Murder on the Porn Set
Sun, 06/06/2010 - 18:03 | by Shelley Lubben"It wasn’t supposed to happen this way."
On Tuesday June 1st, investigators say porn star Stephen Hill killed a coworker and injured two others in a sword attack at a porn studio in Van Nuys. The victim was 30-year-old male porn actor Herbert Wong. The sad and tragic events don't end there. A police manhunt ensued and Stephen was tracked down at his Chatsworth home. The 34-year-old porn star died after falling from a cliff after a standoff with an LAPD SWAT team. He was heard to have said shortly before his death, "It wasn’t supposed to happen this way."
On Thursday June 3rd, 28-year-old porn star Amanda Logue aka Sunny Dae was arrested for murdering a client during a prostitution act, stabbing her client in the back and beating his face to a bloody pulp with a sledgehammer, stealing about $6000 cash, a home depot card and electronics. The victim was a male client who had booked her for a sex party. She is married and has a 9-year-old daughter.
Precious and greatly loved people are now gone. It wasn’t supposed to happen this way. Porn promised the "glamorous" life for these people and instead has brought death and destruction. Parents have lost their sons. A daughter has lost her mother. Children lost their father. And the list goes on and on.
Porn KILLS. If you are in the porn industry, get out while you can. Your life is worth more than what porn offers. If you are watching porn, please STOP! Stop contributing to the destruction of human lives!

Shelley goes to Washington

On Tuesday June 15th, Shelley Lubben and other porn activists and scholars gathered in Washington, D.C. to educate Congress on the negative effects of pornography and to urge enforcement of existing law against the illegally operating porn industry.
The event was led by pornharms.com and Patrick A. Trueman, former chief of the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, U.S. Department of Justice. This truly historic meeting was open to the public and a standing-room-only crowd was on hand to hear the shocking details. There were 23 congressional staff who signed in for the briefing.
The speakers presented powerful evidence and shared their testimonies of the toxic nature of porn in their lives, the lives of children and families, and the society as a whole. Porn literally damages everyone it touches – from those who consume it to those who produce it and perform in it.
"Porn is not glamorous. Porn destroys human lives and is destroying our nation. But we can change. We can heal and I am living proof of that," said Lubben.
Shelley Lubben, former porn actress, unmasked porn for what it truly is by speaking about “The Truth Behind the Fantasy of Porn”:
Gail Dines spoke on how “Pornography Debases Men, Women and Culture”:
Mary Anne Layden spoke on “How Addiction Harms the Person”:
Laura Lederer spoke on “Pornography’s Link to Sex Trafficking”:
Sharon Cooper spoke on how “Pornography Harms Children”:
Donna Rice Hughes spoke about “Children’s Easy Access to Hardcore Internet Pornography”:
Patrick Trueman spoke regarding “Action Steps for Congress”:
While in D.C., Shelley was also interviewed for an ABC Nightline segment as they reported on the risks of ‘Adult Entertainment’:
19 Year Old Porn Star Ami Jordan Dies
Mon, 06/21/2010 - 02:42 | by Shelley LubbenAmi Jordan, 1990-2010
19 year old porn star Ami Jordan passed away in her sleep last Friday, June 11.
Jordan’s time in porn was cut short in the industry after entering porn in 2008 and appearing in only about 20 movies. A memorial service for friends and family will be held Tuesday evening in her Tennesee hometown.
Jordan worked for adult companies including Hustler Video, Vivid Entertainment, Red Light District, Immoral Productions and Lethal Hardcore.
Did the lethal and toxic porn industry kill her?
Type 9 Models owner Kevin Kline, the agent who represented Ami throughout her time in the industry, says in AVN interview: "She had a problem with pills, and she asked me to help monitor that usage of pills and what she was taking."
Agents and pornographers acting as doctors? Isn’t that illegal? Did her agent knowingly send her to do scenes while she was under the influence of drugs?
Her agent Kline also admits that this pill addiction was likely to blame. "I can tell you that I have my suspicions of exactly what happened, and my guess is that she took too many of them," he said. "But that's just speculation, for sure.
"She was a super sweet girl. Always a good girl."
A super sweet girl who had no idea what she was getting into and that she would die at age 19 in the porn industry. This abuse must stop. Please do YOUR part and stop viewing pornography and contributing to deaths like Ami’s.
Please pray for Ami’s family. They are devastated.
