A woman who made nearly £500,000 from showing off her hairy armpits has revealed the constant barrage of abuse she recieves online - and how much it's taken its toll on her.

The body positive woman shared how she's raked in nearly half a million pounds from her body hair, although it comes with serious downsides as she's been subject to a flood of abusive messages since starting her side hustle.

Sharing body positive snaps, Fenella Fox from Worcester started posting the raunchy pictures on Instagram and OnlyFans, but she says the constant abuse has given her PTSD from nasty messages from followers and viewers.

Claiming she can make up to £8,200 a month, the 30-year-old enjoys the financial independence it brings and started posting the snaps of her armpits, as she was "fed up" with the beauty standards. She also films general vlogs for her fans and followers. With over a million social media followers, Fenella has been left horrified by some of the responses to her content.

She regularly receives negative comments and has also been a victim of stalking twice. She told Femail: "I've been in the adult industry since I turned 18 (I'm now 30) and I've spent a lot of that time in my bedroom stripping for men. It would be silly to claim that it didn't do some damage. I travel a lot and one of the worst reactions to my job was someone telling me I would be hanged in their country. I have also had men expect me to want to sleep with them because of my job."

'I don't want children staying up late at weekends - I really need adult time'

She added: "I entertain men online for a living but I get anxious around them in person. I'll be brave and get a kiss maybe twice a year - my lack of sex life often comes at the shock to many of my fans."

Her body positive movement came when Fenella decided she would let her body do its natural thing and she shopped shaving, wearing makeup and styling her hair and it gained a lot of traction online. She then became known as a "body positive influencer" online and also sold sultry snaps on her OnlyFans although it greatly affected her mental health.

However she thinks men feel "threatened" by her confidence to "go against the norm" and said that at first, the reaction to her snaps were "mostly negative" but continued to post the photos despite "angering people". Thankfully, now she does get positive comments, she has seen a rise in women sharing their natural bodies online.
