Renee Gracie is rakin’ in the cash from OnlyFans and porn … but that wasn’t always the case for the adult film star — telling TMZ Sports her former career as a race car driver was so toxic it forced her to quit the sport altogether.
We talked to the 26-year-old Australian about her time as a driver down under … and why she transitioned to porn.
“I left for many reasons. It was a toxic environment. Difficult for a female obviously. I got treated differently than everybody else,” Gracie says … “It was just an extremely taxing environment and industry to be in unfortunately for my mental health.”
Gracie’s story is amazing. She used to be a driver for Paul Morris Motorsport racing team … where she raced for several years. In 2017, she jumped to another team, Dragon Motor Sport.
Renee eventually left the sport but admits she was down on her luck for a while before turning to OnlyFans.
“I had a bad year in between where I wasn’t racing. I wasn’t racing. I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I was lucky enough when I left racing my fan base actually grew. I had more people following me. I wasn’t controlled by managers and sponsors and stuff.”
Despite the stressful experience as a racer, Gracie tells us there are certain aspects she misses, saying “I really miss that exhilarating pressure and the push to always be better. That’s why I started racing.”
But, despite sometimes pining for the speed and competition … the adult film star says she’s absolutely confident she made the right career decision.
And we bet there are a whole lot of fans out there who agree.
