Mike wrote a post along the lines of many porn girls have escaped porn and gone on to normal lives. He is so much closer to this than am I, an observer from afar, but I’m sure that’s true. People like Carmen Luvana, who Mike was close to, appear to have left their porn pasts behind them. Just disappeared from the face of the porn earth. To me, the most interesting story along those lines is Ashlyn Gere, who was at one time my absolutely favorite porn star; there was always a sense of dignity about her, regardless of what she did on camera; she even managed to work for Rob Black without picking up a lot of the dirt although I think it ruined her career; and she left it all behind; moved with her husband and kid to a non-descript town in the southwest; and started a business that is so far from porn as to be unbelievable. If you see fairly recent photos of her, she is the every day small business owner and mom who Bree says she wants to be.

She did exactly what Rawalex is advising – she stopped being Ashlyn Gere. I think Ashlyn Gere became a star in a different era – she broke out in the VHS age, when guys like me had to go to the local video store to rent her tapes, and was out before the Internet really broke through but especially before Twitter. Porn stars weren’t so out there. But, she did it.

Other than Donny being in the industry you are correct saying that BT’s article is actually quite current even though it was written seven years ago. I don’t personally call women whores while I am sleeping with them (can’t recall ever doing so, actually) but we have to realize that while filming they are actors and what appears on America’s Cutest Miss Piggy Cum Swallowing Gaping Whore Fucking and Puking On The Director For $2500 (purposely a title that has not been used) for Max Hardcore Jail Bird “Let’s Use a Speculum On An 18 Year Old Felon” Pictures, JM “Lets Make Those Chicks Gape” Productions or Rob Black “Male Ass Fuckee” Pictures is not real life and actors should not be held to the persona that is portrayed in such a movie (including Bree). I also agree that Bree needs to become Rachel (or whatever her legal name is) again and learn to live a life outside of porn if she wants to remain outside the industry.

In Bree’s case, she has forgotten to be Rachel, and instead has become absolutely, totally Bree Olsen. For a girl who retired from porn a long time ago, she continues to cultivate and maintain the Bree Olsen persona on social media and such, and the video posted was put up by “Bree Olsen”. It’s a fail from start to finish.

It doesn’t help her that she has apparently continued to maintain her standing as “miss piggy”, a girl who was a very willing pornstar and got naked and fucked in many questionable places, and who was well known for her “privates” that were, well, very open.

My suggestion: Stop being Bree Olsen. Turn off the twitter account. Stop playing the character. Go Back to being Rachel, and try to build yourself a life as that quiet girl. Being public as a pornstar long after you stopping taking it in the ass on camera is dumb.

I just read my post from 2009. I’m happy to be held to the opinion. I would’ve written the same thing today.

@mharris

Read the post….it’s amazingly current despite being written about an event from 2009. The joke followed with explaination that if she allows people to call her names on set and her brand marketing strategy is participating in a shock jock show it ought to be expected they’re going to follow form. If her schtick were …call me diva Bree…they’d address her as diva…it isn’t and they don’t.

@BT – “I see a 30 or 40 year old and I figure, well, she made her choices. I might as well enjoy them.” You have a fantastic brain. That’s hilarious and smart.

@Ivy and because I’m as fun as a barrel of monkeys today:

@mharris127 Amen brother. I never lose the hope that people can change and evolve their opinions. I never hold my breath for that possibility, but I never discount that its possible.

Holding someone to an opinion they stated seven years ago is not reasonable in many cases. I know my opinions have evolved over the past seven years — I have become more liberal politically, am more tolerant of the far out there acts in porn, have changed my opinion of a certain flip-flop swinging felon with a pegging fetish (hitting unprovoked a female porn director in the head with a beer bottle, writing exposes with half-truths and outright lies about people and being arrested for beating your wife in anger four times in less than one year tends to do that), etc.

You and Bree were both consistent. Between the joke, bubba show and PSA timing it made me chuckle too.
