Libby Hopwood has lifted the lid on her ongoing battle with evil trolls after turning her back on horse racing for OnlyFans.
The 36-year-old recently launched her new career on the steamy subscription website OnlyFans, and says she was used to abusing online dating long before switching careers.
“It’s ongoing,” Hopwood said News Corp. “I was driving crap while I was driving. People have a negative bias and the internet has given them a megaphone.”
Hopwood – a former Sky Racing pundit – raised eyebrows when she took a leave from the mainstream media to launch her own ‘boobs and bets’ page.
She launched the website in September, with bettors paying $15 a month to subscribe. She has now generated enough followers to make it her full-time job.

“As a woman you are seen as nice and polite and you know your place, so you are a good girl,” she said. “But if you’re out of your mind, you’re a whore and open to vitriol.”
Hopwood’s career came to an untimely end when she suffered a severe fall in 2014, resulting in a brain hemorrhage, broken collarbone, broken scapula and broken vertebra.
“It’s been a learning process dealing with it,” Hopwood said. “Some of the comments still affect me. When I started OnlyFans I was doing a podcast and they came after me pretty hard.
“They said I used my body to get a grip and whatever. I am a woman of 30 years. I’m going to have sex. I am in a long term relationship. It’s nothing to write home about.
“I’ve set my Twitter settings to only get notifications from people I follow. So I know it will be kind comments.
‘Anyone can do whatever they want. Racing was my bread and butter. It’s harder in racing because it’s an old fashioned mindset and when I launched my site I got reactions from some people. I make a habit of not looking for negative comments.
The 36-year-old has pledged to help her subscribers find a winner while ‘wearing a blazer…and not much else’
“I put up a bikini picture and people went crazy.
“I just want to create a place where people can do whatever they want and not be attacked by anonymous bots.
“It was literally sticking your toe in and seeing what happens,” Hopwood said. “I am amazed at the feedback and how well it has been done. It does enough that it could be my entire income if I wanted to.’
