Madelene Wright’s football career
Madelene Wright previously played for Charlton Athletic, currently in the second tier of women’s football.
However, she was axed by the Addicks in 2020, after Snapchat videos reportedly showed her inhaling balloons at a party and drinking champagne at the wheel of her Range Rover.
She had previously been investigated by Millwall after she filmed a friend holding a dog with its paws on the steering wheel while they drove alongside a residential road.
In an interview with the Sun in 2022, regarding the incident at Charlton, she said: “I was young, I was messing around with friends, and I didn’t really understand the position I was in and the responsibility I had.
“I loved Charlton, my coaches and teammates, so the decision left me heartbroken.”
Wright returned to football for a brief spell with Leyton Orient in 2024, before joining Chesham United.
The 26-year-old will now play her football with Chatham Town this season.
Why did Wright join OnlyFans?

That number of followers stands higher than some of the players who were part of England’s Euro 2025 squad.

She initially had doubts over joining OnlyFans due to its reputation of showing pornography. However, she decided to create an account, selling subscriptions for £24-a-month.
Her content includes photos and videos where she is wearing bikinis, football tops and lingerie.
Wright told the Sun in 2022: “My main reason not to do it was the reputation it had. I didn’t want to be associated with that kind of thing.
“But when you weigh up the pros and cons, and after doing it for a full year, I know I made the right decision.
How much does Madelene Wright make from being an OnlyFans model?
