He’s a Christian TikToker with nearly 10 million followers, but he’s been caught in a rather ungodly storm.
A nude photo of Noah Glenn Carter, 28, from Alabama, hit the internet this week, with the fit influencer caught in flagrante in a steamy bathroom – wearing nothing but his silver chain necklace.
Carter quickly took to social media to explain away the X-rated image – in which he appears to be performing a sex act.
‘So there’s this photo of me that I was made aware of that has been posted to Twitter of me, you know, doing what people do,’ he said, clearly embarassed, in a TikTok video last weekend.
‘I have absolutely no idea how to get it taken down, so the picture is just up there for anyone to see.’
So far, so standard – as internet leaks go.
But then, days later, Carter dramatically backtracked, claiming that the steamy photo – which he had even shared a cropped portion of in that first video – was not actually him, but rather an doctored image using his likeness.
‘It’s my face on someone else’s body,’ he suddenly claimed in the follow-up video. ‘I actually did think it was me and I kind of panicked. [But] it was AI-generated.’

Unfortunately, fans didn’t buy it – and not least because, as many pointed out, he was wearing that same silver necklace from the nude photo during his TikTok video.
‘Isn’t he wearing the same necklace as the guy in the picture?’ one commenter asked.
‘Who are you trying to fool?’ another chimed in.
But, perhaps most persuasive of all was the user who pointed out: ‘Surely you know what pictures you have taken.’
In response, Carter went quiet on the issue – though not before posting a series of hunky gym selfies on Saturday morning.
And it is in these photos that the smoking gun perhaps lies. Daily Mail analysis shows that Carter’s phone case, PopSocket and the stickers affixed to the back of his device in the gym selfies match the phone seen in the leaked nude.
All of which raises two questions: Was the ‘AI-generated’ claim truthful? Or, more troubling still, could Carter be deliberately fueling speculation around the nudes scandal in order to bolster his fame?
The answers to those questions, if we ever get them, might trouble many of Carter’s religious fans.

Carter got his start on the app Musical.ly, which eventually merged with TikTok in 2018, initially posting dance and lip-sync videos.
In 2019, his content shifted – focusing more on comedic sketches and confessionals from his personal life, such as sharing that he’d had a nose job.
Much of Carter’s content has a religious theme and some of his videos have been reenactments of Christian stories. Carter proudly displays a Bible verse in his bio.
More recently, his content has focused on pop culture news, sharing updates about celebrity goings-on.
Carter did not respond to requests comment.
