After shocking her fans when she unveiled her "lover" face tattoo she got on holiday in Bali, she opened up in a candid chat with Glamour Magazine about having to grow up in the public eye at a young age

The interview saw the 24-year-old giving details about feeling traumatized from being constantly body shamed, living in her older, more famous half-sister's shadow to finally becoming successful in her own right as an OnlyFans model and the subsequent backlash she received. 

The young star began by recalling how shocking it was for her to be scouted at 13 and then getting into the industry working for high-end brands by 16. She noted that while it was terrific at first, she never got to understand who she was, especially having to live up to the name her sister had already made.

Always being referred to as "Kate Moss' sister" rubbed her wrongly as they did not have a relationship then and now. This and other instances, according to Lottie, contributed to her "abandonment issues."

She stated that it was hard to have "someone 'close' to you doing the same job as you, who's already very prominent in the industry, but not having any advice or guidance." The star added that having managers and a team who realized they could mold you into what would make the best profit did not help in her development. 

The British-born model said there was also a pressure to look a certain way, as she recalled when she was given stylists at 18 because her clothes were not fashionable enough. In fact, she was not even allowed to shop for anything herself because of the paparazzi and had a personal trainer to keep her in shape.

She noted that she trained five times a week, especially when Fashion Week was approaching, to gain specific body measurements required for the runway: a 23-inch waist and 30-inch hips. In addition, she considered herself incredibly lucky she did not develop an eating disorder that was quite common among models in the industry.

She fell into depression, stopped showing up to jobs, and would get blamed for it, resulting in a mental breakdown that caused her to step away from modeling professionally in 2021.

This was when she got into the X-rated subscription site OnlyFans through her best friend Sahara Ray, who she was living with in Los Angeles. She was in awe at how free Ray felt going nude for the camera, prompting her to join and invite other girls to join them.

Lottie remembered thinking, "why can't the rest of the world be like this?" adding that she made a lot of good money from the venture but would not say how much in particular. She said:

"For me, it was about finding something where I could finally be myself and not only feel comfortable – which I hadn't at work for so long – but feel empowered, too."

The "Vogue" cover star stated that while the industry she left was so glamorized, OnlyFans was looked down upon, but it was the only place she felt empowered and safe.

Lottie Moss Announces Time In Rehab

Lottie Moss, a dominant force in the fashion industry and an open book to her fans, shared a fun video that was surprisingly done in an unexpected place. The Blast shared that in the lighthearted clip, she showed off her room, consisting of a bright white interior, a TV, chandelier, amongst other things.

The media personality sported hot pink hair with blonde and black roots alongside pink eyeshadow for her eyes, lipstick, and nails. Singing along to Labrinth's "Mount Everest" song, she wrote, "When everyone's glamorizing drug taking, but you're literally in rehab."

While she did not explain any further the reason for her stay, she did, however, hint that the popular drug-filled show "Euphoria" may have been part of it, writing, "I think I took euphoria too literally u guys ?"
