OnlyFans creator Layla Kelly has spoken out about a disturbing trend on the platform that is leaving many content creators feeling uneasy and violated. In a recent interview and Instagram post, the New Zealand-based adult star revealed that some men are posing as women in order to gain access to free, explicit content under false pretenses.
According to Layla Kelly, these men often claim to be interested in procedures like breast augmentations and will reach out pretending to seek “inspiration” from creators by asking for revealing images. While this tactic might appear subtle to some, Kelly says it’s a clear violation of trust and platform guidelines. She noted that the deception is easy to spot, but its frequency is what’s most concerning.
In one particularly disturbing incident, Kelly shared that a man sent her a wedding photo and a driver’s license, both featuring a woman he claimed to be. “I knew it had to be his wife or sister,” Kelly explained. “Either way, I highly doubt she knew what he was up to.” She added that these kinds of identity deceptions are not only unethical but also illegal in both New Zealand and Australia, especially when involving the non-consensual distribution of someone else’s intimate images.
Kelly highlighted that she often asks suspicious users to verify their identity, but none have ever followed through. “I remind them that it’s against OnlyFans’ terms of service to send pictures of anyone but themselves,” she said. “The people in those photos haven’t consented to being represented or used that way.”

The adult star clarified that while role play and identity exploration are part of some users’ experiences on the platform, these scenarios go beyond fantasy and into manipulation. “Most women don’t talk the way these fake profiles do,” Kelly said. “They give themselves away with over-the-top language.”
She warned that this kind of behavior happens far too often and called on others in the industry to stay alert. “It makes me wonder what these men get out of it. Maybe it’s the thrill of tricking someone, getting that special attention. But it’s wrong. It’s creepy. And it’s a violation.”
Kelly ended her message with a direct warning: “If you’re using someone else’s intimate images or pretending to be someone you’re not, think again. This isn’t just dishonest — it’s criminal.”
