OnlyFans star Annie Knight is set to get married next year — but some of her closest friends have turned down the chance to be her bridesmaids.
Speaking to Australia’s Mamamia on Thursday, November 20, the content creator, 28, explained why some of her potential bridesmaids had to say “no” to being by her side at the altar when she ties the knot with fiancé Henry Brayshaw.
Knight recalled receiving a phone call from the women in her life, who then informed her that they were being forced to pull out of bridesmaids duties in order to protect their careers.
“They were devastated,” Knight recalled, telling Mamamia that her friends’ bosses were worried about what it would look like for them to be associated with the controversial OnlyFans star.

She continued, “It wasn’t a decision they made lightly. They were honored to be chosen, but ultimately, due to their own careers, they couldn’t be featured so close to me.”
While Knight admitted she initially “started questioning everything” about their friendships, she ultimately understood why her friends had to make the tough decision to distance themselves during the nuptials for the sake of their careers.
“Now it’s easy for me to understand and accept. I know how important careers are. If there was ever a situation where my career was at stake, I’d do anything I could to save [it],” she added.
According to Mamamia, Knight will now have six bridesmaids at her wedding. Those who chose not to be in the bridal party itself, will still be involved in her big day in a not-as-official capacity.
Knight and Brayshaw announced their engagement in March this year, shortly after making their relationship official. The couple met while they were both working in a Melbourne pub in 2016 and are set to exchange vows on the Gold Coast in the Australian state of Queensland in 2026.
“Most of the wedding is planned at the moment. As soon as I got engaged, I was like, ‘We need to plan this so I can chill for the next year,’” Knight told Jana Hocking’s “Saucy Secrets” podcast in October. “Pretty much have everything organized. It’s going to be on the Gold Coast and it’s going to be in October next year.”

In August, Knight exclusively shared details with Us Weekly of how the wedding planning was coming together.
“I’ve got my wedding spreadsheet going,” she told Us at the time. “There’s a few little last-minute details that I need to do, like the cake and the bridesmaids dresses and whatnot, but it’s going to be a medium-sized wedding [with] 80 people. We’re not sparing any expense. But surprisingly, it hasn’t been as bad as I thought in terms of price.”
Knight, who made headlines after sleeping with 583 men in six hours in May, also told Us that Brayshaw is completely supportive of her career.
“I think it has really made Henry and I just have amazing communication,” Knight told Us. “I think we have the best communication of anyone ever in the history of the world. In order for it to work the way that it does, that’s all we need is communication.”
