Team GB Star Turns to Adult Content on Social Media Post-Winter Olympics
A former Team GB Winter Olympian, Elise Christie, has turned to adult content on OnlyFans to support herself after a challenging Olympic career. Known for her exceptional talent in short track speed skating, Christie faced numerous setbacks at the Olympics.
Olympic Journey and Challenges
Elise Christie participated in the Winter Olympics in Sochi (2014) and PyeongChang (2018). In Sochi, she faced disqualifications in three events. PyeongChang proved equally devastating when she crashed out, despite being a strong medal contender.
After these experiences, Christie dealt with significant online abuse, adding to her disappointment. Following the 2018 Olympics, the loss of central funding severely impacted her preparations for the 2022 Beijing Games. This situation forced her to seek alternative income sources.
Turning to Pizza Delivery and OnlyFans
To support her training and living expenses, Christie took up a job at Pizza Hut as a pizza maker and delivery driver. She stated that her colleagues were surprised to learn of her previous Olympic status. Despite her high-profile past, she emphasized her dedication to making a living.
Christie eventually joined OnlyFans, a decision made after considerable contemplation. She shared that the stigma associated with her content creation was less daunting than the criticism she faced during her skating career. “It has nothing on being slagged off for my skating,” she noted.
Financial Realities and Earnings
Christie has expressed that the choice to create adult content was not taken lightly. She indicated that each set of 700 subscribers generating around £5,000 was substantial, especially as it matched her previous earnings from winning gold at the 2017 World Championships.
Personal Struggles and Triumphs
Beyond her challenges in sport, Christie has faced personal battles. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, she has spoken candidly about past issues such as self-harm, a traumatic incident in Nottingham, and serious health complications from a house fire in 2012.
After a transformative stint in rehabilitation, Elise Christie is now focusing on her family life as a mother to her two-year-old daughter, Millie. She continues to navigate her new path with resilience and determination.
