She spent her childhood defending her mum’s job to a classroom of jeering boys.
She spent her teens promising herself she’d do anything but that.
Then she woke up one morning during lockdown, checked her phone, and quietly changed her mind.

Mckenzie (@mckenziebleux) grew up as the daughter of Levi, a glamour model and presenter for Babestation, one of the biggest webcam platforms in the world.
The job followed her to the school gates. And the other kids noticed.
The bullying started before she was old enough to understand it
Speaking on the Option One Podcast, produced by Babestation, Mckenzie traced the abuse back to her earliest school years.
“It all started in primary school,” she said.
“Boys saw my mum when she’d come to pick me up and at that age, people sort of knew about it. There was a group of boys in my class and they were really horrible.”
Levi watched it happen and offered the one thing she thought might fix it. Her career.
“At one point, Mckenzie did talk to me and say, ‘Look, I’m getting a lot of stick at school,'” Levi said.
“And I said I would give up my job. I said, ‘That’s fine if it makes it easier for you at school.'”
Then came the caveat, delivered with the timing of a woman who knows her audience.
“But we just have to remember, maybe you won’t be getting new Moncler coats.”
The coats stayed. So did the job.
She spent years insisting she’d never follow her mum
Defending Levi was one thing. Copying her was another. For most of her youth, Mckenzie kept a firm line between the two.
“I never looked down on my mum’s job, but I always said to myself, ‘I’m not going to be like my mum,'” she said.
She had a plan, and it looked nothing like a webcam studio.
“When I left school, I actually went into business admin and I really wanted to do office work, work in a bank.”
A bank. That was the dream.
One overnight payout ended the office ambitions
Lockdown did what lockdown did to a lot of people’s career plans.
Mckenzie set up an OnlyFans account for a bit of extra money and thought little of it.
“I started it in the evening and I woke up the next morning to find I’d earned a lot of money overnight,” she said.
“So I said, actually, I’m going to stick with this.”
Sticking with it turned into something bigger. The next step was the one she’d sworn off entirely.
“I told my mum I was going to join the Babestation webcam platform, did it, and have never looked back.”
Mother and daughter now work the same industry, on the same platform, in a job Mckenzie once got tormented for at seven years old.
Why It Matters
The stigma that made Mckenzie’s childhood miserable is the same stigma the creator economy has been steadily eroding from the inside.
Adult platforms turned the thing she was bullied over into an income her old classmates would struggle to match on a graduate salary.
Her story shows how quickly the calculation changes once the money lands, and how a single overnight payout can dismantle a lifetime of resolve.
It also lands in a moment where family-run adult content is becoming its own quiet genre, with mothers and daughters increasingly open about working the same space rather than hiding it.
What Mckenzie does with the platform now is the part still being written.
The girl who wanted a job in a bank ended up choosing the one she was raised to run from.
