I was a pregnant OnlyFans model, vulgar things were said about my baby

A former OnlyFans model who earned $100,000 a year on the adult site admitted that men would ‘sexualize’ her pregnancy and ruined her self-esteem.

Sydney Ruiz, 24, began sharing raunchy snaps of herself topless and in a bikini as well as explicit video content five years ago to make some ‘quick money.’ 

The Dallas, Texas-based brunette beauty earned $5,000 in her first month and quickly climbed the ranks into the top content creators – raking in six figures annually. 

However, her dream of living a lavish life by posting sensual content turned into a nightmare after she received an overwhelming amount of death threats and abuse, especially when she fell pregnant. 

After getting messages from men who asked her to ‘breastfeed them,’ Sydney finally decided in June that she had had enough and left the adult industry behind.

At the peak of her OnlyFans career in May 2020, Sydney fell pregnant with her first child.

She gave birth to a baby boy in January 2021, however, he sadly passed away just one month later from unknown causes.

Sydney admitted that her continuing career on OnlyFans while expecting made her extremely uncomfortable as she said men would even sexualize her pregnancy.

She said: ‘I posted my pregnancy on social media and continued to post on OnlyFans until I started showing.

‘People were sexualizing the fact I was pregnant, they were sexualizing my baby – I was being asked by men to breast feed them.’

In November 2021, Sydney found out that she was expecting her second child and gave birth to him in August 2022.

This time, Sydney decided to keep her pregnancy a secret and stopped posting online.

Sydney said: ‘It completely destroyed my mental health and self completely. I was so body conscious – I was very skinny at the time.

‘I feel like getting pregnant saved my life because I gained the weight I needed.’

Sydney confessed that everything on the app was ‘hyper-sexualized’ and would often be called a sl*t or a w***e.

She confessed it had left her struggling with her confidence.

Sydney admitted: ‘It destroyed my mental health and self image completely. At the peak of my OnlyFans career, I was so worried about my body.

‘I feel like girls, who are freshly 18 should be wary about getting into the industry. I have self esteem problems, I have body confidence issues.

‘I feel that if I never got into the industry my life could be completely different – I would have confidence and not be afraid of men.’ 

Sydney was 18 years old when she started working in the adult entertainment industry.

She worked on a site called Fancentro for one year before joining OnlyFans in October 2019.

Sydney added: ‘I joined Fancentro because I saw other people doing it and I thought it was quick money.

‘I quit the site and took a break before someone reached out to me about OnlyFans and how they could manage me.’

In her first month, Sydney brought home $5,000, with her making a shocking $10,000 to $15,000 at her peaks.

The Texas-based creator: ‘I never did porn, it was more risky content like bikini pictures, topless photos and some videos.

‘My first month I made $5,000 and I kept at it, when the pandemic hit my earnings went up and up.

‘In my highest month I made $10,000 to $15,000 and in my first year I made $100,000.’

She hit back at the men who criticized her online. 

She said: ‘Men would never come up to you in the street and say what they say to you online.

‘I was often called a sl*t or a w***e and would be told to kill myself. I have always gotten death threats – it was a normalized thing.

‘Men would expect things for free and when I said no I would be called a worthless w***e and told to end my life.’

On her decision to leave the industry, Sydney explained she ‘hated’ being so sexual and didn’t want to be looked at as an object anymore.

She said: ‘I didn’t have the time or energy to keep producing the content. OnlyFans has become so saturated, there were woman willing to do more online but I had boundaries.

‘I hated being so sexual, I don’t want to be looked at as an object. When June came around I realized I wasn’t making enough money to do this to my mental health.’

Since quitting the site, Sydney said she had become ‘wary’ of men due to the abuse she experienced online.

She said: ‘I am extremely wary of men, it makes me feel like men are hard-wired to prey on us women.

‘I was getting messages from girls asking me to block their boyfriend, I was being messaged by men with a wife and kids – it makes me have no trust in men.

‘I am not bashing women who still work in the industry – I just decided that I couldn’t continue anymore.’
