Former adult film star Lana Rhoades admits she wishes she never got into the industry that made her famous. In fact, if she could have it her way, all of her old videos would be off the internet for good.
Rhoades decided to leave the adult film industry rather quickly after beginning her career in 2016. Despite this, she was one of the most searched actresses on Pornhub in 2019. She says that even though she found success, her career greatly affected her mental health.
“I do [regret it],” she stated. “I honestly tell people, if I could go back, I would give up everything to have my dignity and respect back. And for people not to be able to see me in that way.”
Lana Rhoades Opens Up on Adult Film Career
Rhoades opened up on her experiences as an adult film star on the Three Girls One Kitchen Podcast. She stated that she has one moment that she very much regrets.
“One of the worst… honestly, I feel like I’m in denial sometimes and I can’t accept some of the things that I’ve done,” she said.
“There was one thing that, ya know, I tried talking to a therapist about before something that I had to do for a scene that was really rough for me. It was one of the most disgusting, foul scenes.”
Once Rhoades left the adult film industry, she decided to get into the content creation business. That decision was not only good for her mental health but also good for her wallet.
“The industry I did not get paid s***,” she stated. “I probably had $100,000 in my bank account when I quit shooting porn and now I’m a multi-millionaire.”
