An age-defying mum-of-three sends fans into meltdown on social media – but cruel trolls say she’s "too old" to be dressing so provocatively.
Natalie Thorne is an early childhood educator from Canada that is currently on maternity leave.
While on break, she has regularly been uploading videos to her TikTok account, which has since taken off with 1.5million followers.
The 34-year-old’s content revolves around being a “hot mum” and showing off her youthful style and good looks.
She told the Daily Star: “When I joined TikTok people were commenting ‘hot MILF' so I just went with it and stuck with it!”
Natalie has been surprised by the amount of support she has received from strangers online.
While other mums and dads may cheer her on, she says friends and family don’t approve of her videos.
“They have told me to ‘Stop making TikToks’, ‘You will lose your job’, ‘You shouldn’t post these things’ and 'Having over a million followers is no big deal,’” she revealed.
“The only support I get is from my wonderful fiancé and my three children! Without them, I wouldn’t be able to carry on.
“A lot of people tell me I am embarrassing my children but I don’t dress like this at the grocery store, it is strictly for TikTok.
“I am actually introverted and don’t like to draw attention to myself in public. A lot of people find it hard to believe I’m shy.”
While most responses online have been positive, Natalia still receives some negative ones.
The mother said she is used to not fitting in, so she doesn’t let it phase her.
“I have always had a different style than others and never fit in with everyone else. I am used to people judging me on how I dress and just don’t care anymore,” she shared.
“People have said things like 'Poor kids' and 'Mums shouldn’t dress like that'.
“They also call me embarrassing, an old hag, grandma, and say I use my body for views.”
Natalie tends to ignore comments like these and blocks people who are nasty.
Practising self-love has also helped her learn to be unfazed.
“I feel bad for the people leaving hate comments because they clearly hate themselves,” she said.
“I know they must be miserable if they are sitting behind their phone just typing out hate on random TikToks for fun.”
Natalie’s fiancé reminds her that those leaving negative comments aren’t worth her time. Without his support, the mother wouldn’t be where she is now.
“No one else in my real life supports my TikTok. No one even mentions it. They completely ignore it and just talk negatively behind my back,” she continued.
“No one has congratulated me or told me I have done a good job besides my fiancé and kids and my wonderful online friends.
“At first it really hurt my feelings but I realised I don’t need their support!
"If they don’t like what I’m doing on TikTok that’s none of my business or my problem.
“I am patiently waiting for my dad to be proud of me as he doesn’t understand the huge following and goals I have accomplished.”
It is Natalie’s goal to help other mums regain their confidence and start to feel sexy again.
“I want to show everyone that just because you're a mum you can still be hot and sexy. Self-love is very important and I want to promote it as much as I can,” she explained.
“I spent a long time thinking I wasn’t good enough because of what others told me but after practising self-love I realised it doesn’t matter what they think as long as I’m happy and my closest love ones are happy.
“I also know calling myself hot will get a lot of comments on my videos as a lot of people get disturbed if someone else calls themselves good looking.”
