Schoolies porn star Kay Manuel banned, flees country

The Gold Coast porn star who ignited Schoolies has hit a new bump. James Weir talks to her from her secret hide-out and tries sorting the fact from fiction.

The Gold Coast porn star who claimed she shagged 75 “barely legal” men during the first weekend of Schoolies has sensationally been banned from OnlyFans as she admitted to lying about her sex blitz.

Kay Manuel, 22, claimed the mounting backlash to her Schoolies campaign has prompted her to flee Australia and seek out potential suitors at another post-graduation party hotspot, she said in an interview with news.com.au.

Ms Manuel also said she’d just been suspended from the video-sharing platform where about 8000 subscribers paid a monthly fee of $10 to view her sexploits.

In an email seen by news.com.au, OnlyFans advised Ms Manuel her account had been deactivated following a “manual review” because it “violated … terms of service or community guidelines” and all her pending payments had been refunded to subscribers.

“I’ve got my legal team on it,” she said.

News.com.au has contacted OnlyFans for comment.

It comes after the professional sex worker made headlines over the weekend for striving to sleep with “as many schoolies as possible” during the annual party on the Gold Coast.

But after a wave of backlash, Ms Manuel changed her plans and claims to have fled Australia on Tuesday night to an overseas city where schoolies are partying.

“I’ve jumped on a plane and I’m currently not in the country,” she told news.com.au Wednesday morning.

She said she was accompanied by her security detail and personal assistant.

It has been a bumpy weekend for Gold Coast porn star Kay Manuel.

While she wouldn’t provide her exact location, she said “it’s a familiar place to everyone surrounding the whole Schoolies scandal”.

Fellow porn stars Bonnie Blue and Annie Knight had flown to Fiji to perform a similar sex stunt with schoolies, only to be deported Tuesday night.

When news.com.au asked Ms Manuel if she was concerned about facing a similar hitch, she said she still needed to “look into everything and see what’s happened there”.

“It could be that I’m more than fine to film that stuff there, but I need to look into it before I do it,” she said.

The porn star sent news.com.au a photo to prove she had fled the country and was bunkering down in a secret hide-out but the metadata of the image suggests it was taken in Surfers Paradise rather than abroad. 

Ms Manuel had erected a billboard advertising herself on the Gold Coast and performed “meet and greets” with schoolies where business cards were handed out. While she previously told news.com.au she’d slept with 75 graduates within the first 48-hours of Schoolies, she has now backflipped on the admission and claims she made it up.

“I was lying,” she said of the initial tally.

She said no scenes had been filmed over the weekend, though many grads had been contacting her to schedule a slot.

“The phone calls have been a lot,” she said.

She said she always planned on following through with the stunt, as she did at last year’s Schoolies, but the national backlash had prevented her from accomplishing the mission.

“I was going to go through with everything,” she said. “But things about my personal life have emerged to the surface.”

Amid the criticism she was exploiting impressionable school-leavers, some news outlets began reporting online rumours that Ms Manuel is transgender.

When news.com.au asked Ms Manuel on Sunday about the questions surrounding her past, she asserted she was born a woman and not a man.

“It’s not true. I’m born female,” she said.

“I’ve got strong features, I’m Asian and Maori and I’m tall … bold features.”

She has since admitted she was in fact born biologically male.

“(But) I don’t consider myself transgender,” she told news.com.au.

While Kay Manuel says she lied about sleeping with 75 schoolies at the weekend, she confirmed she did in fact bed graduates at last year’s Gold Coast graduation party.

Ms Manuel said she always informed her amateur porn co-stars about her biological past during the screening process.

“They were told before they even met with (me),” she said.

She said she was “pre-op” while performing with schoolies last year.

“When all the ID checks had gone through, after all that communication, I say: there is an issue and that issue is I was formerly a male. And at that point, I hadn’t had bottom surgery. And that created an issue for some. And most would opt just for a blowjob.”

Ms Manuel said she underwent gender corrective surgery in May.

On Saturday night, the porn star was performing a “meet and greet” with graduates on Cavill Ave at 1.30am, where many young men took her phone number to organise a time to film.

One grad, who wished to be known only as Spencer, told news.com.au he had planned to sleep with fellow OnlyFans performer Bonnie Blue and was “devastated” when the escort’s visa was revoked. He says he was planning on booking in an on-camera visit with Ms Manuel.

“You gotta get the job done,” he said.
