Ariana Josephine is a social media influencer from Houston, Texas, known as “Home Depot Girl” who has ignited debate on the Internet about OnlyFans versus other jobs.
She went viral after tweeting a picture showing her in a Home Depot uniform and writing that some people believe she is too pretty to work at Home Depot, but she would never create an OnlyFans page. She also frequently shares messages about Christian faith on social media.
This has caused some to criticize her. One woman wrote, “Someone just brought up an amazing point regarding the Home Depot girl. She and the majority of the men egging on her find sex work dehumanizing and exploitative. Although she’s fine with Home Depot exploiting her for $10/hr because it’s the ‘right way’ to earn money. Which I find hilarious.” It’s also started a trend of people sharing pictures of themselves in work uniforms.
Others have praised “Home Depot Girl.”
A man tweeted, “I know shawty a good woman… she coulda made an onlyfans but she got a real job and it’s an honest living.”
Ariana Josephine, whose last name is not clear, has 119,000 followers on Instagram. “Faith | Fashion | Lifestyle | Beauty University of Houston,” her Instagram profile reads.

Under the photo, she tweeted, “My new name: Home Depot Girl😎” She then posted a video, writing, “What I want to be known for. 💗” In the video, she discussed letting go of friends who were negatively affecting her relationship with Jesus Christ.

The Root wrote that the Home Depot Girl debate had sparked conversation about misogyny. “‘Home Depot Girl’ shouldn’t be used to tear down sex workers, but in a patriarchal society women cannot exist unless it’s in relation to how they please men and how they compare to other women,” the site wrote.
