I’m 70 and my daughter won’t speak to me because of my VERY ‘adult’ side-hustle – but I don’t care’
A GLAMOROUS gran says she has found a new lease of life thanks to her racy side hustle – but her daughter won't speak to her.
Michelle Hardenbrook, 70 – who had a hip replacement in April – earns thousands a month stripping off for younger men on subscriber site OnlyFans.

“My family have not spoken to me in years. If I told them about this it would reinforce the belief that 'Michelle is just weird'.
“I am an oddity and I know that. There are not that many women that are over the age of 60 that do this kind of work.”
Michelle, of Louisiana, US, used to work as a secretary for $6.50 (around £5.80) an hour, and struggled to buy food for her family.
After losing her job aged 56 she turned to sensual massage to make ends meet.
Now instead of retiring she has found a lucrative new career on OnlyFans.
She uses the money to support her son, who became disabled aged 35 from a debilitating heart condition.
Michelle said: “I’m proud of my success. I feel like I have finally found the thing I’m good at.
“I never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. When you get to be in your late 50s and you still don’t know it is very disheartening."
She added: “My son is aware of it and he is OK with it.
“But my daughter has not spoken to me in 20 years. I am sure if she found out what I’m doing now she would have more ammunition not to speak to me.
“Because in her mind anything bad in her life that’s happened is because of me but it’s absolutely the opposite.
“My son says if it wasn’t for me he would be dead.
“It pained me a lot in my heart for ten years that my daughter feels so bad about me but she is an adult.
“It’s her choice but it’s also her loss.”
Michelle is also open enjoying sex in later life.
She is soon to move to California to be closer to her boyfriend.
She said: “Sex does change as you get older. You have to make certain adjustments but it can still be so fulfilling and so pleasurable and so much fun.
“I don’t think you should stop once you hit a certain age.
“So many women, especially once they hit menopause, they are done. But not me.”
