Lottie Moss, like most models, has her own unpleasant memories of the fashion industry.
The 24-year-old half-sister of Kate Moss shared with the public the bad experiences she has lived in the modelling industry, in an essay she wrote for British Glamour.
As she explained, the bad attitudes she encountered while working in the fashion industry were what made her change direction and become professionally involved with OnlyFans.
“I was spotted at 13 and started working in the industry at 16. My life at that time was a crazy whirlwind. I often felt like I was living in my sister’s shadow,” she initially writes.
As the younger, estranged half-sister of Kate Moss, 48, Lottie, 24, wrote that she was “thrown in the spotlight.”
Lottie shared that she was scouted at 13 and began working in the industry at 16. In the essay, she described her life at the time as a “crazy whirlwind” and wrote that she often felt she was living in her older sister’s shadow.
Lottie wrote that she was taunted and teased for eating on the job.

“Whenever I ate on set or at castings, my agents would laugh at me. They’d say: ‘Here’s ‘ham and cheese sandwich girl’ again’ or, ‘She’s having another ham and cheese sandwich!’ And I’d just laugh along,” Lottie shared. “Back then, I didn’t realize how traumatizing it was as a young girl; all the things they said to me. I’m incredibly lucky I didn’t develop an eating disorder.”
According to Lottie, her experience in the modeling industry negatively affected her mental health. When she would break down on sets, Lottie claims that she was not given the support she needed.
“I didn’t want to show up for work; I couldn’t. And I got blamed for it. ‘Other girls would die to be in your position,’ my agents would tell me,” Lottie wrote. “‘You’re being so ungrateful’. I wanted to scream. Somewhere along the line, I just completely lost myself, and I had a mental breakdown.”
“They kept blaming me, saying ‘other girls would die to be in your shoes’ or ‘you’re ungrateful.’ I wanted to scream. Somewhere in there, I completely lost myself and had a mental breakdown,” explains Lottie Moss.
This unpleasant period of her life was also the reason for her to retire from modeling and engage in the subscription platform of erotic content “OnlyFans”.
“The modeling industry fascinates you, while on the other hand OnlyFans is very misunderstood. But it was the only place where I felt strong and safe,” she explained.
