OnlyFans sensation Annie Knight, who's gearing up to say "I do" with her fiancé Henry Brayshaw next year, has found herself navigating a bridal party dilemma. The Australian adult content creator sat down with Mamamia to share how her career choice unexpectedly rippled into her wedding plans. Several friends, once slated to be bridesmaids, have stepped back due to professional repercussions.
In a candid conversation, Knight revealed, "They were devastated. It wasn't a decision they made lightly." Her friends, concerned about their own career standings, explained they couldn't maintain such a close association with her OnlyFans persona. "They were honored to be chosen," she added, "but ultimately, due to their own careers, they couldn't be featured so close to me."
“I've obviously been burnt by friends before, so I do have a bit of PTSD when it comes to rejection from friends,” she admitted, reflecting on past experiences and the emotional toll of this decision.
Knight, 28, initially grappled with insecurities, questioning the strength of her friendships amidst the upheaval. However, she soon found reassurance in the love and support her friends continued to offer. "Now it's easy for me to understand and accept. I know how important careers are," she shared, empathizing with the difficult choice her friends faced. She emphasizes that if her career were ever at risk, she would take similar steps to protect it.
Despite the initial disappointment, Knight's friends remain supportive. They plan to assist in other wedding preparations, ensuring they're still part of her special day. Knight will proceed with six bridesmaids at her side when she and Brayshaw, who first crossed paths in 2016, exchange vows in Australia.
Knight's journey with OnlyFans began in 2020, evolving into a full-time venture by 2022. Known for her candidness, she made headlines earlier this year with claims of having slept with 583 men in six hours. Her success on the platform is undeniable, boasting earnings of over $200,000 monthly. While her fiancé and mother stand by her career choice, not all reactions have been supportive.
In her interview, Knight recounted a particularly harsh exchange with childhood friends who disapproved of her professional path, labeling it as a "stab to the heart." Despite the emotional turmoil, she found empowerment in the aftermath, ultimately cutting ties with those who couldn't accept her choices. "It was that rage that gave me the strength to cut them off for good," Knight declared, embracing her newfound independence and resilience.
