I had an accidental affair with my best friend’s husband – now she won’t talk to me
A young mother felt guilty and betrayed after discovering she was having an ‘accidental’ online affair with her best friend’s husband.
Dear Brooksfrom Victoria, Australia, was “gutted” to discover that one of her anonymous social media subscribers was indeed married to her boyfriend – and that she had met him in person several times.
The man subscribed to her adult page six months ago and spent thousands of dollars on her exclusive content, even signing up for her $3,700-a-week “girlfriend package.”
Honeyy told FEMAIL that her friend found out about her husband’s secret through his phone and has since cut off all contact with her.
“On one hand I felt abused by one of my male friends, but on the other hand I felt heartbroken because I lost one of my best friends,” she said.

Honeyy makes up to $90,000 a month on OnlyFans, so didn’t think anything of it when she got another big-spending subscriber six months ago.
She said subscribers, or “subs,” are often anonymous and creators don’t have access to personal or identifying details.
‘We can’t see any information about them. All we get is a username and they can choose whatever username they (want) to have,” she explained.
‘We don’t see other people’s faces unless they send you a selfie, but it’s so common for subscribers not to do that. Many of them remain anonymous.’
Honeyy said the subscriber, who turned out to be her friend’s husband, quickly bought all her content and was online every night messaging her.
“By the three-month stage, he had purchased everything I offered on my page, so he wanted a more personalized experience,” she explained.

On top of his subscription fee, the man started paying an extra US$2,500 (AU$3,797) every week for Honeyy’s ‘girlfriend package’, which includes priority messaging and one-way video calls.
‘It’s basically like an online girlfriend; I’m yours for the week,” she said.
‘With the video calls it’s like a live show, they only see you. It’s like tuning into TikTok live and being able to comment and interact, but the person who’s live can’t see the people listening. That’s how it is, but one-on-one.’
Honeyy said subscribers normally only purchase the girlfriend package for a week or a month; however, this man continued to pay for three months.
She messaged the anonymous man every day, until one day he seemingly ‘disappeared’.
Last Tuesday, Honeyy was on holiday in Sydney and sleeping in after a night out when she woke up to a series of messages and missed calls from one of her best friends.
On top of his subscription fee, the man started paying US$2,500 (AU$3,797) every week for Honeyy’s ‘girlfriend package’, which included priority messages and one-way video calls.
“She tried to call me non-stop and then sent me a message like, ‘Pick up, pick up, it’s about my husband,’” she said.
‘I read the messages (and) thought, “Oh my god! Something bad happened”, but the more I read it became about him being on my OnlyFans.’
Honeyy called her friend, who was “beside herself,” and explained her side of the story.
‘When I heard her voice I realized how serious it was and my heart just dropped. I asked, “Are you sure he subscribed to my page this way? Is this real?” she said.
“It was just such a shock to the system because we’ve been such good friends for so long. It actually seemed like an online thing, so it looked like a pile of bricks.”
Her friend, who knew about Honeyy’s daring hustle, believed her and arranged a coffee to talk about it when the mother returned from her trip.

However, the next day she “completely turned around” after her husband lied and convinced her that Honeyy knew it was him all along.
“She didn’t answer my calls. I started to worry because a big bomb had just hit. I kept messaging her and she wrote back, “I don’t think we should continue our friendship,” Honeyy said.
“She wouldn’t talk to me, but from the details I got from her, he said I knew who he was the whole time, it was pre-planned and we actually planned to get together.”
Honeyy said she doesn’t think she’ll be able to rekindle the friendship again.
“The fact that they’re still together, I don’t think that dynamic will ever continue. “I am blocked from everything,” she said.
‘Once a cheater, always a cheater, and I’m sure he’ll show his true colors again. Maybe she’ll come around once he’s out of her life.’
