In this episode of the Trade Legends Podcast, we sit down with Darcie Richard — better known as Rattle Kings — the bricklayer who made headlines by leaving the tools for OnlyFans.
Darcie takes us through her journey working as a bricklayer in both the UK and Australia, the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated industry and the financial pressures that pushed her towards a controversial decision. In an honest and unflinching conversation, she reveals how she paid off her debts in just two days of joining OnlyFans — and the storm of online abuse that followed.
Darcie shares the moment she decided to make the switch, the immediate impact on her finances and how her life changed overnight. She talks openly about the jaw-dropping figures she now earns, the impact on her brand deals, and what it is really like to be a woman who left the trades for a life in the spotlight.
Before OnlyFans, Darcie was a skilled bricklayer with experience working on sites across the UK and Australia. She shares the reality of finding consistent work as a woman in construction, the financial pressures tradespeople face and why more women are needed in the industry.
Darcie opens up about the onslaught of criticism she faced after going public with her story — from being banned on Instagram to dealing with relentless online abuse. Her story is one of resilience, determination and staying true to yourself regardless of what others think.
Darcie covers her time working in Australia, moving back to the UK, starting OnlyFans, dealing with online abuse, the impact on brand deals, her earnings and her plans for the future.
