A racy model who started life on TikTok doing boob bouncing videos now rakes in more than $2million (£1.56m) generating adult content.
Like many of her friends at the time Ashley Matheson set herself up with a TikTok account in 2019. And, like many of her friends, she posted videos of her performing the latest dance trends on the platform.
But there was one thing that caught the attention and gained her a lot of followers, she didn’t wear a bra for her routines. And at around 5ft 10, weighing just over 100lbs, but having a D-cup chest, her movement was very noticeable.

There's lots of quality news coming out of the US.
The Canada native who set up a new life in the US, made steady progress gaining a million fans on the platform, but one incident saw her popularity exploding.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Ashley admits she has just ridden in on the perfect storm as platforms have taken off at just the right time for her. At just 22 years old she is already a self-made millionaire and shows no sign of letting up with her entrepreneurial enterprises.
She hosts a regular podcast with fellow OnlyFans stars called Hotter Ones, where participants are asked spicier questions, and remove an item of clothing if they don't want to answer one.
Ashley, known as Smashedely online, talked us through her meteoric rise.
"Back in my graduate year of high school a bunch of friends were downloading TikTok, and back then it was really dance oriented," she said.
"Almost within the first couple of months I realized that there was a bit of a cheat code being a young girl, just turned 18.
"There was a lot of different ways that I could engage my following. So lots of dances, braless. And slowly but surely I started building up a following.
"I think within the first two months I had hit 10K, and that was the first time I saw a 'k' beside my following, instead of it just being like a couple thousand people.
"At that time I was pretty seriously into modelling. I grew up modelling, I started around age 14. So my Instagram looked pretty professional when it comes to being on social media.
"I had a lot of different photoshoot photos, so a lot of my followers from TikTok began spilling over into Instagram. And then I just thought 'wait a minute, if I keep this up I may be able to build a following'."
Ashley said the influencer culture wasn't like it is now and was more focussed on YouTubers, but within six months of her being on the platform some TikTokers have developed into 'micro celebrities'.
Within a year she steadily made her way up to one million followers on the platform, but then one of her videos went super viral with more than 200 million views, and she saw her following quickly rocket up to more than seven million.
Ashley was shooting one of her dance videos but during the shoot she landed awkwardly on a tripod in what appeared to be an intimate area.
"I posted it and thought nothing of it, but within a week I went from having one million followers to having five million," she said. "But that really changed my life in all aspects.
"I started having brands reach out to me, management companies, people wanted to help me make money off of this.
"I was going to college for interior design and I kind of realized halfway through my second year, I think, that I have a different career path already planned out for me.
"I was making better income than almost my parents at that point. I was making roughly a hundred thousand dollars a year off of brand deals and audio promotions. So I dropped out of school and I started coming out to LA."
But despite her income being significant, she had sat on the idea of taking her sauciness to the next level and signed up for OnlyFans. She said with her confidence through modelling, it wasn't something that phased her.
But now it has become her main income stream, which sees her making more than $2million (£1.56m) before tax per year.
"I definitely sat on the idea for a few years," she said. "I think my biggest regret is not doing it sooner, I think I put it off until I was 21.
"But I do think if I had started my OnlyFans right after I posted that tripod video, I think I would be in a completely different situation now."
But in spite of her hesitancy Ashley says she's very happy with her lot. "I don't like to live with regrets. I like to live with lessons," she said.
