Footage has surfaced of Nautica Malone stripping in Bikini Beans before committing suicide

Nautica Malone, a man from Tempe, Arizona, tragically took his own life after a video of him exposing himself to a barista at Bikini Beans Cove went viral.

The footage shows Malone driving up to the window of the Bikini Beans cafe, which is known for its scantily clad baristas. The barista, who is already filming, asks him if he’s been to the place before, and after he confirms it, she notices that he’s not wearing pants. She immediately tells Malone to leave, calling his behavior “unacceptable,” while she orders a colleague to call 911. Realizing he is being caught on camera, Malone quickly drives away.

The video garnered millions of views on major social media, prompting many to condemn Malone’s actions. Some viewers speculated that this might be repetitive behavior, given the barista’s willingness to go on record. Malone, who was married with children, faced widespread criticism for his actions.

Sadly, just a day after the video went viral, Malone’s family and friends shared emotional words on social media, revealing that he had taken his own life.

According to reports, Malone graduated from Central High School and was a varsity swimmer. He was married to Tori Malone and the couple had a baby about a year ago.

While some felt that the potential legal ramifications of his actions, such as indecent exposure charges, were not serious enough to warrant such a tragic outcome, others suggested that Malone may have been overwhelmed by the public exposure or feared further exposure of his past.
