A woman says she lost her family and friends after joining OnlyFans.
Lucy Banks, from Perth, Australia, has been on the subscription platform for the past four years, and it's proven to be a massive success.
Since setting up her account, the mom-of-two has been raking in the cash, becoming a millionaire in that time. Which ain't too shabby.
However, despite becoming cash rich, Lucy claims that not everyone has been so supportive of her move.

Speaking to Mama Mia, she explained that she'd actually fallen out with a few of her family and friends, who didn't agree with her decision to joining the racy site.
"I come from a small town and everyone found out I did OnlyFans. Everyone wanted to have a sticky beak," she said.
"I fell out with my entire friend group. I felt so bad but another side that kicked in and told me, 'You have not personally done anything to those people. You're still the same person'."
Lucy said that she decided to take the leap in order to look after her young kids.
"I'm trying to build a future for my boys and that kept me going," she claimed.
And with a few hundred subscribers to her account, she can earn up to $3,000 a day from offering a 'girlfriend experience'.
This is a huge uptick from the $60 she had in her bank account before she set up her OF.
She said: "Initially, people were just shocked.
"It was the biggest deal in the world but it's been nice to just live my life without the huge amount of judgement I used to get."
When she made the move to OnlyFans, Lucy had just come out of a marriage and was sick of having to work every hour God gave to make ends meet.
And after speaking to one of her friends who was on the site about what it was like, she decided to give it a go.
“There were times when I couldn't afford my rent. There were times I had to go on payment plans to pay the school fees,” she told Body+Soul.
“I had been working in the corporate banking industry doing really long hours and I just needed to find something where I could be there for my kids when they needed me, so I asked a girlfriend who was doing OnlyFans if it was worth the hype.”
Lucy is now financially secure, owns a number of properties and is able to send her kids to a good school.
