An OnlyFans model has splashed out on a £200,000 dream home, far from the locals she claims had issues over her chosen career.
Mum-of-two Laura Whyte transitioned from living on £35 a week in benefits to earning a substantial £5,000 a month through the adult content platform. However, she did get anonymous threats from residents of Aberchirder, Aberdeenshire, warning of police action about her explicit material.
Laura suggested that the threats came from women in the community who were worried their spouses might find her online offerings. She added that some local mums even threatened to contact social services if she didn't remove her content from the Internet.
The 30-year-old ignored them and has now built up a healthy-looking house deposit of £60,000, a feat she said would never have been a reality without her success on OnlyFans.
Now, the mum-of-two lives 30 miles away in "a cottage in the middle of nowhere" that has six acres of land. She said: "I also got a bothy along with the property so I'm going to upgrade that to be a studio for my content."
She likened her new life to "being on holiday all the time". She said: "When I used to book holidays it would be to rural locations like this. It doesn't feel like we've actually been able to achieve it - some people were saying I don't earn as much as I say I do and I won't be able to afford it," reports the Daily Record.
"Other people questioned it all the time asking if we were actually looking for a house, but we wanted to do it right and don't want to have to move again. It's really quiet and it's in a really lovely location the kids are so happy."
Laura, her partner, and their two children have just moved into their dream £200k two-bedroom home after completing the purchase on August 8. Laura said that her former nightmare neighbours have made way for nature's tranquillity now she wakes up to the sound of birds rather than hostile comments.
"It's just a relief to have moved away. I don't have to wake up and see anyone - instead it's birds, deer and foxes at night time.
"It's just a better environment all round for me and my kids. We did question if we were going to manage it - I think a lot of people do while they're looking for houses. You wonder if you're going to achieve it.
"But we didn't give up and we've finally achieved it I don't think we ever would have achieved this without OnlyFans. This is defo my dream property - I've proven them all wrong."
