The influencer shared a photo of herself in just white briefs, sitting on her plush bed in her Sydney home.
She looked sensational as she showed off her curves, strategically covering her bare chest with her arms.
Martha wrote in the caption: ‘Two weeks ago some lady commented ‘chubby’ on one of my posts… I normally shrug the trolls off but this one got to me.
‘It turned into two weeks of stress, self-hatred and unhappiness.’

Martha explained that by posting the image she encourages others to not ‘self-loathe’ as it won’t ‘fix anything’, and to not let trolls affect their self-worth.
‘I want you to know that putting on weight is not the end of the world, and if you have people in your life or on social media that have something to say about your weight, they best have a set of abs or they can f**k right off!’ she concluded.

‘It is surprising. I worked as a makeup artist for so long and I knew that big brands turnover so much. And the number one thing that they all invest in is marketing,’ she said.
Although Martha did not reveal the exact figure she charges for branded content, it’s estimated she makes anything up to $3,000 for a single sponsored selfie.
Some brands likely pay even more for multi-post deals, or to exclusively sign Martha up as the face of their campaigns across different platforms.

When asked how she’s spending her impressive earnings, Martha explained that she’s investing it all into her own top secret business venture.
‘I’m working on something of my own. It’s going to take a while. This is a stepping stone right now. It’s opened so many doors for me,’ said the aspiring entrepreneur.
‘Obviously I have this big platform now. It just sort of catapults your brand or whatever it is you’re going to start. It’s like a nice head start. I imagine that the hardest thing for most new brands is getting a platform.’
