'I Was Bullied For Being Cross-eyed As A Kid – Now I'm A Playboy Model With Four Houses'

It takes a degree of confidence that some people can only imagine exposing everything for the world to see on the Playboy cover, or so one might believe.

The 32-year-old Francia James has already modeled for the well-known brand and is not afraid to flash her body in front of the camera.

Nonetheless, the Colombian OnlyFans star claims that she is naturally timid and was tormented as a child for having "cross-eyed" eyes.

I have to say that I've never really been a confident person, the model who goes by the alias @Francety online admitted to the Daily Star.

"I grew up in Manizales, Colombia in a poor family so I was never financially stable. I was also born cross-eyed.”

"I was really bullied for this as a child and didn’t have corrective eye surgery till I was 12 years old."

When the model moved to America at the age of 19, she discovered that she still struggled to talk to people and felt just as insecure as she had when she was young.

She added: "When I made a decision to move to America I also didn’t speak English. I was very shy until I was able to improve my English.”

"Even today I still feel like that poor cross-eyed girl at times."

With over 11.5 million Instagram followers, the model has successfully developed a social media following over the years.

Even though she didn't receive any compensation for the photo shoot for Playboy in 2019, she has since made a sizable fortune.

Since 2020, the model has experienced tremendous success on OnlyFans. She used the money from those sales to buy four homes, including one for her mother and both of her sisters.

"I was always taught not to talk about money but I can say that I have been able to do some really amazing things with my money," she said.

"I bought myself a home in South Florida and also a home for both of my sisters and one for my mother.”

"The day I was able to buy my mom that home was something I will never forget.”

"She worked so hard her whole life to provide for me and my sisters so this was something that meant more than anything else.”
