A plus-size OnlyFans content creator says she’s received death threats and comments telling her to lose weight – but the clued up model thinks it’s rooted in fatphobia.

Many of these ‘trolls’ subscribe to her. She believes most haters are too scared to admit they find her attractive and willingly pay for her content.

The adult content creator, known as Strawberry Belle, 30, from Brighton, UK, said: ‘Right now I have an Instagram follower who comments hate on everything I post but I just laugh it off and appreciate the engagement will push my content out to more people.

‘It’s funny in the past I’ve recognised usernames from hate comments in my list of subscribers on OnlyFans – I think sometimes people feel ashamed for finding chubby girls attractive and they have to leave the hate to reconcile this.’

Despite this, her confidence has only grown since being on the platform.

Belle started her adult content creation journey in October 2022 after working as a video director and editor, which boosted her video editing skills.

As a dress-size 18, Belle mostly posts videos about loving her body.

That seems to rub some haters up the wrong way, as comments she’s received include: ‘belly too big in my opinion’, ‘delete it ASAP you look terrible’, and ‘delete that, your body is a failure’.

Belle said: ‘I’ve also been told to kill myself or that I ought to pick up an eating disorder on TikTok Live a few times.

‘The hate is always worst there because I think it’s more disposable – they don’t have to deal with the consequences of their words staying under a video on my page because it’s just gone as quickly as they’ve written it.

‘Most of the time I’m able to just shrug off comments like this, but I know not everyone can, and it makes me angry that trolls think it’s okay to say things like this that can have a serious impact on someone’s mental health.

‘If I’m feeling vulnerable I don’t go live on TikTok, or check my comments, it’s just not worth it, but most of the time I just laugh because the chubby belly they hate so much is what’s paying my bills.’

Belle loves her job, as she is able to work less hours than before and still earn more, giving her a work-life balance she never had before.

She’s also found the work has given her greater body acceptance, and she encourages people to take nudes of themselves to help them feel more confident in their bodies – no matter what size they are.

‘I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been and I’ve never felt more sexy,’ she said.

‘I’d recommend to anyone on a self acceptance journey to take some nudes, even if no one sees them other than themselves.

‘Seeing myself like this has really helped me accept and love my body exactly as it is.’

Belle wants to show women that all bodies are desirable, especially those which aren’t shown as often in mainstream media.

‘A huge incentive for why I do what I do is to give body types like mine more visibility online, especially in the adult industry,’ she said.

‘Mainstream porn and social media can perpetuate impossible standards for women and make us feel like our natural bodies aren’t good enough.

‘Especially with AI and what these editing apps can do now, we’re comparing ourselves to bodies that aren’t even real.

‘I never retouch my photos or manipulate my videos to make myself look smaller or to hide my stretch marks or scars.

‘I want people to see that real bodies are sexy and desirable, no matter what size or shape, scars or marks.’
