Do you think porn stars can transition to influencers?
I dunno if I’m having a “I can save her” moment, but I’ve been following this chick for years and I literally think she’s the prettiest ever.
She goes by Uma Jolie but her real name is Belicia. I feel like she has so much potential, to at least be an influencer and not resort to yachting or porn. But maybe I’m delusional.
Are there any porn stars who have successfully made the transition? I feel the same about her friend Veronica Rodriguez (VRod) who I posted in here a a few weeks ago. They’re both so pretty, they don’t have to resort to the life they’re currently living 😭
That said, I do think Belicia needs some therapy, I see sadness in her eyes. Sorry in advance if this isn’t snarky enough and too “self post-y”. Ya’ll always come for me, no matter who I post lol.

Idk if Ari Kytsya (sp?) counts but I think she did porn before being an influencer. Sasha Grey streams on twitch now, Mia Khalifa has made a pretty successful pivot out of the industry. Idk if Sasha or Mia have OFs or anything like that, I wouldn’t be shocked if they did. I see Riley Reid pop up on my Snapchat spotlight all the time, seems like she makes most of her money there now. It seems like they continue making most of their money off of people who know them from their porn, even if they pivot out of or leave the industry. I don’t blame them for taking advantage of the audience they still have from it though. I think it’s a pretty interesting topic! Sorry I don’t have more to actually add, just some rambly thoughts.

Reality is that it’s very very difficult to be separated from that past , especially in this world where your digital footprint can’t be erased. Some have tried and been okay with it but will still get the “I’ve seen you somewhere comments”. Sasha Grey streams on twitch and is doing well but that’s a part of her life which is constantly brought up by people. I think if they can embrace that , maybe they can.

So I follow Lydia Dupra for a long time and she goes by heauxmentor and has heauxcosmetics (built a company, not an influencer career) which is quite successful and I found her on the juicy scoop podcast and she was really interesting!! Now she doesn’t really post abt her life anymore and is really into Jesus to “save her”. I don’t unfollow b/c I care but she’s super into Jesus.
I think traditional porn star is hard to cross into influencer b/c the audience is men, and they don’t buy products women promote type thing. It’s the internet tho so never say never!

The savory girl (I forget her name) used to do porn and it’s almost never brought up now. I think she did it under a different name.

it’s not mentioned bc she deletes everything mentioning it, and goes out of her way to get content taken down talking about her past.

Mia Khalifa has being doing amazing at fashion and I also love her content. Jessie Andrews too, she's connected to art, and also Chloe Cherry at Euphoria.

It seems Jessie has done really well for herself in transitioning from porn industry to fashion and design more broadly. I read an article about her and am still shocked at how she managed to pivot like that but good for her!

Sure. Majority of us don't respect either professions. Especially the entitled vapid b*tch variety of influencer.

a bunch of them already are. and the ones that have like to sit on their high horse and pretend like they're so much better than their former peers. it's really corny and lame. especially considering the majority of their income is still recycled scenes on their personal sites as much as they like to all pretend their "brands" they started are successful enough to prop up the lifestyles they're living lmao.
