Social media sensation Natalie Reynolds quickly rose to fame by capturing the internet’s attention with her outrageous pranks and posts on various platforms, especially TikTok and Kick. Despite her content being engaging for fans, it was deemed inappropriate, leading to multiple violations of platform policies, and subsequent bans on her verified accounts. Undeterred by these setbacks, she created backup accounts, and persists in entertaining her fans by uploading outlandish and ridiculous video reels.
Early Years and Family
The early life of Natalie Reynolds remains veiled in mystery, with little information available about her upbringing. Despite her extensive video content, Natalie has chosen not to divulge details about her parents or any siblings. The only known fact is that she was born on 1 July 1998, in Los Angeles, California USA.
Rise in Social Media
Natalie Reynolds’ ascent to social media stardom was propelled by a plethora of pranks and sensational posts, often bordering on or falling into the indecent category. She often collaborated with Zack Huelsman, another social media personality. Some people refer to her as a Miami social media influencer and fans presume that she is based in Miami, Florida. Critics, including some online fans and other influential social media personalities, raised concerns about the inappropriateness of her content, which targeted not only children but also adults. Accusations surfaced that she frequently harassed people in public spaces for the sake of online attention. Here are some examples of her most interesting and controversial social media content:
Wearing nothing but paint in the gym
In what she claimed to be a social experiment, Natalie visited a gym clad only in body paint resembling blue leggings, and a sports bra, and combined it with a real black hoodie. This provocative choice drew immediate attention, with gym members confronting her for what they perceived as a lack of proper attire. One man, unamused and finding it disrespectful to those seriously working out, insisted that she leave.
Feigning ignorance, Natalie denied the accusations, asserting that she was indeed wearing clothes. The man, undeterred, accurately identified the body paint. Attempting to escalate the situation, Natalie moved closer, attempting to intimidate or create an awkward atmosphere. Unfazed, the man revealed his background in the entertainment industry, claiming the expertise to discern reality from fiction. Eventually, he left her alone.
When Natalie posted the video reel with the caption, ‘Guy in the gym presses me for wearing painted pants,’ she anticipated support. However, the majority of comments defended the man. Realizing the overwhelmingly negative feedback, she issued an apology. Unfortunately, many online users doubted its sincerity, noting similarities to popular vlogger Logan Paul’s infamous apology video. Critics argued that, ultimately, the controversy garnered millions of views, suggesting that viewership mattered more to Natalie than genuine remorse.
Arrested for Kidnapping Prank During Christmas
Natalie once again made headlines on various social media platforms when entertainment sites reported her arrest for her latest prank—kidnapping children by enticing them with candy. Allegedly, during the Christmas season, she and her crew ventured out in a white U-Haul van, ostensibly with the intention of filming the prank for her Kick channel. However, the situation took an unexpected turn when someone alerted the police. As they drove around, police sirens blared, leading to a dramatic encounter resulting in their being pulled over.

Details about whether they were genuinely arrested remained unclear, with no actual photos to corroborate the incident, apart from a mugshot that Natalie posted on 25 December 2023. The camera managed to capture only a snippet before being turned off—the police officers yelling at them to exit the van.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Natalie posted, ‘Jail isn’t what I expected… Got locked in a cell with some random girls, and they took a [explicit] in front of me.’ Seemingly proud, she recounted that three helicopters and 15 police cars were actively searching for her at that time. Skepticism arose among some, casting doubt on her claims, and speculating that she may have fabricated the entire incident for the sake of her content.
I Catfished Guys in Real Life
Not all of Natalie’s content was considered inappropriate, as there were moments suitable for a wider audience. One such instance was a catfishing prank Natalie and Zack orchestrated, which they uploaded to her YouTube channel in August 2023. The concept involved sending pictures of the alluring Natalie to unsuspecting guys, and arranging a meet-up at her house for an afternoon of pizza. However, the twist awaited the guys—they would encounter a different version of Natalie. She wore a fat suit to gauge whether they would still spend time with her or concoct an excuse to leave. Positive comments flooded in, with fans expressing enjoyment and finding the prank highly entertaining. Nevertheless, some critics argued that putting the guys on the spot and potentially shaming their preferences wasn’t ethical.
Inappropriate Acts in the Supermarket
Natalie ventured into malls, specifically supermarkets, for some of her more controversial acts. In one scenario, she randomly selected a guy and asked him to take a picture of her posterior. Another instance involved her strolling near the counter in a swimsuit or bikini, nonchalantly adjusting her bra in front of other shoppers. A separate video featured her twerking and humping the floor while wearing a bikini. However, one particularly controversial video involved her being in the children’s section donning a skimpy bikini, with her boyfriend pouring fresh milk over her body.
Some of these videos are no longer available on her channel or accounts, only accessible through other vlogs that featured her pranks. Many believe these video clips or reels contributed to the suspension or banning of some of her original accounts.
Controversial beef with Jack Doherty
With the highly competitive atmosphere in the social media industry, it’s not surprising that fights or beefs among popular social media practitioners have occurred these past few years.
