Duke University porn star who once championed porn as empowering is now having second thoughts about the choices she made

Miriam Weeks, AKA Belle Knox, has one strong hamster running around her brain. She spent much of the past year milking her 15 minutes as the Duke University porn queen, by voicing her beliefs that porn is the BOMB! She used words like “empowering,” “freeing” and “the way the world should be.”
And of course she rationalised her student job as a way to fund her tuition and graduate free of debt…kind of like what strippers do.
As with all female hamster logic, the porn documentary shows that while Knox was all “yo go girl, porn rulz” during her neo-liberal media blitz, the fact that she is getting used as a human cum dump is starting to break through her feminist facade.
Some choice quotes from the documentary as highlighted by Life Site News:

“A lot of s**t in my life has been ruined because of sex.”

When you bang 4 dudes a day that tends to happen.

“The sex industry has a way of making you very cynical and very bitter,” a tired-looking Weeks tells an off-camera interviewer, “In a way I’ve started to become kind of a bit bitter and a bit cynical.”

When you bang 20 dudes a week that usually tires you out.

“It [porn] teaches you to be street smart and not to trust people…I’m so used to being on the lookout for scammers, people who are going to try pimp me out or traffic me. I think my experiences have aged me. I don’t have the mind of an eighteen-year-old. I have the emotional baggage of someone much, much older than me.”

 
When you bang 3 chics before lunch time that usually makes you jaded and distrustful.

Miriam herself admits that her first scene, shot for a company she refers to as “Facial Abuse,” was “a really, really rough scene. I wasn’t prepared for how rough it was. It was weird having some random photographer watch me have my a** kicked on camera.” She talks about getting literally torn up during porn shoots. She admits that porn shoots in which she was physically beaten up until she sobbed were probably shoots she should have refused. Yet she didn’t.

Is this empowerment and freedom of porn she championed all last year?

For one shoot, Miriam recalls almost tearfully, her agent wouldn’t tell her who she had to “work with.” When she arrived at the set, she realized he was fifty years old. She wanted to leave, but then she’d have to pay a 300 dollar “kill fee,” the director would have been furious, and, she says, she could never have worked for that company again. So she did it.
“I felt like crying during the entire scene and afterwards I was really, really upset,” Miriam says tearfully to the camera, looking like nothing more than the hurting 18-year-old girl she is. “I just thought of my mom, who was always there for me and always protected me…I think about my mom a lot when I do porn scenes. Just how sad she would be that her little daughter was doing this.”

Trying to get some sympathy from the white knights.

“People see Belle, but they don’t see Miriam,” she says sadly, “I think I’m…Miriam right now?”

Free will is a bitch…but you made your bed, you will always be Belle Knox.
