Adult star Layla Kelly exposes ‘creepy' catfish craze that's turning OnlyFans into digital horror shows

Time of India11-07-2025
If you thought the internet had already hit peak weird, think again. OnlyFans creator Layla Kelly has just dropped the curtain on a 'creepy' new trend sweeping the adult content scene, and it is making creators everywhere side-eye their inboxes. The rising wave of catfish accounts, men pretending to be women to gain deeper access—has exploded in recent months, leaving many stars feeling cornered and grossed out.
The catfish are out in full force, and it is getting messy
Kelly, New Zealand's biggest OnlyFans name, says she is constantly bombarded with fake female profiles trying to trick her into more intimate interactions. But the most disturbing part? These men are allegedly stealing real women's images, often nude, without their consent just to keep up the charade.
Consent matters, guys, and no, that is not optional
Layla took to social media recently to vent about the unsettling tactics she's seen. She recounted an incident where a man sent her a wedding photo paired with a driving licence, clearly not his own—and she strongly suspects the images belonged to a wife or sister. She expressed deep concern for these women, who likely have no clue their faces (and bodies) are being dragged into this digital catfish circus.
Kelly said she always asks for proof when something feels off, but unsurprisingly, no one ever provides it. She also reminded her followers that using someone else's photos on platforms like OnlyFans is not just shady, it is against the terms of service and straight-up illegal in both New Zealand and Australia.
Not-so-smart tricks: 'Mandy' and the medical kink mayhem
Former adult creator and now marketing maven Lucy Banks also chimed in with her own war stories. She shared how fake female accounts would try to fish for free content under the guise of surgery queries—like asking for breast photos as 'inspiration.' Others carried stranger fetishes, pretending to be women seeking graphic descriptions of medical procedures.
But Banks, like Kelly, said these impersonators are never as slick as they think. 'They give themselves away fast,' she noted, explaining how certain phrases, especially bizarre, hyper-sexualised ones, just scream 'not a woman.'
Both women agreed this is not a rare issue, it is happening all the time. Kelly even speculated that the motivation lies in chasing 'special attention' by playing pretend. But her final word was sharp: If you are misusing someone else's images or identity for this? It is not cheeky or clever, it is illegal. Stop.

Channel 4's latest documentary has been embroiled in controversy for its unfiltered portrayal of adult star Bonnie Blue, whose real name is Tia Billinger. As per The Daily Mail, the programme revolves around her mission to sleep with over 1,000 men in 12 hours, offering behind-the-scenes access and personal interviews. As per the outlet, the show is under criticism for not questioning the star, the men involved, or how the stunt might have affected people's views on sex. Audiences and critics alike were shocked by the lack of censorship; nudity was not pixelated, and the broadcast included explicit scenes, including footage of Bonnie with three men at the same time. Following the documentary, Visa, Cawston Press, and Smirnoff (owned by Diageo) have asked Channel 4 to remove their ads, saying the content does not align with our brand values or ad policies, as per The Sun. The broadcaster has also been slammed for making the explicit show available to under-18s via its app, despite a 10 pm slot, without proper age checks, and just days after new online safety rules were rolled out for minors.

Ex OnlyFans creator Jacob Berger accused of using pro-Palestine activism to harass Arab women: 'If you want to thank me, send nudes'

