Mia Khalifa and actresses who regretted working in porn
They have denounced exploitation, humiliation, illnesses and even consequences on their mental health.
Many people who have worked in the pornography industry have reported appalling working conditions, unfair pay, and constant humiliation and rights violations. Some retired stars from the industry have expressed solidarity with those who still suffer the consequences that they suffered at the time and support them in the difficult retirement processes. Meet the porn stars who regretted working in the industry.
Mia khalifa
The 26-year-old Lebanese worked for more than a year in the porn industry, becoming the most popular porn actress in the world in her debut year (2014). Khalifa has started several discussions after some controversy.
At the time, she recorded a pornographic video in which she appeared with a hijab (Islamic veil), generating controversy. Also, her relationship with Robert Sandberg, whom she will marry, has been widely criticized for having a courtship and future marriage after being a porn star.
Despite all the controversy, Khalifa's message is clear. After her retirement from porn, she suffered from self-esteem issues from all the troubles she suffered from ever acting in an adult movie. "I feel like everyone sees me naked all the time. I can't go to a job interview without thinking that the person speaking to me is sexualizing me," she confessed to the BBC.
Vanessa belmond
She worked for more than 7 years in pornography. She entered that world when she was just 18 years old and worked in different films until she was 25. In an interview that is part of the 'Date my Pornstar' format, she revealed that after her first recording she contracted chlamydia. She also said that at some point she suffered from other sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea.
When retiring from pornography, she confessed the conditions of the industry do not ensure the health of the actresses. On many occasions, taking a lot of pain relievers that she required for some scenes affected her. She is another former porn actress who wants to help keep young women out of that world.
Montana Fishburne
She is better known by the nickname 'Chippy D' or as the daughter of Lawrence Fishburne ('Morpheus' in The Matrix). She recorded only one porn movie that caused her father to cut off communication with her. This film caused controversy and a legal mess for the production company, as rehearsal videos were leaked without Montana's consent. That caused her to withdraw from the industry, the Daily Mail reported.
The British media also revealed that Fishburne was arrested for driving under the influence and is currently in a rehab program.
Shelley lubben
Shelley Lynn Moore is one of the most important examples of the sequels that leave the demands of working in pornography. It was in the story for two years (1993 and 1994). Her first film was recorded at the age of 24.
After being sexually assaulted at age 9, Lubben was a prostitute from 18 to 26. She struggled for many years with her addictions to drugs and alcohol.
At the end of her pornographic career, she confessed to contracting herpes that ended up causing cervical cancer that forced her to remove her cervix. She accused that filming in pornography is harmful to physical and mental health. She even created the Pink Cross Foundation that helped people who wanted to leave the industry and raised funds for those addicted to porn, sex and drugs.
Bree Olson
Rachel Marie Oberlin is also known for being Charlie Sheen's girlfriend in 2001. She made more than 400 adult films and confesses to having regretted working in the porn industry.
She stated that after her retirement it was very difficult for her to reinstate herself in society and get a normal job. She says that many assume the worst in her and that her reputation is not the best. She said that former porn actresses face a traumatic reality at retirement time because it is very difficult to start another career without being judged and without the doors being closed because of their past in porn.
In an interview with CNN, Oberlin revealed details about her bad days in the industry and how difficult it has been to rebuild her life. In addition, she recommended young women not to start a porn career.
Jenna presley
'Brittni Ruiz' was the name with which she signed her pornographic performances. She appeared in more than 300 films, becoming one of the most recognized actresses in the industry. However, she confessed to being regretful and traumatized from all the years in which she worked in pornography.
She stated that she lived 'tortured' for several years in an interview with the UK Daily Mail. In addition, she revealed that she contracted gonorrhea and became addicted to drugs and alcohol that depressed her so much that she attempted suicide on one occasion.
She confesses to having found a kind of improvement in the religion she practices leading an evangelical church.
Erin moore
She has appeared in more than 60 adult films since she began her porn career at the age of 21. Moore is now an activist demanding the rights of women in the industry that she calls macho.
In an investigation published in 'CovenantEyes', he admitted that the work environment of the industry is not optimal and that the presence of psychoactive substances is permanent: "Ecstasy, cocaine, marijuana, Xanax, Valium, Vicodin and alcohol. Those were the drugs that we always took them. "
Jessie rogers
At just 18 years old, she entered the pornographic industry, in which she recorded more than 115 films. She said that the pressure from the producers ended up convincing her to undergo cosmetic surgeries such as a breast implant.
Also, she reported being beaten on the set by actors and directors when the cameras were not recording. She is also part of an anti-corruption organization in which she hopes her life story will inspire women to exit the industry and others to never enter.
