perfect – Pinterest homes, polished kids, church smiles.
'But behind closed doors, there's pressure, anxiety, depression, and hidden addictions.
'You're taught to protect the Church's reputation at all costs – even if it means suffering silently.'
She explained that despite not agreeing with all of the Mormon views, she still practices the religion and is trying to be accepted into the church in her new town
Holly relocated from Oregon to Texas after her OnlyFans career was exposed, and she was sent an official letter listing the things she could no longer do, including taking part in sacraments and entering the temple.
But she explained that despite not agreeing with all of the Mormon views, she still practices the religion and is trying to be accepted into the church in her new town.
'I felt like there was an emptiness since I stopped attending [church]. But I'll never stop [my OnlyFans career],' she shared.
'I enjoy it, and I see it as a calling so I'm not asking the bishop's permission – he can keep his opinions to himself.'
In the end, she hopes by sharing her story it can help other Mormon women to embrace their sexuality and not feel ashamed.
'I'm not here to tear down anyone's beliefs. I just want women to know they're allowed to be whole – spiritual, sexual, expressive – and still worthy of love, faith, and community,' she concluded.

Sami Sheen flaunts bikini body after revealing breast implant illness amid mom Denise Richards' divorce drama

Sami Sheen took to Instagram with a new bikini post on Tuesday, after recently revealing she has been suffering from breast implant illness. The 21-year-old daughter of Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen posted a snap of herself in a yellow bikini with a white lace trim to her Instagram Stories. The OnlyFans star — whose actress mom Denise is currently in the midst of a divorce from estranged husband Aaron Phypers — showed off her toned midriff and belly button piercing in the selfie, which was taken from neck down. She paired the look with a white skirt, with her bikini bottoms peeking out from underneath. The post comes weeks after Sami revealed she plans to have her breast implants removed less than two years after she got them. Sami — who recently blasted her Christian sister Lola Sheen, 20, as 'homophobic and transphobic' — shared she's been 'experiencing health issues' and 'the weirdest symptoms' for nearly two years. Sami also shared she was feeling 'kind of devastated' about having to undergo the surgery, and worried how it would affect her OnlyFans career in an interview with Us Weekly. 'I've always been such a confident woman, but there's just something so different about finally getting the surgery you've always wanted and they've made me feel so womanly and feminine,' she said. 'I finally can fit into certain shirts now and just like little things where I just feel like an extra boost of confidence.' 'I definitely am gonna get a lot of photos of my boobs before I have to say bye to them forever. And I'm gonna stock up on my content and then, after that, once I'm all healed, I don't know. We'll see.' After getting reassurance from some of her subscribers, she said that it's 'nice to hear that I'm still gonna have subscribers even though most of them are probably there for the look I have now.' In her original Instagram post announcing her health woes, Sami said that she 'finally discovered that I have breast implant illness,' adding, 'idk how I [hadn't] figured this out sooner but I'm so happy to finally have an answer.' She told her 202,000 followers, 'I'm hoping to get them removed asap so I can start feeling better.' And she asked, 'Pls lmk if you know of any good explant surgeons near LA.' Looking back at a picture of her pre-cosmetic surgery figure, Sami said, 'It's definitely gonna be hard going back to this size. not only physically, but mentally.' She lamented, 'I don't want to at all but i know i'll feel so much better once they are out. so i guess it's worth it.' She told fans, 'i posted about this on my tiktok but figured i would talk about it on here in case anyone else is experiencing the same thing. this is your sign to always put your health first!!!' The reality television star also noted that her sickness has affected her hair, writing in parentheses, 'also i can't believe this is all my real hair, another thing that these implants took from me.' Someone asked Sheen what her symptoms are, which she detailed in a long list. Chronic fatigue, headaches, acne, memory loss, brain fog, vertigo, joint pain, dry eyes, and mood swings were just some of the uncomfortable effects. Also listed were hair loss, allergies, skin rashes, severe anxiety, and sensitivity to temperature. Sami shared, 'BII often mimics certain autoimmune diseases, but I'm certain it's my implants because these symptoms started almost immediately after getting them done.' The influencer said she experiences 'nearly all of these symptoms every single day' and that 'it's exhausting.' As recently as April, Sami said on TikTok that she planned to get another, larger boob job. She said at the time, 'They're finally fully dropped and settled in. I feel like I could've gone bigger and I really wish I went bigger. When the time comes to get them redone I'm definitely going bigger.' The star initially went under the knife in 2023 at age 19. 'I think I'm gonna go over the muscle so they look a little bit more natural,' the nepo baby shared at the time. On an episode of Bravo's Wild Things, in which she stars alongside mom Denise and sister Lola, Sami admitted childhood bullying led her to join OnlyFans so that she could fund her plastic surgery. She documented her rhinoplasty with celebrity surgeon Dr. Deepak Dugar on the show, which premiered March 4. 'High school was very hard. I had to deal with kids bullying me. People would say that I looked like my dad,' she said of her famous father. And Sami is no stranger to plastic surgery, detailing her many procedures during an appearance on Gia Guidice's Casual Chaos podcast. 'I started with lip filler when I was 18. Obviously, I went to the wrong person, had to get it dissolved, start over,' Sami continued. 'Before I got my nose done, I discovered nose filler. They would fill the tip and try and make it look cuter. But the guy literally told me, "You're going to need a rhinoplasty to get the look that you want."' It comes after Sami doled out tips for dealing with a toxic partner just one day before stepdad Aaron Phypers filed for divorce from her mom Denise. Engaging her 189,000 TikTok followers, the 21-year-old influencer advised, 'If you're dating someone toxic, but you don't really know if they're toxic... You need to ask yourself: if you had a daughter and she was dating a man like this, what would you tell her?' She added, 'And then, boom. You're like, "OK, I would tell her to breakup with him, block him, move on, like he's a piece of s***, treats her like s***." I don't know, that works for me because sometimes it's so easy for me to overlook everything. But if I'm imagining having a kid and she's getting treated like this, absolutely the f*** not.' Phypers, 52, filed for divorce on Monday, July 7 after six years of marriage. He listed the date of separation from the 54-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills veteran as July 4. The actor cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the breakup. Aaron is seeking spousal support from Denise to help cover his hefty $105,000 a month expenses. The estranged couple appear together on the reality TV series Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, along with Sami, Lola, and Denise's adopted daughter Eloise, 13. The last time she posted an image with her husband was in April, and their most recent red carpet appearance was in May. Phypers and Richards began dating in 2017, got engaged in January 2018, and tied the knot that September. Their Malibu wedding ceremony was filmed for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The actress was previously married to Charlie from 2002 to 2006.

