Before she was a Christian evangelist, former porn star Nala Ray appeared on the "Whatever" podcast and stunned people with how awful of a person she was, and all of her horrible behavior was supposedly driven by her hypersexuality. She gave off the impression she was willing to sleep with anyone, at any time, even you if you happen to come across her in the wild.
She claimed she had a boyfriend, but that didn't matter, because she loves to cheat. She would post videos of herself online, cheating and having sex with these random men.
But it was all a lie.
As she later told Michael Knowles during an interview, it was all an act. She was never cheating or sleeping around. Every man she was having sex with on camera was her boyfriend disguised as someone different.
Why the lie?
Because Nala knew how to market to men, namely the porn addicted. She wore provocative things that made you want to see more while advertising that she was wild and willing to be depraved, and what's more, you had a chance with her. That's the impression she wanted to give off, and it worked. Her OnlyFans page was wildly successful. Thankfully, she gave it all up and turned to Christ, using her experiences and testimony to give girls hope.
Nala is a classic example of internet "outrage bait," and in today's social media atmosphere, it's a proven path to success. It takes many different forms depending on the person uploading it.
For instance, YouTube streamer Jack Doherty was often known for creating situations where someone would want to become confrontational with him by acting like a real piece of crap, sometimes even starting things in front of someone's children to cause a visceral, angry reaction. Before Doherty would get his comeuppance, his bodyguard would step in and intimidate the angry person into backing off.
This would often attract immense amounts of hate that Doherty turned into piles of cash. He bought his own massive house at 15 years of age. Lucky for planet Earth, Doherty is well into his downfall, but I digress.
The point is, outrage attracts eyeballs.
Take this video that was commented on by Emily King, for instance. This woman says she's taking videos of her cute outfit to send to her boyfriend while she's on her all-girls trip, while adding, "But he doesn't know Fernando the bartender just ruined me."
I see more and more posts like this and people aren’t picking up that it’s all outrage bait.

These posts are designed to make you mad so you’ll interact and inadvertently promote what is likely her OnlyFans. pic.twitter.com/6IKn0VZeoa
It's obviously fake. She couldn't think of a less stereotypical name for a Latin lover than "Fernando," and moreover, why would she post the evidence on her social media page? I'm not going to look further into this woman, because I see at least one or two of these every week, and all of them lead back to a porn account, and I'd put all my money on her being another brick in that wall.
But too many people don't know that it's fake.
If you're on X, you've probably seen videos similar to this one scroll across your feed randomly. It's usually not original content, being fed to you through an account that often posts things like it. The person posting it is often just as outraged as you, but in truth, it's all in an effort to get you mad.
The goal is to make you furious, cause you to interact, possibly repost it, and get the engagement for that post to skyrocket.
Your goal is not to buy it. Don't interact. Don't engage. Don't get baited.
The underlying issue here is that in order for this engagement bait to work, they have to get you to believe that the world is truly that awful. While evil does occur, and humanity is clearly capable of doing horrific things, these engagement baiters are trying to trigger your will to fight for goodness and morality in an effort to stop their depravity from spreading.
What they don't want you to figure out is that the way to defeat it is not to play their game.
The woman who posts "I just cheated on my boyfriend with his dad" means to make you interact in anger... so don't. Let these people starve in silence.
To be clear, this is a fallen world with evil in it, but the internet is an exaggeration machine, and it increasingly exaggerates for profit. Even supposed defenders of morality and goodness use outrage to bait you into interaction on platforms like X, Instagram, or TikTok, all of which can reward high engagement with big bucks.
There are plenty of real things to be angry about and take action on, but these social media rage-baiters are a waste of time and paint the world as a far darker place than it actually is.
Bottom line: If it seems so vile as to be cartoonishly evil... it's fake. If it feels overtly sexual to a point where you're wondering what the goal of broadcasting that depravity is... it's fake.
A good rule of thumb: If it's a viral video on the internet that evokes some kind of excitement or stirs your will to react... it's likely fake.
