Arabelle Raphael was bullied by bullies as a child because of her appearance.
“I didn’t fit the ‘nice’ picture,” she said.
“I had curly hair, tattoos, a big nose. I never saw people in the media that looked like me.
“People who were so mean to me at school and wouldn’t even talk to me.
Determined to prove her tormentors wrong, Arabelle became a model and was soon earning tens of thousands of dollars a month in the adult entertainment industry.
The 35-year-old woman turned to content subscriptions in 2017 and now says she makes as much as $100,000 a month.
She claims that even the bullies at her school have subscribed to her channel and that she laughs at the fact that she is now making money off her enemies.
“It’s funny that they’re my subscribers now because I knew them from school,” she said.
“There have been a few times where bullies have subscribed to me. Now I’m making money from it, which is kind of funny.”
In fact, her friend’s ex-boyfriend even subscribed to her channel and asked if she remembered him.
“I love it, I think it’s very creative,” she continued.
“It’s like an erotic ballet. I love producing my own content and being creative.
“I was always so insecure about my breasts because they’re so big,” she continued.
But when she started posting online, people told her they liked her body.
People assume that my family wouldn’t support me, but they are very supportive.

“I realized that people pay for things that I don’t find attractive,” she said.
Arabelle says she has received a lot of criticism for her work in producing adult content, but claims it has not caused any problems in her immediate relationships.
“I was really ignorant about how much the world hates sex workers and people who are comfortable with their bodies. It was definitely a huge shock to me,” she admitted.

“It was shocking to be online and see how mean people are. I had to grow a thicker skin.
“I am fortunate to have had a partner for two years who has been very supportive of my work.
“People assume my family wouldn’t support me, but they are very supportive.
“I get asked all the time if dating is hard, but for me it’s not.
“I’m not attracted to people with very rigid ideas about sex and relationships, which makes it easier.
“My work hasn’t been a big problem when I’m dating. I do enjoy my work, but it never goes any further than that for me.”
