Oh, Kay, where do we begin?
It has been a roller-coaster ride witnessing your promotional sex stunt with high school graduates fall apart so spectacularly – less than 24 hours after you boasted to the press you had slept with 75 teens.
From marketing yourself on a billboard near the glitter strip (that couldn’t have been cheap!) to being kicked off OnlyFans just days later and flat-out denying rumours you were transgender (rumours that, of course, were true), it’s fair to say your Schoolies ‘stunt’ hasn’t exactly gone to plan.
Last Sunday, you and I sat down for a pleasant face-to-face interview in Surfers Paradise to discuss a wide range of topics – including the gossip about your gender.
When asked if it was true you were born male, you denied it and said, ‘I think it is because I have a deep voice.’ Then you told me that if you were trans, you would not conceal it.
When I presented you with photos from an old Facebook account of a young man who online sleuths were claiming was you in a former life, you laughed off the resemblance as a mere coincidence.
‘We look very, very similar, but no, that’s not me… and no, I am not trans.’
After our interview, we exchanged texts in which I made it clear that my line of questioning had nothing to do with you being transgender – which is obviously fine – but about you being transparent with the men you have sex with on camera.
And remember, you’d told me during our interview: ‘If I was trans, of course I would be communicating that with the men I film with.’
But in the days that followed you changed tack. Your gender was ‘really no one’s business’. Well, which is it, Kay? Is it important to disclose, or is it no one’s business?
Then you told your local paper, the Gold Coast Bulletin, that you were, in fact, trans but hadn’t ‘had to disclose it this year because I haven’t filmed with anyone.’
Well, that’s lucky! I guess your earlier body count boasts were just part of your plan.
You also stated that all parties involved your Schoolies escapades last year were informed of your gender transition. That’s great – I wish you had been as upfront with me.
By playing coy about your past this year, you’ve got tangled up in your own story. You’ve been kicked off OnlyFans and are being called out by your online followers.
Perhaps they felt misled?
I was on a flight back to Sydney this morning when I heard you’d been on The Kyle and Jackie O Show telling your side of the story.
When discussing your controversies of the past week, you claimed I had ‘outed’ you and that my questions about your gender assigned at birth were ‘disgusting’.
Look, it seems you don’t like me very much and that’s fine. But now your Schoolies stunt is over, I think you really should be thanking me.
It may be a little before your time, but back in the early 2000s there was a British reality TV show called There’s Something About Miriam where single young men vied for the affection of the Mexican bombshell Miriam Rivera.
What her suitors didn’t realise was that the glamorous star of the show had a secret. In the climactic final episode, Ms Rivera confessed she was a transgender woman.
I don’t want to spoil the ending for you but, suffice to say, it didn’t end well.
The contestants launched a lawsuit against the production company accusing conspiracy to commit sexual assault, defamation, breach of contract and personal injury, citing the psychological and emotional damage filming had caused them.
Now you say you never slept with any Schoolies this year, and I’m not suggesting otherwise, but – my God – imagine for a moment if you had done, and hadn’t disclosed to them you were trans.
Imagine the ramifications you could have faced.
Imagine a dozen or more shattered teenage boys with rich parents banding together for a class action lawsuit, with plenty of cash in their coffers to drag you to court alleging pain, suffering and embarrassment.
Teenage boys can be cruel – imagine if one of your filming partners learned of your gender swap after sleeping with you and was relentlessly bullied by their mates?
Perhaps it is time to thank the media – and me in particular – for calling out your foolish sexcapade. Perhaps you shouldn’t go on radio accusing us of transphobia and ‘outing’ you.
I’m sure you’ll bounce back from this, Kay. There are plenty of other subscription-based platforms for you to sell your wares.
It’s just a shame because OnlyFans is the world’s biggest marketplace for trans creators.
