Your heart breaks a little for Bree Olson, who"s only claim to fame is being one of Charlie Sheen"s "goddesses."
Olson spoke candidly about the shame she feels as a woman in adult entertainment in a video for Real Women, Real Stories.
"I came from the adult industry but then I transitioned into the mainstream industry but I encountered a lot of issues with my transition and people not accepting me into the mainstream world," Olson said, adding that she had wanted to do porn since she was a teenager.
"The names that people have called me, it"s as if if you could take out those names and print them and put a ribbon around my whole body of all the names and things that people say to me on the internet, that"s how I feel when I walk outside the door.
"The words are something that I didn"t expect to affect me in my everyday life, so when I go out I feel as if I"m wearing "slut" across my forehead.
"So I have really got into the point where there are days to weeks at a time where I don"t leave my house because I don"t feel like facing the world of what has been created out there for me."
A career in porn proved lucrative for Olson, but the stigma attached to it isn"t worth it, she admits.
""I gave up between $ 30,000 and $ 60,000 a month and I could just go back to porn today and still make that. "I could go back to porn and make $ 20,000 just in one week if I wanted to this week and I don"t because that"s how much I don"t want my photos on the internet."
"People treat me as if I am a pedophile," she said. "They don"t treat me like an ex-sex worker, they treat me like I would somehow bring damage to children."
