A lawyer who quit to become an OnlyFans performer says she now makes more money and is happier

Less than six months after getting her first job as an attorney, Jazmen Jafar quit to become a full-time OnlyFans creator.

Her lawyer role was earning her $75,000 a year, but the 27-year-old made it in February alone, making over $180,000 through OnlyFans in the first three months of the year. To protect the OnlyFans actress uses the name Jasmine Jafar. This is a play about Princess Jasmine and Jafar, characters from the Disney movie Aladdin. OnlyFans has nearly 1,200 posts and 2,200 videos of her on her profile and promises her daily live stream for $6.99 per month.

Insiders viewed documents confirming her identity, previous jobs and income. Jafar has spent most of her life following the path set by her parents in the Middle East, she said. She passed her bar exam and went to the interview hoping she wouldn’t get the job because she didn’t want to pursue her lawyer career, but passed it to appease her family.

“In the past, when my future was so planned and I had a long, stable and wonderful career in law, I hated the idea of my future,” she told an insider. The content creators who post nude photos and videos on the platform launched OnlyFans accounts in early 2021 before joining the law firm in October of this year. She then took a part-time job as a content creator to increase her income and finally retired from the legal profession in March 2022.

“I was working at a law firm during the day and coming home at night shooting content,” she said. “I was filming all weekend. It was always awkward going to the office on Mondays and my co-workers asked me how I was spending my weekends and actually saw me sucking a dildo or something. Even though I was filming, I replied, “I’m just relaxing inside.”

Jafar worked 10 hours a day at the law firm, and despite now putting in longer hours, she said she’s happier.

She said her family was shocked when she told them about being on OnlyFans, and while they don’t approve, she said they still love her.

“The world is really changing, and the traditional career paths are not what they used to be,” Jafar said. “Back in the day, jobs like lawyer, engineer, and doctor were what brought you money and stability, but now, with the internet, there’s endless possibilities with what you can do.”

She said the decision to quit being a lawyer was never about money, but that OnlyFans was a “vehicle” for escaping a career she was not happy in.

“Many people don’t realize that a lot of lawyers are miserable, and I’m often told I’m crazy for leaving a law job to be a sex worker, but it’s only people that have a glamorized view of being a lawyer that don’t understand my decision.”

Jafar now wants to advocate for sex workers’ rights and branch out into other forms of content creation, so she started a YouTube channel. She puts her legal knowledge to use by unofficially helping other OnlyFans creators review their contracts if they have agents.

“My goal is to break some of the stigma and stereotypes surrounding sex work and show people that it’s not a last resort,” she said. “For me, it’s a first resort, because I had a well-paid job that I could’ve done for the rest of my life. I chose this because I wanted freedom and happiness.”
