Duke Freshman outs herself

Did she try suing her parents for the tuition first? I hear that's the way to go.

Whatever pays the bills....good for her for being a young entrepreneur.

This is why I'm a Tarheel Fan!!!!!!!!

The disadvantage is it's like a tattoo...it's forever. If some high brow company goes to hire her later and sees this, there go her chances. It's her life though, live and let live.

As a mother to a daughter I would do everything in my power to make sure she never had to feel forced into making this choice.


As a mother to a daughter, if my daughter still chose to engage in this activity as a career choice or a springboard to a career choice, while i would have trouble with it, I would support and accept her decision, but would hope she was as safe as possible.

I would prefer that she didn't make that choice, but I believe firmly that women own their own bodies and that is our right and privilege to use them as we see fit.

I do not feel the college has a choice to eject her based on her career choices. Not unless they were willing to replace her income that she would lose for quitting her job.

I support this young woman's right to feel proud of her job, she made this choice, it's her body, if she is proud then I'm glad for her.

I don't think Duke has any business in this, as long as she pays her tuition and costs and I don't feel anyone who isn't living her life with a full insight on her choices and decisions has a right to judge her for those decisions.

We simply do NOT know her reasons and don't need to know.

I agree that she is an adult and can earn her money whatever legal way she wants, however, she is still representing the university. I understand that as adults, we should be allowed to legally do what we want with our lives, but when you are doing something on the side that could have a negative impact on your school or regular place of business, then it's time to get your priorities in line. Does she want to be a porn star? Great more power to her! Does she want a desk job after college? That's fine too, but she needs to decide what she wants more.

Lol, you do realize that there are many NFL stars who are "thugs" that went to Universities and are praised as heroes for their schools?

Of course I realize that. I don't think that's right either. As to the question of "why" it affects the reputation of the school, it's because people are so afraid of being judged instead of letting people live their lives. If, for example, Duke were to lose any funding because she's a porn star, my guess is they will kick her to the curb and follow the money. There is no clear right or wrong answer here. It's unfortunate that people can't legally live their lives as they wish without compromise, but it happens. Since it happens, there are personal decisions she will have to make.

Agree. If they do kick her out (I'm sure they'll find a technicality) you'd have to think how naive the university, supporters and alumni are if they think that paid porn would discredit university. Practically all colleges have some online porn sites depicting their students in their colleges who aren't getting paid. You see university banners hanging in the background. I hope she gets to stay and continue whatever classes she's taking and paying for.

You've watched a lot of college porn, have you?

I think it's despicable that most everyone watches porn and then look down on the people who make it. Seriously.

It depends on how you are classifying the people who "make" it.

A lot of performers, both male but particularly female drift into the industry (from what I understand) through reasons other than pure choice. Many have been come from a background of sexual abuse, drug addiction, and chaotic home environments. These people are essentially vulnerable. They are then ruthlessly exploited by producers.

It is wrong to look down on the performers? In many cases yes. Is it wrong to look down on the producers? Absolutely not.

Wait....you said that producers "ruthlessly exploit" these poor souls and THEN You go on to say that it's NOT WRONG to look down on them for doing that?

what is WRONG with you?

Doh! That was a typo on my behalf. I meant the following: "Is it right to look down on the producers? Absolutely"

I think mostly the whole thing is still an issue of society still wanting to control women's sexuality. And when women don't behave as they should it freaks people out. That's what I think it really comes down too.

I went to a different north carolina private college that cost just as much as Duke....I was lukcy that my parents paid it off when I graduated as my graduation present - but the idea that I owed that money those last couple of months in school was the worst feeling...at the time I would have done anything not to have that hanging over my head.

I understand what you're saying. But if you (royal you) feel that way then you also had better not watch it. Otherwise you're the one guilty of funding the industry you feel is so rotten.

Watch porn or don't, but don't be a hypocrite about it.

I've actually rarely watch it any more after reading the expose "Hollywood Blue".

i'm putting my money on the spin that puts more money in her pocket

Her body, her choice. She wasn't forced into the adult industry, she chose it. She wanted to go to duke and she chose to pay for it this way then alright. Do what you gotta do. If I had the body, self esteem, sex drive and wasn't in a relationship I'd do it. Why not, easy money.
