Top OnlyFans star Sugar Love is spilling the details on her sex work ambitions as a teenager, and that time her mother found the popular content creator’s first-ever explicit video while scrolling through her phone.

“During my high school years, amidst the whirlwind of teenage rebellion and self-discovery, I made a choice that, unbeknownst to me, would shift the very foundation of my relationship with my mother,” explains Love of the fateful day that would change her life forever. “It was my first ‘sex tape,’ and, as all secrets do, it found its way to the light – giving my deeply religious parent what I’m sure was the shock of her life.”

Love admits that after their confrontation, “the air between us charged with a mix of disbelief, disappointment and a tangible sense of betrayal. It wasn’t just about the video; it was about the unspoken expectations she had of me, the image she had crafted in her mind of who I was supposed to be. “I grew up raised by a family of strong women who believed in pulling yourself up by your bootstraps the ‘Godly’ way. I respect that mindset, but even as a teenager, I simply had different plans.”

For Love, the video was an act of rebellion, a declaration of her burgeoning adulthood in a world where she felt increasingly boxed in by familial expectations. “For my mother, it was a glaring red flag – a sign that I was veering off the path she had so carefully laid out for me—a path that, in her eyes, led to safety, success, and respectability. Our confrontation, it seemed, was less about the content of the video and more about our conflicting visions of who I was and who I was becoming.”

Now making six figures a month as one of OnlyFans’ most in-demand models, she admits that her family has accepted Love’s career choice and lifestyle. “My family loves me no matter what, and the video incident taught me the importance of boundaries, communication, and the often uncomfortable work of embracing my true self within a family of strong convictions. I’m grateful for my success, and I’m so grateful for my family.”
