On the latest episode of her misSPELLING, podcast, the mom of five discussed the cost of college tuition with guest William Shatner and joked she’s “gonna have to go on OnlyFans in order to get them into college.”
Spelling is mom to Liam Aaron McDermott, 17, Stella Doreen, 16, Hattie Margaret, 12, Finn Davey, 11 and Beau Dean, 7, with ex Dean McDermott.
The Star Trek star, 93, immediately asked what OnlyFans is, leading the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, 51, to respond, “How do you describe OnlyFans? So OnlyFans is a site I guess, originally, it was more women in the field — not sex workers — but along those lines, but now actresses do it.”

“When you say 'not sex workers, but along those lines,' they're either are [or] they’re [not],” he said. “They're either putting out or they're not putting out. They're putting out, they're looking for sexual adventure?”

William Shatner visits SiriusXM Studios on September 6, 2018 in New York City.Spelling agreed with his assessment but noted that the OnlyFans has “transformed,” noting, “There's comedians on and there's chefs on, and it's videos, and people pay. It's like, you could subscribe, but a lot of actresses do it now, and they show things.”
She further clarified, “So if you're on in a bikini or something revealing, if people subscribe and they pay more, they can get, like, a shot of you with your breast showing.”
“Everything showing?” Shatner asked as Spelling responded, “If you want, if you choose.”
Spelling said that she knows celebrities who make money off being on the site, including her “friend” Denise Richards, who created an account in June 2022. “[You can pay via] credit card, Cash app, PayPal,” she added.
Spelling previously admitted on SiriusXM's Jeff Lewis Live in January 2023 that she "subscribed under a fake name" to Richards’ OnlyFans profile and spent a whopping $400 in a matter of two days.
"I was just kind of fascinated by the whole OnlyFans, and I'm not gonna lie, I was like, 'Let me check it out. What does it entail?' " Spelling explained.

"So I looked at it, and of course, it shows something, and unless you subscribe, you can't get it. So, of course, I subscribed under a fake name," she continued. "It's riveting, because they're like, 'Hey, we might show you this in this shower.' And I just want to see. It's my friend. Like, 'Hey, how far is she going?'"
"They say, allegedly, if you tip them, they get back to you faster. So, I was like, 'Hey, love what I'm seeing. Would love to see some more,'" Spelling added, before admitting: "I ended up, in the course of two days, spending $400. I couldn't stop."
Spelling then raved of her friend: "God, she looks good. But yeah, so I kept tipping her. But I didn't want her to know it was me in the DMS."
