I honestly believe sitting back and looking at it now that people do it because like Stefano, they're so desperate for cash at one specific point and coming off the back of the TV show.

I couldn't go back into my career as a finance broker and I was going to lose everything.

So,

I started off, like you said, with the topless photos and whatnot, and then that progressed quite rapidly and it was a slippery slope.

I kept trying to justify it to myself because of the money that I was being made.

Slowly, scene by scene, movie by movie, the more people that I slept with, I became so detached from who I was as a human.

The thing is that we can talk about this empowerment and put a lot of self in it, but

It is just that.

It's acting.

And you start acting so much that you forget actually who you are and what your values are, and the line becomes quite blurred.

Now, I'm talking on behalf of myself, but I'm also talking from a perspective where I've seen –

I don't want to say low-level sex workers, but there's a spectrum to everything, right?

You've got your low-tier moneymakers.

And just the stats on OnlyFans, I think it's the average creator makes between $150 to $500 a month.

People aren't killing it on OnlyFans, right?

And it's the most over-glorified platform.

And, you know, I played a part in that.

But

you start acting so much and becoming this character that isn't you that you actually forget to be you and then when it comes to interacting in everyday life and normal conversations you actually start getting riddled with anxiety and fear because you're so used to standing on something that is so far removed from who god has called you to be and who you were made to be that

you just don't have a firm foundation anymore.
