An OnlyFans model who was part of America's infamous Westboro Baptist Church family for years is finally living her dream life as a nurse.
Lauren Drain has built her own fitness following after ditching one of America's most hated families after seven years.
The 36-year-old mum-of-one is now working as a nurse after following her calling and ditching the notorious family are known for their anti-LGBT rants and abuse to attendees at soldiers' funerals.
For years Lauren, who has shot to fame after posting a series of sexy selfies to her four million Instagram followers, regularly attended Westboro protests with her family telling sinners to repent, The Sun reports.
However, at the age of 21 she was banished from the group after it was discovered she was talking to a boy who wasn't from the group and was forced to leave behind sisters Taylor and Faith as well as brother Bo.
She said: "I did feel called to nursing to help people.
"When my little sister Taylor had cancer as a baby when she was not even one yet, I fell in love with that profession.
"Taylor's doctor was a nurse practitioner, who I believe helped save her life.
"Nursing is a highly rewarding profession when you get to help save lives and families recover.
"I love how intense it can be to think and act on your toes. I started in cardiology step-down from the ICU and I eventually made it to the float pool to help low staffing nurses all over the hospital.
"I love the challenging intensity of the job. Nurses are a special breed of humans and I am honoured to be a part of that community."
The group is known for its controversial, and often hateful, opinions and was founded in Kanas in 1955 by Baptist pastor Fred Phelps.
It is something Lauren struggled with while in the group, as well as parents monitoring emails, texts, and limiting communication with people on the outside.
Laured added: "It was a very strict culture. I wasn't allowed to cut my hair, paint my nails, date or talk with boys, or really make friends with anyone outside of the church.
"We had a lot of church-related schedules around daily picketing, cleaning up church property, doing household and neighbourhood lawn work and chores.
"Many of the Westboro parents would monitor their kids' emails, cell phone texts and limit any interaction with anyone outside of the church.
"There was a lot of fear-based shaming and punishments for any rules broken and questions asked by us when we were young," Lauren said.
"I asked a lot of questions, so clearly I became a target for some of the church humiliation and punishments.
"To me now, it was all part of their goal to control the members and keep them in line with their strict rules and judgemental beliefs.
"They openly judged everyone to death and hell, which became a source of discomfort for me as I got older and wiser."
Lauren was eventually booted out of the group after her family found out she was communicating with a boy outside the church and revealed she was cut off from her family after speaking daily for more than seven years.
The mum-of-one, who appeared in Louis Theroux's 2007 documentary The Most Hated Family in America, said it was the most devastating moment of her life.
She added: "Getting banished from the church was the absolute most devastating moment of my life and I wouldn't wish the separation of family on my worst enemy."
Lauren said fitness has allowed her to escape the damage inflicted on her by her old hateful religion.
"Fitness has saved my life and so many others," she said.
"I now train my clients full time all over the world with my six week fitness challenges.
"We get in amazing shape, have total body transformations and join a supportive fitness community.
"I have a fitness challenge running now - it starts on November 6 and it involves my brand new fitness app with meal recipes and workout tutorials."
