Annie Knight, a 28-year-old Australian sex worker famously dubbed 'Australia's most sexually active woman', has stirred significant public attention by launching a unique paid dating service mere months before her scheduled wedding to Henry Brayshaw in March. The announcement, made via her social media channels, invites male admirers to apply for the opportunity to spend time with her in various social settings.
Details of the Controversial Dating Offer
On Thursday, Knight posted a call-out on her Instagram Stories, featuring a photograph of herself posing in a bikini, accompanied by a caption that read: 'Have you always wanted to take me out? Or do you need a bit of confidence to learn how to ask girls out? Now's your time...' The post included a link to a formal sign-up sheet, which clearly outlines her fee structure for companionship.
Pricing Structure and Service Boundaries
The pricing for Knight's company is notably steep, with an hour-long date costing $1,700 and a more extensive ten-hour experience priced at a staggering $10,000. In the sign-up form, Knight elaborated on the nature of these engagements, stating: 'I am now offering you the opportunity to take me out to dinner, spend the day with me, go on trips together, catch up for coffee or a walk, etc.' She was careful to specify a crucial boundary, clarifying that her services do not include 'anything physical', explicitly ruling out sexual activities.
Background on the Upcoming Wedding
This unconventional business move comes just ahead of Knight's wedding to Henry Brayshaw, the son of well-known AFL commentator James Brayshaw. The couple, who have been friends for a decade, rekindled their relationship earlier this year and became engaged in March after a romantic dinner in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
The Engagement and Family Dynamics
Henry Brayshaw proposed with a lavish three-carat oval-cut diamond ring, set on an elegant gold band. According to jewellery expert Tony French from Austen & Blake, such a natural diamond could be valued between $140,000 and $200,000. Despite the opulence, Knight revealed in an October interview on the 'Saucy Secrets with Jana Hocking' podcast that Henry has a strained relationship with his father, James Brayshaw, stating: 'To be honest with you, Henry and James don't really have much of a relationship.' She noted that the rest of Henry's family has been supportive of their union.
Future Plans and Personal Philosophy
Looking beyond the wedding, Annie Knight has expressed her desire to start a family with Henry. During an appearance on the 'One Night with Steiny' podcast last month, she shared: 'I want to have kids eventually, for sure.' She outlined her parenting philosophy, emphasising tolerance and non-judgment: 'I'm going to raise my kids the way I was, that you don't judge people. Don't waste your life judging people. If you don't like what I do, that's fine. But there is no need to hate on other people.'
This paid dating initiative has sparked discussions about modern relationships, the boundaries of companionship services, and public perceptions of individuals in the sex work industry, particularly as Knight navigates her impending marriage and future family plans.
