A disturbing new trend is making waves on OnlyFans, leaving top creators feeling violated and uneasy. According to Layla Kelly—New Zealand’s biggest OnlyFans star—male subscribers are increasingly pretending to be women in an attempt to trick creators into sending free explicit content.
Kelly revealed that she has received a surge of deceptive messages, often from users masquerading as female fans. “I personally don’t have a problem with people pretending to be someone else, if that’s their fetish then that’s okay,” she 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 on such an intimate platform.”
What’s even more troubling is that many of these fake accounts use real photos of women, often without their knowledge or consent. These stolen images are used to build fake profiles to interact with creators under false pretenses—sometimes even involving nude images.
Former adult star Lucy Banks, now founder of Million Billion Media, a marketing agency for OnlyFans creators, echoed Kelly’s concerns. She explained how common it is for creators to receive manipulative messages from men posing as women, often under the guise of needing advice or comparisons.
“There were several times where I would have subscribers say, ‘Hey, I’m Mandy! I’m thinking about getting my boobs done. Can you send me a photo of your boobs?’” Banks revealed. “It happens all the time, and what they don’t realize is—we can spot it a mile away.”
In one particularly disturbing case, a male subscriber pretended to be a woman with a medical fetish, constantly asking Lucy about procedures like pap smears in graphic detail. “They’re not as smart as they think they are,” Lucy said. “We can tell straight away that it’s a guy.”
This growing trend raises serious concerns around consent, privacy, and digital identity theft. While creators like Layla Kelly and Lucy Banks have developed a keen sense for detecting scams, the emotional and mental toll is undeniable.
As OnlyFans continues to grow, these types of interactions underline the need for stronger protections, better verification methods, and more awareness about digital impersonation—especially on platforms dealing with intimate and personal content.
