Footage emerges of Nautica Malone exposing himself at 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 baristas at a Bikini Beans drive-thru went viral.
In the footage, Malone is seen pulling up to the drive-thru window at the Bikini Beans coffee stand, which is known for its scantily clad baristas. A barista, already filming, asks him if he has visited the establishment before, and upon his confirmation, she notices he is not wearing pants. Immediately, she tells Malone to leave, calling his behavior “unacceptable” while instructing a colleague to call 911. Realizing he was being filmed, Malone quickly drives away.

Malone graduated from Central High School and was a former varsity swimmer, reports say. He was married to Tori Malone, and the couple had their baby approximately a year ago.
While some believed the potential legal consequences of his actions—such as indecent exposure charges—were not severe enough to warrant such a tragic outcome, others speculated that Malone may have been overwhelmed by the public exposure or feared further revelations from his past.
