A disturbing new trend is sending shockwaves through the adult content industry, leaving creators feeling “violated,” exploited, and “uneasy.” Described as “creepy,” the alarming practice has exploded across porn platforms, and now, stars are warning fans that “it’s so wrong” – and “illegal.”
New Zealand’s top OnlyFans star Layla Kelly is speaking out after she and fellow adult content creators were blindsided by a “creepy” explosion of fake identities – a trend that’s sweeping through the platform at an alarming rate.
According to Kelly, men are posing as women on adult content-sharing apps, using stolen images – often nude – and identities of real women to manipulate creators into giving away free, explicit content. For many creators, the implications go far beyond financial fraud. It’s emotional, intimate, and personal.
Stolen identities
But what alarms her most is that many of these men steal photos of real, unsuspecting women to build their fake identities.
“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.”
The adult star added, “Often nude images are used too, and these women have no idea. It’s so wrong.”
Motivated by free content
Weighing in on the growing wave of fake female profiles, former adult star turned marketing agency owner Lucy Banks says the scammers aren’t as slick 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 mother of two said in an interview with news.com.au.
“Often the motivation is to try and get free content out of you. But what they don’t realise is that they are a dime a dozen. It happens all the time so we can see it a mile away.”
‘Not as smart as they think’
In one bizarre case, Banks explained that a fake female subscriber with a medical fetish kept messaging her with intimate questions, asking about everything from pap smears to personal exams.
“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 told the outlet.
“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.”
Backing up Banks, Kelly said it’s “so obvious” when men try to pull the stunt, adding that it’s far from uncommon.
“I wish I could say this was a rare thing,” she admitted, “but it happens all the time”.
Call for Change
This rising trend highlights a troubling loophole in the world of adult content – one where consent, privacy, and digital safety can be too easily compromised.
“Consent matters guys,” Kelly said, calling the deception a “sneaky act” and a “violation.”
“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 shared.
Next, she delivered a stern warning to fans of adult content who are trying to trick workers with fake profiles: “It is important to remind the culprits that it is illegal in New Zealand and Australia to steal someone’s identity and distribute naked images without consent. If anyone reading this is currently using someone else’s intimate images or are considering doing so, then they should think again.”
