Camilla Araujo, one of OnlyFans’ top creators, shocked fans by announcing her departure from the platform on New Year’s Eve through a YouTube documentary titled “Becoming Her.” Her pivot to selling social media mentorship has ignited fierce backlash from followers and fellow creators who question the legitimacy and value of her new venture.
The Career Pivot
In her announcement video, Araujo revealed she’s stepping away from OnlyFans after building a massive empire. “Over the last 3 years, I’ve gained over 30 million followers and made over $20 million,” she shared. “And yeah, mostly through OnlyFans. But today, I quit.”
Her new program, Becoming Her, promises to teach students how to replicate her social media success. The course description claims to expose “the Viral Content Formula I used to make millions from my phone and how you can steal it.”
The Backlash Begins
The announcement triggered immediate skepticism across social media platforms. Critics have labeled the program a potential scam, pointing to several red flags:
- Course fees reportedly reaching $5,000
- Application process requiring credit score information
- Questions about available spending money
- Limited spot claims creating artificial scarcity
One Instagram user commented on Araujo’s promotional video:
> “Was great.. till I found out it’s a pay in pyramid scheme 🙏🏼😭💔”
Insider Investigation
OnlyFans creator Forrest Smith conducted her own investigation into the program, sharing findings on TikTok. She revealed the application process screens for financial capacity before offering callbacks.
Smith explained:
> “Only if applicants indicate that they can spend $2,000 – $5,000 on the course when they apply, will they receive a call back from the Becoming Her team. If you put in that you can’t spend that amount of money, it’s going to ask you what your credit score is.”
She tested the system by purchasing a $67 mini-course, finding it contained “very valuable information” but also “stuff you can get for free online.” Despite finding some value, she ultimately advised against the investment.
