"She's going through that, I'm going through it as well... We're going to go in there and let our demons out...

In 2021, Andrade shared with MMA Fighting that it was her wife who advised her to join OnlyF*ns to make extra money on the side. Her brief stint on the platform led to a few of her explicit photos getting leaked, but she managed to pay off her car, rent, and other bills with the income.
