00:00:00.000 to put it on your childhood when you're born in America, one of the greatest places to be alive
00:00:06.520 in the country ever, and one of the freest times ever to be alive, there's just no excuse. There's
00:00:12.840 none. So I wanted to start with maybe your story, if that's all right with you. I've heard it on a
00:00:21.740 few podcasts, but I just kind of wanted to reiterate it for the audience. So when did you
00:00:27.260 get into porn? Actually, I'm going to say corn for the purpose of the show, if that's all right. 0.70
00:00:33.680 Yeah. It was in 2005. I was 18 years old. Okay. And how long were you in the industry for? Do you
00:00:44.860 want to talk about the conversion story? Yeah, of course. I was in the industry for seven years,
00:00:51.640 and, uh, you want me to talk about what, as I got out or like, do you want anything in between?
00:00:58.820 Yeah. I just want to hear it from start to finish. Like how old were you when you started? How long
00:01:03.460 did you do it? Um, when did it end? How did it end? Okay. So from 18 to about 25, 20, almost 26.
00:01:13.380 Um, and I honestly got into that industry, just super broken and looking for love in all the wrong
00:01:20.380 places. Um, I had an encounter with God, uh, like my three and a half year mark. I had been using,
00:01:26.940 uh, heroin and I couldn't get ahold of any and was just like, I'm going to end my life if I don't get
00:01:33.320 help. And my grandmother came and she picked me up and I detoxed from her house or at her house. And
00:01:40.500 then, uh, my grandfather who is remarried had been going to church with his wife and I asked if I
00:01:46.500 could join them, went to church, um, received Jesus as my Lord and savior. Didn't really go back
00:01:52.280 to church after that. Um, men were very much my weakness and I got involved in a relationship with
00:01:58.600 a guy that was a pimp. And then I got back into the industry for another three or three and a half
00:02:04.560 years. Um, but I really started to read the Bible and not with a deep understanding by any means. Um,
00:02:13.100 and I started to just kind of hear from God, like, and I remember one day feeling like I need to leave
00:02:19.400 this guy. And I was just like, I don't know who I'm going to call. And I felt the impression of God
00:02:24.940 tell me to call my mom. And I'm just like, instantly, like, I can't call her, you know? And, um,
00:02:29.580 he's just like, call humble yourself and call your mom. And so I did just that. And she came,
00:02:35.920 picked me up. I got out of his house within, I don't know, a half hour or so. And then I went to
00:02:41.060 go film what would become my very last porn scene. I brought my Bible on the airplane that day and
00:02:46.740 I'm reading revelation chapter two, verse 20 through 23. And I'm paraphrasing, but it says that
00:02:52.100 I have this thing against you. You tolerate that woman named Jezebel. She leads my people into sexual 1.00
00:02:57.140 immorality. I've given her time to repent. If she doesn't repent, I'll cast her and all who commit 0.81
00:03:02.460 immorality into a sick bed along with her. And in that moment, I'm just like crying on the airplane 0.99
00:03:07.180 because it was kind of like the lights finally turned on in my life. I was obviously not a woman
00:03:11.460 of conviction at that point in my life. And I feel just the grace of God come over me. And he's just
00:03:17.320 like, Brittany, this is not the life that I have for you. The life that I have for you will overflow with
00:03:22.040 so much love and peace and joy. And if you would quit this business today, I would bless your life
00:03:26.360 like no man ever could. And I was broken. And that word just gave me so much hope that I quit the
00:03:32.760 industry that day. And I started following Jesus after that. Okay. So you said you were super broken
00:03:41.240 and looking for love in all the wrong places when you started. What does that mean? Super broken?
