Revealed: Nick Kyrgios made OnlyFans videos with tennis star who stunned the sport with bombshell sex-work confession

Aussie tennis bad boy Nick Kyrgios has hosted a reality show for OnlyFans TV alongside American star Sachia Vickery, who this week revealed she's making a fortune by selling raunchy content on the platform. Vickery has carved out a successful side career, selling steamy photos of herself and charging men a $1000 deposit to date her. She joined adult content site OnlyFans earlier this year, breaking the news to her fans in a bombshell update on her Instagram. 'Tennis anyone? OF link in my bio Big project and features coming soon ( p.s happy Valentine's Day ),' the announcement read, alongside a racy snap of her in far-from-traditional tennis whites. For $12.99 a month, subscribers have access to 'the content too spicy for Instagram,' according to Vickery's OnlyFans bio, which also describes her as 'your favorite pro tennis player.' Her platform teases her 'longest shower vid yet,' stripteases and 'spicier' pictures, while also asking her fans to rate her 'riding skills' as she shares risque videos and saucy snaps. Vickery has banked just over $2million throughout her 14-year career on the court. Outside of the sport, she asks for a $1,000 deposit fee to date her. 'I no longer date for free due to the behavior of men I now require a pre-date deposit send me 1,000 and we can make it happen my cashapp is $Sachiavick,' she told her 39,400 followers during an Instagram Q&A session earlier this week. Earlier this year, Vickery starred in a four-part OnlyFans TV series, which is co-hosted by Kyrgios and reality TV star Sophie Stonehouse. It also stars adult actress Rachel Starr. The show, Smash City, sees the OnlyFans creators hit the Pickleball court in an attempt to win $20,000 in prize money. The show was first teased by Kyrgios on March 1 in a clip featuring him and Starr enjoying a pickleball game. 'Who's your money on? Tennis meets Pickleball,' the post was captioned. 'I enjoyed hosting it, and I love competition in general,' Kyrgios said. Kyrgios isn't just a fan of Pickleball - he has also invested in the on-trend sport. Vickery hit back at her critics with a raunchy post on her Instagram after the news broke. Taking to her Instagram story on Wednesday, Vickery shared a video of herself in a bikini with the caption: 'Imagine hating me and I'm in my room like this everyday'. The following post on her Instagram story appeared to promote her OnlyFans page. While Vickery's move may have sent ripples through the tennis world, she has no regrets. She previously revealed that she's always seen herself as something of a revolutionary - and she referenced how she and Kyrgios differ in the way they use OnlyFans. 'I've always pushed boundaries,' she said on the Black Spin Global podcast earlier this year. 'I've always been outspoken about racial hate I get online, bodyshaming. I'm very open about a lot of stuff. 'I'm still playing tennis, my career is still going but I also want to do things outside of tennis. I'm starting to explore more opportunities on social media.' 'Obviously there are levels to OnlyFans, you have athletes like Nick [Kyrgios] and Alex [Muller] who are going to be posting tennis content for the most part and then you have the other complete extreme, which I'm not. I'm in that middle gap,' she added. 'I set it up in January and it just took off. Being a tennis player definitely helped my marketing. I'm at a stage where I don't do the absolute most on there but I'm comfortable as I need to be. I'm doing really well. 'Obviously, I'm going to get some negative feedback but that's just normal. Whatever you do in life there's always going to be some criticism. If I was doing nothing I'd be getting criticism, so I might as well get on the platform and make money while I'm at it.' Yet as she stepped onto the Grand Slam stage in Flushing Meadows again this week, Vickery once again hit back at her critics. 'I'm very open-minded and I don't care what people think of me … it's also the easiest money I've ever made and I enjoy doing it,' said Vickery when asked about balancing the two entirely different worlds together in an Instagram Q&A session. 'I will never talk s*** about girls on OnlyFans ever again for the rest of my life. Because the amount I made on there in my first two days, I am overwhelmed. I am just shook really.'
