EXCLUSIVE: Courtney Tillia, a former teacher from the US, grew up in a strict Christian household and claims she quit her job to become a porn star because “God told her to”
A former teacher who quit her job to become a porn star claims "God told her to do it".
Courtney Tillia, who is known for sharing racy snaps and videos on her social media and OnlyFans, was raised in a religious household.
She was conditioned to be a “good Christian girl” – something she said that ultimately restricted her.
Courtney became a school teacher for autistic children at a Catholic school but was never truly happy in her low-paid career.

Eventually, the 36-year-old from Los Angeles, traded the school books for a career in the adult entertainment industry with encouragement from her husband Nick Tillia.
But her hubby wasn't the only one to persuade her to pursue the more saucy path,≠ as she claims God himself had a say in it too.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Courtney said: "Before I left teaching, I felt super disconnected from myself and also God! I didn’t know what my life’s purpose was or how I was meant to help others.
"When I started connecting to myself and to God in a different way than what I had been taught in church, I kept hearing and feeling the nudge to help liberate women from their sexual shame.
"I had so much sexual shame of my own at first! I remember being at a photoshoot that had several porn stars, and I was so triggered. I could feel the judgments that society and religion had instilled in me and I was very aware of it.
"That part of me felt like their sexual choices and expression were wrong and immoral. I even felt wrong by the association in that moment – but that didn’t feel like God telling me to feel that way."
She suggested society taught her to feel that way but felt "lied to" with her more liberated life leaving her feeling "holy and sacred".
Courtney decided to make it her mission to liberate those who believe it's God's plan for them to have sexual shame as she believes he chose her to do that.
"God’s message has been abundantly clear: I’m here to be a PORN STAR. This is my way of serving," she explained.
"I’m showing others that pleasure and our sexual expression – even in porn and sex work – aren’t meant to contradict God or exist separately from God. They are unified with God and holy.
"I’m living my life as an example of being fully out in the open and unapologetically expressed: not against God, but completely with God."
Since quitting her teaching job, Tillia rakes in between $20,000 (£14,500) and $100,000 (£72,900) every month from her 18,000 loyal subscribers, often shares racy clips on TikTok and Instagram in an array of different lingerie.
In all of her success and fame, the former teacher claims she is more connected with her faith than she has ever been – despite what people say about her career.

She added: "I am the most connected to God that I have ever been, while also being the least religious I’ve ever been. I don’t need an organization or institution to tell me who God is or how to go about my relationship with God.
"I now reject any teaching or institutions that depicts God as an entity to be feared or to be judged by. God is loving, not fearful; and accepting, not judgmental.
"I believe God is experiencing itself intentionally through us in these unique, physical incarnations. We are not meant to suppress or deny things like our pleasure and sexual expression. Instead, we’re meant to enjoy and embody them fully, as God has intended."
