An Inside Look at Adelia: That’s OFfensive Podcast Founder Journey

August 2, 2022

Adelia, aka Deelz, was born and raised in California. She started modeling and competing in pageants at the age of three. Adelia’s view of life differed from her religious family. They did not support her nontraditional ways, which made her rebellious. After failing a weed test in her senior year of high school, she was sent to a rehabilitation center for seven months. She was so discouraged during her stay at rehab that she developed post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and an eating disorder by the time she left.

After high school, she modeled and competed in beauty pageants, winning the Miss California title three times. She attended the University of Arizona and pursued a degree in marketing. In college, she discovered a lot about herself and that her perspective on specific issues differed significantly from others. She enjoyed showing off her body, posting sexy Instagram pictures, and attending raves in risqué outfits. After graduating from college, she got two corporate jobs but found them stifling. She hated herself and life. It was only after joining the OnlyFans platform that her life changed dramatically and she gained confidence in herself and her way of life.

She created a podcast dedicated to empowering men and women and de-stigmatizing “OFfensive” careers, i.e., OnlyFans. The podcast grew to over 500K subscribers on OnlyFans. She then created a podcast called That’s OFfensive, which launched on all podcasting platforms in October. A few weeks later, she became ill from mold poisoning and was unable to create podcasts for three months due to issues with her medications. “I lost everything I enjoyed about life. What kept me running was the thought of it all being over and being able to accomplish all of my goals. Once I started getting back in the swing of things, I was so stoked I powered through,” she says. Even though she had not fully recovered from her illness, she gradually weaned off her medications after becoming unable to tolerate them.

Adelia has been outstanding in the industry, as she clarifies. “One of the main reasons I stand out in my industry is the hard work I put in. I work every day and develop marketing strategies on every platform to have a different angle and point of interest. I get extremely vulnerable on my podcast and talk in-depth about my experiences and growth. There aren’t a lot of parts of myself that I hide from social media, and I do give it my all. I’m quirky, honest, and genuine.”

Adelia can certainly be proud of her achievements as she currently has 240K plus fans on OnlyFans, almost 700K on Tiktok, and approximately 466K on Instagram. She has made around two million dollars in less than two years on OnlyFans. She only regrets that no one told her about the advantages of Tiktok from the beginning. Those who joined the platform early have consistently boasted a considerable following, and she admires their success. She hopes her podcast, That’s OFfensive, will be the most listened to in California and will be signed by Barstool, paving the way for her own podcast network shortly.
