I think that she is merely expressing her disgust at the adult industry (in reality; the big few producer farms) due to being exploited and branded a "stupid whore" for wanting what is rightfully hers.
Speaking from both a male perspective, and a business perspective, the adult industry as a whole needs a huge crackdown in every sense imaginable. From having to provide necessary mental health evaluations, to explaining the magnitude of what "doing a porn scene" means in reality, at least in regards to your life after porn.
Taking Mia Khalifa's case into account as well, you can only come to the following conclusions:
1) Both were very young, and very pretty. Quite impressionable, and intelligent -- but yet, very naive and not mentally competent to do porn. (The reason is quite simple; if you are going to produce porn, at least for the sake of your own legacy if not for anything else: do not shoot the mentally ill, drug addicts, girls late on rent, etc etc) only work with performers that are of sound mind, and mentally strong... but here's the problem, and it's a catch 22... anyone of a sound mind would try to negotiate something that's in favor of the performer, and not just the producer. The contracts wouldn't hold up to any type of legal scrutiny.
2) They both experienced that the adult industry is mostly comprised out of sleazy coke-addicted producers who try to sell you bullshit...
3) They both tried to speak on the issue, but unfortunately, the media focuses on the wrong part of the story.. the story should be that they were not competent enough to get into what they got into... all those scenes, for practically nothing... chump change. Only an idiot would agree to such terms, or like they say, "a whore".
You pick whose side you're on here, I suppose.. but they're multi-millionaires because of theiir personas, and their grift. Not much else, especially not some producers who can sweet-talk a young girl into doing DP.
If Ben Affleck is still getting royalties for even the shittiest roles he's been in, a "porn whore" should also get something... or at the very least, the rights to her catalogue, considering that there is absolutely nothing of any creative value in 99.9% porn scenes, and should there be any further (legal) exploitation of their work and/or likeness after the performer complains about them being available/online, a decision should be made in favor of the performer(s). They are the ones whose gangbang scenes are readily available to be watched by anyone -- anywhere, and not the producer's.
