A prominent adult content creator is speaking out about a “creepy” new trend that’s surging through the porn industry, leaving female stars feeling “violated” and “uneasy.”
Layla Kelly, New Zealand’s top OnlyFans star, is among many receiving a flood of messages from male subscribers impersonating women to gain intimate access that would otherwise be off-limits.
While being catfished is unsettling, Kelly’s main concern was the broader issue: these imposters are often stealing images of unsuspecting women to carry out their deception.
“I personally don’t have a problem with people pretending to be someone else, if that’s their fetish then that’s okay,” Kelly told news.com.au.
“Where it crosses the line is when someone, who hasn’t consented or given permission, is having their identity and photos used unknowingly, especially given that this is a very intimate platform.
“Often nude images are used too and these women have no idea. It’s so wrong.”
Lucy Banks, an ex-adult star who launched a marketing agency for OnlyFans creators, said these men were often easy to spot and are not as clever as they think.
“There were several times where I would have subscribers be like, ‘Hey, I’m Mandy! I’m thinking about getting my boobs done. Can you send me a photo of your boobs? I want to see what they look like’,” the Perth mom told news.com.au.
“Often the motivation is to try and get free content out of you. But what they don’t realize is that they are a dime a dozen. It happens all the time so we can see it a mile away.”
Other guys try to hide their gender from the stars as part of an unusual fetish, the Million Billion Media founder explained.
“I used to have this subscriber that had some sort of medical kink, and he would always say, ‘Oh, I need to go for a pap smear, I need to have an internal, can you tell me what it’s like, I want to know what it feels like, how deep do they go, does it turn you on?’,” she shared.
“He would go on and on and on about speculums and having pap smears and internal (examinations).
“And again, you can tell straight away. They’re not as smart as they think they are and you can tell straight away that it’s a guy.”
While the experience breaks many female stars’ boundaries and is seen by some as a “violation,” Kelly said her biggest concern was for the women whose images and privacy are being stolen.
As a result, she recently took to social media to discuss the breach these women are unknowingly experiencing, captioning the video, “Consent matters guys.”
“What bothers me most about this is the clothed and unclothed images of the women they are using when pulling this sneaky act,” she said.
“One guy even sent me a wedding photo paired with a driving licence and I knew it had to be his wife or his sister. Either way, I highly doubt she knew what he was up to.
“I do ask these men to prove they are who they say they are, but none of them ever do. I even remind them that it is against the terms of service to be sending photos of anyone but themselves because they can’t consent to that.”
She also agreed with Banks, stating it was “so obvious” when men pulled the stunt, adding: “I wish I could say this was a rare thing, but it happens all the time.”
“It kind of makes me wonder what these men are getting out of it, and I think it’s the chase of ‘special attention’,” she concluded.
