Lottie Moss says she's never been close to sister Kate who 'triggered abandonment issues'

Lottie Moss has once again hit out at sister Kate Moss and claimed the pair never shared a close bond.

The young model, 24, also claimed her older sibling's icon status caused her to have abandonment issues before she found her "community" on racy website OnlyFans.

For a stage it appeared as though Lottie was ready to follow in Kate's footsteps on the worldwide catwalks and she even signed for London-based Storm Management at just 14-years-old - at the same age and by the same company her sister made her name with.

However, after turned to more revealing content on the subscription-based site, Lottie believes she's finally stepping out of her sister's shadow after deciding it's no longer her dream to be like Kate.

Speaking to Glamour UK, she confessed: "When I started out, I was always just Kate Moss's sister. That was really hard for me growing up, especially not being that close with my sister (we still don’t really have a relationship now, which is something I never really speak about).

"But back then, I was bombarded with people constantly asking me about my sister – I’d go to my friends’ houses and there would be pictures of her on the walls – and it really triggered a lot of abandonment issues."

And she added that it was extremely hard not having Kate, 48, to lean on for advice or guidance in the industry, despite the older Moss being such a success.

Turning to OnlyFans, Lottie defended the site's negative reputation, insisting it's the only place she has felt "empowered and safe".

"I’m part of a community on OnlyFans – I love nudity, I love doing naked shoots, feeling good about myself and watching other girls feel proud of themselves, too," she said.

Her words about her sister come weeks after she had criticised Kate in a lengthy post on social media. Sharing a snap of her in a nude vest, she admitted she recognises she comes from a "very privileged position" thanks to her sister's success, but she received no support from her.

She wrote: "... I was pretty much on my own so I had to navigate this by myself and do the best I could which I feel I have.

"I know it's hard for people to understand but being In a toxic industry at a very young age really took its toll on me."