Jacob Berger, a Jewish-American actor, content creator, and self-proclaimed pro-Palestine activist from New York City, is facing mounting backlash after serious allegations surfaced online. Known for his viral sketch comedy videos and political advocacy, the former OnlyFans creator, 40, built a massive following of over a million Instagram users, many of whom supported his outspoken stance on Palestinian rights. However, recent accusations shared by Palestinian student and activist Nerdeen Kiswani have sparked outrage across social media, with many now calling him out for alleged exploitation, self-promotion, and sexual harassment. What Nerdeen Kiswani has accused Jacob Berger of On X, Nerdeen Kiswani shared a series of tweets that outlined multiple serious allegations against a man she initially did not name but described in a way that clearly pointed toward Berger. She later confirmed this through tweets and replies. Her first tweet read, 'There's a white Jewish man who's managed to wedge himself into pro-Palestine spaces, building a personal brand off of genocide. And every time I vaguely mention him, without even naming him, someone new messages me with another horrifying story.' In the following tweets, she alleged, 'This man was a failed OnlyFans creator before rebranding as a 'Palestine supporter.' Since then, he's taken sponsorship deals, asked for donations nonstop, and monetized every angle of his supposed activism.' 'He was in Egypt under the guise of helping relief efforts for Gaza. Instead, he bragged about getting a free apartment, not paying for anything, and living comfortably while volunteers around him were actually working.' 'He reportedly made videos with Palestinian children on a 'field trip,' asking people to donate for these 'orphans' without consent from their families. When they found out and asked him to take it down, he blocked them.' 'He sexually harasses and fetishises Arab women, according to multiple reports. Several women have described feeling unsafe around him, especially in activist spaces.' 'He joined a solidarity flotilla and then voluntarily signed self-deportation orders, abandoning others who went on hunger strike while still in captivity. When people asked him about it, he blocked them too.' She concluded the thread by writing, 'He centres himself in everything. Even when talking to Palestinians and on livestreams, it's 'me, me, me'—how he suffers, how he is censored, how he gave up fame, while literally grifting off of a genocide.' There's a white Jewish man who's managed to wedge himself into pro-Palestine spaces, building a personal brand off of genocide. And every time I vaguely mention him, without even naming him, someone new messages me with another horrifying story. Allegation: 'Send me nudes' in exchange for activism In a follow-up post, Kiswani shared a disturbing message from a follower detailing what Berger allegedly said during a TikTok Live, 'Hi Anas, I just wanted to add something to this. So Jacob was recently on TikTok Live, where he was on Handala, and he was talking about how a bunch of women are supposedly reaching out to him and thanking him for his activism. Then he said, 'If you really want to thank me, send me nudes.'' Kiswani also posted additional screenshots from followers recounting encounters with him, and wrote, 'Since posting this in just the past hour, 2 more people informed me of additional examples of him sexualising Arab women & fetishising the movement.' Jacob Berger sexually assaulted Barney.I believe her, Jacob needs to be removed from our spaces IMMEDIATELY, that man is a dangerous predator !!!!!Women deserve to be protected from him and he deserves to be deplatformed. Screenshots, fundraiser misuse, and Islamophobic behaviour In further tweets, Kiswani accused Berger of using Islam in a derogatory manner and exploiting Palestinian suffering for monetary gain. She shared screenshots of videos and interactions, then added: 'Like, is this supposed to be normal?? A white Jewish guy starts supporting Palestine and then bases half of his content around fetishising Arab women, and we're not supposed to call this out?' Like is this supposed to be normal?? a white Jewish guy starts supporting Palestine and then bases half of his content around fetishizing Arab women and we're not supposed to call this out?? She also accused him of misleading fundraising practices, 'He weaponises Islam against Muslims and speaks in a disgusting derogatory manner to people when he is questioned about sharing a fundraiser that used images/videos of a program for Palestinians in Egypt that they don't even give money to.' He weaponizes Islam against Muslim and speaks in disgusting derogatory manner to people when he was questioned about sharing a fundraiser that used images/videos of a program for Palestinian in Egypt that they don't even give money to. What Reddit users are saying Kiswani's tweets have been widely shared on Reddit, where users have expressed anger, disappointment, and concern about how Berger managed to gain influence in organising spaces. Many pointed to his performative tone and self-centred messaging. One Reddit user wrote, 'So sick of people using organising spaces for important causes like it's Tinder/for their foul sexual fantasies and further traumatising others. There are way too many people like this and it's discouraging.' Another said, 'I'm honestly surprised at how many folks are in here saying he seemed normal to them and they engaged with his content. There are Palestinian voices out here; they aren't hard to find—no need for Mr White Guy Look at Me.' One user shared their reaction to Berger's livestream, 'I got weird vibes from his TikTok Live stream… just seemed like he was striking a really weird tone for an activist sailing to Palestine.' Another commented, 'I've been following him for the last weeks and his vibes are off, too much self-promotional and performative. It's better to just unfollow him and not lose sight of the larger picture.' Who is Jacob Berger? Before stepping into the world of viral comedy and activism, Jacob Berger worked as a licensed mental health and substance abuse counsellor, holding an LMSW from Columbia University. He transitioned into acting in 2010 and later found social media success starting in 2017 through sketch comedy videos, often laced with political or cultural commentary. He eventually grew a following for his vocal pro-Palestine stance and travelled to regions like Egypt under the banner of humanitarian relief and solidarity. Berger often claimed that he gave up career opportunities and fame to advocate for justice in Palestine. But in light of the recent accusations, many are questioning the integrity of his motivations.
