Shannon Elizabeth has reportedly earned "more than seven figures" in her first week on OnlyFans.

The American Pie star recently launched her own account on the adult subscription site - which enables content creators to monetise their posts, be it photos and videos - and revealed she wants to show off her "sexy side" and connect with fans.

A source has told PEOPLE magazine that after launching her page on April 16 she has brought in "more than seven figures".

The insider added that the 52-year-old star "is really making a name for herself" on the platform, while it's noted her content does not include full nudity.

The source said: "She is super happy she now gets to take control and be engaged with her fans."

The description for Shannon's account promises that fans will discover what she's "really like".

The intro reads: "Here you'll find the side of me that doesn't make it into movies -- more playful, spontaneous, and completely unscripted.

"If you've ever been curious what I'm really like… You're about to find out."

Shannon recently told PEOPLE that she wanted to take back control of the "narrative" around her.

She explained: "I've spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career.

"This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a more sexy side no one has seen, and being closer to my fans."

OnlyFans will allow the star to easily connect with her audience and legion of fans.

She continued: "I'm choosing OnlyFans because it allows me to connect directly with my audience, create on my own terms, and just be free. I really do think this is the future."

Shannon shot to fame playing the highly attractive foreign exchange student Nadia in the 1999 comedy film American Pie, in which a group of high school pals try to lose their virginity before graduation.

And the actress - who reprised her alter ego for the sequel in 2001 - was thrilled to be cast in the Paul Weitz-directed movie after a tough audition process.

Shannon recently recalled to Fox News Digital: "The audition process for 'American Pie' was difficult. I was scared. I was really scared. And in the audition, it was the opposite of what you saw in the movie. I had to dance for Jason [Biggs] instead of him dancing for me.

"I'd never done anything that big. But I was auditioning a lot at the time, and I was so excited when I got the role."

Shannon said the role was easy to play as she's "done so much modelling" at that point.

However, Shannon is not always "super comfortable" in her own skin, and she tends to be "quite a shy person" unless she needs to "flip a switch" for a certain role.

And Nadia - who had a big crush on Jim Levenstein (Jason) - was very different to Shannon's real life personality.

She told Entertainment Tonight: "For me, it was a role, it was playing a character. But even in my real life, I'm just not the girl who likes to be naked, ever.

"Even at home, I'm always covered up. Like I have friends that sleep in the nude, and they don't mind walking around that way. That was never me, but because that was kind of my coming out, everyone assumed I was that girl."

Meanwhile, after launching her OnlyFans, Shannon confirmed she is no longer in relationship with Simon Borchert - who she married in 2021 after six years together - having separated several months ago.

Shannon told Us Weekly magazine: "I've been separated since September of last year, and this has been a thoughtful, ongoing process-not something that happened in the past few days.

"The meaningful pieces are already behind me, and only the formalities remain... This is a new chapter for me, and it's one I'm genuinely excited about. I feel stronger, clearer, and happier than I have in a very long time."
