OnlyFans creator Layla Kelly found herself in a bizarre predicament when the owner of an Airbnb property she was staying at tracked her down on social media and accused her of “devauling” the property after she took pictures in it.
It all kicked off after Layla’s risqué pics were picked up in a news article that the owner of the Airbnb property saw.
In an interview with realestate.com.au, Layla claimed that the owner contacted her through Instagram, TikTok and even Reddit to accuse her of “devaluing” the property.
“I was invited to an Airbnb property by a friend, and while there, we took some funny reels, photos in lingerie, and some videos,” Layla told the publication.
Once she caught wind of the owner’s intense messages, she removed the content.
However, according to Daily Mail Australia, she claimed the host continued to harass her via social media, and she had to block them on multiple platforms.
“I immediately took the content down because I didn’t intend on causing such a fuss,” she said.
Layla also noted that the images did not identify the property explicitly.
“Unless someone was personally familiar with that property, they would have no idea whose house it was,” she said.
Truthfully, though, the whole thing is bonkers.
Not only is it ridiculous that an owner of a property tracked Layla down after her stay when she didn’t even book it, but it’s preposterous to imply that she “devalued” the property simply for taking photos inside it.
“I respect that the owner doesn’t want content like that made on his property, but it’s a bit of a reach to say that I’ve devalued it,” Layla admits.
Although the 34-year-old notes that she may have breached Airbnb’s rules around shooting commercial content in some properties, she does believe the response from the owner was excessive.
“So this is a warning to all explicit content creators who may be caught out like I was. Make sure you read the terms and conditions of using a property for commercial gain,” she said.
As shit as it is, the homeowners apparent disapproval just goes to show that the stigma surrounding sex work is still very prevalent and rears its ugly head at the strangest times.
