Sophie Rain, one of the highest-earning creators on OnlyFans, is getting candid about the emotional weight that comes with her success on the platform.
“Making millions of dollars a month is an incredible opportunity that I am extremely grateful for,” Rain said in a video shared with her followers on TikTok on Wednesday.
“But I do think it’s just as important to talk about the downsides and the real effects that this industry has on a person.”
Rain, who built a massive following on the subscription platform, said her journey hasn’t been the norm.
“There are very few creators on here that have actually made this kind of money. I got extremely lucky,” she explained.
“This career is not a guaranteed path to success. Unless you already have a massive following, it is incredibly difficult to make life-changing money from doing this.”
While she’s hit major financial milestones over the past two years, Rain said those wins have come with serious consequences for her safety and mental health.
In the video, she revealed that she’s been stalked and has had to file multiple police reports and restraining orders.
“The private life that I thought I could keep outside of social media is getting harder and harder to protect every single day,” she said. “I’ve also had a break-in that forced me to increase my personal security.”
She also touched on the permanent nature of online content.
“Images of my body are gonna be online forever,” Rain said. “Something I can never undo or take away, no matter how my life changes in the future.”
Rain didn’t shy away from addressing the judgment and stigma that come with her line of work.
“People will constantly judge and pick apart every decision you make,” she said. “Sometimes the hardest part is staying silent because you realize that no matter what you say, some people will just never respect your thoughts or opinions because of what you do for a living.”
Despite everything, Rain said she remains thankful for the doors her career has opened.
“This industry comes with real risks, emotionally, mentally, and physically,” she said.
“It’s not something you guys can just jump into without serious research and understanding of what the long-term consequences are.”
