I never heard of Jessie before this thread. Yeah, she did quite a bit of work in the industry, with 10 pages of links. She is pretty; I can see where she did modeling before responding to the CL ad. I only looked at a few of the links post boob-job, but I like them so far.
Regarding her diatribe: I'm skeptical about her painting the ENTIRE industry, with her paint brush / experiences. No industry could survive if it treated ALL of their employees that badly. No matter how much money they pay you.
I read the other posts on this topic, and I agree, that she likely got in "over her head." Her initial porn studio had her booked for MONTHS, the day she turned 18? Talk about a baptism by fire. And her complaint about getting the royal flush treatment: if you know a male actor has a BDSM / perverted reputation, WHY put yourself in a situation like that, alone with him??? I think she should look in the mirror for blame, as much as the parts of the industry she dealt with.
I'll agree that a lot of what she is talking about is specific to the industry a few years ago. It seems like a lot of her bad experiences were with the traditional porn studios based out of L.A. A lot of them have died out even in the last few years. It seems like the culture is changing overall. People complained about "reality porn" but I think that is part of the wave that is driving healthier norms within an otherwise unhealthy industry.
