Adult star opens up on disturbing dark side of being in the industry
OnlyFans star Annie Knight has opened up about a disturbing aspect of the adult industry after finding fame online.
Recognised across the industry for sleeping with 300 guys in just 12 months, the 28-year-old was recently asked about the dark side of her profession.
This comes after she hit out at a gigantic tax bill last summer - $592,122.30 AUD (£302,500) to be exact - having earned millions from her content.
"Thankfully, I haven't had any stalkers in person but I have had an online stalker," she told the Daily Star.

"He was in a different country. It's been three years of me constantly blocking him on all platforms. He just makes new accounts and then he contacts me again."
This crazed individual apparently went as far as to reach out to Annie's family and friends, convinced that they were in a relationship with each other.
"There was a point I was really scared about that," she admitted. "I was just worried he was going to fly over and try and find me. It scares me when he sends me a message saying, 'I am going to come here'. That freaks me out."
Asked if she's reported him to the police, Annie confirmed she'd done so but he's essentially protecting himself by remaining overseas.
"There is not a whole lot they can do unless he was to enter Australia. He lives in Europe," she explained. "He messages my friends and says, 'I'm going to come to London'. Please don't. It was really stressing me out a year ago. I was very concerned."
Annie then revealed her social strategy of only posting photos of herself out and about when she's already scarpered from the location.
"I've always been pretty safe online in terms of if I go somewhere. Let's say if I go out for a drink, I don't post about it until I have left the venue," she shared.
"I always have to think about that. You never know who is going to show up because there are a lot of people who hate me."
Unfortunately for the OnlyFans model, the stratospheric success she's found is being weaponised against her fiancé by remorseless corners of the public.
"I have struggled with the way people speak to my partner and the way that they comment on his posts and stuff like that," Annie noted.
"Obviously, at times you can have bad experiences and it can be a bit dangerous."
Previously appearing on Love Don't Judge, Annie argued that there are double standards between the way men and women who have had lots of sex are viewed.
"I'm Annie, people judge me because I slept with 300 people last year but I don't care," she said in a segment on the show. "I've had very mixed reactions to my sleeping with 300 people in a year.
"Some people have been super supportive, like 'go girl, you do you, slay'. And then I've had the majority of people judging me, saying that I'm riddled with STIs. That I'm not safe and that I'm disgusting."
Annie later reflected: "There's definitely a stigma with women being sexual as opposed to men. I think people accept men as being sexual beings, whereas women are seen as non-sexual beings, which is incorrect."
