The feisty femme fatale was busted last April for fighting in public and hit with a disorderly conduct charge. U.S. Thanksgiving saw her back in the slammer for shoplifting.
Because of her newfound fame, the single mom was able sell sexxx-rated snapshots and videos of herself, bringing in a whopping $24,000 the first week.
“Really it turned out for the best, I suppose,” she told the tabloid. “I was really depressed right before the arrest and didn’t even log on (to OnlyFans) for a good while.
“Then I made $24,000 in a week after getting out of jail, just from customers adding my Snapchat, Twitter and OnlyFans.”

“I’m a recovering heroin addict. I’m six years sober and after the miscarriage I was going down a dark path of depression. I have BPD (borderline personality disorder) and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and wasn’t on my meds, so I wasn’t myself.
“I was going through a lot at the time. I just had a miscarriage and was not myself — I was a whole mess,” she told the Daily Mail. “Honestly, going to jail didn’t just help me financially, it also saved my life in a way.”
The boffo bucks and newfound fame may have saved her life, she said.

“I’m very blessed it happened. Most people don’t get second chances, and I’m probably on my 10th chance by now, so it’s really a blessing how it all worked out,” she said.
She is now living in Augusta, Ga., with her child and fiance.
“I was in jail through Thanksgiving and spent four days in jail all up. I just got probation for it. They weren’t very serious charges at all, which makes the whole thing so crazy to me,” she told the Mail.
“I’ve always wanted to do something TV-wise. My friends have always asked me to get on Baddies (reality TV show]. I would love that.”
