A glamorous fire breathing circus act has told of her hell at being simply too pretty. Raissa Bellini says she is just so sexy that she is regularly accused of being an AI bot. Raissa – who calls herself the ‘Queen of Fire’ – says she is regularly abused by trolls online who insist she must be an artificial intelligence creation – because they simply just “can’t process a woman this sexy playing with flames”.

The circus act posts snaps and videos of herself online showing jaw-dropping acts of herself arching her body, before unleashing towering plumes of raging flames from her lips. But instead of believing what they see, critics accuse her of using AI or some form of CGI.

“I leave men hot under the collar – and then they tell me I’m not real,” Raissa said. “They say no woman who looks like me can actually breathe fire.

“They think it has to be AI, but believe me – my body, flexibility and badass flame-breathing are all real.

“I know because I’ve worked hard on them all.”

The Sardinian-born beauty, who boasts more than 597,000 followers on Instagram @‌itsraissabellini, admits that the mix of glamour and danger confuses people.

“I’ll be in heels, dressed up, looking feminine – and then I spit fire,” she said.

“It completely defies their expectations.

“They don’t expect sexy and dangerous in the same body, I guess.

She said she doesn't care if people don't think she is real.

“It’s like a hot chilli wrapped in candy.”

The 37-year-old who lives in Miami first fell in love with flames two years ago after spotting a fire performer at a club in Italy and being driven to take up the art form herself.

“He looked powerful – I wanted that power for myself,” she recalled. “I didn’t just want to be watched. I wanted to dominate the room.”

But she said it is not as easy as it looks.

“It’s not just lighting something and blowing,” she explained of the skill. “You’re holding fuel in your mouth. If you breathe at the wrong moment, the flame explodes bigger. It can go wrong very fast.”

And it has, terrifyingly, as Raissa explained.

“One night, my face caught fire,” she said. “My eyebrows were burning. My hair was burning.

“That’s when you realise this is a skill requiring serious expertise – this isn’t a filter.”

Despite the risk that comes with every performance, she says controlling fire makes her feel unstoppable.

“It’s not playing with matches – it’s dominating an element,” Raissa said. “When you command something that can destroy you, that’s power. That’s why I’m the Queen of Fire.”

Raissa believes her career in adult content results in people not believing she is actually a real human.

“People see my body first and my amazing eye-popping curves,” she said. “Sexy models aren’t expected to have another string to their bow, let alone one of this kind.

“They don’t expect discipline, they don’t expect strength, and they definitely don’t expect real flames.”

“If they think I’m CGI, or AI, that’s fine,” she added. “I know I’m like something out of a crazy fantasy movie – one with dragons maybe!

 She said she has no plans to stop her content despite what the trolls say
