Fenella Fox easily made £8,200/Ksh1.4 million a month from entertaining men online but stopped as some clients were obsessed with the idea of raping, torturing and murdering her for fun.
The 30-year-old British made £500,000/Ksh91 million just from showing off her armpit hair online before she stopped as her hustle took a toll on her mental health.
Fox used to create body-positive photos and videos that show off her hairy armpits, as well as filming general lifestyle vlogs.
The Brit started posting her body hair online because she was fed up with female beauty standards only to realize that many men loved her videos and were willing to pay for her content.
The creator began showing her armpit hair online around six to seven years ago.
“I stopped wearing makeup, stopped styling my hair, stopped shaving and let my body do its natural thing,” she explained. I talked about it a lot online and soon became known as a ‘body positive influencer’,” Fenella Fox told FEMAIL.
“I think at the time there weren’t many doing what I was doing so I really stood out and it was actually really scary,” she added.
However, even though Fox made a fortune by showing off her armpit hair, she suffered catastrophic post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from horrific interactions with viewers.
The influencer has been subject to horrific vitriol and has even been physically cornered by two men who assumed she would have a threesome with them.
“I have also had men expect me to want to sleep with them because of my job,” she said.
The 30-year-old has also been a victim of stalking multiple times.
“A man became obsessed with the idea of raping, torturing and murdering me. Horrific. I also experienced being stalked in person by another man in January this year and get long email essays from another man online regularly,” she recounted.
The content creator admitted that she also finds it difficult to connect with people outside the industry and feels like she has to lie about her job often.
“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,” she said.
Fenella Fox also revealed the difficulties she has with dating.
“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,” she revealed.
In spite of the downsides to her job, the British content creator said there are a lot of pros that came with her work.
“I travel the world, live in luxury accommodation and eat out whenever I like. I have a lot of financial freedom but the job has taken a huge toll on my mental health and they know that,” Fenella Fox admitted.
