"I think it's a stamp on OnlyFans that it's only for adult content, and I don't think it's that," Wheeler told Fox News Digital, adding that she is using it to show workout content, "family time," and behind-the-scenes moments of the WNBA season.

"I want to be one of the ones to show the world that it's not just about adult content."

Wheeler, 34, said she has "absolutely not" received any negative feedback from fans for her decision to partner with the platform. 

However, she does have a message ready for any fan who does take issue with the decision.

"I would ask them, 'What they doing in their personal life?'" Wheeler said. 

"Like, who are you to ask me what I do in my personal life? What I do shouldn't amount to anything that another human being has going on. Half the time, these fans are sitting on they couch, watching TV, doing nothing with themselves, probably making 50 to 60,000 a year. Why should I care about their opinions? It means nothing to me."
