Madelene Wright's journey from footballer to Only Fans fame
The footballer was dropped from her team for a Snapchat video scandal
Madelene Wright had a future as a footballer, but a perceived mistake in her youth broke all plans.
Wright played for
Charlton Athletic Women, which she says was her whole life and all she wanted.
"When you play for a football team, they become your family, so getting away from that was hard,"
Wright said.
Videos on Snapchat showing the player partying broke all of her plans. The club felt it was not appropriate to give off such an image, and after some investigation they decided that
Madelene would not be part of the club.
Wright's chances of fulfilling her dream disappeared all of a sudden.
"When it all happened, I also realised how many people I had let down,"
Wright told The Sun in an interview.
"I used to train at an academy for young girls. They looked up to me and always asked me for advice. I felt guilty, ashamed and disappointed in myself for showing myself like that.
"When it all happened I thought that was it and I didn't know how I was going to get over it. But there's always a new day and a new start. Everyone has a past, you can't change it."
Wright looked for another another path and managed to find one in social media.
On Instagram she already has more than 340,000 followers. A year ago, she decided to join the OnlyFans community. There, she earned almost 600,000 euros with various photos and videos in bikinis, football shirts and lingerie.
At first, the influencer was not entirely happy about joining the platform.
"My main reason for not doing it was the reputation I had,"
Wright said.
"I didn't want to be associated with that kind of thing. But when you weigh the pros and cons, and after doing it for a whole year, I know I made the right decision.
"It was and still is a concern for me because I don't want people to have that kind of perception about me."
Future plans
After a year that
Wright says has "changed her life completely", she now has other plans.
"I want to set up my own business and become an entrepreneur and get away from the stereotype and be seen as a businesswoman,"
Wright said.
"The main thing for me is to go into real estate, which is something I've always wanted to do since I was a footballer.
"I want to build an empire. And I want everyone to realise that you can start again."
