A West Australian mother has described how she was forced to alter her identity and relocate due to her hostile neighbors’ response to her OnlyFans profession.
Lucy Banks, from Perth, has been the subject of many police investigations, had a brick etched with’slut’ placed in her yard, and had to seek various restraining orders – all because of how she makes a livelihood.
The 32-year-neighbors old’s seem to fear that her OnlyFans profession is endangering her children, with police informing Ms Banks that she had been reported to them and Child Protective Services five times each.
‘I was quite disturbed.’ That was really upsetting to me. ‘I’m an outstanding mother, and everything I do is to ensure the safety and security of my children,’ Ms Banks told News.com.
All reports against Ms Banks had been rejected due to a lack of proof.
Ms Banks’ working name did nothing to safeguard her identity, so she altered it to protect herself and her family’s identities.
Ms Banks has long been one of Australia’s highest-paid adult performers, having resigned her job in 2019 to join OnlyFans.
Since then, she’s drawn the ire of nosy residents who have harassed her and reported her to police. She did, however, relate the agony of getting the brick. “That brought things to a whole new level, and we relocated a few weeks later,” she said. “I don’t mind if people dislike me as much as they want. But it was clearly someone who dislikes me who knows where I live.
‘People have no clue how much work I put in to ensure our safety.’
She said that she had not grown up with stability, but that her line of work enabled her to have it as an adult and provide for her own children. She went on to say that most individuals who generate sex material on OnlyFans’ site want to do the best for their family.
‘We simply have this stigma that can spill over into real life and be extremely frightening,’ she said.
When she last talked to the Daily Mail Australia, she had over 3,700 members and was making up to $2,500 each day.
The OnlyFans actress also described the anxiety she had when a bag of lubricant and a vibrator, among other items, were stolen from her vehicle.
‘There’s a criminal nearby who is going to be astonished when he opens a suitcase full of gigantic dildos, OnlyFans exercise tights, and Lucy Banks-branded vehicle air fresheners,’ the mum-of-two said.
‘However, the image of this huge, muscular criminal strolling around in white OnlyFans workout tights makes me laugh,’ she remarked.
‘I really called the cops last night because I was certain someone was on my roof.’
‘The vehicle burglary has left me quite nervous. I was beginning to believe I was being followed and pursued, but I’m sure it was all a coincidence.’
The actress joked that anybody who saw someone suspicious wearing a green velvet bodycon dress, burgundy lace underwear set, white bikini, or carrying a 10-inch pink dildo should contact the cops right away.
Ms Banks is not slowing down on the platform.
‘It’s about freedom for me.’ Having the leisure to spend with my family and the ability to purchase a house, essentials, and fun items for my children without worrying about how much money is in the bank.’
