Duke University porn star who once said “porn is empowering” tells the real heartbreaking story
The Young Conservatives ^ | 9/27/2014 | Joshua Riddle

Posted on 09/28/2014 2:54:44 PM PDT by Beave Meister

A student at Duke University started doing porn to pay for her tuition. She became a media sensation and liberals everywhere loved telling her story. She would do interviews and say things like porn is “empowering” and “freeing”.

She is in a documentary coming up and now that she has been in the industry for a little bit her view of porn has dramatically shifted.

“The sex industry has a way of making you very cynical and very bitter,” a tired-looking Weeks tells an off-camera interviewer, “In a way I’ve started to become kind of a bit bitter and a bit cynical.”

Why? “It teaches you to be street smart and not to trust people…I’m so used to being on the lookout for scammers, people who are going to try pimp me out or traffic me. I think my experiences have aged me. I don’t have the mind of an eighteen-year-old. I have the emotional baggage of someone much, much older than me.”

That was before she got a few things that wouldn't wash off.

Has anyone considered this may be just a publicity stunt, runner up for a new movie? This isn’t a stable and moral mind we are dealing with here.

Sadly she is still learning it. At the end of the article:

“I think about my mom a lot when I do porn scenes. Just how sad she would be that her little daughter was doing this.”

Our prayers for Miriam and all the other girls lost in the pornography industry need to be diligent.

Had to laugh, although it’s not funny - all of the adds at the site are “hottest celebrity breasts”, “miracle skinny pills”, “best butts”, etc.

She’s so experienced. So worldly. So “cool”.

Now that you have been violated in every orifice on camera for all the world to see, you have had a change of heart ?

Maybe you should have listened to the people who have gone before you.

This dingbat might have got to the point of believing that any 5 words she puts together constitutes a thought. And she can put them together with some skill. Observe:

“For me, shooting pornography brings me unimaginable joy. When I finish a scene, I know that I have done so and completed an honest day’s work. It is my artistic outlet: my love, my happiness, my home.

I can say definitively that I have never felt more empowered or happy doing anything else. In a world where women are so often robbed of their choice, I am completely in control of my sexuality. As a bisexual woman with many sexual quirks, I feel completely accepted. It is freeing, it is empowering, it is wonderful, it is how the world should be.”

Its so freeing that she will have multiple STDs and some that have no cure by the time she’s 30.

Her love of money made her embrace this evil.

Sad.

“Humans are not capable of making long term, rational decisions in their late teens and early 20s.”

What nonsense. If you’re an idiot, then you’ll make stupid decisions your whole life. This just an excuse to do whatever you want and then blame your youth for doing things you probably knew were stupid. It’s the result of this “no consequence” culture. People used to be married and working jobs by the age of 20. Instead we’ve been allowed to prolong our youth, and that’s why young men and women are virtually babies who vote based on what they “want” instead of what the country needs.

“Life has consequences !!”

I Would say Decisions have Consequences and Bad Decisions have Bad Consequences. Too Bad so many have to learn them through trial and error vice from Faith, Morals,and Advice.

I’ve never really understood the distinction between being a prostitute and being a porn start. In the end, they are both selling sex for $$

exactly.... both are hor-ders

Yes, but she hasn’t caught-on, yet. She isn’t exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.

They must leave a bad taste in her mouth!!

I am betting she was unable to tell the truth because she was trying to convince herself that everything was okay.

But, it never was. Sounds like she got caught up in the moment and when she was vulnerable, there were people just laying in wait.

I feel for her. I really do. People who use you for their own gain can inflict irreparable damage.

One may ask what mental aliments are these women potentially suffering from that adds to the poor decision making process, that makes them say yes to this negative business. FR'r mental health pro's please chime in, as to what illnesses are found in this industry.

I think that's exactly what this is. The kid has the morals of a sociopath. This latest stunt is probably intended to buy her another 15 minutes.
