...Do you do anything to help anyone in this industry? Pink Cross has helped many women/men despite what you think of Shelley herself. Many in this industry support her and what her organization does. You make it seem like she’s Pastor Melissa Scott flying around in private jets and living in mansions. Go after someone like her.

How much do you think an charity trying to help porn stars takes in? This isn’t Children Of The Night which probably makes millions because they deal with underage prostitutes with many in mainstream Hollywood donating. There have been many testimonials from former performers who have been helped by Pink Cross. Many currently in this industry publicly and privately support what Shelley does.

You go against Pink Cross because porn stars who want help have to get a full time job and completely leave porn and receive no residuals from porn. Well of course they can’t receive anything from porn. If someone has a drinking problem, would you tell them to keep on working at the local bar? And they need a job I would assume so they can start to get back on their feet again so they won’t fall back into porn. It would defeat Shelley’s purpose in helping these women if they’re still working in porn.

People go against the gift cards she gives out to shop at Target or Walmart. I have heard how many in this industry conned Shelley and also xxxChurch and took the cash that was given to them to spend it on drugs or give it to their boyfriends. Many never intended on leaving porn but wanted the money Shelley and these other organizations used to freely give out. So she either now gives out these cards or pays a specific bill where she knows exactly where the money is going to.

You go against the wishlist she has with the makeup she asks on it. Those are to put into the handbags Pink Cross gives out at the conventions they go to. If I’m feeling like shit, a bag of beauty products would make any woman feel a little bit better for the day. I saw a video once of Shelley preparing these bags and the process of what goes into collecting everything.

She helps those who want to be helped. his industry chews up and spits out the performers while no one helps them. But a former porn star is trying to help the best she can and you find fault in that?

I’m sure Shelley knows the industry will never be shut down. But like many, she wants to see a safer environment for the performers and wants them treated better instead of how badly they are treated by the people who run the industry. I had been minutes away many times from posting about the new rapes and gangrapes happening on & off set currently in this industry. But I’m then told I can’t or else I’ll be the one arrested because I would be making public of an ongoing police investigation.

You make it seem like this industry is full of rainbows and butterflies when it’s mostly a sewer of lost souls being abused, manipulated, conned, and robbed constantly by the people who run this industry. Many leave this industry in more debt than when they had first entered it. Many leave this industry as drug addicts when they never touched drugs before. Many leave this industry with STDs when they never had them before. But the constant lie put out into the mainstream press by the Jenna Jameson’s of the world that said how empowering this industry and a great career for women because of how much “power and control” they have. Jenna never had any power. It was given to her by her current husband Jay. Then the so-called queen of porn is crying on Oprah asking what am I going to tell my kids when they’re older.
