Scars of a Shark Attack and a Million-Dollar Success: Autumn Renae’s Story

Some stories leave their mark—literally. For Autumn Renae, a model and creator on OnlyFans, her scar is not just a reminder of a shark attack when she was four years old, but also a frequent topic among her fans. In a recent interview on the OnlyStans podcast, focused on the OnlyFans phenomenon, the model revealed that her arm’s distinctive scar generates both intense and often misguided questions.

“I was bitten by a shark when I was four years old,” shared Autumn. However, what surprises her most is how her subscribers interpret it. “A lot of times, they ask me, ‘Do you need to talk?’ They think I tried to kill myself because of this huge scar,” she explained.

The attack happened under the iconic St. Pete Pier in St. Petersburg, Florida—a location she doesn’t recall fondly. “Nothing good happens in St. Pete. You can’t see what’s underwater, and that’s the problem,” she added with a nervous laugh.

Success Despite the Scars

While the scar is visible in some of her explicit videos, it hasn’t hindered Autumn’s incredible rise on OnlyFans. Since launching her account, she’s earned over $1,000,000 USD and purchased a house with two acres of land. In a romantic gesture, she even bought a truck for her high school sweetheart, who remains her boyfriend. Interestingly, she still drives the old car her parents gifted her at 16.

From Glamorous Photos to Adult Content Queen

Autumn’s transition into adult content seemed almost natural, she explained. “I was a lucky girl. When I was 17, I loved social media. I enjoyed posting topless photos and wearing tiny bikinis, so I gained followers and was playing around with them for years without even realizing it.”

What started as a way to fund her college education quickly turned into a full-time career. Today, Autumn offers everything from personalized video chats to explicit content, which has brought her massive financial success.

Still, her fans’ curiosity about her personal story remains a recurring theme. “As soon as I take off my shirt, everything revolves around the scar and the story behind it,” said Autumn, who has come to embrace both the questions and her own uniqueness.
