Heidi Croft, 18, Heidi’s daughter, has spoken out for the first time to defend her mother Kerry from the “hate” she receives from the racy website OnlyFans.
Kerry Katona’s daughter, Heidi, is speaking out against trolls who have labelled her mother a “prostitute” and “trollop”. The Atomic Kitten singer’s tumultuous life has been widely reported over the years, from her relationships to an abusive partner and financial difficulties that led to her being declared bankrupt twice.
Heidi, 18, is adamant: “I couldn’t do OnlyFans, despite her mother’s success on OnlyFans. I’ve been told by my mother that I can’t either. I want to practice law or develop real estate, so this is not the path I want to take.
“Mum sometimes struggles with men seeing her in that sexual way. I wouldn’t like that at all. I’ve not paid to see her pictures on there, that would be weird, but I know what she does.”
In her first interview, the teenager asserts: “They should realise Kerry Katona is now rolling in it – she drives a Lamborghini. I couldn’t be prouder of her. She has worked so hard. People forget OnlyFans is just a new thing; she has been singing, doing reality work and TV appearances for nearly 25 years. She has never stopped. She put us through private school, we go on amazing holidays, she just bought me clothes for the weekend.”
OnlyFans has also contributed to the purchase of a five-bedroom detached house in Cheshire. Kerry’s upbringing in nearby Warrington was far less luxurious.
The 44 year old, who grew up in foster care, resorted to topless modelling and lap dancing to make ends meet before landing her big break in music. She has starred in her own reality shows, won I’m A Celeb, and appeared on Big Brother and Dancing On Ice.
In April, a fter making millions on adult subscription site OnlyFans, Kerry says her work on the X-rated platform is a non-negotiable when it comes to romantic relationships. The mum-of-five has been making money on OnlyFans since 2020 and charges $24.99 a month for fans to subscribe to her platform.
At the time, following the news that boxer Nicola Adams’ split from her partner Ella Baig was impacted by the latter’s career on OnlyFans, Kerry explained whether the career path has ever caused her issues in relationships, and how she will handle it with any future partners.
Kerry, who split from her fiancé Ryan Mahoney in November last year, wrote in her New! Magazine column: “I was sad to hear about Nicola Adams splitting up with her partner Ella Baig – I hope they’re both doing OK. I read that Nicola said Ella’s OnlyFans career impacted their relationship, which is a shame.
Because I do OnlyFans, it didn’t have a negative impact on our relationship when we were with Ryan, and we both knew that.
Kerry continued, “I don’t know the potential problems it could cause, but if I do meet someone new, it’s something they’re going to need to accept,” adding that it won’t be something that should be discussed with potential partners. They would need to understand that because it is what I do and how I make money for my kids.
Kerry has previously outlined how her work on the website helped her transition from a near-bankruptcy to thriving financially. She has previously discussed the positives she has gained from it.
Detailing how the platform changed her life, , Kerry explained to The Sun in 2021: “It’s been amazing for my career, I haven’t stopped working. When I first did it I said to the kids ‘I’m going to do this, and I’m going to go topless – if anyone has any problems, let me know’
Our Lilly, the former Atomic Kitten singer, continued, “wait until the money comes in and see how you feel about it. “
And once the money started flowing, they were all on their iPads and running awry! A Lamborghini Urus will be available in March, too, for myself.
