Lily Phillips has revealed
staggering earnings from her adult content career, while
urging young girls not to follow in her footsteps. The Derbyshire native shot to fame after her controversial stunt of sleeping with 101 men in one day, a move she later admitted left her emotionally and physically drained.
Appearing on the
Getting There podcast, Lily shared that she made
£15,000 in her first month on OnlyFans, with regular monthly earnings of £20,000 or more during her first year. However, she declined to reveal her current income, saying she doesn’t want to mislead girls into thinking it’s easy money. “I really, really try to be honest,” she said, acknowledging the dangerous glamorisation of success in the adult industry.
Despite investing in property and staff for her business, Lily confessed the cost of her success includes public judgement and emotional toll. “Everyone thinks about you differently once you do OnlyFans,” she said, even though many people are sexually active in private without scrutiny.
Lily also addressed the now-infamous 101-men event, which was filmed for a YouTube documentary. She revealed she was “under-prepared,” exhausted, and disturbed that not all the men respected her boundaries. The shoot lasted 14 hours, and she
broke down in tears, saying the experience made her feel “robotic” and disconnected. Despite portraying the event positively in public, the footage showed her struggling emotionally: “Sometimes you just disassociate... it's not like normal sex at all.”
Criticism of her appearance on
BBC Newsnight followed, with viewers slamming the network for prioritising a porn star over serious news topics. Lily’s claims that she’s “not traumatised” were met with scepticism online, where many questioned her mental well-being and the safety protocols (or lack thereof) during the mass encounter.
Although she once planned to raise the bar with a 1,000-men challenge, she ultimately scrapped it—partly due to
Bonnie Blue beating her to it. Reflecting on her career, Lily warns: “It’s not for the weak girls... I don’t know if I’d recommend it.”
