Gaming geek now earns £150k as a webcam girl and porn star… plus she’s got SIX virtual boyfriends
Harriet Sugarcookie used to spend up to six days playing on her computer console due to crippling social anxiety
A SELF-CONFESSED nerd who used to lock herself away in her bedroom and play videos games now makes £150,000 a year as an amateur porn star.
Harriet Sugarcookie, 21, who hails from Vietnam but now lives in London, used to spend up to six days playing on her computer console due to crippling social anxiety.
But, after a pal secretly shared a photograph of her on the Reddit thread ‘Next Door Asians’ in 2013, she was inundated with male attention and made friends online.
Three years on, Harriet makes thousands of pounds through webcamming and even has six virtual boyfriends.
She told : “I was honestly unpopular and lonely before I started camming.
“Since camming, I’ve made some really important friends, I’ve worked on my personal health and grooming and I’m a better person, in a better place.”
As a youngster, Harriet had low self-esteem and would spend her time playing video games including Pokemon, Final Fantasy and Skyrim.
She added: “When I found a game I really liked, I’d marathon it for hours and hours at a time.
”I had pretty low self-esteem, because I didn’t consider myself pretty in any way. I was more of a tomboy, and I wore loads of dark clothes and listened to angsty teen music.
“It didn’t help that I was incredibly shy, especially around men. I was very lonely before.”
