Lily Phillips has sparked further concern after making a devastating comment about her opinion of herself.
The 23-year-old OnlyFans star from Derbyshire admitted in a new interview that her self-worth is “out of the window” after she slept with 101 men in a day in an extreme ‘challenge’. Lily, who has since gone viral for her comments about the ‘sex marathon’, responded: “None of it, mate,” when podcast host Shizzio asked about her self-esteem.
She added: “I don’t even know what self-respect means at this point.” Later in the interview, she told the podcaster: “I think I just don’t know the meaning of it” before stressing: “I respect myself, I guess.” Their conversation has been shared widely on social media, with the clip racking up more than 250,000 views.
But some viewers revealed they were left crying following Lily’s ‘painful’ confession – and it is not the first time she has left people worried. One wrote: “I just want to hug her” while another said: “Wow. This one is painful.” Another viewer said: “I feel so sorry for her” alongside a crying face emoji.
Lily previously opened up about her viral challenge – which saw her sleep with 101 men over the course of a single day back in October – in a YouTube film titled, ‘I Slept With 100 Men in One Day’. The film later forced the star to defend herself as ‘mentally strong’ as viewers raised concern for her welfare.

In it, she explained how she and her team pulled off the event, from ID checks to working with last-minute cancellations. HShe also emotionally addressed producer Josh Pieters, warning viewers that the performance was “not for the weak.”
The former University of Sheffield student tearfully said: “It’s not for the weak girls if I’m honest – it was hard. I don’t know if I’d recommend it. It’s a different feeling. It’s just one in one out, it feels intense.”
Josh asked if it was more intense than she thought and she broke down, saying: “Definitely.” But despite getting emotional in the clip, Lily reassured fans that she is healthy and mentally strong. Speaking on the documentary, Lily explained her reasoning behind her niche and said: “You have to stand out with unique content. You have to be different… Because there are so many people on OnlyFans.”
In a later response to the widespread concern about her well-being after the teary appearance on YouTube, Lily recently told the Daily Star: “I mean, obviously, I was quite emotional [in the documentary] and just very, very overwhelmed. But, yes, my mental wellbeing is really good and physical health is really good.
“The thing is, I’m not a victim, so I don’t deserve this sympathy. I would much rather people put their efforts into someone who’s an actual victim. And so it just makes me feel a little bit sad because I feel like I’m taking a lot of energy away from someone who actually needs help.”

After completing her first challenge, she is now gearing up for her next ambition – to sleep with 1,000 men in a day this month. The young star is said to be “in training” for the physically and emotionally demanding event, and her plans have upset her following.
In an interview on the Reality Check Show podcast, she described the logistics of organising such a ‘challenge’ as ‘insane’. Lily is even hoping to beat her target, as she admitted: “I’ll try and just get the thousand in as quick as possible and hoping it’s gonna take me like 15, 16, 17 hours.”
Viewers of the podcast were concerned for Lily, with one commenter writing, “You make me want to cry.” Another said, “No, Lily, please, honey, you don’t want to do this. You are so much more.”
The newfound drive to create extreme content has raised concerns with fellow creators and viewers. Film star Alex Le Tissier, who appeared in the doc, said: “I just think it’s really sad. I just worry about her mental health. I’m hoping it’s a hoax and it’s not going to actually happen, I don’t know. From what I’ve seen of her. I think she’s young and beautiful, I just don’t think she has to sleep with a hundred guys in one day for attention.”

Online critics are now even calling for the platform to be banned as more stars push boundaries to attract and maintain subscribers, with seemingly very little in the way of safeguarding. The Mirror has put these concerns to OnlyFans and has asked for clarity on their safeguarding measures with no response.
Experts have warned that the current online landscape, which favours viral content, could be putting creators at risk. Cyberstalking expert specialist Demelza Luna Reaver, of The Cyber Helpline, told the Mirror: “In terms of the trends developing, there are always concerns that these can become quite dangerous. And when I say dangerous, I mean in terms of security and safety.
“More personal information is being shared. I know that in the documentary there was a conversation around personal commissioning for videos. One-to-one videos, and so on. And it’s ensuring that, if this is participated in, what level of detail is being shared? Is there still a safety barrier between the creator and the person who is purchasing that video or any type of content for that person? Or are they sharing personal details with a person online that they’ve never met, and it could put them at risk in the future?”
