You may think the life of a successful OnlyFans model is relatively stress free.
Many women have described making fortunes just by taking raunchy snaps from the comfort of their bedrooms.
The venture has even allowed some to ditch their more strenuous traditional jobs to become wealthy self-employed individuals who can splash out on new homes and swanky cars.

Despite the upsides, the trolling levelled at the sex workers mentioned here has been unabating, with some left feeling suicidal.
Below, we hear from some of the models who have opened up about the abuse they have received.
Michelle Hardenbrook
Michelle Hardenbrook – who calls herself the “GILF of your dreams” – is often targeted online by bullies who shame her for stripping off aged 70.
The mum-of-two, from Louisiana, US, flogs raunchy snaps to provide for her 48-year-old son who is disabled.
But despite grafting to support her loved ones, keyboard bullies have tried to bring her down.
Remembering one recent comment, she told the Daily Star: “It read, ‘what a saggy human waste of space this female is’.
“What would even possess someone to post a comment like that? You can’t live your life without saying something mean to somebody? Didn’t your mother ever tell you if you don’t have anything positive to say then keep your mouth shut.”
Michelle, a former secretary who joined OnlyFans in January 2020, added: “It’s OK to think what you want to think, nobody has a right to govern your thoughts. But you should have an internal editor that stops you posting mean things like that.
“So when I get a comment like that I reply and point out that it serves no purpose other than to be mean. It shows more about them than it does me.”
Anisa
Scottish sensation Anisa has been brutally affected by trolling – and she revealed just how rancid it gets.
The former barmaid said she wakes up to daily death threats with one low-life telling her to “die in a gas chamber”.
Speaking with the Daily Record, she said: “Online trolls regularly terrorise me to the point where I end up with suicidal thoughts.
"Sometimes I can't get out of my bed for crying. On social media, it can sometimes feel like the whole world is against you.
"Most days I wake up and there are so many nasty comments on my social media platforms, it's all to do with me choosing to make an income from Only Fans or slagging off the way I look."
The 25-year-old, who has almost 80,000 Instagram followers, added: "When I decided to start an account with Only Fans, I knew I would need to put myself out there.
"But I don't think anyone should be treated like this for making a choice about their line of work.”
Renee Gracie
Motorsport star turned adult entertainer Renee Gracie used to flip Big Macs to fund her racing career before leaving it all behind to sell racy snaps instead.
The 27-year-old Brisbane babe is now a self-made millionaire who has built a property empire.
But the trolling she has endured is horrific, with one person telling her to hang herself.
Speaking exclusively with Daily Star Sport, she said: “From very early on I've had fans walk up to me and say they wish I was dead.
"That I should go hang myself because I'm so bad, and I should just go jump off a cliff because I'm not good at anything else and I'm not even good at racing. I've had beer cans thrown at me, people make all sorts of comments as they walk by me.
"You name it, sexual harassment that could possibly be thrown at a woman in a male-dominated industry, I've heard it before."
Cherry The Mistress
Cherry The Mistress is now regarded as the “hairy sex worker” after going two years without shaving.
The 20-year-old American, who also does not bother with deodorant, quit her job as a coffee barista and dropped out of uni to focus on OnlyFans instead.
And you know what’s coming next, despite her success, there have been downsides.
Speaking with the Daily Star, she said: “On social media, I get all kinds of hate comments daily.
“They can range from ‘Shave that s***’, ‘Chewbacca’, ‘Nasty’, ‘You must be a man’, ‘You need a razor’ and the infamous ‘You’re going to die alone'.
“The internet does not hold back, especially if you’re a woman going against western beauty standards.”
Jenny Davies
Jenny Davies is a former Hyundai receptionist who became a millionaire after joining OnlyFans – even splashing out on a green Lamborghini.
But not everyone was pleased with her rags to riches story, particularly one troll who wanted the Devon beauty, who grew up on a council estate, to never be able to have children.
Speaking with the Daily Star, the 29-year-old, who described being petrified after getting death threats, said: “I remember someone saying I needed my womb removed so I could never have children.
“Another time a man threatened me and he managed to find out the area I lived in which was pretty small at the time.
“I was fearing for my life which wasn’t great because he was saying he was going to find out where my mum and nan lived and it was awful because they basically said they would come find us and kill us.
“The death threats used to be two or three times a day, especially when we had our Facebook page.”
Courtney Tillia
Courtney Tillia became infamous after ditching her job as a teacher to autistic kids to get her kit off on OnlyFans.
She went on to bank around £75,000 a month on the saucy site.
And although she herself has been trolled, her kids have also been targeted, something Courtney described as “completely and totally unacceptable”.
She told the Daily Star: “I understand that what’s directed at me somewhat comes with the territory, but with recent videos coming out that include my family, I’ve heard about some pretty awful comments about my kids.
“When there is a news article that comes out, the comments can be pretty nasty. From making generalised statements about ‘girls like me who are selling their bodies’ to very specific and mean comments.
“Calling me a horrible mum, saying I’m selfish, critiquing my body and saying that I sold out my students to make a quick buck.”
