Why did she kill herself instead of going down a different career path?

It's next to impossible for a professional porn star like her to just change careers.

You can see Bree Olson somewhat talking about it:

You can make the argument about personal choice and how nobody forced them into it, etc. but the point is that once you've done it, it's next to impossible to actually just transition into a normal life after that.


I haven't watched the video yet so I won't comment on it specifically but I get the crux of the argument, it still doesn't justify what's been said at times.

Mainly on two points:
1) it's not exclusive to them for a few reasons. Anything from people who worked with paper their whole life having no applicable skills to be competitive with the fresh blood to labor once your body goes. Not the same situation but it is the same result. people blackballed from their field. People who have worked low skill jobs are almost guaranteed to be locked there for life without pursuing a degeee. We could make arguments for anything from prisoners to soldiers to just general old people discriminated against in subtle manners. It sucks, she has my empathy, but no more so than swaths of people out there.

2) Normal job is redundant these days. With that type of fan base she could go cammodel and be perfectly fine. Not once has that been mentioned, nor has private company been mentioned. LIttle Caprice runs her own shit for a reason.

Even if she wanted to get out of porn she could host parties, organize adult events. Endless options.

People are acting like she has it worse than 80% of the population when the opposite is actually true.

Edit: to clarify, empathy about the work deal. Not about the suicide, nothing I have said in this topic has been in relation to her suicide.


Anyone wanna touch this? I'm still super confused how so many people think she was destined to go poor regardless of what she tried.


the fuck are you smoking? She wasn't going to go poor and no one said so, she was married and her husband was a porn director.


In the context of this topic that's been the crux of almost every argument. I've been called bigoted and ignorant by no less than 5 users due to suggesting she wasn't going to die in a ditch.