00:03:49.820 I grew up in a very abusive household. I did not know my value or my worth. And then here's
00:03:56.300 an industry that's not only promising money, but they feed you everything you want to hear
00:04:01.940 like, Oh, you're beautiful. We love you. You know, all those words that I believe every
00:04:07.160 child should hear as they're growing up in their household. And I started to hear those
00:04:11.920 and it was kind of like just this pole. And then this promise of, Oh, you're going to be
00:04:15.780 famous. And it was kind of like, well, if enough people know my name, then, you know, maybe
00:04:19.660 that will somehow make me hate myself less.
00:04:22.360 Well, and you were pretty famous, weren't you? I mean, I wasn't, I think I was pretty
00:04:26.060 young when you were.
00:04:27.960 How old are you?
00:04:29.140 I'm 28. So I'm assuming this was like 10 years ago, maybe.
00:04:33.840 I quit the industry 13 years ago.
00:04:36.000 13 years ago. Yeah. So I don't think I would have known, but I mean, you were on Howard Stern.
00:04:41.960 You did a bunch of like big shows. Is that true?
00:04:43.940 Yep. I did Howard Stern a few times. Maxim Magazine named me their top 12 hottest porn stars.
00:04:53.240 Won awards and things like that. I mean, nothing that I'm proud of, but yeah, I experienced what
00:04:58.180 I wanted to experience in that industry, but it still wasn't enough.
00:05:02.000 Okay. And you said, are you in a super abusive household? Is that like physical abuse, verbal
00:05:07.760 abuse? Like what? Both and. Okay. And that was your mother or your father or both?
00:05:14.820 My mom. Okay. You know, mothers are more likely to abuse children than fathers, but no one ever 1.00
00:05:21.120 believes that stat. Yeah. Well, that was my experience. Yeah. Most people's. Okay. So then
00:05:28.860 we're going to move on to the relationship with a pimp. So you started dating a pimp and then you 0.80
00:05:34.060 became like a prostitute. I mean, yes, I was doing escorting before I met him. Um, and then getting 0.99
00:05:43.520 into a relationship with him. Basically the difference was, you know, I was working and he was taking my
00:05:49.020 money. Okay. One of my most proudest moments. Okay. So like, so this is over the
00:05:58.840 course of like seven years, eight years, total seven years, seven years. Okay. And then you
00:06:04.380 started to read the Bible and you started to hear from God and then you started to go to church,
00:06:11.080 but it sounds like you kind of slid back. And then. Oh, you went to church once. Then you did more
00:06:18.600 porn after, right? No. Then I got involved with the pimp. The pimp was actually a backslidden 0.99
00:06:24.360 Christian. And I told him that I told him one day that I felt like I was just like demonically
00:06:29.760 possessed. And he took me to church and I got baptized. I went to church a couple of times
00:06:34.260 with him. Um, and then after that, I didn't really get active in church again until I left
00:06:41.080 him. Okay. So then, so when you actually got back into the church, what were you doing then?
00:06:48.500 Were you actually done with the porn the second time around?
00:06:51.040 Yeah, I was done. I was completely done with porn. I had to look for a job for months because I didn't
00:06:57.320 have a resume. What do you write on your resume when you've done porn since you're 18? Uh, there 0.79
00:07:01.400 was a pretty big gap from my job at like 16, 17 to when I started applying. So, but I found a job. Uh,
00:07:08.800 I started working as a receptionist making $11 and 25 cents an hour. It was very humbling. Um, but my bank
00:07:16.100 account was empty, but my heart was full because I started to really encounter the love of God.
00:07:21.160 As most of you know, I have been fighting on the front lines of the simp epidemic for years, but I
00:07:26.600 need to tell you about a quiet weapon being ratcheted up against men that is rarely talked about. It's
00:07:31.540 not just the relentless anti-masculinity propaganda and OnlyFans hoes causing the societal issues that 1.00
00:07:37.520 we discuss on the show. Did you know that the average city's tap water contains trace pharmaceuticals
00:07:42.940 and endocrine disruptors? This often includes estrogen from birth control. The average adult
00:07:48.060 consumes a credit card worth of plastic every single week. That's five grams of plastic a week
00:07:53.240 on average. So it's no wonder that the average male's testosterone is half of what the average
00:07:58.360 was 50 years ago. Testosterone levels decline 1% a year. And without a course correction, we are headed
00:08:04.420 towards extinction. No matter how based you are, you need to be naturally boosting your testosterone.

