A lawyer who quit to become an OnlyFans actress says she’s now making more money and is happier
Jazmen Jafar, 27, quit her job as a lawyer to become an OnlyFans actress.
She earned her entire annual salary of $75,000 from a law firm in just one month on the platform.
Jafar said she was tired of living her life for others and following a path set by her family.

Her legal role earned her $75,000 a year, but the 27-year-old earned that amount in February alone and more than $180,000 through OnlyFans in the first three months of this year.
To protect her privacy, the OnlyFans actress uses the name Jazmen Jafar – a play on Princess Jasmine and Jafar, the characters in the Disney movie Aladdin. There are almost 1,200 posts and 2,200 videos on their OnlyFans profile, which promises daily live streams for $6.99 a month.
Insider has viewed documents confirming her true identity, previous employment and income.
Jafar said she has spent most of her life following a path set for her by her Middle Eastern parents. She had passed the bar exam and went to the interview hoping she wouldn’t get the job as she didn’t want to pursue a legal career, but she went through with it to appease her family.
“Before, when my future was so mapped out and I had a great, long, stable law career in the works, I hated the thought of the future,” she told Insider.
The content creator, who posts nude photos and videos on the platform, launched her OnlyFans account in early 2021 before joining the law firm in October this year. She then worked nights as a sex worker to supplement her income, eventually retiring from law in March 2022.
“I worked at the law firm during the day and came home at night and filmed content,” she said. “I also filmed all weekend. It was always awkward going into the office on Mondays and co-workers would ask how I was spending my weekend and I would say ‘just chill inside’ when I was actually filming myself sucking dildos or whatever.”

Jafar worked 10 hour days at the law firm and although she now works longer hours, she says she is happier.
She says her family was shocked when she told them she was on OnlyFans and while they disagree, she says they still love her.
“The world is really changing and the traditional career paths aren’t what they used to be,” Jafar said. “Jobs like lawyer, engineer and doctor used to bring money and stability, but now with the internet there are endless possibilities what you can do.”
The Iranian says the decision to quit as a lawyer was never about money, but OnlyFans was a “vehicle” to escape from a career she wasn’t happy with.
“A lot of people don’t realize that a lot of lawyers are unhappy and I’m often told I’m crazy for quitting a law job to become a sex worker, but it’s just people who have a glorified view of being a lawyer who do it 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 uses her legal knowledge by unofficially helping other OnlyFans creators review their contracts when they have an agent.
“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. “It’s a first resort for me because I had a well-paying job that I could have done for the rest of my life. I chose it because I wanted freedom and happinessJazmen Jafer
