OnlyFans Star G Baby Claims Starbucks Job Loss Sparked Her Overnight Fame

Life can flip in an instant, and for OnlyFans star G Baby, it all started with a pink slip.

The viral model says losing her Starbucks job, which once felt like a disaster, actually launched her into fame, fortune, and freedom.

Now she entertains millions online, turning coffee-shop memories into comedy and success on her own terms.

In a chat with The Blast, G Baby opened up about losing her job at Starbucks.

“I got fired from Starbucks, and it was the best thing that ever happened to me,” G Baby, whose real name is Grace, admitted. “At the time I thought my life was falling apart, but it set me up for everything that came after.”

That turning point sent her straight into the digital spotlight. She created an OnlyFans account, unsure if she could stand out in such a saturated space. However, with grit and consistency, she transformed uncertainty into explosive growth.

“It started with a couple of posts here and there,” she explained. “Then I realized people were responding to me, not just the pictures. They wanted to connect, and that’s when things really took off.”

Her personal approach to fans became her trademark. “I love all my fans, and I value them equally - they have done so much for me,” she added.

That loyalty, paired with her work ethic, turned casual posting into a full-fledged career.

The leap paid off beyond what she ever imagined.

“I never thought I’d make this kind of money,” she said. “I used to stress about rent, about bills. Now I’m building savings and looking at investments. It’s a completely different world.”

She emphasizes that her success comes with long hours and serious commitment.

“You have to treat it seriously,” she said. “It’s not posting once in a while and waiting for money to show up. You’re creating, editing, promoting, and interacting every single day. It’s work.”

G Baby's entrepreneurial drive separates her from critics who dismiss online creators.

“I know people judge,” she said. “But I’m proud of what I’ve built. I own my brand, I set my schedule, and I decide what’s right for me. No boss can take that away.”

Looking back, G baby views Starbucks as both her ending and her beginning.

“If they hadn’t fired me, maybe I’d still be making lattes,” she said. “Instead, I’m making a living that I control. That’s freedom.”

Rather than hide her past, she spins it into viral comedy. G Baby often shares skits poking fun at her days as a barista. One of her biggest hits featured her serving pink drinks in the rain, captioned “yk what else is pink,” which racked up over 1.8 million likes on Instagram.

From brewing coffee to brewing buzz, G Baby proves setbacks can spark transformation.

Fired once, she now fires up a global fanbase and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

G Baby's revelations come after Starbucks announced a $1 billion restructuring plan that will shutter about 1% of its North American company-operated stores in fiscal 2025, equal to roughly 500 locations.

Alongside the closures, about 900 non-retail employees will lose their jobs. The company expects to incur approximately $150 million in separation costs and around $850 million in restructuring charges.

CEO Brian Niccol explained the cuts as part of the company’s “Back to Starbucks” transformation, noting some stores could not meet customer or financial expectations.

“These steps are to reinforce what we see is working and prioritize our resources against them,” Niccol wrote per CNBC to staff, emphasizing the goal of creating a “better, stronger, and more resilient Starbucks.”

Despite the closures, Starbucks plans to end fiscal 2025 with nearly 18,300 locations across North America and resume expansion in 2026.

Executives are prioritizing remodeled cafes to restore the chain’s “third place” appeal, encouraging customers to linger outside of work and home.

Baristas at shuttered stores will be transferred or offered severance. Starbucks Workers United stated that it intends to negotiate for placements at alternative locations.

Shares dipped less than 1% following the announcement and remain down more than 8% this year.

Niccol has also restructured his leadership team and is requiring corporate employees to return to the office four days a week.
