From her bio:
"I ended up in the San Fernando Valley with no food and no money. A “nice†man saw I was upset and told me how sorry he was. He put his arm around me and consoled me and then offered to help me. But then he told me he knew a man who wanted to have sex with me and he'd give me money. I was still in shock and so full of rage because my parents kicked me out that I didn’t care anymore so I accepted his offer.
I sold myself for $35 and a life of prostitution began for me."
