Kaelee Overfield Is Caught Red-Handed

Caught Red-Handed is a monthly interview series that begs the questions: What do cool people actually consume? What are their digital vices and indulgences?

In college, I had a childhood friend who went to a prestigious women’s university, where if you weren’t gay when you walked in, you probably would’ve had a taste of cherry ChapStick by the time you graduated.

One holiday weekend, over margaritas at the only hometown bar that stayed open past 8, she conspiratorially showed me a photo of a posterboard — the kind we used to use to make presentations about Henry Kissinger — littered with names, circles and dotted lines in black Sharpie. To put it simply, it was a handy-dandy guide of who had fucked who on campus, with a comical amount of overlap.

As it turns out, this kind of intertwined lesbian society doesn’t flame out once you remove the scenic quad and sexually charged rugby team from the equation. It runs just as rampant in Hollywood. Enter Kaelee Overfield, known on TikTok to her half a million followers as Kales_0, who’s generously dedicated her off-time from her work as a public defender to educating masses about the complex (and at times incestuous) hookups of social media’s most active lesbians.

She calls this domain Leztopia, and in many ways, she’s become a starring character despite living thousands of miles away from LA, where things like the Fletcher concert that shook the nation take place. JoJo Siwa, one of her most notorious subjects, even name-drops her during a convoluted summary of the evening on an episode of The Viall Files, where the straights are bewildered and befuddled, to say the least.

In honor of Byline’s “Freaking Out” issue, we invited Kaelee — or as The New York Times dubbed her, Lesbian Perez Hilton — to share her celebrity hot takes, guilty pleasures, and unrivaled Swiftie standom.
