Brazilian pastor-turned-model, 36, reveals that her former congregants are now following her on OnlyFans and claims that 'sensual content does not diminish me as a daughter of God'

A pastor-turned-model has been taken aback by the number of congregants that have gone from listening to her sermons from the church pew to catching a glimpse of her nude content on social media.

Ana Akiva traded the preaching from an Evangelical Church in the southeastern Brazilian state of São Paulo to posing for the camera after she ended her abusive marriage to her husband Youssef Akiva in 2022.

'Some [people] made a point of saying that they went to church because they were horny because they wanted to see me,' Ana Akiva said, as quoted by news outlet G1.

The 36-year-old erotic content model revealed that several members of the congregation would jam her inbox with provocative pictures of themselves snapped at the house of worship. 

Ana Akiva went from preaching at a church to posing in front of a camera and selling nude content on adult social media platforms like OnlyFans after she split from her former abusive preacher husband Youssef Akiva

'Some sent intimate photos in the church bathroom,' she said. 'I was shocked.'

The former contestant for Miss Bumbum – a beauty pageant that recognized the top buttocks in the South American nation – Akiva said most of her devotees claimed they stopped attending the weekly services once she stepped away.

'Many said they left the church after I abandoned preaching,' she said. 'Others opened up about the erotic fantasies they had with me at the time, each thing unbelievable.'

Ana Akiva turned to the church in 2015 upon meeting her future husband before years of emotional and psychological abuse made her seek a divorce in November 2022.

'It is increasingly common to hear reports of women being victims of narcissists who hide behind religion,' she explained.

'The church is a safe place for the abuser, because there he can put his plan into practice using the word of God,' Ana Akiva added. 'Some verses talk about submission, obedience and silence. I suffered for a long time, forgiving all the abuse because I understood that it was my obligation.'

Today she has more than 165,000 followers on Instagram and sells her nude content on OnlyFans and Privacy, a Brazilian adult platform.

She claims that her followers include famous actors, along with notable soccer players and country music singers.

She often interacts with subscribers, who share confessions of their erotic fantasies.

'It's a game full of excitement and mystery,' Ana Akiva said. 'They love it and tell me what they want. Penance is always exaggerated in pleasure.'

Despite her newfound fame, she confessed that she maintains her relationship with God away from the church.

'One day I can go back to church, I have faith in God,' Akiva said. 'I believe that making sensual content does not diminish me as a daughter of God or as a person, but out of respect for God I decided to step away from leadership and the title of pastor.'
