Sophie Rain, one of OnlyFans’ most financially successful creators, has opened up about the emotional toll of being a creator 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 followers in a TikTok video posted 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 gained a large following on the subscription platform, said her experience has been far from typical. "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 financial milestones were met over the past two years, Rain said they came at the cost of her safety and mental health. In the video, she claimed she has been stalked, filing 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 acknowledged that the permanent nature of digital content, including
"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."
The influencer also spoke about the judgment and stigma she faces.
"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 the setbacks, Rain expressed gratitude for the opportunities her career has brought. "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."
