Airbnb owner speaks out over value of property

Influencer Layla Kelly claims an Airbnb host accused her of “devaluing” his property.

An adult content creator has revealed how a lingerie shoot taken inside a holiday rental has landed her in hot water, with the owner accusing her of “devaluing” his property by posting one of the racy images online.

Layla Kelly, who has a significant online following as an adult star, shared a “playful” photo taken at the Airbnb during a casual trip with a friend.

“I was invited to an Airbnb property by a friend, and while there we took some funny reels, photos in lingerie, and some videos,” Kelly said.

When the photo later appeared in a news article, Ms Kelly claimed the host tracked her down across Instagram, TikTok and Reddit and claimed she damaged the reputation of his property by associating it with the adult industry.

“I immediately took the content down because I didn’t intend on causing such a fuss,” she said.

“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.”

She added that the photo itself gave no clear indication of the property.

“Unless someone was personally familiar with that property, they would have no idea whose house it was.”

Despite taking the content down, she said the “harassment” continued across platforms until she had to block him entirely.

Ms Kelly said her photos revealed little about the property.

Ms Kelly also claimed that her presence might actually have helped business, not harmed it.

“Some of my fans would deliberately book into an Airbnb that I’ve stayed in just to say they’ve been in the same place! So I could argue that I am potentially creating revenue for him.”

She now admits the photo likely breached Airbnb’s rules around commercial content but argued the backlash 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.”
