OnlyFans star Sophie Rain has fired back at Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishback over his controversial plan to tax 50 percent of income for content creators on the platform.
On Tuesday, January 13, 2026, Rain shared her response on X, writing: “Targeting a group of individuals using their job to survive when there are multibillion-dollar businesses that don’t pay taxes is insane.”
What James Fishback Proposed
Fishback, a 31-year-old Republican and CEO of investment firm Azoria, called OnlyFans an “online degeneracy platform”. In an interview with NXR Studios, he announced that if elected Florida Governor, he would implement a 50 percent “sin tax” on the earnings of OnlyFans creators.
Fishback explained his reasoning:
-
The tax would disincentivize behavior he considers immoral.
-
He wants to prevent young women from selling sexual content online, encouraging them instead to focus on raising families.
-
He specifically tagged Sophie Rain in his post, saying:
“Pay up or quit OnlyFans.”
Currently, Fishback is a political newcomer, polling at about 3 percent, far behind frontrunner Byron Donalds.
Sophie Rain’s Response
Rain, 21, is one of the platform’s most successful creators, earning over $95 million last year. She clarified that she is a devout Christian and a virgin, highlighting the hypocrisy she sees in Fishback’s plan.
In her video on X, Rain said:
-
She already pays 37 percent in taxes.
-
She would be willing to pay more if large corporations were also taxed properly, but they are not.
-
Many OnlyFans creators use the platform to support their families, and taxing them heavily would hurt those already struggling.
Rain added: “Never in my whole life did I think that I would wake up and see a Florida politician start beef at me for clout.”
Why This Matters
The debate highlights ongoing tensions over adult content, taxation, and digital work. Sophie Rain’s response emphasizes the economic and social realities of creators on OnlyFans, while Fishback’s proposal has sparked national conversation about morality, work, and taxation in the digital age.
