I know a girl who was friends with this chick lol. Anyone got a link for it? I love the stupid amateurs who need money bad.

Quote:STILLWATER, Minn. (KMSP) -
By some estimates, pornography is now a $10-billion industry in America -- bigger than the NFL, NBA and MLB, but the profits sometimes come at a tragic cost.

This is a story about unforeseen consequences -- about what happens when a young, impressionable woman enters a world she knows almost nothing about. Instead of getting famous, she found people turning against her. It all played out against the backdrop of social media, bullying and Internet pornography -- and the tragic sequence of events began unfolding just a couple of months ago.

The first thing a person might notice about Alyssa is that she is stunningly beautiful, but she is so much more -- a straight-A student, and a freshman at the University of Wisconsin's River Falls campus with big dreams.

"I want to be a major in biology, minor in chemistry, and I want to be an anesthesiologist," she said while sitting on a casting couch.

Yet, it was no ordinary job interview. Taped earlier this year in Las Vegas, it was the seemingly normal prelude to a pornographic movie from a company called Casting Couch Videos. In a few minutes, Alyssa -- who goes by the name "Stella" in the movie -- will be seen on camera, having sex with a total stranger.

"I'm Stella Ann. I'm 18, from Minnesota, and I'm really looking forward to get started," she said.

Just a few days after that video was posted online, Alyssa began getting taunting messages on Twitter and Facebook -- mostly from old classmates at Stillwater High School, where students were abuzz and they were not kind.

Students huddled around their phones in the cafeteria, looking at the video. One student sent a tweet that said, "Wow your a thot" -- slang for a prostitute -- "Does her dad know?"

Another wrote, "Nothing brings a school together like a porn star who graduated last year. I guess you could say news spreads fast here at Stillwater hahah."

Alyssa responded with her own tweets, "famous for dayzzz" and "pornstar status, a-okay" -- but everything was not okay. Two weeks after the video was posted online, on April 14, Alyssa bought a 12-gauge shotgun, drove to a picturesque boat landing on Big Carnelia Lake and killed herself. She was only 19 years old.

Alyssa's family did not want to speak on camera, and it's easy to understand why -- but they did tell the Fox 9 Investigators that although Alyssa had struggled with depression from time to time, they believe the taunts on social media played a significant role in her suicide.

The Washington County Sheriff's Office is still investigating her death, but detectives don't believe the postings on social media constitute criminal harassment and a spokesperson for Stillwater High School says they haven't received any complaints or reports of bullying -- but they point out, correctly, that Alyssa was no longer a student of theirs.

Yet, her classmates at UW-River Falls say they have little doubt about what drove her to suicide.

"A lot of people are really negative -- troll-y -- about it or standing up and saying it shouldn't happen to people," Katrina dodge said. "Sad it's still happening, actually."

There is a striking contrast between Alyssa's story and that of Duke University Freshman Miriam Weeks, aka porn star Belle Knox. She has become a kind of celebrity with a glowing profile in Rolling Stone magazine last month and appearances on the talk show circuit.

"I am breaking down barriers between mainstream and the adult industry," she told FOX 5 in New York City. "I think that's great, and I want to keep getting my message about female empowerment and sex worker rights."

Joy Friedman doesn't buy it for a minute.

"She's biting her lip," Friedman pointed out. "She's not okay with this."

Friedman is a social worker with Breaking Free, a non-profit that helps women get out of the sex industry. She sees young women like Alyssa and Miriam all the time and sees little difference between pornography and prostitution -- especially when she hears the man behind the camera.

"He did the same thing that pimps do," she said. "It reminds me of the pimps who talked to me."

Friedman believes that because children are exposed to pornography at a younger age, they've become desensitized to it and don't realize that the decision to do porn today could follow them for a lifetime.

"This is permanent, she can't erase this. Now, it goes into your family, it goes into your friends, it goes into your career," Friedman said. "In the future, this is what you're known for and this is who you're labeled as. That affects you."

The man in the video asked Alyssa if she had a normal childhood. She said yes, but Friedman didn't buy that either.

"I bet if we had to go back and pull back the layers of what happened for her, I imagine we'd find something dysfunctional in her past," Friedman said.

Indeed, Alyssa had more than her share of challenges growing up. Her biological father has a rap sheet for theft and swindling; her mother and a boyfriend were busted for dealing drugs and neglecting Alyssa's younger siblings. Alyssa had moved in with her grandmother when she was just a young teen, and she struggled with money -- transferring from St. Catherine's to UW-River Falls last year.

When asked whether she blames the students from Stillwater High, Friedman said, "Yeah, I do."

"I mean, I blame them 'cause everybody plays a role here. You can be a part -- positive or negative. Why did no on go talk to her and say, 'Girl, why did you do that? What can I do to help you?'" she explained. "Instead, we jump on the bandwagon and it's her fault 'cause she got in a video."

Since Alyssa's suicide, there's been an outpouring of grief on social media, including moving tributes. Friends remember her as a sweet, bright and intelligent young woman with so much promise.

Yet, a month after her suicide, that pornographic video is still online too -- outliving the young woman who paid so dearly for it.

"The fact is: If this is such a glamorous, okay job/lifestyle/career, why'd she kill herself?" Friedman asked.

