'Double Lives of Suburban Wives' star Heather Boyd unpacks dramatic season with 'VRT'

I think everybody should be able to do what they want to do. I don't think that anyone should be upset because a reality TV star wants to go on and post a picture of themselves and make money off of it. Heather from Double Lives of Suburban Wives, we are so excited to chat with you. This reality show was so insane and so fascinating. After it's all said and done, watching it, watching the viewers watch it, how are you feeling about doing the show? Well, first off, can I fangirl for a quick minute? Stop. I just wanted to say, please, I wanted to say I'm so excited to be here because this is one of the podcasts that I had hoped that I would make it on when I did the show. I listen to your guys' podcast every day, driving back and forth from my corporate job, and it's so funny because my friends would watch Love Island, and I never had the time, but I knew exactly what was going on because of you guys. Oh my! Oh my gosh, wait, stop! That means a lot. That is so sweet. Honestly, thank you for that. Yeah, you guys bring it up so well. And also that you still listen to us even after you got fired from the corporate job. That you didn't have to drive to anymore. Oh, wow. Well, I'm glad we can make the drives more enjoyable. But also now you are a reality TV star, so you are part of the virtual reality world. So how does that feel? Is it crazy? It's exciting, but what is even crazier is my hometown still doesn't even know who I am. Oh wow, but that's kind of nice to have that anonymity still, that's actually kind of a gift to be completely honest. It is, I love it. I can go to the gym, I can go to the grocery store, I don't have people coming up to me, especially you know with the nature of the show, it's kind of a relief. Well I was going to say it's a very nice relief because when we've caught up with some of your other castmates, they've not had that experience and they've had people kind of Come up to them at certain places that I mean we've seen on the show getting kicked out of gyms and everything like that So were you were you kind of prepared for the worst, but now this is kind of better than expected Expected? I was definitely prepared for the worst. I know a lot of my friends had gone through a lot of hard times and I really expected the same and it's not to say it's not to come at some point. I mean there's still time for people to figure it out but I'm very thankful especially the gym because I couldn't I go to the gym every day. I couldn't live my life without the gym. So being kicked out of my gym and we don't have very many gyms around here to choose from either so. That's a big deal. Yeah, I mean, doing OnlyFans and having this be your main source of income, there, of course, is a stigma around it. And like you're saying, it's kind of a relief that some people don't know quite yet about it. How do you feel about being on OnlyFans? Like, do you do you love it? Do you enjoy it? I love it. I've been an OnlyFans girl for seven years now, so it's not new to me. I was on it way before the show, you know, reached out. It's my thing. It was extra income and obviously now it's full income. It makes it a little bit more stressful and difficult but I still enjoy it every day. And I'd love to, I know you said this is how your story with it started and some of your other castmates have as well, that it kind of came from a place of at first low self-esteem where you kind of were feeling a certain way about your body and I know some of your castmates have opened up about this and then You were kind of seeing this incredible feedback from people engaging with it. But now that your body, like you kind of like it is your job, like do you still have days of low self-esteem or is that kind of just all in the past? I was actually just talking to a fan about this the other day. And for me, it's really all in the past now. Like I said, I've been doing it for seven years. So I feel with my huge fan base that I've had and all the positivity from them. Like I just really feel good about myself all the time. And like I said, I'm in the gym every day. So I work hard on my body. It's not perfect, but I love it. I think I do a great job with it and my fans love it. So My husband loves it. No, I know. It's easy to have a good self-esteem when you look like that because you look incredible. Yeah. And also, did you get highlights? The hair looks so good. This is from prior to the show. I did it right before we started filming, so it just lasted. Okay. Oh, my God. It lasted so long because you guys filmed how many months ago? It's been a while, yeah, so they've lasted a long time. My hair holds color. Yeah, oh my god, it's beautiful. You were saying that you've been on OnlyFans for like seven years now. How do you feel like the platform has evolved over the years? Like, what is the state of OnlyFans in 2026? Do we like where it has gone? Like, is it better? Is it worse? Like, what is going on? It's great that so many people are a part of it now. It's also very, very difficult now. When I started, that was like back in 2019-ish, 18, somewhere around there, there were not quite as many people on the platform. It was a bit newer. Also, COVID, people were at home and they were at home with money. And now it's very oversaturated. And there's nothing wrong with that because, you know, everyone should get the chance to experience it and do what they want to do. But it does make it more difficult for all the creators when there's so many people on the internet. How do you, with the landscape changing and more, I don't wanna say competition, but more creators going into the space, Does it... how do you try to adapt to kind of make sure that your content stays fresh and fun for the people? Is it with community, communicating with your fans, or are you just kind of brainstorming with your husband and everything? much do all of that on my own. But yes, I send out daily DMs and I market myself all day long on all different social sites. Marketing is probably the main thing. Of course, to get fans, you have to market. So all day long I'm marketing, but then I have to keep up with the fans that I get. So all day long I'm in my DMs. I post multiple times a day and I give them that real personalized experience because there's also a lot of bots out there now and AI. Um, so it's really me. I don't have anybody managing my account. That's why I'm exhausted all the time. Um, and you got kids too. You do a lot. I'm curious about that. What do you make of like AI like set like AI porn AI all these things coming into the industry? I mean it makes it really difficult. I don't mind AI to a point, like I know there's some women out there that use a little bit of AI for their content but they still like talk with their fans and things like that and they still show real pictures as well. But for me, it's the bots like there's so many bots on there and bots don't get tired. They can DM every five minutes and stay up all night and we can't do that. So that makes it very hard competition. It's not even with the real women. It's with the bots. Right. And now you are actually engaging with your fans, sending those DMs. I mean, how do you maintain the stamina? How