Lottie Moss, the 27-year-old model known for her candidness and vibrant presence on social media, has declared her exit from the adult content platform OnlyFans, marking a significant turning point in her career. Having joined the platform back in 2021, Moss expressed gratitude for the experience, stating it allowed her to appreciate the strength of women within the sex industry.
"I had a great time. Women in the sex industry should not be underestimated. There are many impressive, strong, cool women there," she reflected recently (reported by Mirror). Her decision to leave OnlyFans is not merely career-based but is deeply intertwined with her personal battles, including struggles with depression and substance abuse.
Previously, Moss opened up about her troubled experiences on the Netflix series 'Celebrity Bear Hunt,' where she faced various challenges far from civilization. The experience, filmed amid the stunning landscapes of Costa Rica, became more than just entertainment; it helped her gain newfound confidence. "I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and show people another side of me," she shared (reported by Mirror).
Moss has often been candid about her turbulent past, especially concerning addiction. Her time on the reality show served as another chapter where she confronted past demons. Just before entering the reality series, Moss recounted breaking down alongside her co-stars, explaining, "I would have run it to the ground to be honest and my mum said, 'You need to go to rehab.'" (reported by The Sun). Her time spent grappling with substance abuse issues, including cocaine, underscored the pressing need to tackle these issues head-on.
Despite the challenges she faced, her past with OnlyFans has provided her opportunities she is thankful for. "If I hadn't chosen to go on OnlyFans, I wouldn't be where I am today. Otherwise, there wouldn't be my podcast, and I wouldn't have been able to participate in 'Celebrity Bear Hunt'," she noted (reported by Mirror). This outlook signals her desire to embrace the future and set new professional goals.
Reflecting on her experiences around the fashion world, Lottie mentioned the pressure and the often unbearable comparisons to her half-sister, supermodel Kate Moss. "There were people giving me drugs when I was very young and so it didn't seem bad to me," she disclosed (reported by The Sun), shedding light on the darker side of her early career. The culture of enablement around her led to her grappling for control as she started using substances as coping mechanisms instead of seeking help.
The relationship with her sister Kate has been complex for Lottie, who has expressed both admiration and frustration over constant comparisons. Over time, she has found peace with this aspect of her identity. Her podcast, 'Dream On With Lottie Moss,' has emerged as her platform to share her story, expressing hopes of inspiring others who might have faced similar trials.
With the modeling industry spiraling and shifting, particularly post-pandemic, Lottie recognizes the importance of mental health and self-esteem. "I am happier than ever before," she declared (reported by Mirror), encapsulating her strong resolution to prioritize her well-being.
Currently, Lottie is embracing her ability to reshape her future without the weight of her past dragging her down. By reframing her career and focusing on new opportunities, she aims to serve as both advocate and inspiration for others dealing with addiction, mental health issues, or the harsh realities of public scrutiny.
Her story resonates far beyond the catwalk, illustrating the nuances of growing up under the spotlight. And as she moves forward, leaving behind her time on OnlyFans, Lottie Moss is not only rewriting her narrative but also reclaiming her identity on her own terms.
