A sacked nursery teacher who now earns a fortune on OnlyFans has told how she gave up bodybuilding because she was “afraid of becoming masculine” from steroid abuse.
Elis Nebsniak had been working at a private school in Curitiba, southern Brazil, for five years before she was dismissed over her sexy social media snaps.
Faced with no salary coming in, the 28-year-old decided to start selling adult content on OnlyFans and Privacy.
Her decision, she said, was supported by her husband and family.
Elis’s story hit headlines all over the world after she posed on the cover of the popular magazine Sexy in November.
She spoke about her sacking, telling local media at the time: “It was a nursery school and I had always worked by the rules.
“At work, I showed a serious attitude and I was completely modest. There was no reason to sack me. It was a shock, I experienced prejudice first-hand.”
And now she has revealed that as well as being a teacher, she was also once a bodybuilder but gave it up because she was “afraid of becoming masculine”.
Elis was once named runner-up from her state in Brazil in the Wellness category by the Brazilian Bodybuilding Federation.
At the time, she only had 12 per cent body fat.
According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, women aged 20 to 39 should aim for 21 per cent to 32 per cent body fat.
Elis told local media: “I was starting to think I was ugly, very muscular, and I was afraid of becoming masculine. And the championships demanded it.
“I didn’t like this phase and ended up giving up everything. It was then that I realised I was sexy, that I started looking for a more natural shape, fit but still hot.”
She added: “The sport requires girls to get big, using anabolic steroids to become competitive.
What is not revealed are the side effects, such as hair loss, a deep voice, body hair growth, etc.
“If I had stuck with bodybuilding, I would have been unhappy and broke.”
Elis says that she has been earning around BRL 60,000 (GBP 9,200) per month from her online content.
She said: “I had never imagined living off my looks, but I’ve always been a show-off. In the end, my sacking transformed my life positively.”
She added: “Now I want to travel around the country meeting the main models on the platform [Privacy] and recording with them. Like it were a tour.”
