Motorsports star Renee Gracie has opened up about the shocking reality of being a woman in the very male-dominated industry.
The OnlyFans model, 29, appeared on breakfast radio Thursday morning to reveal the brutal treatment she received for being female and how little money she made.
She told The Kyle and Jackie O Show she was often verbally and physically harassed by crowd members and other drivers who would spit and throw beer cans at her.
‘Being a female in a male-dominated sport, I lost my passion. I got over it,’ the V8 driver told hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson.
When they asked if the men ‘gave her a hard time’ and told her she ‘didn’t deserve to be there’, she said: ‘Absolutely. Every day, say it to my face.’

‘I had beer cans thrown at me, I got spat at, you name it. Dads and drivers. It was full on for many years.
‘Seven years of just being battered and bruised and constantly harassed. It was really tough. Eventually it wore me down.
‘It got to the point where I was just well and truly over it after seven years and I was down and out. I left. I walked away.’

After leaving the sport she once loved to pursue other career avenues, Renee made the decision to join OnlyFans and sell adult content to her fans.
She told Kyle, 52, and Jackie, 49, she has lost count of the ‘millions’ she’s earned on the site over the years, though it has previously been reported she hit $10million.
When the radio hosts asked how much money the adult entertainer made when she was a motorsports racer, Renee revealed she earned ‘zero dollars and zero cents’.

‘I raised money and sponsorships to go racing so I can say that I had a successful racing career where I actually made money,’ she explained.
‘But every cent went back into my motorsport program.’
The two-time Bathurst 1000 starter has since made a very successful return to racing following her seven-year hiatus, with OnlyFans as her sponsor.
Renee won the Trophy Series in GT World Challenge Australia this year as part of the SpeedSeries and has been given a Silver ranking by the FIA.
