Below Deck star Kyle Stillie is embracing a bold pivot towards OnlyFans, and he insists there’s no punchline here.
In a recent Us Weekly feature, Kyle shed light on his post-season 12 endeavors, revealing, “I’m also studying level three sports massage therapy on my own time, while exploring the OnlyFans venture.”
He firmly stated, “I’m not even joking” about his intent to step into the adult content space after this experience.
As he elaborated, “Looking at myself from an external perspective, if I can monetize the character of Kyle Stillie — that Scottish guy you see online — and stay sane while my friends recognize who I truly am, I’m all for it.” He admitted to feeling slight unease over how he’s perceived online but is determined to take control of the narrative.
Kyle is seemingly unfazed by public opinion, stating, “People will always talk and judge. If I’ve had my body exposed on TV for free, why not cash in on it? I have no shame. It seems quite reasonable to make some money off what I’ve already shared.”
Since his debut in season 11, Kyle has once again found himself under the authority of Captain Kerry in season 12, but not without some drama, notably revolving around a rumor he propagated concerning a tryst with a charter guest, Helen Hoey.
Despite retracting his statement when the news reached Kerry, the fallout was immediate and damaging. After airing earlier this summer, Kyle has kept up the banter regarding assumptions of his intimacy with Helen during off-camera moments.
“Since filming, I’ve seen changes within myself. I’m more conscious of my alcohol use; I don’t think I’ve ever had a serious issue, but I wouldn’t want to reach my 40s only to be told, ‘Mate, chill out.’ It’s a beneficial perspective that keeps me grounded and directing my life wisely,” Kyle said, reflecting on his behavior while watching the show.
While Kyle relishes his time in the yachting scene, he has no plans to continue with that career, revealing that youthful ambition isn’t a guarantee of longevity in this volatile industry. The demands of the yachting lifestyle, wrapped in drinking and partying culture, have given him pause.
He concluded, “Had I returned to being a deckhand, I may have not initially recognized my own potentially hazardous relationship with alcohol. This journey has boosted my mindfulness regarding my behaviors and my health choices, pushing me away from self-destructive paths that I wish to avoid.”
