Life After Porn article in the Daily Beast, includes pictures, and mentions an upcoming documentary Exxxit: Life After Porn. From the documentary director, "For one reason or another," says Wagoner, "they didn't save any money, or if they did save some money, they'd lost it through some guy."

"The women who only did it for four to five years were the most jaded and had the toughest lives afterward."

Poor Gia, I feel sorry for the road she's on. If she had only been more like Nina and Amber, she wouldn't be facing such a hard future.

I can't find anything on Colleen "" Appleby.

That's Shauna Grant I suppose.

She didn't really have a life after porn. Only death.

Remove the term "Porn" and really, what industry does not have it's share of heartbreak and sad stories, Hollywood anyone.

No kidding. Try "Life after Rock". Go to youtube and look up the Stones "No Expectations"

I wonder who the male talent was that was banned from coaching his kids little league team?

Big shocker, the male talent didn't fare as poorly as the female talent did in post porn life. The sexist double standard hasn't changed much.

The article was kind of all over the place. He started out using examples of girls that were damaged, uneducated, and abused. Then said that the women who entering porn are educated, smart, and have a good head on their shoulders. So which is it?

I don't listen to Howard Stern too much anymore, but 9 times out of 10 every porn girl he interviewed said they had some kind of early trauma. It was always one of the first questions he would ask.

While some Hollywood directors may have many faults, none of them are foolish enough to record and then try to sell incriminating evidence for a profit. As far as I know, anyway. I don't watch many professional movies these days, porn or otherwise.

Don't get me wrong: I'm not suggesting that porn directors do that either. I mean, it's not as if the evidence is abundant and easy to find. No one's that stupid, right?

"Such is the case with many former porn stars, but trying to live in anonymity isn't easy. "We found many stories where people tried to move on only for their neighbors to find out that they once made a bunch of dirty movies," says Wagoner. ... One woman lost her real-estate job ..."

This is backwards. He meant to say her porn career died after they found out she worked in real estate. This business has standards, after all.