In 2023, fans became aware of Natalie’s conflict with Jack Doherty. She used to feature in his content, and asserted that she was the first to join his OnlyFans girls. However, for reasons undisclosed, she parted ways with his group, and began revealing unfavorable details about him. For instance, Natalie accused Jack of scamming her on her OnlyFans page, alleging that he did the same to other girls. At one point, she claimed that a former OnlyFans girl in Jack’s circle earned only $5,000 a month, while her page generated a million dollars. Natalie also revealed that no OnlyFans model in Jack’s group ever handled their own accounts.
jack doherty bought all his OF demons Rolex’s for Christmas with the money he made scamming them and taking 100% of their revenue hahaha. Gifting these girls a Rolex will keep them quite for another few months and not leave him. This is the craziest narcissist tactic of all time… pic.twitter.com/6H8HdYNU2q

Natalie exposed what she described as Jack’s questionable method of securing contracts: ‘Step 1: rent a yacht. Step 2: supply girls under 21 alcohol. Step 3: once drunk, hand a contract with no end date.’ The most damaging accusation that Natalie posted on her social media account was that Jack was grooming minors to be an OnlyFans model the moment they turned 18. She also asserted that he paid individuals to ensure her Instagram account was banned. According to Natalie, this was because Jack could no longer profit from her after she locked down her OnlyFans. She claimed to have terminated the Indian tech personnel she alleged were responding to subscribers on her behalf.
In a warning to her fans, Natalie declared that her OnlyFans page was no longer under her control. She urged them not to subscribe or make any payments related to her former page. She also mentioned that she would continue disclosing information about Jack and his core group until those around him come to realize his true nature.
Natalie has encountered challenges with her former friends in Jack’s group, including Sam, N3on, and Kayn. These are fellow social media personalities whom she’s accused of various transgressions, primarily focusing on deceit and duplicity. Notably, she’s currently facing legal action from Kayn, whom she accused of orchestrating a scam involving $30,000 in a business deal that went awry. Kayn, the manager of the viral streamer N3on, has consistently refuted the allegations.
Social Media Metrics
Natalie’s unconventional content led to numerous suspensions and eventual bans on her verified accounts. Despite the controversies surrounding her content, it’s garnered millions of followers. As of January 2024, her largest following couldn’t be confirmed, since most of her original accounts or channels were no longer accessible.
To assess her current standing in the digital sphere, let’s delve into Natalie’s social media metrics on her new accounts:
TikTok
Natalie Reynolds rose to prominence on TikTok by sharing comedic and lip-sync videos alongside her rumored boyfriend, Zackary Huelsman, on their joint account (@zackandnat). Their content, featuring pranks, challenges, and innuendos has garnered widespread popularity. Commencing their TikTok journey in early 2022, they’ve accumulated a substantial following, boasting over 2.4 million followers and 45 million likes on their videos.
Additionally, Natalie maintains a secondary account (@nataliexxxreynolds) in which she shares more personal and solo content. This account has attracted nearly 130,000 followers and amassed over half a million likes. Notably, Natalie’s previous accounts, which faced bans on the platform, managed to accumulate an even larger fanbase, exceeding 100 million likes.
Kick
In addition to TikTok, Natalie is recognized as a Kick streamer, where most of her initial pranks were showcased. Though she currently has close to 13,000 followers on the platform, it’s uncertain if this is her original account. Kick serves as one of her revenue streams, empowering streamers like Natalie to monetize their content and engage in sponsorships.
X (formerly Twitter)
On her new X account, which she opened up in February 2022, Natalie has amassed over 50,000 followers using the handle @onlynatreynolds, with approximately 700 posts. She remains active on this platform, consistently updating her fans on the latest happenings in her life.
View this post on Instagram
Among her various social media platforms, Natalie’s Instagram account, with the handle @nataliereynolds, stands out as one of her original accounts dating back to 2013. Although the username underwent more than 10 changes, this account boasts over 350,000 followers. Natalie is particularly protective of this account, suspecting sabotage so she has limited activity — only 23 posts, in contrast to her other social media platforms.
YouTube
In August 2022, Natalie and Zack joined forces to launch a YouTube channel under the handle @Nataliereynoldss. Initially named “Nat and Zack” or vice versa, the channel underwent a shift and is now simply known as “Natalie.” In a remarkably short period, their channel amassed close to 4.5 million subscribers with approximately 65 videos. Fans were taken aback when the duo ceased uploading videos on this channel, and the last one was posted in November 2023. Despite fans’ inquiries about the recent changes, neither Natalie nor Zack addressed the matter.
However, Natalie redirected her focus to another YouTube channel she established in June 2023, entitled “Nat Live.” This channel has garnered close to 50,000 subscribers, and accumulated around 33 million views across 650 videos. While the channel features full-length videos, the majority of Natalie’s content is in a shorter format. Whether this shift was due to a fallout with Zack or for tax-related reasons, Natalie has been notably active on this new channel.
OnlyFans
Natalie formerly maintained a profitable OnlyFans page. However, she deliberately restricted access to it due to a dispute with Jack Doherty, who managed her account. Natalie hasn’t disclosed whether she plans to open another OnlyFans account, considering the potential impact on her previous contractual agreements with her former manager.
Personal Life
Since Natalie’s emergence on social media platforms, she’s been linked to Zachary “Zack” Huelsman, with rumors of a romantic relationship. However, they rarely share posts indicating a romantic connection, leaving followers without updates on whether they are still together or have chosen separate paths.
Appearance
Standing at a height of 5ft 7ins (170cms) and weighing 117lbs (53kgs), Natalie possesses a slim-fit physique and a sun-kissed complexion, garnering significant attention across her social media accounts. Her distinct features include blonde hair and striking blue eyes.
Net Worth
According to several authoritative sources, Natalie Reynolds boasts an estimated net worth as high as $2 million, as of January 2024.