many messages are you sending a day? Multiple. It's all day long with, I mean, I, not every fan that's on there messages me every day. If it did, I don't think I could keep up with that. But yeah, a lot of them do. That's what they're on there for. They really want that personal experience these days. And if you're not going to give it to them, they're going to go somewhere else. And we know a big thing on the show was breaking the news to the mother-in-law. How, which was very dramatic and also very bold and brave of you to openly do that on a reality TV platform. How are the vibes? We are all, yeah, we are all good over here. Oh my gosh! Yes, I am so thankful because, again, I know that's not, you know, with some of the cast, that's not the way it worked out, and I hate that for them. Yeah. I'm just very lucky on the family side of how things turn out for me. Oh, okay, that's beautiful to hear. And you joined the platform in 2019, which was kind of ahead of... The Curve, what inspired you to join the platform back then? Like, what pushed you to do it? Had you been ruminating on the thought? I hadn't. So like I said before, it was the body issues that had us on Twitter. So my husband started the Twitter page with me knowing, not without me knowing. But we posted the picture of my butt and it was like the very next day he came to me and he's like, look at this. You have over a thousand likes on this page, on this page, which are on this picture. Sorry. But back then on Twitter, that was a big deal because Twitter wasn't as evolved as it is now either. So a thousand likes in one night was really good. So I got very excited. I took over the Twitter page instantly, started posting daily, and then somebody reached out to me and was like, Hey, I love your Twitter page. I think you would do really good on OnlyFans and sent me their referral link. And I just went for it. I was like, Why not? We're already posting for free. Yeah. Do you remember your first post like creating it and how it felt to share that? Were you nervous? Very nervous. Yeah, I can only imagine. Yeah, I definitely did not have the confidence when I started that I do now. So it's just not something that I was really used to even taking pictures. So going from taking pictures to posting a whole video of myself. was insane but again it got great feedback which just led to more and more all that positive feedback just kept leading me to go on. I love it and also I love that you and your home is good everyone is in a supportive space like you were saying that's not the case for The rest of your, a lot of the other cast members who, um, from watching, cause obviously being on a reality show, you kind of get to see behind closed doors of some of the other women and their marriages and the inner workings. Is there one couple on the cast in particular that you kind of, or maybe like, oh, I'm happy that's not my home. I don't know that there's anyone that I was like, I'm happy that's not my home. I mean, there's definitely people that I felt really bad for, you know, Macy and her dad. That's a huge deal. I can't imagine something like that happening to me. I did tell my dad before the, like, right before the show aired, and he was very supportive of me. So I'm thankful. But yeah, that one really got to me. I can't imagine. I know they were really close. Have you... Kept up with, have you stayed in touch with her recently? Like, how's she doing? We we kind of just check in every now and then a lot of the cast we just kind of say hey how's it going and things like that. I know me and Megan are really close we talk actually almost every day texting back and forth. Me and Emily we've had a few call few few phone calls every now and then to check in. But yeah I think we all check in on each other and see how we're doing. Is the consensus with the check-ins like is there would there be excitement for a season two? I do think there would be excitement for season two. I definitely think that's something the cast is hopeful for. Okay, us too. Fingers crossed. Yeah, no, please. Because season one was amazing. Thank you, guys. Kind of wondering too, when we've talked to some other cast members, they said that their OnlyFans fans are obsessed with you all on reality TV, because we were kind of like, because you never know with adding something new in, would they love it? Would they be like, what's going on? But their community was obsessed with it. Was your community also? Yes. Yes. They're very obsessed with it. I get questions asked still to this day. And, you know, it stopped airing a while ago. They still ask me questions about the show and they're still hopeful for a season two. So that's exciting. Oh, I love. And I'm wondering, too, because obviously you said that you have listened to us before, which is so fun. Is there a reality TV star you're obsessed with that you think would thrive on OnlyFans? Hmm. I mean there's so many beautiful uh reality tv stars that I'm sure that they would. I don't know any names I could name off the top of my head. I also know that there are a lot of reality tv shows the stars that already are on there. Denise Richards is crushing it on there. What do you think of reality tv stars or just celebrities in general who join OnlyFans but they they don't go the full monty they're just like posting like a semi-seductive Picture, what does that do to the community of creators like yourself? Does it impact you? Do you have a thought, feeling, or opinion about it? I really don't. I think it's great for them. I think everybody should be able to do what they want to do. I don't think that anyone should be upset because a reality TV star wants to go on and post a picture of themselves and make money off of it. I mean, if that's what they want to do, that's what we're all out there doing. So I love it. And before we let you go, I'm kind of wondering for anybody who is listening, who maybe wants to engage or get into the field, do you have any advice for something now as like a seasoned vet, basically? You know what I mean? What advice would you give them? Yeah, so I actually do. I actually just started a mentoring program as well, because I had so much feedback from the show. So many women have reached out in my DMs asking how to get started. And of course, I can't help everybody, but I'd love to help whoever I can. So I did create a mentorship program for a small price. And I have a couple of clients on who I'm helping right now. Um, but. But honestly, for me, if I could give any piece of advice, it's not how to do it. It's just to make sure that it's something that you really want to do. Like, know that it's on the Internet forever. However, Know that, like, as with the reality show, we did get some hate from it. So that's something that could happen. Even if you're not on a show, you're going to get hate for being an OnlyFans girl. So just be ready to deal with it. Hey, they say haters make you famous, so there you go. That's right. Yeah, that's right. Thank you so much for taking the time to chat with us, girls. So good connecting with you. Yeah, thank you. If you're ever in the city, too, let us know. Yeah, stop by. I would love to, yes. Thank you guys so much. Bye, thank you so much. Have a good rest of your day.
