Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier’s daughter-in-law has hit back at criticism that she is ruining the former player’s legacy.
OnlyFans model and Babestation presenter, Alex, is married to Le Tissier’s son.
During the pandemic, it was reported that she turned to sex work after being two weeks away from needing to feed her four kids with the help of food banks.

After being faced with claims that she is ruining Le Tissier’s legacy, the 31-year-old has now hit back.
Speaking to Daily Star, Alex said: “People say ‘oh you only do well because of your last name’ but it is not like he played for Chelsea is it.
“It is really annoying. I feel like I always have to explain myself and I shouldn’t have to. I do think some people separate the two now because I have done my own thing and it has made them shut up a little bit.

“It is really funny because it goes through waves of what they say.”
She continued: “At first they laughed at me for doing what I do and then it was ‘oh you are just trying to milk the last name’ and now it is like ‘oh you are ruining Matt’s legacy’.
“That is the one I get all the time. I am like ‘why are you putting that person on me’ because it has nothing to do with me. They say I am ruining his legacy but he is doing that himself.

“Honestly I get it so much and it is probably the main thing I am getting at the moment. He is a grown man and doing his own thing, I have nothing to do with that.
“I hate how they are just trying to blame it all on me, I am just over here doing what I do and they just want to blame the woman basically.”
Alex then spoke about the amount of money she has been earning in recent months.
She said: “This month and last month have been more than that.

“It is crazy now. I think this month I am about to make the best I have ever made.”
Alex continued: “It is a bit overwhelming really and I have a lot of imposter syndrome to be honest.
“It is really crazy. A lot of women in the industry who have been doing this for 10 or 15 years have said I have made such an impact in such a short space of time and I am a bit like ‘oh my god’ because I do find it overwhelming. But it is really good.”
