Annie Knight, a 26-year-old Australian woman, recently lost her corporate job after her employers discovered her secret OnlyFans account. She revealed her story on SBS’ Insight, expressing her surprise and disappointment at being dismissed from her corporate role.
Annie Knight claims to be in the top 0.4 percent of creators on OnlyFans, a platform known for adult content. When she first started her account, she had concerns about the potential impact on her job but never expected to lose it.
Her fears became reality when, just a few years into her corporate job, she received an email on her fifth day at work notifying her of the termination of her contract. The email contained screenshots from her OnlyFans account and cited three reasons for her dismissal.
The reasons provided included allegations that she falsely claimed to have a side business, failed to seek the company’s permission for her side venture, and shared “online pornographic images” of herself with “crude language,” which the company deemed unacceptable.
When asked if she contested the decision, Annie Knight responded, “I did, only because by day five, I hated the job so much that I wasn’t going to fight the ruling. But I was definitely very upset and very angry at the decision.”
Annie Knight initially started her OnlyFans account in September 2020 with the goal of saving money to buy a house. She had not anticipated the rapid success of her account. Within a month, she began making thousands of dollars and continued using it for the next 18 months as a side project to her full-time job, earning an average of $1,794 per month.
Reflecting on her job loss, she mentioned that she was pleased to an extent and felt happier with more freedom after leaving her corporate role.