The Washington County Sheriff's Department is expected to complete its investigation soon. About a month ago, the Fox 9 Investigators informed Casting Couch Video that Alyssa had killed herself, but they have not returned phone calls or e-mails and have not answered why they continue to keep that video online.

The lesson here is that if you like the look of this kind of girl. Dark Hair, Dark eyes, girl next door look...get thyself to a University of Wisconsin campus (Especially Madison) look alikes of this girl in black yoga pants are everywhere. Also, if someone posts the actual video...

If women don't understand how getting before a camera and performing sex acts might affect their lives, then they're definitely not qualified to run companies or be voted into any office. You can be an eternal victim or a leader. You can't be both.

I knew at 18 that having plain old unprotected sex was a risk.[/align] Not getting how this girl didn't get that blowing someone on camera was as well.

Call me heartless, but I feel no sympathy for this girl. Can someone be this foolish in this "information age" as to think a porn wouldn't follow you around?

I just don't get the naiveté.

I bet the scene is the most popular video on their site after the Belle Know scene.

I doubt she would get any royalties anyway, most porn girls wont get any.

There truly are no consequences for women! Stupid bitch! Also...I think I found our culprit...

I'm really saddened by this: she killed herself before she did onscreen anal.

Post: #9

I went to UW-Madison for undergrad. Girls like her are a dime a dozen. If you're too ashamed at the thought of being discovered doing porn, you shouldn't be doing it!

Yep it's her

http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/story/255...re-of-porn

Really weird. Other than the social shaming she got, why did she kill herself? Did she get shamed into it, or was she already fucked in the head?

If it was the shame that drove her to suicide, then yes, this would actually be a real life consequence (!), but I'm not as optimistic as you are. There's no way she could have believed she wouldn't have been found out. Was she really that fucking dumb?

I can't watch the above linked video because it's so big it won't load. I think I found a second one though. It also won't load. If you need your porn in such high quality it chokes up bandwith, maybe you'd be best out getting the real thing.

Anyway, here is a second vid:

But for real. RIP. This girl had serious mental issues.

Post: #16

The scary thing here is that if suddenly this girl is declared a victim, then there will be more regulation of the porn industry and suddenly 18 will be too young and new laws will be passed and men having sex with 18 year old women will be called pedophiles, etc. etc.

There's little to no perspective here.

This thread reads in large parts like a checklist of posters I can safely ignore in the future knowing that they have little to contribute until they fix themselves.

Zero sympathy.

She was shitty in all her porn. I could tell within the first 5 mins it was rookie hour for this girl and she did everything wrong. From a perspective of a man whom has thought about the industry himself, knows girls whom do porn, knows girls considering it, clear patterns come up with it all. It's not a lifestyle for the weak and clear warning signs exist to warn people prior if they think things through.

She got into it for all the wrong reasons and likely never watched porn her self. She went for all the basic newbie traps such as the casting couch (dude/company has a bed rep yet girls still line up, giving there real names, where their from like fools), and choosing hamster Porn movies like the Easter egg one posted, versus getting some rough but honest agent or agency that would of shown her the ropes and give her some tough love. When you have some greasy Greek guy telling you your gonna have to start doin anal in 6 months and to start looking into enemas as butt plugs to stretch your ass out then these little girls realize this shit isn't a joke and it's a fucked up but serious hustle for all sides. She would of gotten the wake up call damn quickly.

Like how can a 19 year old girl not think that every single dude she has cross path with in her age range dosn't watch porn and would not likely see her. The fact that this didn't go through her mind shows her hamster was completely in the clouds.

She wasn't built for that life. Porn takes a seriously already damaged women whom knows that blowback of being outted won't matter, or that her family will look the other way is he is making a fuck ton of money.

She wasn't starving. She didn't need to porn to pay bills, or feed an addiction. She simply wanted a little fame and money to be able to blow on trips to Vegas. She is pretty and 19 and white girl in America, these girls don't ever struggle unless it's by a choice of bad decisions.

She had good grades and likely had scholarships and school taking care of, if not, there is loans which anybody with a pulse can get if they are in school. She had no reason over than her own juvenile curiosity and narcism to want to get into porn.

When women loose control of their social situations. Basically when there hamster is exposed from a wrath of bad chocked which waves then to acknowledging the realities.. They reach for the pills or the shot gauge. When the hamster dies in a woman she can't live with the constant feelings of having to self-reflect. This is likely the most evil pain a woman ever has to face. But it was all her own doing.

Zero fucks given.

Publicized suicide, the ultimate form of attention whoring.

She should have researched the industry. Its common for girls to break down and cry. They'll want to quit the scene but if they do, they won't get paid for what they've already done and word spreads fast and soon no one will want to pay her for a scene so she will be out of a job.

There is a reason why most girls are fucked up on drugs and every kind of drug is provided at the scenes.

Some of the pornstars are very pretty and I'm thinking like what the fuck are you doing? Mainly these girls are from EE like Aletta Ocean who was a fucking model, won a beauty pageant but decided to go into porn.

You mean when you take naked video of yourself and let people upload it to the internet, people might see it?

Oh shit bros! BRB I gotta go take care of something real quick.

But seriously, it sounds like the girl had issues long before porn. Porn didn't kill her, prior issues were just amplified by the social pressure of a public porn career.
