A mum who started an OnlyFans to boost her income says locals are trying to shut her down - in case their husbands see the content. Laura Whyte, 29, says she has gone from living off £35-a-week benefit payments to raking in £4,000 a month. She started posting raunchy pictures online in September 2021 and quickly gained a following. But Laura claims her newfound career has also seen her receive negative attention - from residents in her village. She claims she has been sent anonymous messages, including some threatening to call the police. And the mum-of-two, who lives in tiny Aberchirder, Aberdeenshire, says others have said they will call social services unless she takes down her content. Laura said: “My partner would ask, ‘Why are you getting so upset’. But it’s intimidating – it just makes you get worried to go outside. “A lot [of the messages] are women saying they don’t want their husbands finding my page." Laura says she started receiving messages in March 2022, around six months after she launched the account. She realised the messages started around the same time as people that she knew had viewed her Instagram story, where she advertised her OnlyFans. She says one anonymous message told her she had 24 hours to take her posts down – or they would call the police due to it being "pornography". Others appeared to come from other women in the village telling her that if their partners found her account, there would be "problems", she claims. She says she was also told if she didn’t stop using OnlyFans, the anonymous commenters would report her to HMRC and social services. Laura, who posts on her Instagram account under the handle @itslaurawhyte, says she gets reported so much it’s hard to keep her accounts active. However, despite the messages, she says her OnlyFans career has made her feel more confident and less depressed. And, with over a thousand subscribers, she says she makes between £3,500 and £4,000 per month. “It was fine for the first few months when nobody knew about it in the village,” said Laura. “When [locals] started to view my Instagram account, I started getting messages from fake accounts saying they were going to report me to the police, HMRC, and social services. “I would get messages saying I had 24 hours to take all my posts down or they would call the police as it was pornography. “Somebody said they would contact HMRC and the DWP within 24 hours, one said they were going to be contacting social services to make sure it’s acceptable to be doing ‘that kind of job’ while having children. “One said they had already called the police three times. “I’ve not a clue who’s sending them, there’s so many people who speak about it that it would be too many people to accuse. “I’ve been living in the village for eight years and now it feels like everyone hates me. “I recently had a message on Twitter saying they were seeing me walking around the village and could see what clothes I wear. "I wear baggy clothes, I’m not showing off or anything to get the hate I get." However, defiant Laura says she won't let the messages stop her - as the money has allowed her to live the life she's always wanted. “I’ll never take the messages in a literal sense, it’s probably to try and put me off - I just ignore them, I don’t even let them know I’ve read it," she said. “I have over 1,000 subscribers. You get to feel a bit more confident in yourself and my partner says it’s made me more confident and I’m not so depressed with myself. “I’ve saved up to get breast enlargements which has made me feel more comfortable in my body and we’ve been able to do things we would have never been able to do before. “I put the money in savings so it’s not just being spent on rubbish – now that I’ve got my social media started again I’m making £3,500 to £4,000 a month.” “Before, I was only getting child benefit of £35 week and was trying do better for my family to put a deposit down on a house. "Now, we’re looking to buy a house in the next year or so.”
