An OnlyFans model claims she was fired from her marketing job after her boss discovered her account – and believes a colleague dobbed her in.
Annabelle Knight, 25, from Brisbane, Australia, says she was given marching orders after less than a week in a new role, when one of her colleagues reportedly found her on the X-rated site and spilled the beans.
The former marketing manager started her OnlyFans in September 2020, in a bid to save money to buy a house but had never expected it to fly off in the way it did.
Within a month Annabelle made thousands of pounds, and continued to use it for the next 18 months as a side project to her full-time job, averaging £1,000-a-month.
She now makes around £540 a day sharing saucy photos of herself online.
“I am pleased to [have been fired] an extent, I’m a lot happier now and have a lot more freedom,” Annabelle told Jam Press.
“I’m earning a considerable amount more now than I was at the other job.
“The morning of the firing I was asked if I had any other side businesses and I said no, assuming she [my manager] meant retail side businesses that were tax deductible.
“I also couldn’t think of how she’d found my OnlyFans as at that stage it was completely unsearchable and I’d capped my fans at around 1,000 where they’d been sitting for about a year.
“I was sent an email giving me an opportunity to explain myself.
“They’d written all the reasons why they thought I deserved to have my position terminated.
“I couldn’t believe it.”
According to Annabelle, the reasons for her firing were three-fold, including publishing content to a “an online site with pornographic images”, as well as conducting a business with approval from her employer and “falsely advising” that she had no side gigs.
The model believes one of her colleagues was also a subscriber and is the one to have let the cat out of the bag, having shown her boss the X-rated snaps.
Hours after her meeting, Annabelle claims she was sent an email telling her she was being let go.
Annabelle said: “I didn’t promote my OnlyFans anywhere so I can only assume that someone at my work was subscribed to my OnlyFans and sent the evidence in to my boss.
“It made me furious that someone at the company who subscribed to my page then re-shared my content.
“A simple conversation would have sufficed.
“I am well-aware of what I have posted and didn’t need it to be re–shared.”
Despite the uncomfortable situation and being fired, Annabelle has now got her own back.
In her marketing job, she made $88,000 a year (approx £48,000) – now she rakes in up to $30,000 a week (approx £16,350).
And she only puts in around six hours a day.
The model recently uploaded a video to TikTok explaining her controversial firing, which racked up 215,000 views before it was deleted.
She has since reshared the video and has received criticism for social media users.
One TikToker commented: “Get a real job.”
A second social media user said: “I hope you’re seeking mental health assistance for all the hate you’re receiving and to help you with being a narcissistic person.”
The comment prompted a reply from Annabelle which said: “I’m not narcissistic AT ALL. I’m the most selfless, generous, caring person which you wouldn’t know because you don’t know me. [sic]”
Someone else commented: “Great role model for other girls not. sux shit [sic].”
