AN “IGNORANT” OnlyFans star has been busted for tax fraud after admitting to her crimes in a YouTube video.
Blonde beauty and TV star Megan Desaever, 26, was handed a suspended prison sentence after complaining that she would have to pay too much tax if she was honest about her earnings.
In the shocking video, she foolishly told an interviewer that she did not declare her full income, because “if you report everything correctly, half of it is gone”.
She described the current tax system as “unfair”.
“I was planning to move to Dubai anyway, because my brother is already there, and it’s tax-free there,” she added.
The reality TV star found fame on Temptation Island before turning to modeling.

Her tax blunder almost got her locked up on Tuesday, but instead she was given a 10-month suspended prison sentence.
Desaever earned a whopping £88,377 (€100,000) across 2021 and 2022 through OnlyFans and two other platforms, but hid her online earnings from the taxman.
Instead of declaring the impressive income, she declared herself completely bankrupt in February 2022.
The blonde bombshell is known for showing off her jet-setting lifestyle on Instagram, where she boasts over 300,000 followers.

Her holiday snaps show her posing on boats in swimwear, in far-flung destinations like Dubai, Bali and Ibiza.
After finding fame on the spicy show “Temptation Island”, Desaever underwent several plastic surgeries.
Since then, she has appeared on the cover of Dutch Playboy, wearing nothing but a sun visor, as ‘playmate of the month’.
“I didn’t need much convincing to pose topless,” she said of the shoot.
Prosecutors accused the model of refusing to contribute to society and said she had deliberately chosen not to submit tax returns.
Her lawyer argued that Desaever “was young and administratively ignorant.”
“Those statements on YouTube were unfortunate, but human.”
The judge said the model knew what she was doing by not declaring earnings and handed down the 10-month suspended sentence.

The court in Bruges also ordered the star to pay a fine of £21,280 as well as £57,530 in back taxes during the hearing on November 12.
In April 2024, Desaever was given a separate 10-month suspended sentence for social fraud with Covid-19 support payments.
