Jenna Jameson Going Back into Porn to Support Her Children

According to NY Daily News...

Jenna Jameson's money troubles have forced her back into porn, an industry she once dominated and, in 2008, renounced.

The 39-year-old gave an interview with TMZ, in which she explained her return through a webcam show.

"My motivation is taking care of my family," Jameson said. "And having fun and meeting all my fans,"

The former skin flick queen vowed at the Adult Video News awards in 2008 to give up her former career.

"I'll never, ever, ever spread my legs again in this industry. Ever," she said.

Jameson has recently been fighting a custody battle with her ex Tito Ortiz over their two children.

In an interview with "Oprah: Where Are They Now?," she cited her young family as the reason she initially left the adult industry.

"I made a promise to my children when they were in my tummy that there is no way I could ever, ever, ever go back."

Jameson also opened up about a 2012 DUI incident, in which she crashed her car into a lightpole.

"Getting a DUI, I think, was a huge wakeup call for me," she said. "At the time I was going through a lot of problems and a lot of issues with my ex. And I was thinking more about myself and made such a big mistake."

In a recent interview with CBS, Jameson appeared spacey and disoriented, prompting some viewers to wonder if she was under the influence. In the past, Ortiz has accused Jameson of battling an addiction to Oxycontin, an allegation that she denies.

We should be clear this is Jenna from her heyday...



And this is her now...




Tito Ortiz made no comment, but did this pose...

I take porns stars saying their done with the biz about as seriously as I take Ben Affleck saying he'd never do another superhero movie after Daredevil.

APPLESAUCE, bitch!

Those poor kids.

I hate to say it, but she might have a point. I did read a recent article where Gauge had tried to have a normal career after porn, going so far as to actually get a nursing degree, but now is essentially blackballed from her new chosen profession because a doctor recognized her and told everyone. Gauge was nowhere near as famous as Jameson, so I cannot imagine her having a chance to have a normal job to support her family.

Porn doesn't even pay anywhere near as much as it would have back in 80s and 90s which is why alot of them pretty much do alot of conventions and camming.

But Jenna is gonna get more than enough to where I doubt she will end up being a cam model.

Aurora Snow wrote a similar article about retired porn stars being unable to maintain 'legitimate' careers, or even get on the career ladder, because of the notoriety of their past profession. A lot of retired porn stars only real income is from their websites - Aurora had saved up hundreds of videos and pic sets by the time she retired, for example.

Watching her E! True Hollywood Story you would've thought that she would one of the few to make it out of porn. She mentioned how she invested a lot of her money (although who knows what happened to those investments with the economic meltdown of 2008) and she had such mainstream appeal. Hell, she was promoting a novel on a network tv morning show when her appearence got cut short. Such a fall from grace.

Which I still don't understand. You don't like that she did porn, so you take action to make sure that porn is now her only option? How the hell does that make any sense?

people have messed up double standards. I remember people balking at the idea of Sasha Grey having a successful film career outside porn, too. sure she mostly does B-movies, but if it pays bills it's hardly something to be ashamed of.

I will take a look at it.

They need a Witness Protection Program for porn stars

"Aren't you Jenna Jameson, the porn star?"

"Nope, I'm Jenna Thompson, the certified public accountant"

I just finished her book this morning. Reading between the lines, she is disturbing as hell. Also I have to laugh about her battling over Oxy accusations with Tito, because her book is filled with addictions in the order of: Meth, Oxy, Vicodin, Mystery Box.

Basically, if she was one of the more put together ones, and standards of sanity in the industry, Belladonna's book would probably cause Raiders of the Lost Ark face melting.

Yeah former porn star Penny Flame I think said something to this effect in an interview. Drugs are something girls take to get them through the shoot.


There is an upside (I guess) in this news for fans of interracial. Jenna's never done it and I bet they'll be a big check when she does.

Wasn't she just promoting a website before she retired that mostly had contract starlets and make occasional rare scenes? I'm sure her name value could just get her to open up some porn talent agency or be a director or producer or some kind of behind the scenes work.

[Non Banjoble Tokens]

I think I'm going to try being in porn movies to make money. Not actually having sex on camera, but just sort of showing up on the sets of porn movies when they are filming so I can get some royalties for them using my image without my consent.

Being perfectly fair, and slightly different from Baldobomb- if that was the case (and especially if the person's in a "position" to recognize them), the story there is likely less a "messed up double standard" and just as likely a case of "Wait...you're [insert famous porn star here]? That's...so scandalous. I wonder what people will do if this news gets out- no one will ever let you continue in this job again. It'd be terrible if people found out about this...but if this is your past, I'm SURE we can come to an agreement that'll keep me quiet..."
