“And I also just got tired of working day to day in a way that wasn’t satisfying my soul,” the 23-year-old Nashville, Tennessee resident continued. “I feel like doing this kind of work, I’m able to ‘satisfy’ other people, but that feels good because it’s not in a way that makes me feel violated.”

But porn and sex work will further traumatize her.
I’m saddened and frankly disgusted by this story.
Does she not have anyone who knows what it means to love and care for her?
I saw the article about Steven Spielberg’s daughter. Very sad, very very sad. We must pray for her. Pornography is very unhealthy and destroys your mind.

🗣How would you react if your child wanted to do porn? pic.twitter.com/goqevuuiKH
If that truly made her happy then she would have my support. I of course would be on her about safety etc. LOL but ultimately it is her choice. It’s a job not who she is.

From my understanding of the interview w/her she said for the last couple of years she nearly drank herself to death, twice. By choosing this profession, she feels empowered & happy. I would rather have a child that is alive & thriving than dead. Sad it took porn. Hope she’s safe

Would I WANT that life for my child – nope. Are they happy with their work though? Are they safe? That’s the most important thing

She sounds like she’s had a lot of stuff to get over. I would do my best to discourage my daughter from this type of “work”. There are other ways to you feel good about yourself.

I know too many people whose lives have been turned upside down by porn. I know nobody who has been empowered by it. Doesn’t mean she’s wrong, but I’ve not seen any positive from it.

No other goals just capitalize on body? How about capitalize a hustle or just learn to day trade dads money or start up an agency with dads name? Porn? That’s the go to?? Streets is dead pic.twitter.com/8St8tR5BG8

Nothing wrong with an adult choosing to do what she wants.

She is getting a job that real people do to get by and survive everyday instead or depending on Hollywood nepotism to build her career. People should be good this. Sex work is real work.
