OnlyFans star Annie Knight is on the mend after she was hospitalized following an event in which she slept with 583 men in six hours.
“I don’t have really any answers or anything like that, but I am feeling a lot better,” Knight, 28, exclusively told Us Weekly on Sunday, June 8. “All my symptoms seem to have finally stopped, but only really as of three days ago. It’s lasted a fair while. But yeah, I’m feeling a lot better, which is good.”
Knight told Us that while it was necessary to seek the help of medical professionals, it was also “frustrating” because they were bringing up the 583 men challenge rather than focusing on her endometriosis or other health concerns.
“I was like, ‘Well, that doesn’t make sense, that it’s the challenge.’ And I kept telling them, ‘It can’t have been the challenge because I’ve been having these issues since January and I only did the challenge in May,’” Knight recalled. “It was frustrating that they were just trying to mostly just associate everything with the challenge and say, ‘It’s the challenge, it’s the challenge.’”
She continued, “So that was frustrating — that they just wouldn’t really listen to me. And then, in the end, they were like, ‘Oh yeah, it wasn’t the challenge.’ And I was like, ‘I told you.’”
Days after her event last month, Knight told Us that her body “just hit a wall.” She explained that she was “exhausted” from organizing the challenge while simultaneously buying her “dream house” with fiancé Henry Brayshaw. Knight explained at the time that her endometriosis became “worse,” noting that “hormonal imbalances can cause irregular and heavy periods” — which is what she has been “dealing with since.”
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), endometriosis is a chronic disease in which lining similar to that found in the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing a variety of symptoms including chronic pelvic pain, painful periods and sexual intercourse, depression, anxiety and infertility.
Looking back at her health battle over the past few months, Knight shared with Us that it has “for sure” taken a toll on her mental health.
“I think toward the beginning it wasn’t so bad, because I was like, ‘Oh, well, this can’t last forever. Like, it’ll be fine.’ It just went on and it went on, and then I blinked, and it was halfway through the year. I was like, ‘How am I still suffering? I don’t have answers and no one seems to know how to help me,’” she said. “It was starting to get really difficult. I haven’t felt really like myself in months.”
She continued, “A couple of days ago when I started to feel a bit better, I was really scared to be like, ‘Oh yeah, I’m starting to feel better,’ because I don’t want to jinx it. But I think hopefully now I’m sort of on the road to recovery and I can start getting back into my normal routine. I haven’t been able to go to the gym. I haven’t been able to do the things that I love doing, so it’ll be good to be able to do all those things again.”
