Libby Hopwood has lifted the lid on her constant battle with vile trolls after turning her back on horseracing for OnlyFans. 

The 36-year-old recently launched her new career on steamy subscription website OnlyFans, and says she has long been accustomed to abuse online – dating before her career change.

‘It’s been ongoing,’ Hopwood told News Corp. ‘I was copping crap when I was riding. Humans have a negative bias and the internet has given them a megaphone.’

Hopwood – a former Sky Racing pundit – raised eyebrows when she said goodbye to mainstream media to launch her own ‘boobs and bets’ page.

She started the website in September, with punters paying $15 a month to subscribe. She has now generated a large enough following to make it her full-time job.

‘As a woman you’re seen as either nice and polite and you know your place so you’re a good girl,’ she said. ‘But if you’re out spoken you’re a whore and open for vitriol.’ 

Hopwood’s career came to a premature end when she suffered a bad fall, which resulted in a bleed on the brain, a broken collarbone, a fractured shoulder blade and a fractured vertebrae in 2014.  

‘It’s been a learning process to deal with it,’ Hopwood said. ‘Some comments still get to me. When I launched with OnlyFans I did a podcast and they came after me pretty hard.

‘They said I was using my body to get traction and ‘whatever’ else. I’m a 30-yearold woman. I’m going to be having sex. I’m in a long-term relationship. It’s nothing to write home about.

‘I’ve turned my Twitter settings to notify me for only people that I follow. So I know they are going to be friendly comments.

‘Everyone can do what they want to do. Racing was my bread and butter. It’s harder in racing as it’s an old school mentality and when I launched my site I had a backlash from some people. I do make a habit of not looking for negative comments.

‘I put up a bikini photo and people were losing their minds.

‘I just want to create a place where people can do what they want to do and not get attacked by anonymous bots.

‘It was literally to dip your toe in and see what happens,’ Hopwood said. ‘I have been amazed about the feedback and how well it’s done. It’s doing enough that it could be my entire income if I wanted.’
