Influencer Michael Duvall has responded to the “hate” he’s been getting for making OnlyFans content while he worked at a day care. In a video shared on March 30, 2025, the 25-year-old explained that when he “was working as a preschool teacher, technically pre-kindergarten,” he “had a lot of free time at work.” During that “free time,” he would sometimes go to the bathroom and “snap a nude.”
“I posted hundreds, if not thousands of times a day, and so many Reddit pages, on my OnlyFans, on my Twitter, just stuff like that,” he said in the video.
The influencer admitted that he was motivated by money at the time.
“A lot of the reason why I did that is because I was getting paid by people,” Michael said in the video shared on TikTok. “When I said that, people thought I was getting paid by [pedophiles]. People thought I was catering to them.”
Though the influencer admitted that there was “no excuse” for what he did, he said he was “blinded by the money that was coming” in.
“Fast forward to the day I took my first nude at work,” he continued in the video. “I honestly don’t remember it, but I do remember that I would get paid like $45 to take a picture. They’d say, ‘Go take it,’ and I would.”
He clarified that he was not ‘clocked in’ when he did this.
Michael also said that he would take these photos in the bathroom upstairs, which was “far away from everyone” and for the teachers, not children. The classrooms were located downstairs.
Though he reiterated that there’s “definitely no excuse” and it was “gross,” he said people have assumed he was “doing stuff that I wasn’t doing just because it was at a day care.”
He explained that the content was not about his workplace, and would’ve happened regardless of where he worked. “Where it was had nothing to do with what I was doing or what I was putting out or the people I was talking to,” he said. “Those people did not know where I worked.”
At the same time, elsewhere in the video, he said, “If I was working at a movie theater, [it] still would have happened there. Instead, it just so happened to be at the day care, which makes everything so much more worse.”
The posts have been removed.
Michael also claimed that he had forgotten about the content he had made at the day care until it resurfaced. “People are saying that I’m still getting paid for those posts … but I’m not, I took them down already,” he said. “There’s no reason or excuse. I should have waited until I got home. I guess I was just too focused on the money, and at that time, I hadn’t started my social media career.”
He apologized, but many people were not impressed.

Toward the end of the 10-minute video, the influencer said, “I promise you, no kids were ever involved. What I did in that bathroom had nothing to do [with] the building I was in. I know I let a lot of people down, and the people I let down the most is mothers and people with kids and people who thought they could trust me and knew who I was. I just wanted to say I’m truly sorry.”
However, to many of his followers, the apology and explanation fell short of their expectations. One person accused Michael of “only addressing it because people found out.”
Some people were also unconvinced by some of the influencer’s claims. “‘People thought I was catering to them,'” another person wrote. “You WERE catering to them ..??!!!!?”
“I am so outraged that I feel physically nauseous,” a third person commented. A fourth person wrote, “I don’t think he realizes how serious this is.”
