Sophie Rain is pushing back against claims that Australian model Hope De Graauw is her social media look-alike. As De Graauw’s online following continues to grow, users have repeatedly filled her comment sections with messages comparing her appearance to Rain. However, the OF creator exclusively told The Blast that she does not see the resemblance, and believes the constant comparisons are preventing De Graauw from establishing her own identity.
Rain made it clear that she does not agree with social media users who believe the two women look nearly identical. “I honestly don’t see the resemblance at all. She’s a beautiful girl, but she looks nothing like me, and the constant comparisons are starting to make me uncomfortable,” Rain exclusively told The Blast.
Rather than criticizing De Graauw, Rain directed her frustration toward the tendency to define one woman through her perceived resemblance to another. “Women should be allowed to build their own identity without being labeled as someone else’s copy,” she added.
De Graauw’s comment sections have become flooded with reactions from viewers stunned by what they perceive to be a strong resemblance. “Sophie Rain???” one person asked. Another user wrote, “wait this can’t be real,” while someone else described the women as “twins separated at birth?”
The repeated comparisons have helped introduce De Graauw to a wider audience, turning curious social media users into followers. Still, Rain’s comments highlight the potential downside of that attention when a rising creator becomes primarily known as somebody else’s double.
Although fans may see similarities between them, Rain stressed that De Graauw deserves the opportunity to be recognized on her own terms.
Hope De Graauw Is Building Her Own Online Identity
Beyond the comments about her appearance, De Graauw’s content reflects a lifestyle that is distinctly her own. The Australian model regularly shares glimpses of a world filled with red dirt, rugged trails, and powerful vehicles. Instead of relying solely on polished studio photographs, she has built her page around the outdoor environment in which she was raised.
Off-roading is a central part of De Graauw’s content, but it is not simply an aesthetic created for social media. The model reportedly grew up around Australia’s open terrain and appears comfortable navigating muddy trails, working around vehicles, and helping free rigs when they become stuck.
Sophie Rain Previously Slammed Sydney Sweeney’s ‘Disturbing’ ‘Euphoria’ Scene
Rain’s comments about women controlling their identities come months after she publicly criticized a controversial scene involving Sydney Sweeney’s “Euphoria” character, Cassie. In the episode, Cassie was shown dressing as a baby and later as a dog while attempting to expand her presence on an adult platform. The scenes sparked scrutiny online, with Rain describing the material as “disturbing.”
The OF creator argued that the sequence appeared to have been “dramatized” for “shock value,” making it clear that she would not create similar content herself. “I’d never do that,” Rain declared.
Regardless of the backlash, Sweeney stood by the decision to shoot the scene. “When a guy has a sex scene or shows his body, he still wins awards and gets praise. But the moment a girl does it, it’s completely different,” the actress said at the time.
Sophie Rain Credits Late OF Owner With Changing Her Life
Rain also recently mourned billionaire OF owner Leo Radvinsky following his death after a long battle with cancer. “I don’t even know how to put this into words,” she told the New York Post. “That man built something that changed my entire life. Like, I grew up on food stamps, and now I can take care of my whole family because of a platform he created. I will never forget that.”
Before joining OF, Rain worked as a waitress and struggled to afford rent. Her eventual success on the platform allowed her to transform her financial situation and provide for her loved ones. “That platform gave me everything. And that doesn’t happen without someone building it in the first place,” she added.
