Anna Paul has broken down in tears over losing a person she loves ‘who hurt her badly’.
The TikTok and OnlyFans megastar, 25, shared the heartbreaking personal news with her millions of social media followers on Wednesday.
‘Basically someone I loved a lot hurt me more than you can imagine,’ Anna began in a raw one-minute TikTok video of herself.
‘And turns out they’re not the person I thought they were, but I still love them, and I can’t stop loving them.’
The 25-year-old’s face was streaked with tears as she made the vulnerable revelations from the comfort of her bed.
‘This happened months ago and I don’t know how to stop loving them,’ she added.
Just days ago, Anna sparked engagement rumours with her new boyfriend Aymeric Urbain by shopping for rings.
She was updating her fans on her travels and shared an image of her in a jewellery store.
She sat in front of a case full of diamond rings, with a sign on the wall reading, ‘Yes’.

This led her followers to believe that Anna may have been looking for some engagement bling.
‘Nooo the rings. It was supposed to be Glenn,’ wrote one fan, referring to Anna’s ex boyfriend, Glen Thompson, who she split with in August last year.
The top comment on her new video, which has already racked up more than 347,000 likes in a little more than 12 hours, said the video is ‘Definitely [about] Glen.’

But Anna dispelled this theory as she continued her tearful confession.
‘You don’t know this person. I promise you. You have never seen them. I’ve never posted them. You don’t know them,’ Anna told her fans in the video.
‘I miss them so much and they don’t even exist.’
‘Like they’re, not even real,’ she added.
‘The person they showed me they were wasn’t the person they are actually are.’

Anna said the person who broke her heart ‘months and months ago’ isn’t a person who her fans know or have ever seen
The social media star tried to end her video on a lighter note and explained her reasoning behind sharing the clip.
‘And if you’re going through something similar, it’s okay. It’s a part of life. Um, and that’s why I’m making this to show you also, like, it’s okay,’ she said.
‘We can cry about it still – for months and months and months – and we can think we’re over it and then we’re not.
‘And you can think you’re over it and then you miss them. And you think you’re over it and then you cry. But it’s a part of life.’
‘It’s fine I’m living great,’ she added sarcastically. ‘Basically. You’re not alone, number one. And number two, does anyone have any advice? That’s all.’
Anna’s voice broke as she said the mysterious heartbreaker isn’t ‘real’ and she had to wipe tears away from her eyes multiple times as she was talking.
‘I think it was her pen pal that she mentioned in a few videos,’ one follower suggested in the comments.
Most of Anna’s fans flocked to the comments to offer kind words, empathise with her overwhelming emotions and to share their own heartbreak experiences about significant others, family members, and friends.
While some others argued with one another about whether they believed the influencer had only said her fans didn’t know the person ‘to protect him’.
‘Anna, you’re such a pretty crier,’ one person commented.
‘The botox bby [sic] my forehead will move for nothing,’ Anna replied cheekily while not engaging with the other comments.
Anna has been posting snippets of her life on the internet since she was 12-years-old.
She now has a cumulative 9.6million followers across her social media platforms and her vlogs have documented her transformation from a ‘broke’ schoolgirl to a wealthy skincare entrepreneur.
Anna has earned praise and adoration from young girls for her ‘girl-next-door’ content and body-positive messaging on social media.
However, the Gold Coast-based influencer has also encountered her fair share of backlash because she’s been open about how funds her extravagant lifestyle by selling sexually explicit OnlyFans content.
Just last year, Anna dropped her skincare line, Paullie, which drew a whopping six-figure waitlist when it was announced.
Just like her cult online following, Paullie gained its own and has found a lot of love among fans and fellow creators, with the notable exception of fellow Aussie TikToker Kat Clark.
