Australian OnlyFans star Annie Knight, known as “Australia’s most sexually active woman,” was rushed to hospital on May 20, 2025, just two days after completing a jaw-dropping six-hour challenge on May 18, where she engaged in sexual activity with 583 men. The 28-year-old influencer, whose stunt obliterated her 2025 goal of sleeping with 1,000 men, revealed on Instagram that severe bleeding and physical exhaustion led to her hospitalization, as detailed in a recent report. The event, which skyrocketed her 680,000-strong following, has triggered intense debate over its physical toll, ethical ramifications, and influence on her young audience. Nuzpost delves into the fallout, Knight’s recovery, and the storm surrounding her provocative challenge.
A Risky Stunt with Dire Health Costs
Knight’s record-breaking challenge, held on the Gold Coast, aimed to involve 200 men but ballooned to 583 participants, shattering her previous daily high of 24. She self-funded the $10,000 event, covering venue, security, filmmakers, and condoms, and initially called it “the best day of my life” on Instagram. However, severe bleeding and exhaustion hit soon after, worsened by her pre-existing endometriosis, a condition causing painful tissue growth outside the uterus. From her hospital bed, hooked to monitors, Knight posted, “I guess 583 guys in a day isn’t that good for your body.”
In a follow-up interview, Knight admitted her body “hit a wall” due to sky-high cortisol levels and burnout, saying, “My body’s just gone, ‘Hey, high cortisol can’t function.’” Doctors ran blood tests and exams, uncertain whether the bleeding stemmed from the stunt or her endometriosis. Advised to rest for a week, Knight remains optimistic about her recovery, focusing on healing to avoid further complications.
A Logistical Marathon and Personal Toll
The stunt demanded intense planning, with Knight vetting over 2,000 male applicants in advance. Drawing on advice from fellow OnlyFans creator Bonnie Blue, who tackled a similar challenge, Knight managed logistics despite a no-show “fluffer” meant to prepare participants. She called the execution “shockingly easy,” producing 583 videos for her OnlyFans platform. The event, a bold move to boost her content, came with significant personal cost, as her health scare revealed the physical limits of such feats.
Knight’s fiancé, Henry Brayshaw, backed the stunt from afar, with the couple—engaged since March 2025 and planning an October 2026 wedding—embracing an open relationship to support her career. Defending the participants against online backlash, Knight said, “I’m providing a free service, and it upsets me when people attack the guys.” She stressed the consensual nature of the event, framing it as a professional milestone.
A Polarizing Spectacle
The challenge has split opinions. Supporters applaud Knight’s autonomy and savvy, noting her Instagram following jumped by 9,000 to 204,000 post-stunt. She pitched the event as empowering, saying it felt “really good” to offer a service participants valued. Critics, however, argue it perpetuates harmful stereotypes and objectifies women, with some labeling it “degrading” and worrying about its influence on young fans, especially teenage girls grappling with sexual identity.
Knight’s endometriosis, which can cause severe pain and complications, has heightened health concerns, with experts warning such extreme exertion could aggravate the condition. The stunt’s ethics are under scrutiny, with detractors arguing it prioritizes viral fame over well-being. Knight brushes off critics, focusing on recovery and her next content drop, but her hospitalization has amplified calls for caution in such high-stakes challenges.
Knight’s Rise to Infamy
Hailing from Melbourne, Knight gained notoriety after losing her marketing job over her OnlyFans side hustle. In 2024, she slept with 600 men, setting a 1,000-person goal for 2025, which she crushed early with this stunt. Her candidness about her lifestyle, including challenges finding partners accepting her work, has made her a divisive figure. Earlier in 2025, she told a magazine she views herself as a “teacher” guiding young men toward healthy sexual attitudes, a claim that stirred further controversy.
Her 2024 Schoolies collaboration with Bonnie Blue and plans for future challenges highlight her brand’s boldness, but the health scare raises questions about sustainability. Knight’s hospitalization may force a rethink of her high-risk approach, even as she remains a trailblazer in the OnlyFans space.
What Lies Ahead?
Knight plans to resume creating content post-recovery, leveraging the 583 videos to fuel her OnlyFans platform. Doctors are optimistic but urge caution, especially with her endometriosis. The stunt’s aftermath may temper future challenges, with Knight hinting at prioritizing health over intensity. The ongoing debate—celebrating her as a pioneer of sexual freedom or critiquing the costs of viral stunts—shows no signs of fading.
Knight’s saga highlights the blurred lines between personal agency, public influence, and physical limits in the digital era. As she heals, her next moves will shape whether this is a wake-up call or another bold step in her provocative journey.
