It’s been over a year since Flipping Out alum joined OnlyFans, and he doesn’t regret the career move.

During a Thursday, January 2, Instagram Story Q&A, Lehnhoff, 37, was asked how he feels knowing that OnlyFans subscribers have seen him strip down and have sex with fiancé .

“[It’s] exciting and empowering,” he candidly replied. “I didn’t anticipate the community there. Walls come down and people tend to speak more freely. I chat directly with all of my ‘fans.’ I’ve learned so much from so many.”

Lehnhoff, an interior designer who used to show off his artistic skills on Flipping Out, joined the subscription platform in 2023.

“I launched my OnlyFans today. Come say hi, I’ll keep it fun there,” he wrote via Instagram in September 2023.

Lehnhoff has continued to work as an interior designer and architect despite his newfound career, further clapping back at any judgment of still doing both.

“If someone judges it, I just don’t think they really get it,” Lehnhoff wrote in a follow-up Instagram Story post on Thursday. “It’s one thing if it isn’t for them, but to judge, it seems closed-minded.”

He added, “I’d say most of us all do it, I’m just sharing some of my experiences and from my POV. I know wayyyy too many colleagues who I respect that like and support it — and that easily outweighs those who judge.”

Despite Lehnhoff being open on OnlyFans, he is still “pretty reserved” in his daily life.

“I keep to myself a lot and I am always observing,” he wrote later on Thursday. “When I say something, I mean it and I’m thoughtful about what I say to people [who] are close to me. I keep my circle small because each person in it, I try to give my all and I never want to compromise myself with people [who] are dear to me. So, I am proud about how I show my love to the people I love.”
