She was also naïve to think that her real name and the names of her family members wouldn’t get leaked. Her mother, father, and siblings names are mentioned in a number of articles in “mainstream” newspapers. One article said that a professional page her dad had had been hacked and a photo of her was put on it and comments about her were left on review sites.

Sorry the press isn’t going to leave your family out of it dear.

The more mature and sophisticated she tries to be the more dazed & confused she reveals.

“Porn, as you know, is a 13billion dollar industry” Another name to ad to the list of porn star dupes and stooges. Kayden, James, Jessica, meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

I realize this is old news. We’ve all moved on, but I can’t resist. The lovely Belle was interviewed on TMZ. She should not be kicked out of Duke for doing porn; she should be kicked out of Duke for being a moron, who believes that porn is a $13 billion industry.

Q. Has anyone mentioned the hypocrisy of the guy who outed you, because obviously if he recognized you he was watching it, and yet he is going to make a big deal that you are acting in these films.

A. Absolutely. He just reflects the hypocrisy of our entire country. Porn as you know is a $13 billion industry…

Q. And are you going to keep doing porn?

A. Absolutely, I’m going to keep doing porn and grow my career and hopefully pay for college and maybe grad school.

I got news for her – grad school is probably off the table, at least a competitive grad school. Especially if she views porn as her “career.”

This comment was posted on a Duke blog that she writes on.

I will start off by saying that I have been in the adult industry for over 15 years now ( performing and directing ). I have to laugh everytime that we get one of these new girls with “knowledge” of the business. Sweetie, you’ve been in porn for 3 months now? You know absolutely nothing about the industry. Let me clarify a few things for you. 1. There are more than 2 female directors in porn. In fact, there are about 2 females for every 1 male director in this business. 2. You will have very little, and I mean very little, chance of making enough money to cover your tuition. Only about 5% of female performers make $50,000 or more a year. And that’s because they work 5 days a week all year. Being a full-time student, that’s going to be a little hard. Don’t forget you have to pay taxes, pay your representation, pay for tests, etc. 3. You did porn; everyone IS going to find out. No getting around it. Something that you should have prepared better for. Be prepared to lose friends a family because of it. 4. Throw this feminist crap right out the window. It won’t help you in this industry. I’m what many consider to be a strong-willed woman, and let me tell you that it’s hard to feel empowered with a cock shoved down your throat! There’s no room for martyrs in this business, especially when they have barely dipped their toes into it.4. You’re going to get an STD being in this line of work, probably more than one. Get use to it. You will also sustain injuries, most likely. This is the worst part of the business. 5. I worked with facialabuse.com when I was younger, dumbest move I ever made. Their not very popular among industry insiders. They set fully set my career back aways. 6. Be prepared to not be able to find a job when you’re through with porn. No one meaningful will hire you: no Fortune 500 company, no reputable law firm, any position that deals with children, etc. So if you did your “research” and knew this already, why you chose to go to a reputable school like Duke. What I mean is, isn’t the point of going a school such as Duke to get the best job that you can when you graduate? Well, you already threw that out the window.

I’m not saying these to discourage you. But, I don’t think you know as much as you think. This isn’t a glamorous line of work by any means. Hell, it’s barely work at all. There’s very little skill needed. It’s an means-to-an-ends kind of industry. Get what you need/want, get out and don’t look back. But if you keep up with the attitude that currently have, the industry and life in general are going to knock you on your ass. This will lead to you being one of the 99% if performers who don’t even last a year. I hope these words can be of use to you and good luck.

Sorry, but this chick’s story just doesn’t hold water to anyone who has gone through the experience of putting a kid through college (I have) or who knows anything about college financial aid. Is Duke expensive? Yes. Tuition, room and board, books, fees – the all in sticker price – is $61,000 a year according to Duke. The truth – as any parent knows – no one pays sticker unless you’re a wealthy foreigner who wants to go to school in the US or your the dim offspring of well-to-do alums – better known as a legacy student. Everyone else gets a discount.

Duke is known to be a very generous school. Here’s what Duke University says about attending Duke:

“Duke is strongly committed to its financial aid program and the principle that a student’s financial resources should not be a barrier to enrollment. We pledge to meet full demonstrated financial need for every one of our students. For U.S. citizens and permanent residents, Duke’s admissions policy is “need-blind,” which means that applicants are accepted based on their merits, regardless of their ability to pay for college. If you are admitted to Duke, we want to make it possible for you to be here. Our goal is to allow every admitted student to choose us.”

Duke also states that you can get up to $20,000 a year in financial aid if your families household income is as much as $160,000 a year, and that 52% of its incoming freshmen received some kind of financial aid. The average annual grant is $30,000.

Sorry, but this gal’s story – like every porn chick who says she was only interested in the biology lab and library until she started in porn – is about as real as Jenna Jameson’s vow to never spread her legs again.
