Camille Winbush, forever etched in TV history as Vanessa “Nessa” Thomkins from The Bernie Mac Show, isn’t here for the haters. The 33-year-old actress unleashed a fiery Twitter storm in early 2023, clapping back at trolls who dared to shame her and her on-screen sister, Dee Dee Davis, for joining OnlyFans. What started as a whisper of controversy has exploded into a full-on celebration of empowerment, with Winbush dropping a bombshell that’s got everyone talking: she’s raked in “a couple mil” in less than two years on the platform. Take that, naysayers!

“The trolls are hungry again, so here’s some food for thought,” Winbush tweeted, her words dripping with defiance. “I’ve never been arrested, never been on drugs, don’t have any baby daddies, I pay all my taxes, I drink water, and mind the business that pays me.” She didn’t stop there. “If the most scandalous thing strangers can say about me is that I took some sexy pics as an adult and made a couple mil in less than 2yrs, I think I’m doing alright as a human in today’s society.” Fans flooded Instagram’s The Neighborhood Talk with support, one writing, “Leave the grown women alone!! The only way you know they’re on there is if you’re on there too.” Another added, “It’s their lives—how does this affect you?”

Winbush, who kicked off her OnlyFans journey in February 2021, made it clear she’s doing it her way—117 posts and counting, with “NO NUDITY” proudly stamped in her bio. She’s all about singing, dancing, and exclusive content, not the explicit fare some might expect. Davis, 26, followed suit in 2023, declaring “I’m a Big girl now” with just 10 posts by mid-February. Both women, once the adorable nieces of the late Bernie Mac on the beloved sitcom, have flipped the script on their child-star pasts. This isn’t their first rodeo with backlash, either. In 2021, Winbush slammed fans invoking Bernie Mac’s name, saying, “He’s not turning over in his grave. STOP saying that. It’s not funny.”

The numbers don’t lie—Winbush’s millions prove she’s not just surviving, she’s thriving. Dee Dee Davis, meanwhile, is carving her own path, and their on-screen brother Jeremy Suarez keeps the Bernie Mac nostalgia alive with throwback posts. Together, they’ve outgrown the small screen and the small minds trying to box them in. “Camille Simoine Winbush will never be a disgrace,” she declared, capping her rant with a Black History Month salute and a “#VillainEra” mic drop. From fictional family to real-life bosses, Winbush and Davis are rewriting their story—one subscription at a time—and leaving trolls in the dust.
