OnlyFans Star Sophie Rain Slams Pete Davidson for Mocking Millionaire Women Influencers Without Naming Names
Rain says Davidson underestimates the work behind successful creator businesses

OnlyFans creator Sophie Rain has hit back at Pete Davidson after the comedian criticised female influencers who earn millions online, challenging him to name people he was targeting.
Davidson recently went viral after questioning how some women can reportedly make tens of millions of dollars through social media. During the discussion, he mocked women who post 'get ready with me' content and TikTok videos, questioning what they actually contribute while describing the situation as evidence that 'the world's broken'.
Rain, who believes Davidson's remarks sounded particularly targeted towards successful women on OnlyFans, has now challenged him to try making that kind of money himself.
Sophie Rain Says Pete Davidson Should Try It Himself
Rain responded after seeing a clip of Davidson's comments online, writing '@me next time' before expanding on her criticism.
She argued that Davidson appeared to believe people become wealthy through online content without understanding the amount of work involved behind the scenes.
'I'd tell him that if it's really that easy, he should go do it,' Rain said, adding that Davidson had even joked about starting an OnlyFans account himself.
Rain also criticised the comedian for not identifying the women he was talking about. 'If you're going to complain about girls making millions online, you might as well say who you're talking about,' she said, describing his decision to speak generally as cowardly.
Davidson Questioned How Influencers Make Millions
Davidson's original comments were made during a recent interview in which he discussed his frustration with internet culture.
'Girls are just talking to themselves on there,' he said, questioning what some creators actually do while referring to women who reportedly make around $40 million a year.
He also criticised TikTok creators who perform short dances or other viral content, asking why people considered the activity worthwhile.
Davidson then jokingly suggested that he could start an OnlyFans account himself instead of continuing with acting and comedy, adding another layer to his criticism of the creator economy.
Rain Says Her Online Career Is More Work Than It Looks
Rain argued that judging an online business purely by its finished videos ignores the work required to build and maintain a large audience.
She said her routine involves filming, editing, planning content, communicating with fans, studying analytics, organising shoots, travelling and coordinating with her team.
'Just because the finished product looks effortless doesn't mean it was effortless to make,' she said.
Rain also said there are days when she works from the moment she wakes up until she goes to bed. Her reported annual earnings of around $45 million, however, are based on claims attributed to Rain rather than independently audited financial records.
Rain's Criticism Has Added Fuel to the Debate
Rain's response has turned Davidson's criticism into a broader argument about what constitutes work in the modern creator economy.
Supporters of Davidson argue that he was criticising a culture in which relatively simple-looking online content can generate enormous incomes. Others believe influencers are running businesses based on audience development, marketing, branding and constant engagement, even when the finished product appears effortless.
Online reaction has remained divided, with some users defending Davidson's point while others questioned why female creators are singled out for criticism.
Rain ultimately suggested that Davidson's comments were simply not very funny. 'I don't think saying women are doing "nothing" because you don't understand their jobs is particularly clever,' she said. 'There are definitely better jokes.'
For now, Davidson has not publicly responded to Rain's criticism, leaving the unlikely influencer-versus-comedian clash playing out largely through social media.
