“I think it’s a seal on OnlyFans that’s only for adult content, and I don’t think it’s that,” Wheeler told Pak Gazette Digital, adding that she’s using it to show training content, “family time” and behind-the-scenes moments from the WNBA season.
“I want to be one of those who shows the world that it’s not just about adult content.”
Wheeler, 34, said he has “absolutely” received no negative feedback from fans about his decision to partner with the platform.
However, she has a message ready for any fans who disagree with the decision.

“I would ask them, ‘What do you do in your personal life?'” Wheeler said when asked what he would say to a fan who would ask him how he could partner with a platform known for adult content.
“Who are you to ask me what I do in my personal life? What I do shouldn’t equate to anything another human being is doing. Half the time, these fans are sitting on their trainer, watching TV, doing nothing with themselves, probably making 50-60k a year. Why should I care about their opinions? It doesn’t mean anything to me.”

Wheeler has been on Onlyfans for four months and has posted 10 videos with 16 videos. At the time of publication, it had only accumulated 20 likes in total. But she said she plans to release her “proudest video” next week, which will be a video to raise awareness about cervical cancer.
He said he doesn’t have “any goal” in mind in terms of subscribers or metrics, but that he is more hopeful about turning around the platform’s reputation.
And along the way, she hopes other WNBA players will join her on that mission.
“The announcements are coming soon, you’ll find out very soon,” she said of other WNBA players partnering with the platform, adding that it’s a “1,000%” possibility.

A native of Miami, Wheeler went undrafted out of Rutgers University and signed with the Atlanta Dream in 2015. After stints with the New York Liberty and Indiana Fever, she became the first undrafted player in WNBA history to be named All-Star Game MVP in 2019.
After some health complications that prevented him from playing in the 2020 season, Wheeler signed with the Los Angeles Sparks to be their new starting point guard. She returned to Atlanta Dream and Indiana Fever before signing with Seattle Storm in early 2025 and most recently was selected by Vinyl BC for the 2026 Unrivaled season.
