Notorious Playboy covergirl Sara Blake Cheek was recently banned from her son’s ice hockey rink over “unacceptable conduct” after getting into a verbal spat in the stands.

The racy model, 32, spoke exclusively to the Daily Star about the ugly incident where she accused others of judging her and discriminating against her family because of her sexy job.

And while her raunchy career has turned her into a millionaire, a luxurious life of splendour is something she could only dream of four years ago.

It was around that time when she had to make do with just £80 to spend on her four children’s Christmas presents because she could barely could afford the essentials like food and bills.

You could even say she was skint – but not “skint” like Gordan Ramsay who sensationally said he had to sell his Porsche to combat his financial woes.

Sarah’s cash troubles were compounded during the Covid-19 pandemic when the two salons that she ran were shut down overnight leaving her with no income.

And describing what Christmas used to look like, she previously told Daily Star: “There was a time that my husband worked overtime, was rarely home, and we had $100 (approx £80) left after all the bills were paid.

“We had one car and we had to decide which presents we could get and what groceries we could save on. Now I am in the position to be able to help families that are in the situation that we once were.”

Sara’s fortunes changed while reluctantly waving goodbye to her business during the pandemic and instead turning to racy subscription site OnlyFans in November 2020.

She made content alongside her husband, Matt – and the pair were astounded when they started earning £30,000 a month on the platform.

The rags to riches couple then splashed out £10,000 on Christmas presents for their children Chandler, Camden, Corey and Carson in 2021 to make up for their previously frugal festive holidays.

Her rapid rise eventually led to her gracing the cover of Playboy and last year she moved her family into a million dollar ranch that is surrounded by six acres of farmland.

But despite acquiring great wealth, she decided to humble her kids when Santa arrived last year. She explained: “I want to give each kid a budget and tell them to pick out a bunch of presents for kids who aren’t in the same place of life that they are.

“I want them to understand how happy I am to work hard and see the smile on their faces, which is what makes all the hate, the criticism, the judgement, all worth it.”

Despite not going all out, she did splurge on her husband and treated him to a brand new Chevy Silverado RST for the special occasion, highlighting just how different life now looks.

But despite now having the freedom to enjoy this upcoming Christmas without stressing about overtime hours or counting the pennies left over after bills, the modelling success has brought pitfalls.

Sara believes she has been shunned by some other parents in her community in Florida who have not been accepting of her sudden fame.

And she said this was highlighted last month when she was banned from the Ellenton Ice and Sport Complex.

In an email seen by this publication, the manager said: “It has been decided by rink management that your child is no longer allowed to play at Ellenton Ice & you and your family are no longer permitted in the building. he conduct displayed at Friday’s game via video footage and interviews with patrons was unacceptable and is not tolerated at the rink.”

But Sara, who is also a sports media commentator, is convinced that she was targeted specifically for being an OnlyFans and Playboy model – and claimed to have the full backing of her son’s hockey coach and other parents.

Speaking about her infamy, she said: “It is shocking to me that anyone has an issue with what I do for a living because you have to seek that out and pay for it.

“Let’s not pretend that these women didn’t find out through busting their husband for having an account of following me. After the incident I had about 12 requests from dads at the rink.

“I don’t use my kids hockey games to advertise for my business, I don’t confirm requests from other dads on my social media. So they have to do those things anonymously.”
