Vickery’s Controversial Side Career
Vickery, ranked No. 559 globally, shocked the tennis world by joining OnlyFans in January 2025, promoting “content too spicy for Instagram.” She reportedly earns significant income, including a $1,000 deposit fee for dates, as shared in an Instagram Q&A. On the Black Spin Global podcast, Vickery clarified, “I’m in that middle gap,” distinguishing her content from purely athletic posts like Kyrgios’ and more explicit material, emphasising her tennis career remains active.

The collaboration drew mixed reactions, with some praising Kyrgios’ innovative media ventures and others criticising Vickery’s shift to adult content. Smash City aligns with Kyrgios’ interest in pickleball, where he’s also an investor, and reflects his broader media presence, including his Netflix Break Point appearance. Vickery’s involvement highlights the evolving role of athletes in digital platforms, sparking debates about personal branding.
As Kyrgios prepares for a potential US Open mixed doubles appearance, his OnlyFans venture expands his off-court influence. Vickery continues to balance her tennis career with her controversial side hustle, navigating criticism while leveraging her platform for financial success.
