Former Page Three Linda Lusardi admits cringing at past Page Three photos while telling OnlyFans creators that explicit content could affect their future

Linda Lusardi, once one of Britain’s most recognizable Page Three models, is looking back at her past with a fresh perspective.

Now 66, the former glamour model admits that what once seemed normal now makes her cringe.

She was just 18 when she started topless modeling, a career that lasted over a decade.

But as times change, so do opinions, and Linda now questions the glamour industry she was once a part of.

The Downside of OnlyFans

This isn’t the first time Linda has spoken about the risks of revealing content.

A few years ago, she warned creators on the adult subscription platform OnlyFans that they might regret their choices later in life.

While the site has become a lucrative business for many, with some making fortunes from risqué content, Linda believes the long-term consequences outweigh the financial benefits.

In a 2021 interview, she voiced her concerns about the permanence of online content.

She pointed out that images and videos could be screenshotted, shared, and resurface years later, potentially haunting creators for life.

Linda worried that young women may not consider how such content could impact their future relationships or even their children.

A Hypocritical Take?

Some might find it ironic that Linda is advising against adult content, given her own past.

She acknowledges this contradiction but insists that times were different.

She explained that her modeling days were before the internet made everything permanently accessible.

Today, she sees a risk that fans could become obsessed, track creators down, or misuse their content in harmful ways.

Despite her past, Linda says she holds no regrets about her career because she was simply enjoying life at the time.

However, if she could give advice to her younger self, she would encourage her to pursue acting instead of glamour modeling.

An Awkward Discovery

One of the more uncomfortable moments in Linda’s life came when her daughter, Lucy Kane, first discovered her mother’s past.

Lucy, now a singer who appeared on The Voice, found out when she was just seven years old while sorting through old newspaper clippings with her mother.

Linda recalled how Lucy innocently commented on one of the pictures, joking that her mother had “forgotten to put her bra on.”

Though Lucy has built a career in entertainment, she has made it clear she has no interest in following in her mother’s footsteps.

Having Linda as her mother has already led to “MILF comments,” but Lucy has firmly stated that topless modeling isn’t for her.

Changing Times and Changing Views

Reflecting on her past in a recent podcast interview, Linda admitted that she now finds her old photos embarrassing.

While topless modeling was widely accepted back then, she feels that, through today’s lens, it seems outdated and even “shameful.”

She pointed out that attitudes toward women in the media have shifted, making the kind of work she once did seem completely out of place in modern society.

Linda also expressed sympathy for former MP Clare Short, who campaigned to ban topless models from newspapers in the 1980s.

At the time, Short was ridiculed for her stance, but Linda now believes she was simply ahead of her time.

A Different Era

Linda’s entry into modeling was almost accidental.

She was working as a filing clerk when someone approached her with a modeling opportunity.

The pay was far better than what she earned at the tax office, and the job opened doors to a glamorous lifestyle filled with travel, parties, and financial independence.

However, while her father was proud of her success, her mother found it embarrassing when coworkers mentioned seeing Linda in the paper.

Even back then, societal attitudes were divided on the topic.

No Regrets, but No Repeats

Looking back, Linda acknowledges that those were different times and that she was a different person then.

While she enjoyed the lifestyle, she wouldn’t choose the same path if she had the chance to do it over again.

Now, she hopes young women think carefully before sharing revealing content online, as the internet doesn’t forget.

Her warning to OnlyFans creators may not sit well with everyone, but with her firsthand experience, she hopes to encourage a more thoughtful approach to online exposure.
