Loved ones pay tribute to Sophie Anderson after ‘bubbly, funny and kind-hearted’ star dies aged 36
Tributes have been pouring in for Sophie Anderson after news of her passing broke late last night. The cultural icon was best known for being part of the Cock Destroyers alongside Rebecca Moore, which saw the two collaborate on everything from pornographic content to educational videos about sexual health. “I’m devastated hearing the awful news of Sophie’s passing,” Rebecca wrote on social media on 4 December. “We shared some amazing times together and that’s how I’m going to remember her. “The bubbly, funny, kind-hearted soul who was outrageous on the outside but so gentle behind closed doors. “We were very close, and we shared a crazy time together that was totally unique to us.

I will always love you and hold a special place in my heart.” Whether it was the, “Fuck, it’s a Sunday!” clip or the endless reaction videos that circulate Twitter daily, Sophie was known by all for her candid nature and ability to never take herself too seriously.
She was a fearless advocate of LGBTQIA+ rights and was a true trailblazer in her approach to normalising discussions about sex work, sexual health and everything in-between. “Her heart overflowed with love for others” Christine Neubeiser, Director of Fundraising at leading sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust, remembered Sophie for her fundraising efforts and attempts to destigmatise HIV. “All of us at Terrence Higgins Trust were so sad to hear about the death of Sophie Anderson,” she told GAY TIMES. “She will be dearly missed and our thoughts are with her family and friends.
Sophie, together with Rebecca More, has done so much to support people living with and affected by HIV, from taking on challenges like the Red Run to selling merchandise and donating the profits to Terrence Higgins Trust. “Sophie and Rebecca have been such staunch allies by shouting about all the progress we’ve made around HIV to their many, many followers in order
