A video of OnlyFans content creator Lily Philips going through the process of baptism has gone viral on social media, with people praising her connection to religion. In contrast, others feel she has an ulterior motive.
Philips, age 24, has long been known for doing daredevil stunts and even a reported act of sleeping with more than 1,100 men in a span of a day that created a buzz all over the world. She decided to get re-baptized on the 28th of December as a way of rebuilding her relationship with God after passing through tough times.
Philips Claims That Religion has Always Been a Part of Her Life
Speaking to the Daily Star, Philips revealed that she grew up in a religious family and that Christianity is a tradition she was brought up with.
“I’ve always been a Christian. So I was baptised as a baby. Throughout my childhood, we would go to church, and we had a family member who was a vicar. We were quite involved in Christianity.”
Philips also said she was baptized when she was younger after her parents’ deaths. She described the recent rebaptism as a meaningful reset.
“I got baptised on Sunday. It was excellent. It was just really nice to kind of reinstate my relationship with God because it kind of deviated for quite a bit of time.”
“I Don’t Need to Be in a Church to Pray,” Philips Says
Philips added that she is not a regular churchgoer because she travels and works, but she still prays.
“I don’t go to church that often. It is more like when I can. I’ve been so busy and travelling a lot, so it is not that available to me at times like that.”
She also mentioned that praying is part of her practice, even outside the church.
“But I do pray. It really depends on what is going on in my life, but it can range from five to 10 minutes. I don’t need to be in a church to pray.”
“Sometimes I have a chat in bed at night.”
Adult Content “Has Definitely Taken a Back Seat,” She Says
According to Philips, her newfound beliefs have affected her perception of her profession because she is no longer interested in adult content.
“It [adult content] has definitely taken a back seat. I’m still trying to figure it out, but I am just trying to prioritise other things going into 2026.”
According to her, she is focusing on prayer and family, as well as on exploring new career avenues, such as television presenting, rather than on viral challenges.
Philips Also Discussed Bisexuality and Dating Women
Philips has talked openly about her bisexual orientation and stated that she could picture herself with a female. Although her personal life has largely been kept out of the limelight, she did promise her audience a change in perspective when she started dating women.
Speaking to The Mirror, Philips explained that dating women in 2025 is not fundamentally different.
“I think now, in the year 2025, it’s not that much different to dating straight people.”
She also said she has never been judged for her bisexuality.
“I think around bisexuality, people are more open these days. I’ve never felt any judgment from that, so to me, it’s just like dating boys.”
Social Media Response: Both Positive and Skeptical Reactions Emerge
The reaction to this video on baptisms from the online community has been diverse, with some welcoming this modification and others finding it performative.
As one commentator wrote, “All girls find God when they need a husband.”
“The fact that this was tape-recorded and put on social media says a lot,” one woman said.
Some called on people to move on from her past. One of them wrote, “Forget about her past.”
Another argument was that Philips was treated differently from men seeking redemption.
“When men are rustic, powerful, and criminals and decide to ‘become closer to God,’ it’s accepted, and their sins are forgiven, but when a woman who… get ready for it… had S** (quite shocking, I know) wants to become ‘closer to God,’ she’s shamed. I wonder why this could be.”
A few answers were critical of a perceived online trend involving creators exploring a form of religion.
“The online trend of ‘Christian’ branding is getting tiresome,” one reader commented.
Another added, “E-girls find God the moment they move on from the scene.”
One person wrote, “I’m so sick of these content creators bringing up their faith as clickbait content because they’re no longer popular.”
Some people had hoped that the move would be in good faith. “I hope this OnlyFans model is truly transformed and not appropriating a performance-based religious practice just to get engagement on social media. What bothers me is that this transformation was recorded and shared on social media, but hopefully, it’s a genuine transformation.”
