Ainett Stephens and her OnlyFans: the Venezuelan "Gatta Nera" of Italian TV who joined the platform

Does Ainett Stephens have OnlyFans?

Yes. Ainett Stephens, the Venezuelan model who became famous on Italian television, opened an OnlyFans account (nicknamed the “página azul,” or blue page, in Latin America) in late October 2022. The news was reported at the time by the sports daily Corriere dello Sport and the newspaper Libero, and the former said the subscription cost 15 dollars a month. We have found no later reports that she has closed it.

Who is Ainett Stephens?

She was born in Venezuela in 1982 and has lived in Italy for more than twenty years, where audiences remember her above all as the “Gatta Nera” (Black Cat), the character she played on the game show Mercante in Fiera alongside host Pino Insegno. According to Today.it, which summarized a long interview she gave to Corriere della Sera in 2026, she arrived in the country in 2004: she lived first in Verona and later moved to Rome.

Her move into television was almost accidental. She said she worked as an on-screen assistant for a single episode of a Teo Mammucari show, that the director liked how quickly she answered and that this led to an audition for Real TV. The success of that program soon took her to Mercante in Fiera. Years later she returned to TV as a contestant on Grande Fratello Vip, Italy's celebrity Big Brother, as both Corriere dello Sport and Libero point out.

In 2015 she married businessman Nicola Radici, with whom she has a son; they are now separated and, she says, remain on good terms. In the same interview she said she dreams of becoming an investigative journalist.

How she joined OnlyFans

The announcement came after she had been away from TV studios for a while, Libero noted, describing her at the time as a 40-year-old who had lived in Italy for many years. Her welcome message opened with a Spanish “Bienvenidos” and promised subscribers exclusive, private photos of herself, according to Corriere dello Sport. She also warned that what she shared at first was only a preview of what was to come.

The same daily put the subscription price at 15 dollars a month. Libero framed her decision as part of a trend: more and more Italian reality-show and social media personalities are turning to paid platforms like this one to connect with their audience. Her case recalls that of fellow Venezuelan Aída Yéspica, who also appeared on Grande Fratello Vip and opened her own profile the following year.

The dispute with Pino Insegno

In July 2023, when the Italian broadcaster Rai announced the return of Mercante in Fiera, Pino Insegno said they were looking for a new “Gatta Nera” because Ainett had become “a bit older” and many years had gone by, the magazine Oggi reported. She, then 41, replied that it hurt to see that some people still think a 40-year-old woman is old, and she asked him for a public apology.
