AMERICAN Pie sex symbol Shannon Elizabeth has revealed the staggering amount she’s raking in from OnlyFans – after quitting Hollywood.

Actress Shannon – who is best known for her role as exchange student Nadia in the American Pie franchise – has opened up about joining the adult site and having ‘a lot of fun’.

The 52-year-old told Variety: “I think I was one of the first actors to have one.

“The only people who had websites at the time were porn stars. That was it.

“So, everyone thought, ‘Why are you putting a website up?’ But we thought that was the next step in the evolution of things.”

The actress launched her account on the subscription site back in April to show off her ‘sexy’ side.

“I crossed $1 million (£74k) in nine days,” she shared. “It was really surprising, and I was honoured that my fans came out and supported me.

“I had no idea what to expect, and the response has been really amazing. I’m chatting with people all the time and it’s been a lot of fun.

“There are a bunch of actors that have recently gotten on and we’re starting to pull it back to what it was meant to be,” Elizabeth added.

“It doesn’t have to be only for adult entertainment. It can be whatever you want it to be.”

“I was going through a divorce here in South Africa and was chatting to my manager Joe about what’s next and how to restart things in my life.

“I had really neglected a lot of things, and he brought it up as an option. I wasn’t sure and didn’t know much about it, and we looked into it, and I thought, ‘Yeah, why not?’” explained Elizabeth.

The brunette beauty returned to the American Pie franchise for the fourth and final instalment American Reunion in 2012 – but hasn’t acted since 2024.

Shannon currently lives in South Africa and recently opened up about being cast in her breakout role, explaining how working as a model prior to American Pie was a big help. 

She continued: “For the last ten years I’ve been living off of my savings for the most part because I haven’t been as focused on work.

“To be able to get myself back to the point where I’m not struggling and am able to choose projects because I like them and not because I need the money — it’s definitely giving me more freedom to do that.”

When the movie first came out 18 years ago, Nadia became infamous for her scene with character Jim Levenstein (Jason Biggs) where he was streamed over webcam trying to seduce her.

Before American Pie, Nadia worked as a model before landing a small part in the killer snowman flick Jack Frost in 1997.

But starring as Nadia led to roles in Scary Movie, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back – along with several magazine shoots.

The keen animal activist, vegan and environmentalist has also been in a number of TV shows including Just Shoot Me!, That ‘70s Show, The Twilight Zone, Punk’d and Dancing With The Stars (US).

In her personal life, Shannon was married to actors Joseph D. Reitman from 2002 to 2005.

After her stint on Dancing with the Stars, she dated her dancing partner Derek Hough for over a year, until August 2009, but the pair later split.

Kris Jenner’s mom, Mary Jo “MJ” Shannon, has died.

Jenner announced the news of Shannon’s death Thursday in an Instagram tribute. She was 91.

“Today, we said goodbye to my beautiful Mommy MJ. … There are no words that could ever capture what she has meant to me or the heartbreak of having to say goodbye. My mom was the heart of our family.”

Jenner wrote that her mother, the matriarch of the Jenner-Kardashian clan, taught her everything that “truly matters.”

“To love your family fiercely, to be kind, to show up for the people you love, and to never take a single moment together for granted,” she wrote alongside a glamour shot of Shannon. “She taught us that family is everything. She showed us how to love unconditionally and how to find joy in the little moments. She showed me how to face life’s challenges with resilience and faith.”

Jenner concluded the post with an open letter to MJ:

“Mom, thank you for every sacrifice you made, every piece of wisdom you shared, and every moment you loved us so completely. I will miss our daily talks, your smile, your laughter… Our hearts are broken, but we find comfort knowing that love like yours never truly leaves us. Your love will live on in our family, in our traditions, in every moment we are together, and in every life you touched. When I look at my kids and my grandkids, I will forever see pieces of you in all of us. There is not a part of me that isn’t shaped by you. And if I have done anything right in this world, it’s because I spent my life trying to live in a way that would make you proud. Every memory, every moment, every blessing, it was all because of you, and I will forever thank God every single day for making you my mommy. My heart is broken into a million pieces… thank you for giving me the greatest childhood and oh what a beautiful blessed life… I love you forever Mommy. Thank you for giving us everything.”

Born Mary Jo Campbell on July 26, 1934, MJ married her high school sweetheart, whom she divorced two months later. Then in 1954, she wed Jenner’s dad, Robert “Bob” True Houghton. She gave birth to Jenner the following year and Jenner’s late sister, Karen Houghton, in 1958. After seven years of marriage, MJ and Bob called it quits and she married Harry Shannon, a businessman who helped raise Jenner and her sister in San Diego, where MJ ran a children’s clothing store.

Harry Shannon died in 2003.

MJ was featured on the famous clan’s E! reality series “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” and the follow-up Hulu series “The Kardashians” numerous times over the years. In a clip from the show, granddaughter Kim Kardashian detailed that her grandmother had survived colon cancer and breast cancer and, in her sunset years, struggled with sickness resulting from the cancer treatments.

In one clip from the show, MJ said she didn’t have an appetite without taking her “medication” first. Then she persuaded her daughter, Jenner, to have marijuana gummies with her. Together they lit some incense and munched on muffins and chips and guacamole.

In another clip, Jenner interviews MJ about her life, and during the sit-down, Jenner asks MJ, “What’s your biggest fear?”

MJ replies, “I try not to fear,” and then follows up asking Jenner what her biggest fear is.

Jenner starts to cry and says, “I don’t want to say it. I can’t believe I’m crying. … Just, losing someone.”

On Thursday, Kim Kardashian caught flak online when a post featuring the Skims mogul and her sister Khloe Kardashian swigging tequila from a boat on a lake published shortly after Jenner announced the news of MJ’s death.

“This post was scheduled a few days ago before we lost MJ, so its timing came right alongside her passing,” Kim wrote in the comment section of the post. “I’ve been by my mom and grandma’s side this past week, and my heart is completely with my family right now. We love and miss her so deeply, and in the days ahead, we’ll be focusing on celebrating her beautiful life.”

Kim followed up with a post celebrating her grandmother, writing, “My sweet Grandma MJ, my best friend, my gossip buddy, my forever twin … You taught all of us the importance of family, and those values are something we’ll carry with us forever!!!!! You were the woman who showed me what it meant to be a hardworking businesswoman. You gave me my very first job at your store in San Diego and taught me lessons about work ethic, strength, and confidence that I’ve carried with me ever since.

“You always believed in me, championed me, and were my safe place. You truly were the matriarch of our family, and your love is woven into all of us. I know you’re at peace now. Give Papa Harry, Aunt Karen, and my dad a hug for me. You will always be a part of me, I love you soooooo much and I will miss you forever and ever. … YOU ARE THE BEST OF US!!!”

Two weeks ago, Jenner’s bodyguard, Mason Haynes, who also worked as a close protection guard for other members of the Kardashian-Jenner family, died in a traffic accident. He was 52.