The View star's secret meltdowns and 'backstage tears' revealed in stunning confession on air

One of The View co-hosts stunned the rest of the panel with a rather shocking admission of backstage meltdowns on set. The revelation happened during the Hot Topics segment of Wednesday's episode, where Whoopi Goldberg brought up a recent article about Gen Z in the workplace. The article revealed that many Gen Z (who are typically born between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s) workers are finding their 'safe space' in workplace bathrooms. Goldberg, 69, insisted that she was her own safe space, while Sunny Hostin, 56, said she has, 'never felt the luxury to cry at work.' 'I just try to get my work done, be as excellent as I can and go home and chill out, but I don't know,' Hostin said. It was then that one of hosts admitted to crying at work, the youngest in The View panel, Alyssa Farah Griffin, 35. 'I cry at work but I hide it, so my bosses will never know,' Griffin said, which clearly stunned Hostin, who asked, 'You cry at work?' 'I have cried at this job at least a half a dozen times, are you kidding me?' Griffin said with a laugh, adding facetiously, 'Have you done this job?' Griffin added that her revelation reminded her of a meme from The Simpsons which she showed to the crowd, where Bart Simpson is showing his friend Milhouse where he goes to cry, adding, 'That's every corner of this building.' Joy Behar then asked, 'What did you cry about? Give me an example,' as Griffin admitted, 'This is a very hard job to do, and I, oftentimes, have the only opinion that's different at a table of five people.' Sara Haines, 47, chimed in and said, 'Let me clarify, it's not just a Gen Z problem,' as Griffin joked that Haines has 'cried on air.' 'Gen Z and maybe the generation before are talking about it because they can call it something. For years and decades and millenia, we have have all channeled it into other places,' Haines added. Haines admitted she does cry at work, and when Hostin asked what she cries about, Haines admitted, 'Every breakup I've ever went through. I try to hide it as well, but I don't hide in bathrooms because I hate bathrooms.' 'Where I camped out was I took a coffee run with a girlfriend and come back very puffy,' Haines admitted. Goldberg chimed in and said, 'The thing that shocks me, it's like, there is nothing that people should be able to do to you to make you cry, because let us support you, because nobody should be crying at this job, nobody,' as the audience applauded Griffin then added, 'I would like to state, for the record, this is a great job, and every time I have cried, (producer) Brian (Teta) gives great hugs.' Goldberg chimed in and said, 'The thing that shocks me, it's like, there is nothing that people should be able to do to you to make you cry, because let us support you, because nobody should be crying at this job, nobody,' as the audience applauded. Griffin joined The View as a permanent host in 2022, after making several guest-hosting appearances in 2021 and 2022. She previously served as the Press Secretary for Vice President Mike Pence, Press Secretary of the Department of Defense and the White House Director of Strategic Communications during the first Donald Trump administration.

Former 'Love Island USA' contestant Cierra Ortega apologizes for using racial slur

Former 'Love Island USA' contestant Cierra Ortega apologized Wednesday for resurfaced posts where she used a racial slur against Asian people. Just a week before the reality show's finale, Ortega, who was half of one of the season's strongest couples, left the villa after old posts resurfaced that contained the slur. Ortega addressed the entire Asian community in her nearly five minute TikTok video and said she is 'deeply, truly, honestly so sorry.' 'This is not an apology video. This is an accountability video,' Ortega said in the video. 'I had no idea that the word held as much pain, as much harm, and came with the history that it did, or I never would have used it,' Ortega said. 'I had no ill intention when I was using it, but that's absolutely no excuse because intent doesn't excuse ignorance.' Ortega, who has been back in the United States for about 48 hours, said she has struggled most with the backlash experienced by her family, who she said doesn't feel safe in their own home, and have had immigration authorities called on them. 'There's no need to fight hate with hate. I don't think that that's justice," Ortega said. "And if you want to know that you're heard and that I'm sorry and that I will move differently, I promise you, that's what will happen.' Ortega's removal from the villa was announced early in Sunday's episode. Host Iain Stirling said she had left 'due to a personal situation.' 'I completely agree with the network's decision to remove me from the villa. I think that this is something that deserved punishment and the punishment is absolutely been received,' Ortega said. Her video made no mention of her 'Love Island' partner, Nic Vansteenberghe.