00:09:01.360 Okay. And that was when you started, that was when you met your husband after that?
00:09:06.340 I met my husband. We, we didn't, we got married about three years after I became a Christian.
00:09:13.960 So I had met him. He was, uh, the young adult pastor at our church and he preached a message
00:09:21.120 that literally changed my life. He was like, I have to tell the, like, he was like just speaking
00:09:25.680 to the women in the audience. And he said, you need to know that, um, one of the things he said is that
00:09:31.280 if you don't like what you're attracting, change what you're promoting. When I heard that it was kind of
00:09:35.440 like, again, the lights went on, I'm like, Oh, duh. Like how obvious that I have been only attracting
00:09:41.080 men that want me for my body because that's all that I promote. So I went home and like deleted
00:09:45.880 all of my social media accounts that were attached to my former self, um, got rid of all provocative
00:09:52.480 photos, uh, that, you know, that were on my pages. And then I also deleted the account. So.
00:09:57.220 Okay. So how soon was it after that, that you began like doing what you're doing now? Like
00:10:05.040 the podcasting, the, I don't know, I'm assuming you seem like you would do the, I went to Catholic
00:10:10.820 school and we would have like chastity speakers. I don't know if you do something like that,
00:10:15.980 but the listening to some of your stuff, it sounds like you, you may have done something
00:10:21.860 similar. I mean, we've written a book on purity, but we took, we kind of redefined purity because
00:10:27.740 there's this like toxic purity culture in the church where it was just so much emphasis on
00:10:32.180 like, no, you know, masturbating, no sex before marriage, no this, but it was like, the focus 0.69
00:10:36.860 was on the action versus the heart. So we redefined purity as it really is a heart issue. And yes,
00:10:43.520 practicing celibacy is a part of it, but like the bigger issue is what's flowing from your heart.
00:10:49.320 Yeah, I disagree. I think it's purity is not having sex. 0.98
00:10:55.860 No, that's a huge part of it. But the word purity actually means to be undefiled.
00:11:00.340 So there's many things that can defile your heart, gossip, uh, being critical, um, lying,
00:11:07.580 stealing. There's many things, but purity is definitely a part of it. But the word purity
00:11:12.240 in itself is undefiled, not no sex before marriage. Okay. So, um, I'm listening to your story
00:11:18.860 and here's kind of the issue I get with like the born again, ho type of thing. I don't really feel 0.99
00:11:27.720 like you guys take accountability for what you're doing because when I hear you tell me your story
00:11:32.380 back, you always seem to point the blame on being broken and being, and being, and some,
00:11:40.260 and the evil men. No, I'm not saying there were evil men. Yeah. I know. But when you say like,
00:11:49.120 you know, I'm when you say like, Oh, this happened because I had an abusive childhood. There's lots of
00:11:55.820 people with abusive childhoods that don't do that. That's true. It kind of takes away from the,
00:12:02.120 you know, it'd be like if Jeffrey Dahmer came out and said, Oh, I murdered all these people because my
00:12:07.820 mom was mean to me or my dad was mean to me. It takes a little bit away from the actual apology.
00:12:14.180 Yeah. And it makes it seem less sincere when, you know, throughout the whole story, I never heard
00:12:20.860 you say, Hey, I was horny. I enjoyed having sex on camera and I did it because I liked the attention. 0.94
00:12:27.760 I didn't want to work. It was easy money and it was wrong. Yeah. Well, there's a few layers. I hear 0.63
00:12:32.440 what you're saying. I totally do. But brokenness doesn't take away from accountability. I own up to
00:12:37.800 everything that I did. I made the decision to get into porn. I made the decision to date a pimp.
