Mom fires back at critics after revealing she's a sex worker
When you're a woman, your choices are never just your own. Especially when motherhood enters the chat. Advertisement Last week, Aussie sex worker Kayla Jade made headlines for confirming a long-held secret: she's a mom of two. But speaking exclusively to Kidspot, she now says that wasn't the real story. 6 Sex worker Kayla Jade has confirmed that she is a mom of two. INSTARimages 'I live in a constant state of anxiety from it' The influencer says the truth behind the headline involved receiving intense backlash, judgment, online gossip, and even doxing from other women. All of which forced her hand to 'confess' she's a mom. Advertisement The 30-year-old Queenslander, a social media star with more than two million followers on TikTok, has now opened up about what it's really like to parent under a microscope. 'As sex workers, we don't talk about our private lives to our clients or to anyone for that matter, because it risks people invading your privacy,' she told Kidspot. 6 'As sex workers, we don't talk about our private lives to our clients,' Jade said about protecting her children. INSTARimages 'Sex workers get stalkers. They get people showing up to their house all the time. I've always just been very protective of my children.

That's just something that's really important to me.' 6 Jade says she is constantly worried about stalkers. INSTARimages 'I teach my kids love' When it comes to how her children see her? She's already laid the foundation for that conversation. Advertisement 'I teach them to not be judgmental. I teach them love. I teach them kindness, empathy. They are the kindest kids I've ever met,' she revealed. Kayla Jade also shared her plan to deal with potential playground bullies; she's flipping the script. 'For those who care so much about whether my kid will be bullied for [my work], how about other parents teach their kids to not be so judgmental. It's not my kids who are the problem.' Storytime with Kayla Jade In a new podcast series, Storytime with Kayla Jade, she explains why she chose to take back the narrative after online speculation began to spiral. 6 'For those who care so much about whether my kid will be bullied for [my work], how about other parents teach their kids to not be so judgmental,' Jade said. INSTARimages She says that people weren't just 'gossiping'. They were actively trying to source photos of her children, digging into their appearances, asking for their ages. And most disturbing of all? Much of the behavior came from other women. Other mothers. Advertisement 'I'm all about women supporting women and to see that women were putting their f***ing tea in front of children's safety. That just broke my heart,' she told her listeners. 'My children's lives aren't your tea.' 6 Jade addresses the backlash she has received about her profession on her new podcast, Storytime with Kayla Jade. INSTARimages She draws a firm line between two very different lives: the public-facing world of her sex work, and the deeply private, sacred space of motherhood. Advertisement In one world, she shares unfiltered stories about wild clients and her cashed up earnings. In the other, she's packing school lunches, folding laundry, and squeezing in every extracurricular she can. Kayla Jade also explains on her pod that she's living that relatable mom life just like the rest of us. Her job doesn't make her any less of a parent. In fact, it's given her something most working moms can only dream of: time. 6 Jade discusses topics such as wild clients and packing school lunches on the podcast. INSTARimages Advertisement She co-parents with her children's father, someone she credits as a key support. While the flexibility of her work means she is able to be present for the day-to-day family moments that matter. Being a mom is her true calling. 'I just always felt such a connection as a mother,' she says. 'I think when my kids look back on their life, they're not going to look back thinking mom was a sex worker. They're going to look back and think of all the wonderful memories that we've had together.'

Wait, Crime Mob Broke Up Because Of Michael Jackson?
On Sunday (March 30), R&B singer Kenyon Dixon took to X with a shocking revelation about — of all things — Crime Mob and Michael Jackson. 'Finding out Crime Mob broke up because Princess lied and told Diamond that they saw Michael Jackson at Six Flags and he wanted to get on 'Knuck If You Buck' is SENDING me dawg I'm crying. What would MJ be doing on 'Knuck If You Buck'? LMFAOOOOOOO,' he tweeted. Over 4.4 million impressions later, we're still just as stunned and tickled by this random fact as you are. Princess appeared on Storytime With Legendary Jerry in February 2024 and recalled the story behind the Hip-Hop group's hit single and how one lighthearted white lie lead to their dismantlement. She explained that she broke Diamond's trust after calling her to share that she and her brother saw Michael Jackson and his pet chimpanzee, Bubbles, at Six Flags and he mentioned that he wanted to get on 'Knuck If You Buck.' Upon hearing Princess 'confirm' that he laid down a verse and Bubbles did ad-libs, Diamond allegedly ran from her house to theirs — only to find out it was just a joke. 'She believes us and it hurt her,' Princess shared before apologizing for what went down. They were around 16 at the time. Fans and critics alike were in shambles over the tidbit. Rob Markman tweeted, 'MJ WAS with the s**ts. Pharrell gave him those Justin Timberlake beats first and Mike was like 'Nah gimme the s**t you give NORE.'' Charlamagne Tha God teased, 'Diamond, if you believed that, you were just looking for a reason to leave the group.' Another replied with what she thought Jackson would sound like on the club anthem. Someone else urged the internet to now make an AI-powered version of the record with the King of Pop on the remix. Diamond hasn't addressed the Michael Jackson story, but has said that Crime Mob's split was due to faulty business dealings on their manager's part. She left the group in 2007 to pursue a solo career.
