Lottie’s essay was published a day after she received backlash for her tweets about nepotism.
Model and influencer Lottie Moss wrote about her experience as a model and her pivot to OnlyFans for Glamour UK.
In the personal essay published Thursday, Lottie was candid about the comments she received while working in the modeling industry.
As the younger, estranged half-sister of Kate Moss, 48, Lottie, 24, wrote that she was “thrown in the spotlight.”
Lottie shared that she was scouted at 13 and began working in the industry at 16. In the essay, she described her life at the time as a “crazy whirlwind” and wrote that she often felt she was living in her older sister’s shadow.
Lottie wrote that she was taunted and teased for eating on the job.
“Whenever I ate on set or at castings, my agents would laugh at me. They’d say: ‘Here’s ‘ham and cheese sandwich girl’ again’ or, ‘She’s having another ham and cheese sandwich!’ And I’d just laugh along,” Lottie shared. “Back then, I didn’t realize how traumatizing it was as a young girl; all the things they said to me. I’m incredibly lucky I didn’t develop an eating disorder.”
According to Lottie, her experience in the modeling industry negatively affected her mental health. When she would break down on sets, Lottie claims that she was not given the support she needed.
“I didn’t want to show up for work; I couldn’t. And I got blamed for it. ‘Other girls would die to be in your position,’ my agents would tell me,” Lottie wrote. “‘You’re being so ungrateful’. I wanted to scream. Somewhere along the line, I just completely lost myself, and I had a mental breakdown.”
In April 2021, Lottie took a step back from modeling and began making content on OnlyFans….
