This post deals with suicide and might be triggering for some readers.

Over the past few days, Vanessa Sierra - the girlfriend of Australian tennis player Bernard Tomic - has been making headlines as she quarantines with Tomic in a Melbourne hotel ahead of the Australian Open. 

But who is the 26-year-old influencer and reality TV star that everyone is talking about? 

Watch the trailer for Love Island 2019, featuring Vanessa Sierra. Post continues below.

Vanessa Sierra Joli grew up in Vanuatu for the first five years of her life. She studied at university after high school and has a Bachelor of Finance and Economics. She also started a Masters in Computer Science. Before reality TV she was working as a Loan Officer.

"No one expects me to have a degree, they automatically think because I’m a model they don’t expect me to have brains. It comes as quite a shock to people when they actually find out I am educated," Vanessa said on Love Island.

Before entering Love Island in 2019, she had two relationships with people from the reality TV world. In early 2019, Vanessa dated Dan Webb, the Married At First Sight star who infamously cheated on his fake wife Tamara Joy with Jessika Power. 

Not long after, Vanessa dated Jessika's brother, Rhyce Power.

In October 2019, Vanessa appeared on Love Island Season Two. 

"I've never considered something like this before, but I'm really excited," she said before her reality TV debut. "I can't wait to have that family vibe in the villa, hopefully make new friends and ultimately I want to find love."

During the four weeks in the Fijian villa, Vanessa dated fellow islander Matt Zukowski, however, it didn't last. 

Vanessa was sent home from the villa on day 14.

After the show, Vanessa told the Daily Telegraph about a number of incidents that made her feel uncomfortable on the show.

"I was kept isolated in the beach hut overnight which is a tiny bright room with a chair and kept getting told I’d get let back to the villa for hours on end," Vanessa told the publication.

"This didn’t happen. It felt like torture."

She also explained that it was because of the show that her mental health declined.

"I did not suffer from depression or anxiety before Love Island. Everything in my life was going so well," she wrote on Instagram. 

In March 2020, the 26-year-old posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed alongside a candid caption.

"I got knocked down hard... but I’m getting back up stronger than ever," she wrote. "I have no recollection of the last four days except that I woke up in hospital after almost losing my life.

"To everyone out there please be careful and take extra steps to protect yourself during these tough times. Remember to never leave your loved ones on bad terms because anything can change in an instant. Thank you to my rock for being there for me and I’m forever grateful to still be here."

In April 2020, Vanessa joined the content subscription service OnlyFans with her boyfriend at the time, Sydney-based Youtube prankster Luke Erwin. Two months into posting explicit content together, the couple were in the top 0.01 per cent of all creators.

While Vanessa hasn't shared how much they make, she has said that content creators on the site can earn between $13,000 and $643,000 per month.

In July, Vanessa uploaded a video on their OnlyFans account with another man and locked Luke out of the account.

"F**king hell, Vanessa cheated, posted it on OnlyFans and locked me out of the account. She also changed the URL to vanessasiphone.com," Luke wrote on Instagram.

"I'm done with this sh*t! I've f**king blocked Vanessa! This is the last time I trust anyone. I've now got people working to get me access to the [OnlyFans] account," he added.

Vanessa shared her version of the events on her Instagram account.
