They say no good deed goes unpunished, but it turns out some bad deeds can result in massive rewards.
A 28-year-old OnlyFans model who was arrested for shoplifting and disorderly conduct got a huge payday after her mugshot exploded on the popular ‘Mugshawtys’ Instagram page.
Abbie Newman was going through a rough patch in her life managing her borderline personality disorder and PTSD while off her medication as well as dealing with a traumatic miscarriage.
However, her life suddenly got a lot better when she was arrested for shoplifting in Alabama – something she says ended up “saving her life.”
OnlyFans model makes a fortune after being arrested
Speaking with The Daily Mail, Newman explained that after she got out of jail, she saw her mugshots had done viral across social media and her accounts were blowing up.
“I was really depressed right before the arrest and didn’t even log on [to my OnlyFans account] for a good while,” she said. “Then I made $24,000 in a week after getting out of jail, just from customers adding my Snapchat, Twitter and OnlyFans.”

The OnlyFans model explained that the huge payday let her pay off debts and live a more comfortable life. Not bad, considering most people don’t exactly benefit from being arrested.
“Really it turned out for the best I suppose,” she added. “Honestly, going to jail didn’t just help me financially, it also saved my life in a way.”
For her part, the 28-year-old mom says she understands how lucky she is, stating that “most people don’t get second chances” while she believes she’s on her tenth.
This isn’t the first time a model has benefitted from breaking the law. Earlier this year, a politician made a fortune on an OnlyFans-like site despite being under investigation for stealing taxpayer money.
