Goodbye Nickelodeon and hello adulthood!
Former child star Madisyn Shipman has left the days of being a clean-cut actress behind and has now joined the Playboy creator platform.
The “Game Shakers” alum, 20, got candid with Fox News about her new venture and why she decided to take a leap by sharing sexy snaps on the program.
“I always said, especially to my fans, that I was never going to join a paid creator platform because I didn’t want to show my body,” she said.
However, she realized that Playboy was not just stripping down to your birthday suit.
Shipman found out that the move was actually more about self-expression and feeling comfortable in her body.
On the app, she often shares curated photoshoots where she rocks lingerie and bikinis.
“My fans love it,” she said. “And it just goes to show you that you don’t have to show your body to make money and to make this a lucrative thing for you.”
Shipman portrayed Kenzie Bell in “Game Shakers” from 2015 to 2019 and has since gone on a self-funded music career.
She noted that Playboy has allowed her to have “financial freedom,” own a home and work on her music.
The “Whisker Haven” star also confessed how the publication has let her “reclaim her sexuality” and feels “empowered” to “feel great in my skin.”
But Shipman admitted that being on the kiddie network during her formative teen years gave her a “sense of repression in terms of my sexuality and showing my body.”
She continued: “And I think a lot of that is because I grew up on a Nickelodeon show. You’re taught that you can’t wear crop top. You can’t show too much skin. You’ve got to be presented as a little girl constantly. And whenever that ends, I had a little bit of an identity crisis because I didn’t know who I was.”
Shipman then joked about the wild and “odd” requests she gets on the digital hub from fans — including “certain kinds of fetishes.”
While she’s open to some kinky acts, she doesn’t “entertain the ones that I’m not comfortable with just because there’s no sense in me stepping out of who I am as a person.”
Shipman also pointed out that people on the site “are just seeking a connection with” her and they have “so many opinions of who I am as a person because they grew up watching me on TV.”
On the Playboy platform, people can pay creators for exclusive photos, video and other messaging features.
