A sheriff’s deputy in Florida has stepped down following an inquiry that revealed she operated a controversial online foot fetish account while in uniform.
Brandi Tenlen, a deputy with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, reportedly made $6,000 over 16 months on Feetfinder.com, where she shared explicit content and engaged in sexual activities for payment. According to reports, it appears she filmed at least one video while wearing her official “PBSO Class B” uniform.
In the internal investigation report, one post from Tenlen titled “Removal of stinky boots” showed her taking off her boots and socks, using handcuffs, and prompting viewers to guess her profession. This post fell under categories like “boots, cops, uniforms,” making it accessible to anyone searching for that type of content prior to subscribing.
The sheriff’s office began investigating Tenlen in July 2025, spurred by a tip from another deputy who alleged that Tenlen was producing adult content akin to “OnlyFans” for foot fetish enthusiasts. The reporting deputy also claimed that Tenlen disclosed she was compensated for meeting a man at a hotel in Orlando and performing a sexual act.
An unnamed individual, who featured in several videos, admitted to traveling to Florida to collaborate with Tenlen for content creation on her now-deleted profile, “Girlwithdragonfoottattoo,” although he claimed he wasn’t paid directly.
Tenlen was not discreet about her activities, reportedly discussing her content with coworkers during lunch breaks and even showing off a photo of her tattooed foot. She shared a video highlighting her tattoos, which made it easier for investigators to identify her during the probe.
In one recorded instance, Tenlen allegedly demonstrated kicking a man in a karate uniform “repeatedly in the genitals until he fell down.”
As per the investigation, Tenlen reportedly called in sick for two days and utilized that time to meet with a subscriber who had come from Canada to film content. Investigators found timestamps confirming she was generating content during work hours.
The sheriff’s office stated that “Deputy Brandi Tenlen’s actions were identified, thoroughly investigated, and determined to be a clear violation of department policies and procedures.”
Allegations surfaced that Tenlen breached regulations by failing to obtain written approval from her supervisors for outside work, as well as profiting and meeting with content subscribers. In her statements, Tenlen admitted to creating the content, accepting payment, and acknowledged that she did not seek permission for her off-duty activities.
Following news of the investigation, she deleted her account. Internal Affairs concluded that Tenlen had committed several policy violations, including misconduct, misuse of sick leave, unauthorized outside employment, and inappropriate presence on social media.
