Influencer Tammy Tay recently revealed that she went to OnlyFans to make ends meet after taking a six-figure loan to keep her businesses afloat during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Ms Tay runs a facial salon and a pamper parlour in Joo Chiat, both of which were severely hit when the industry was forced to suspend operations during the pandemic.She refused to shut down her businesses as she “felt bad” for her staff and opted to take up a five-year loan for rental and manpower costs.
When safety measures forced her to shut down her stores completely, Ms Tay said she couldn’t do anything yet still had to pay rent.“I got to make ends meet, I got to do something without much investment. At the back of my head, I’ve seen people do OnlyFans. I’ve heard a lot about OnlyFans. I’m actually a fan of some of the creators,”She thought that she could pay off the loan within 10 months or less through the platform.
Regarding her kids, aged seven and eight, Ms Tay said they are currently at the age when they don’t know, but added that she is open to telling them about this part of her life.
