Sophie Rain claps back at haters over runway debut backlash at Miami Swim Week
OnlyFans sensation Sophie Rain has no time for the naysayers belittling her surprise runway stint at Miami Swim Week.
Proud earner of over £81 million on the adult platform, the 23-year-old turned heads at the glitzy fashion event as she swept up all the attention with two swimwear looks.
She was there as a representative of Creators Inc., the content creator management company founded by Andrew Bachman six years ago.
Also present at Miami Swim Week were fellow digital stars Piper Rockelle, Alina Rose, Summer Iris, Mariella Gregoria and Virginia Sanhouse.

Yet it was Rain's runway debut that seemed to court the biggest response on social media, having gamely modelled some sizzling giraffe-print and neon numbers for the watching fashionistas.
In the eyes of the catwalking purists out there, Rain's Swim Week appearance brought shame to a prestigious gathering.
"Bring back proper supermodels," read one of the many online comments, before somebody else claimed she 'can't wait for her life'.
A third social media user even suggested that the OnlyFans model's presence essentially 'promoted' sex work - given the nature of the platform she makes bags and bags of money from.
Mercifully, in amongst the controversy were scattered fans in Rain's corner, with some arguing that the modelling industry is 'rapidly shifting' and that her inclusion reflects its 'ongoing transformation'.
"Crushed it" and "insane job," read two of the kinder reactions.
Which brings us to Rain's own clapback.
Having witnessed all of the online noise for herself, she went on to share a video on her social media accounts, capturing her stood beside a luxurious swimming pool in the sun totally unbothered.
Rain was sporting a white T-shirt and denim shorts, overlaid with text that read 'making the entire internet mad that I walked Miami Swim Week'.
She also remarked that 'bops can be models too' in reference to the Bop House - a content creator collective launched in 2024 by herself and influencer Aishah Sofey.
This comes in light of allegations that a famous basketball star offered Rain millions of dollars to take her virginity.
In an interview with TMZ, she revealed that she gave the unnamed sportsman a firm 'no', which led him to apparently 'ghost' her.
"I can't say [who it was]. I can say, he's on a basketball team," she teased.
When pressed further on which team specifically, Rain once again opted to keep schtum.
"I don't want to ruin anyone's career."
