A mum who quit her job as a nurse after colleagues found out about her OnlyFans page has now received an unexpected message.
Allie Rae, an American mum-of-three from Boston, says she was forced to give up her 15-year career as a senior neonatal nurse when fellow workers found out about her side gig.
After being given an ultimatum in 2020, the 37-year-old decided to stick with modelling on OnlyFans and now rakes in over a million dollars a year filming content with husband Steve.
Allie, who was working 14-hour days and helped save lives during the coronavirus pandemic, says business is booming and she has now ventured into multiple new careers.
When asked by The Mirror how she feels about it all now, she said: "I don't have any regrets. I have never lived a life of regret. There are some things I would do differently, but then again, I am pretty happy with where I am at, so it's hard to want to look back and change anything.
"The one thing about me is, I am always gonna do what I wanna do, whatever it is I want to do in the moment - I'm gonna do it.
"It may not always be the right choice, but it's the choice I wanted to make at the moment and I would rather regret doing something, than regret not doing something. I own every decision I have ever made."
Allie explained that six of her fellow nurses reported her to HR in September 2020 after finding her racy content.
She was initially left off with a warning, as she did not use her real name or reveal her place of employment online, but things got much worse in December that year when HR was handed evidence of her OnlyFans account.
Fed up of being hauled over hot coals and making a fortune through her side gig and fed up with how she was being treated, Allie quit her nursing now.
Allie has been pleasantly surprised by the reaction to her story - and even got an apology from a former co-worker.
She told us: "I had one colleague reach out to me to apologize about the whole situation, I don't feel it was genuine though - I think it was because she was scared I might disclose who she was to the press.
"With that being said, she is the only one - out of the 5 mean girls who went to bat to get me fired - that has actually even tried to reach out.
"I recently had a fellow nurse reach out to me and say that I am somewhat of a 'legend' and 'hero' to the healthcare community of Boston - and that was probably one the coolest messages to receive. Especially considering how much backlash I got for what happened to me.
"Many look up to me as "someone who escaped the corporate atmosphere of overworked and underpaid healthcare workers" and is now living her best life. Many people are afraid to make that jump, and I did it, despite the risk - and look at me now."
Allie says she is still making over a million a year and has opened up her own investment branch of her brand - and now invests in real estate.
The mum also reviews beers and has ventured into crypto, so has gone in very different directions to nursing.
She explained: "I am now the CEO of WetSpace - my own platform! We are different in the sense that we not only accept regular credit card payments for creators, but also multiple cryptocurrencies such as ETH, AVAX, BUSD, etc! We are one of the only platforms out there like this and are growing everyday!
"I am also the host of my own new self produced show called 'Tap That with Allie Rae' where I review craft beers across America. This is something very special to me, considering it's kind of where my entire social media journey all began.
"It's very cool to go full circle and back to my roots doing what I love and what led me to starting my OF journey."
Having worked through the pandemic, Allie has been able to spend more time at home with her three children and moved to Florida.
She now spends her days getting steamy with husband Steve, but says they are still a "normal" family.
When asked if there are any downsides to her new career, she said: "Oh of course, as a wife, mother and veteran, I take a lot of heat for what I do, but that just rolls off my shoulders and doesn't bother me, but on the other hand, I would say security is probably my number one downside to this industry.
"I am constantly trying to protect my privacy and my life outside of OnlyFans. I have some people who have become very attached to me and my story and many times have crossed the line.
"The other downside is that work never stops when you work for yourself, we are running a business and I am working 16+ hours a day.
"Although that may be a downside for most, it is not for me, it's the perfect environment for me to thrive and continue growing my brand. I am addicted to what I do, and that's why I do it so well."
