Australian basketball star Liz Cambage is one of the latest stars to join adult subscription site OnlyFans.
Cambage joins the likes of former V8 Supercars driver Renee Gracie, surfer Ellie-Jean Coffey and countless reality stars on the platform.
And Cambage appears ready to drop some racy shots, having modelled for Playboy, posed naked for Sport Illustrated's Body Issue and sharing countless saucy snaps on her Instagram as one of the faces of singer Rihanna's lingerie label Savage X Fenty.
It comes after the Australian basketball superstar has dealt with a year of controversy.

Cambage has been a passionate and outspoken advocate for the Black Lives Matter movement, including issuing fiery messages for Aussies to support the movement in the wake of George Floyd's death.
But before the Olympics, it came to a head when Cambage threatened to boycott the Tokyo Olympics after a promotional photo before the Games featuring mostly white athletes.

Cambage wrote at the time: "How am I meant to represent a country that doesn't even represent me".
While Cambage did agree to go to the Olympics, she didn't ultimately suit up at the Games, having withdrawn citing mental health issues, revealing she was "broken".
"The Olympics is Everest for every athlete," Cambage told HBO's The Shop: Uninterrupted.
"It was about to be my third, it was meant to be the one. Like, every Olympics is the one, Australia's gonna get a gold medal. And I'm like, 'I'm broken, guys'.
"I'm halfway through a WNBA season, I've been dealing with health issues, I've been having panic attacks and vomiting during WNBA games.
"My stress has been on a totally different level this year."
In the lead up to the Games, she was involved in a physical and verbal altercation with the Nigerian women's team during a scrimmage in Las Vegas and reportedly breached the Opals' bio-secure bubble, leading to Basketball Australia opening an investigation into her behaviour.

Earlier this month, Cambage was formally reprimanded for the drama, escaping a fine or suspension.
But a matter of weeks on from the incident, Cambage has made the bold move on to OnlyFans.
It's something she joked about back in April.
"The amount of money I could be making off OnlyFans is crazy," she told NBA trainer Chris Johnson on Instagram. "What am I doing sitting here?
"It would need to be called something else though.

"If I was going to do something like that, like sell members only content, I'd build my own base. Why not?"
Cambage has long been a champion of body and sexual positivity in the past.
"I've never embraced my sexuality in public," she said about her Playboy shoot. "Me doing Playboy is me celebrating my sexuality like, 'Yeah, I am a straight six-foot-eight (203cm) woman who likes to have sex'. I'm a human; it's what we do.
"As a female athlete, I feel like I'm not allowed to be sexy and I'm not allowed to be that person. All society wants from me is to sit down, shut up, go to training and play my sport."
Cambage has long considered her body to be "powerful", noting the feedback she received after posing in ESPN the Magazine's annual Body Issue — where she stripped off all her clothes in front of the camera — was "very interesting".
"People saw it as a very sexual thing, but to me, my body is powerful. We bring life into this world with our bodies yet we cover them up, when we're such powerful beings," Cambage said.
