Northern Ireland OnlyFans star Meghan O'Neill, who earns €11k per week, has praised the adult entertainment industry as "the nicest industry" she's ever worked in. The former mechanic from Co Antrim turned to porn just five months ago after making a substantial income on the adult subscription site Only Fans.

The 32-year-old mother-of-two has had a varied career, including modelling, being a stay-at-home mum, dancing, mechanics, owning a gym and working in PR.

Meghan entered the world of porn in January this year and told the Irish Mirror: "Porn is just so nice. It is the nicest industry that I have ever worked in. I've been involved in everything."

She continued: "I started modelling when I was 15 and when I turned 18, I got into glamour modelling. Then I had my own PR company at 21. I was a dancer and a mechanic's apprentice for a year, so I've also been in the car industry,".

"I've been in the modelling industry and did PR for cars, plus the fitness industry, including powerlifting. I also did some TV and film on BBC and UTV. I have been in every type of industry and the porn industry is genuinely the nicest.", reports the Irish Mirror.

She concluded by saying: "The porn industry has been by far the nicest, kindest, most supportive industry ever. People might not think that, looking from the outside in, but it is absolutely brilliant."

Meghan recently shared on the podcast 'Stripped Off': "I used to be a gym owner and I have done everything under the sun. I have always been an exhibitionist, that's my personality. I started glamour modelling as soon as I turned 18. I couldn't wait to get stripped off."

She continued: "I was a stay-at-home mum for seven years, then I opened my gym, but I kept thinking that I wanted to be a porn star. I just wanted to do it, I just absolutely love it. My mummy and daddy support me, no matter what."

Last year, Meghan expressed her views on the stigma associated with her line of work: "the stigma around being in the adult industry, or being a sex worker of any kind, is horrific" though she clarified this wasn't the case within the industry itself. She features in a new television documentary about fellow Irish adult performer Andy Lee, 35, from Dublin.

On camera, Meghan stated: "The industry itself is probably one of the best industries that I have ever been in. People are the nicest."

Discussing her business model with the Irish Mirror, Meghan said: "I make all my money by making my own porn and I sell it myself on Only Fans. But I don't like to talk about money because any time I do, everyone goes mad."
