“American Pie” star Shannon Elizabeth has revealed that she is set to join OnlyFans in a shocking career move.

Why Shannon Elizabeth Is Joining OnlyFans At 52
Shannon Elizabeth is starting a new chapter in her professional career as she announced on Wednesday that she’s starting her OnlyFans account at the age of 52.
In her announcement, the “Scary Movie” actress decried how she has been subjected to decisions made by others but now wants to take control of her life and show off a “more sexy side.”
“I’ve spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career,” Elizabeth told People Magazine.
She continued, “This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a more sexy side no one has seen, and being closer to my fans.”
The Actress Quietly Split From Her Husband Shortly Before Launching Her OnlyFans Page
Meanwhile, reports suggest she’s making the move after quietly filing for divorce from her husband, Simon Borchert. The estranged couple met in 2015, although reports claim they didn’t start dating until about two years later.
They eventually tied the knot in 2021, but are reportedly now set to go their separate ways amid her latest venture into OnlyFans. However, it remains unclear if her venture into the platform is related to their divorce.
“The divorce is fresh. She is freshly single and launching her OnlyFans tomorrow morning,” a source told Page Six, revealing that she officially filed documents on Tuesday.
She’s yet to publicly acknowledge that her marriage has hit the rocks, but a Facebook post on Wednesday seems to be alluding to it.
“There’s something about the ocean that resets everything—slows the noise, softens the edges, and brings you right back to what matters. Grateful for these quiet moments, sandy paws, and unconditional love,” she wrote.
The ‘American Pie’ Actress Considered Her Fans Before Launching Her OnlyFans Account
In a statement shared with Page Six, the “Jack Frost” actress revealed that her fans were part of the major reasons she’s joining the X-rated platform, as she wants to get closer to them and connect better.
“Reconnecting with my fans through appearances has reminded me just how much their support has meant to me throughout my career–and how much I’ve missed that energy,” she said.
“OnlyFans gives me the opportunity to offer something more–a behind-the-scenes, unfiltered look at my life and a genuine connection that no other platform allows,” she continued.
The actress added, “This is also where I’ll be sharing exclusive content that you simply won’t find anywhere else. This isn’t just content to watch from a distance. This is for the people who have always shown up for me, and I want them to feel that.”
Elizabeth, who’s also an animal activist, shared that she’ll continue doing her charity work as it “remains incredibly close to my heart.” However, she considered the new path because she feels like it’s the “perfect moment to open up my world to the fans who have been with me throughout this journey.”
“I’m so excited for this,” she added.
Shannon Elizabeth Was ‘Really Scared’ Auditioning For ‘American Pie’
Elizabeth rose to fame after landing the role of the sexy foreign exchange student, Nadia, in “American Pie,” but recently revealed that bringing the character to life was a Herculean task.
In an April interview with Fox News, she recalled how starring in the film was very difficult, but then the audition was almost impossible, which left her “really scared.”
“The audition process for American Pie was difficult,” she told the news outlet in an interview published earlier this month. “I was scared. I was really scared.”
The teen comedy film follows a group of high school students who have all agreed amongst themselves to lose their virginity before graduation, which leads them to undertake several mischievous attempts to do so.
The Actress Reveals Being Part Of The Cult Classic Helped Push Her Out Of Her Comfort Zone
Elizabeth explained that playing Nadia literally forced her out of her comfort zone, as even though she had experience as a model, she struggled to play the sultry scenes she was involved in.
“I’m not somebody [who’s] super comfortable in my own skin, to be honest,” she admitted. “But, you just overcome that.”
She added. “When you have to turn it on, you have to work, because I do love working. I do love acting. So you just let everything else go.”
