OnlyFans veteran Renee Gracie has accused former MAFS star Hayley Vernon of stealing her business idea.
Both Renee and Hayley have legions of subscribers on OnlyFans, and both women make a significant amount of money off the platform. However, Renee believes that Hayley copied her idea and leveraged it to rack up additional subscribers.
According to Daily Mail, Renee ran an ad for her new Instagram page in order to boost followers, and to point the followers toward her OF account. The ad ran on Radio Metro, where Hayley works as an announcer.
“I only had about fifty or sixty thousand people, and I grew it to about 130,000 in three months, so it obviously worked really well,” she told the publication.
Renee’s ad was successful, and Hayley launched her own ad on the same channel for her Instagram account.
“It [the ad] was something I was obviously going to continue with, and unfortunately Hayley had the idea to do the exact same thing at the exact same radio station and the exact same program that I was running mine on,’ Renee explained.
She added, “obviously it was a bit of a shock to the system. And then I found out she’d also posted it on her Instagram page claiming that it was her idea and she’s the first person to do it and she’s making money moves.

“I thought it was pretty disappointing seeing that we’re in the exact same industry, to have no clarification or communication from her.”
Renee told Daily Mail that the only contact she’s had with Hayley was when the latter first launched her OF account in 2020.
“Hayley called me asking for money advice and tax advice and just help generally,” she said.
“That was pretty much the only time we had ever interacted and I never really crossed paths with her since.”
