Summer Robert couldn’t hide the large breasts caused by her medical condition, but wherever she went, strangers stared, sexualized her and made her feel ashamed of the body she couldn’t change.
At just 4 feet, 11 inches tall, Summer Robert has spent years attracting attention for her unusually large chest, earning comparisons to the late Dolly Parton and a nickname the young Scottish woman eventually embraced online – “Scotch Dolly.”
While calling her Dolly wasn’t meant as a compliment to the young woman, who, due to a medical condition, has size 30U breasts weighing close to 60 pounds, the years of ridicule took a painful toll.
“I always just viewed my body as being this disgusting thing that I’m always going to be super overly sexualized about,” Robert told People about her size 30R cup breasts that weight close to 60 pounds. “I always really, really struggled with my body image.”
Doctors didn’t help
Now 28, the influencer has learned to accept the body she once wanted to hide, but she only discovered the medical reason behind her unusually large chest three years ago, when she was diagnosed with macromastia, a condition characterized by “abnormally large breasts,” according to the Centers for Neurosurgery.
By then, she had already spent more than a decade asking doctors for answers.
“I had been going to the doctors since I was like 14 or 13 years old, and not one of them diagnosed me. No one told me that there was a condition. They all just said it was puberty. They all just said I had to lose weight. It was ridiculous,” Robert told the outlet in March 2026.
Grew 11 bra sizes at 25
Robert said her breasts started developing when she was just 7 years old, and by 8 she was already wearing a C-cup bra.
As she grew older, the changes continued in dramatic spurts and when she was 25, she grew 11 bra sizes.
“They grew 11 sizes in a year,” she said during an appearance on ITV’s This Morning. “That’s 11 sizes in a year, but almost one a month. It was crazy.”
The physical consequences now reach into almost every part of her daily life, from finding clothes that fit her petite frame to exercising and coping with constant back pain.
But her unusually large chest also means Robert was attracting sexual attention long before she wanted it.
Hyper-sexualized
She recalled being harassed and hyper-sexualized from a young age, and said the judgment followed her regardless of how much she tried to cover herself.
On one occasion, Robert said she was even told to leave a theme park because someone complained about what she was wearing.
“That was ridiculous. I was literally wearing a top – a long-sleeve top – that doesn’t even show a lot of my boobs, but because I have massive boobs, I don’t know. Someone complained,” she told People. “They kicked me out because of it. She told me I had to go and get a big jumper to cover my boobs.”
Trying to dress differently hasn’t stopped the attention.
“I just go through those struggles daily – people thinking that I want to show off my boobs and I want the attention. I’m just like, ‘I’m just trying to exist, literally, and I just have big boobs.’ I can wear clothes that are ugly and I’m still going to get harassed and catcalled.”
And some strangers don’t stop at staring.
Ruthless comments
While chatting with hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard during her September 2026 interview on This Morning, Robert explained just how intrusive the comments can become when she steps outside.
“I get catcalled like 24/7. I was with my friend – like my guy friend – last week in Brisbane and a man came up to us and went ‘have you started breastfeeding yet?’ Like, it’s crazy.”
That kind of unwanted attention even followed Robert into work, including one shift as a restaurant server when a group of customers made “vulgar” comments, compared her to a “Scottish Dolly Parton” and repeatedly called her “Scotch Dolly.”
“These two guys come in and they don’t even say hello. They go, ‘Holy f***, look at the size of her tits. Oh my God.’ To my face. Straight up to my face,” she told People.
Eventually, the restaurant’s chef stepped in and kicked the men out, but when he returned to the kitchen, he found Robert crying.
‘Lightbulb moment’
For 15 minutes, she sobbed as he comforted her before suggesting an unconventional way she might reclaim some control over the attention her body attracted: starting a page on the adult subscription platform OnlyFans.
Robert was initially taken aback by the suggestion, but eventually reconsidered, deciding she could take ownership of how her body was seen rather than allowing strangers to dictate how she felt about it.
“After making an OnlyFans, it was like something clicked and I was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s not my fault I have this body, and people actually love it enough to…fund me, because they think my body’s beautiful,’” she said, adding, “That really was a little light bulb moment.”
