Who is Kayla Jade and what sparked this conversation on motherhood?
I recently opened up on TikTok about becoming a mom and the amount of love and support that I've received from all the comments of... women, it has been so overwhelming and so incredible. It was a really hard thing for me to share, like not only because I wanted to keep them safe, but because I feared the judgment that I would get from being a sex worker and a mother. Unfortunately, there's so much stigma still around sex workers. So because I wanted to keep them safe, like I chose to keep them offline. And there were certain people that thought that it was their story to tell that I had children. They thought it was their tea or whatever. So I decided to come out and share my story because... I didn't want, you know, their assumptions of me.
You know, they were saying that I was a bad mother because I didn't show my kids online or, like, she obviously doesn't have her kids or she doesn't have custody. Like, the most wildest speculations you could think of. They were all saying it in those comments. So I decided to share my side of the story and why I keep them private. I think a lot of sex workers can agree with me that we don't talk about our private lives to our clients or to anyone for that matter because it risks people invading your privacy. And not only am I a sex worker, but I do have a pretty large following. So... it just stressed it even more to keep that side of my life private. Sex workers get stalkers.
Why does Kayla keep her children’s lives private despite public curiosity?
They get people showing up to their house all the time. Like, this happens on a daily to so many sex workers. So that's why we stress keeping it private. I guess, like, so the reason why I shared that TikTok video and opened up with you guys is... So about six months ago, I saw a thread online of people discussing my children. They were literally... Sharing information that was just absolutely ridiculous. They were asking, people were asking for photos of my children, asking what they looked like, their ages. Like, I just, it really saddened me to see that. It disgusted me. It gave me such an icky feeling that people were discussing children online like this. And so that was like, I sort of...
knew that one day it was probably going to come out. But when I saw that and I just saw how people were reacting from knowing that I had kids, that completely took me off. Like it completely put me off sharing my private stories because of that. And then literally like two days ago, my friend Girthmaster sent me a video of like someone on TikTok discussing... The TikTok itself wasn't to do with me, but...
What stigma do sex workers face regarding privacy and motherhood?
The comments were saying about that I had kids and people putting in their two cents about what they thought of me as a mother, saying that obviously I don't see my kids or I don't spend time with them because I decide not to show them on my sex work at TikTok, which I just, I was gobsmacked to see. And then also I had Facebook like mums groups and gossip groups saying Literally sharing private information about my kids and myself, pretty much doxing me, which was such a surprise to me because I guess like on my platform, I'm all about women supporting women. And to see that women were putting their fucking tea in front of children's safety, like, that just broke my heart. It really broke my heart to see that. Like, my children's lives aren't your tea.
That's not something to be discussed. I shouldn't have to tell this side of my story. But because people wanted to see the drama, they wanted to see the tea, now I'm here talking about it. So I was also scared of the judgment. I'm still a very anxious person.
How has online speculation and doxxing affected Kayla and her children?
So I struggle day to day with the judgment, whether it's like the fear of, you know, being at school and someone recognizing me or just being out in public with the kids and someone recognizing me. I live in a constant state of anxiety from it. I've even had recently when this stuff was coming out about me having children, I had someone literally take a photo of me and my kids in public, which is so fucked up. And I'm sure people would have seen that shit around the mums groups. Basically, not many people know this because I've never shared it before, but the reason why I started sex work was for my kids.
