Ex Porn Star Stories

I was a stripper, model and porn star from 1995-2006. I am formerly known as Alexa Milano.

I was naïve when I first started stripping. A friend of mine suggested I try out on “audition” night at a local strip club and of course my heart was saying, “No, I can’t do this!” But I saw girls dancing and men literally throwing money at them on the stage!!! But I still couldn’t do it.

The Hardcore Story of Porn Star Michelle Avanti

My name is Madelyne but I am also known as porn actress Michelle Avanti who has done over 100+ XXX hardcore movies.

My real name is Christina, not Crissy. “Crissy” was a name that came later and has just sort of stuck. I am quite often asked how someone like me ended up in the adult film industry. I made some really bad choices in life and I do take full responsibility for them. I will not be able to easily escape the reminders of my past because it is something I have no control over. I know that is not who I am anymore.

Ex Porn Star Tamra Toryn

I just want to find peace which has eluded me my entire life. I was molested by the son of my parents best friends when I was 12 until I was almost 16. I had other isolated incidences before that but this is where it all started to mess me up totally. I never told my family or anyone at the church because I didn't want to ruin their friendship. I don't want to hurt my mom now. He molested me for 3 years every chance we were alone.

Jan, formerly known as Elizabeth Rollings, left porn in October, 2007 and shares her story in an interview with Shelley Lubben.

SL: How did you get into the sex industry?

     I was always the type to need to be center of attention. If I wasn't the center of attention, I felt like the outcast. It's usually either one or the other, no middle ground for people like us. Furthermore, no amount of attention (with the exception of from the occasional stalker which was too much attention) was really satisfying. I'm currently finding out that it's not necessarily "human" attention I've been looking for – even though that's where I obsessively look for it.

I met Kristenye, formerly known as Diamond, on Myspace and was immediately drawn to her because I something very special in her. In only a few months Kristenye has quit the adult industry and is now in recovery. She now wants to use her story to help others learn the truth about the porn industry and to inspire women to leave the sex industry.

I started in the porn industry back in 2003 when I was 19. It started with me doing a little nude modeling here and there, then it progressed into internet work and then I met an "agent". It all went downhill from there. The money was great for a 19 year old! But I didn't enjoy being on set and feeling degraded.
