LOS ANGELES – OnlyFans creator Annie Knight, 28, has spoken out about her recovery following a recent hospitalization that drew widespread media attention. The hospitalization came after an event in May where she reportedly slept with 583 men in six hours, a claim that quickly went viral and sparked intense public scrutiny.
In an exclusive statement to US Weekly on Sunday, June 8, Knight confirmed she is now “feeling a lot better,” although her recovery took longer than expected.
“All my symptoms seem to have finally stopped, but only really as of three days ago. It’s lasted a fair while,” she shared. “But yeah, I’m feeling a lot better, which is good.”
Knight pushes back on medical assumptions
Knight expressed frustration with how medical professionals linked her symptoms solely to the 583-men challenge, rather than considering her pre-existing health conditions.
“It was frustrating that they were just trying to mostly associate everything with the challenge,” she said. “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.’”
Eventually, she said doctors acknowledged that her symptoms were not related to the challenge, validating her concerns.
Ongoing battle with endometriosis
She revealed that she suffers from endometriosis, a chronic and painful condition that she believes played a key role in her recent health struggles.
“My body just hit a wall,” Knight previously told media, describing how the combination of managing the viral event and purchasing her dream home with fiancé Henry Brayshaw pushed her to the brink. She cited hormonal imbalances and worsening endometriosis symptoms, including irregular and heavy periods.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), endometriosis can cause chronic pelvic pain, painful menstruation and intercourse, and mental health challenges like depression and anxiety—all of which Knight has faced in recent months.
Mental health toll
Reflecting on her journey, Knight admitted that the experience has had a significant impact on her mental health.
“It’s for sure taken a toll,” she said, without elaborating further.
As she continues to recover and speak candidly about her condition, Knight’s story has stirred discussions around women’s health, media sensationalism, and the public’s treatment of online creators.
Us Weekly reports that Knight is now focused on healing, setting clearer health boundaries, and prioritizing well-being in both her personal and professional life.
