A pastor in Brazil, who used to be a model, is returning to her revealing past, but claims to have a stronger connection with God now, per the New York Post. Ana Akiva, a 36-year-old pastor from the Fuxico Gospel church, revealed her plans to prioritize OnlyFans temporarily, believing that she can return to church in the future.
The woman told CEN,
“I believe that making sensual content does not diminish me as a daughter of God or as a person.”
She confessed that she stopped being a pastor “out of respect for God.”
With a substantial following of 100,000 on Instagram, Akiva’s transition from modeling to a more sensual path should be seamless. After participating in Brazil’s Miss BumBum competition, she embraced religion in 2015. Akiva urges others to refrain from judging her decisions, reminding them of the biblical saying,
“Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”
The former pastor expressed herself
“I began to see that [the church] is a corrupt environment, it is even worse than the secular world because there they are preaching one thing and living another.”
“Not all of them, but a large part is corrupt,”
she continued.
Akiva attributes part of her struggle to her ex-husband, Youssef Akiva, who, as a fellow clergy member, she claims held her back throughout their six-year marriage.
The woman who is also a flight attendant revealed,
“When I was married, he forbade me to work outside the home and have friends. He lived for his family and his church.”
She continued,
“It’s difficult to be happy next to someone who controls your life and who never puts you up, who calls you rubbish, spits in your face, many women go through this in the church and suffer in silence just like me.”
She continued,
“It is increasingly common to hear reports of women being victims of narcissists who hide behind religion.”