00:12:42.860 I actually did say that men were my weakness. So that's me taking accountability. I was weak. 0.90
00:12:48.320 I want that. Not really. If you're saying men were the weakness. So you were the weakness.
00:12:53.060 It was, well, I, it was like my kryptonite, right? Like I know because there's many women where men are 1.00
00:13:01.240 their kryptonite and they don't have sex on camera. It's like not a hard thing to avoid, right? It's pretty
00:13:06.820 easy to not have sex on camera. Absolutely. Absolutely. And I, I totally agree with you, 0.60
00:13:13.200 but I would also say then it goes beyond just being horny because if I was just horny, I wouldn't need
00:13:19.140 a camera and producers and directors. I could have just done my thing and been, you know, a part of
00:13:24.200 hookup culture in college. It goes much deeper than that. It was the promise of fame. It was the,
00:13:29.380 you know, feeling like so empty inside that fame would have validated me. And that's truly what I,
00:13:36.060 it wasn't being empty. It wasn't being empty inside. It was attention seeking. You wanted
00:13:40.740 attention. Yeah. I wanted attention. And you were, and you were willing to be greedy and you were 0.82
00:13:47.060 willing to embarrass all of your friends, all of your family to do it. And I do appreciate you coming
00:13:52.860 back and saying it's wrong, but you have to understand when I hear you talk about the story,
00:13:59.300 it just doesn't seem sorry. When you're telling the way you're telling it, it's like you're the hero and
00:14:03.540 victim at the same time when really it was just a selfish decision. And I don't, I don't lose sleep
00:14:10.040 at night, right? It's not my life, but you have to understand to the average person, they're going
00:14:16.140 to hear this and they might not say it to your face. I'm probably one of the few people who will
00:14:20.820 be honest about it, but they're just going to think you're full of shit because throughout the 0.99
00:14:25.200 whole story, you're blaming everybody else. I just think there's this whole movement of 0.99
00:14:31.580 people saying that if you, if you have any, if you say anything about brokenness or anything about
00:14:38.300 trauma, then that means that you're not taking accountability. But if you actually study the
00:14:45.580 impact that parenting has on a child, whether to set them up for failure or success, then you would
00:14:52.060 understand. I'd say, I'd say that's bullshit because you know, my, my, my family, uh, we we've 0.97
00:15:00.180 adopted kids from really bad situations, probably worse than yours. And they didn't make the same 0.98
00:15:04.920 decisions you did. They did. What decisions did they make? They made good decisions. To be honest,
00:15:10.780 they're good kids. And they were adopted by what, by what, what was your family like? Awesome. Okay. So
00:15:18.720 see, they had a redemption. They had a chance. They had a second chance. They were given a second
00:15:23.220 chance for me. I just had to learn life the hard way. I got such bullshit, Brittany. It's complete
00:15:29.540 bullshit. It's to, to put it on your childhood when you're born in America, one of the greatest 1.00
00:15:36.680 places to be alive in the country, like ever. And one of the freest times ever to be alive. Like
00:15:42.620 there's just no excuse. There's none. There's kids that had worse childhoods than yours that didn't
00:15:48.740 make your choices. They didn't. And I like that. And you know, men, they don't get a get out of jail
00:15:56.400 free cart. They don't get to blame things on their trauma and their brokenness. Like to me, it's kind
00:16:02.220 of bullshit. Uh, you know, I just understand. So you're saying that women have the opportunity to 1.00
00:16:08.200 blame things on brokenness, but men don't actually, Joshua, an incredible man of God who was in the
00:16:13.960 porn industry for six years. He talks about the fact that he had a fatherless home and that played
00:16:19.560 a big role in as to why. Well, I mean, I would say the men that do it. I also think it's bullshit as
00:16:27.420 well. I do, but it's, it's much more common for women to do it than men because in general, 0.99
00:16:33.620 most people won't hear men out. They won't ask them why they did the bad thing.
