Give her a small fucking break, will ya? Maybe she stopped drugging or is taking medications. There are many many medications that make you put weight on. Even if she's on some type of birth control, EX: the depo shot will put weight on you in a heartbeat. Some depression meds do it, bi polar meds do it, sleeping meds do it, theres many pills that do that to you, while helping you in one area, they make you extremely fat.
Being a porn star is largely (no pun intended) about visual exposure on 2D media. Her only job is to look good -- healthy, fit, in shape.
There are all kinds of fetishes for heavier, average, and even unkempt women in porn; it doesn't seem like that's how she is being marketed (or marketing herself) -- rather, she's holding herself up to be generically 'sexy'.
If she's packed twenty pounds more onto the same frame, and still believes she is entitled to star in porn, she should be shot in those lower-grade or fetish films, rather than be held up like nothing has changed. WE CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE.
To my mind, similar PWs get hired because of whatever their name stands for. What a scam on the consumers buying into that kind of 'brand', when a porn star starts obviously delivering a different product visually. If you like their look, great; but where does it end? What other traits of a porn star's appearance is she allowed a pass on? I see porn consumption as being an ephemeral or temporally disposable medium, and I for one don't care about the backstory behind today's movie. I only care that it gets the job done.
For example, who would be satisfied receiving the current skeletor Jenna Jameson when they were expecting her previously healthy / fit-looking self?

Its guys like you that make girls have eating disorders. And for what?, to please you guys? That is very sad indeed.
Why are you bringing up the extreme end of the spectrum (eating disorders) from where she is now -- isn't there a healthy (fit) medium in between?
I totally agree with you about drugs, birth control, antidepressants, etc being the potential cause of abnormal weight gain. Any of those causes are all it takes to push you outside marketabilty in any other modelling medium i've ever heard of -- I guess that speaks for how low the standards are in porn, that they'd still hire you for mainstream work once you (for whatever reason) changed your appearance, once you have an established brand.
I also can't help but think of the example they give in sales training, where any objection a customer gives you to purchasing is actually just an unanswered question on their part, waiting to be resolved. Maybe all the keyboard warriors attacking her slight weight gain aren't haters, but rather just avid fans who want their slim looking obsession back.
