Ex-Porn Star Sasha Grey: I'm Going to Keep Reading to Kids




Show 'em, Sasha!
Ex-porn star Sasha Grey sparked outrage when she read to first and third grade children at a Compton, Calif. elementary school last week. But despite the controversy, the 23-year-old refuses to quit volunteering with kids.

"I have a past that some people may not agree with, but it does not define who I am," Grey said in a statement, excerpted by TMZ (http://www.tmz.com/2011/11/11/sasha-grey-porn-star-elementary-school/?adid=hero1). (Although she officially announced her retirement in porn in April 2011, she is still one of today's most identifiable adult film stars.)

"I will not live in fear of [my past]," she said. "To challenge non-profit education programs is an exercise in futility, counter-productive and anti-educational."

Grey, who played a fictionalized version of herself in the seventh season of Entourage, thanked her fans and the "Read Across America" program for supporting her decision to continue to volunteer. "Your support and kind words continue to inspire me," she said. "I believe in the future of our children, and I will remain an active supporter and participant in education-focused initiatives."
Tell Us: Do you agree with Sasha's decision to continue volunteering with children?

Ex-porn star reading to LA students causes stir
Some parents upset, wonder whether it was appropriate to have her at school

COMPTON, Calif. (http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&where1=COMPTON, Calif.&sty=h&form=msdate) — Some parents have filed complaints with the Parent-Teacher Association after a former adult film star said she read to children in a classroom at a Los Angeles County elementary school.
Sasha Grey, a 23-year-old ex-porn actress who has appeared in mainstream shows like HBO's "Entourage," was a guest earlier this month at Compton's Emerson Elementary School for Read Across America Day.
Grey tweeted Nov. 2 that she spent the day reading to "the sweetest" students in the first and third grades.
KTLA-TV quoted parents questioning whether it was appropriate to have Grey at the school. Parent Dudley Wheaton wondered why the school couldn't find a fireman or a police officer to read to students.
In a statement, Grey said she was proud to have participated in the event, TMZ reported (http://www.tmz.com/2011/11/11/sasha-grey-porn-star-elementary-school).
"I believe education is a universal right. I committed to this program with the understanding that people would have their own opinions about what I have done, who I am and what I represent," the statement said, according to TMZ.
"I am an actor. I am an artist. I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a partner. I have a past that some people may not agree with, but it does not define who I am."
Grey has not appeared in porn films in over two years. She has been a regular on "Entourage" and appeared in the 2009 film "The Girlfriend Experience."

Lots of porn stars have their own school-aged children, myself included. What next? They get rid of us too? :?

Good for her, but she still can't act worth a damn. :lol:

It's silly. And I agree with what she said: ""I am an actor. I am an artist. I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a partner. I have a past that some people may not agree with, but it does not define who I am."
Plus she supports PETA.... So, she's deeply moral and decent. As most people are.... I think these so-called righteous people should attack the industry itself. If that's how they feel. But not the women IN the industry, not women like Sasha Grey, not women like Jenna Jameson.
If they don't like the industry, well, that's fine. But I don't think they should attack/ridicule women like Jenna Jameson and Sasha.
I mean, it's the institutional structure itself. Not the people. It's like any other institution. The people are decent. But the institution itself [depending on your opinion] can be indecent.

As a decent American, I don't think that anyone who's ever had sex should be allowed to interact or talk to any kids. Won't someone please think of the children?

Jenna J's book isnt a bad read. Basically she led a f'd up childhood that primed her for her later career path.

Insightful Ben.....right up until the PETA part. Let's not use that as a benchmark to judge character. That's like saying ....he's a good and decent person because he believes in God. I give you the Westboro Baptist Church. Read the book "The Sexual Politics of Meat" by Carol Adams. There are millions of everyday folks doing wonderful things at animal shelters who abhor the tactics of PETA. They put publicity over substance.
Minus the PETA reference, I think you're spot on.

You might be right about PETA....
As this woman explicates. Albeit from a feminist and vegan perspective. She makes the accurate charge that animals are still being exploited even if one is a vegetarian. (I'm not advocating veganism or vegetarianism.... I'm just interested in all points of view.
Take, say, Pamela Anderson [who supports PETA] and KFC. Ya know, she didn't -- along with PETA -- say: stop killing chickens. They simply said do it in a more "humane" way.
But eating meat isn't illegal.... Although more people are moving toward veganism and vegetarianism for a slew of reasons.
Their own health concerns, disliking the practices of the industrial food system and a moral objection to eating slaughtered animals.
But people have to make up their own minds about what's best for them.)

I think Ben's trying to illustrate her 'resume' of qualifications for reading to kids, and he did it well.

It's one of the few threads on here that's in the news. Does that make it dumb-ass? Plus, you and Natina share the same view so I'm not sure the point of your outrage.

[bassman2546]

It's a decent read. Keep in mind with biographies, the writers are very biased. They tend to defend themselves too much so they don't look as bad as they really were. Take it with a grain of salt and enjoy a decent read then use it to light your fireplace.

[loveboof]

I think you got confused making your poll.

"Is it wrong for Sasha Gray to read to kids? - Yes (it is wrong), as long as they don't tell them about her job" ...

See what I mean?

[Quiet Reflections]

As a decent American, I don't think that anyone who's ever had sex should be allowed to interact or talk to any kids. Won't someone please think of the children?
Does that include the child's parents also?

[Nowhere]

Everyone has a 10 seconds attention span these days, so it's pretty irrelevant what her past was. In a year people will be on to different porn stars and say "who cares, that was a long time ago".

[Mayrah]

The little kids dont even know who she is, i think its fine

[Ben]

The little kids dont even know who she is, i think its fine

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with being a porn star. Again, as I previously pointed out, so-called righteous people should focus on the institution itself. Not the likes of Sasha Grey.
I mean, politicians are far worse when it comes to grievous/sinister acts. But, again, one can focus on the political institution itself. Not the actual people.
This also applies to CEOs. Take, say, a tobacco CEO. He or she knows full well that what he or she is responsible for is cancer-causing. (Tobacco companies did extensive research in the 1960s and found out that the products they're selling are cancerous.) And leads to people dying. But in their institutional role they've got to put that to the side, as it were. They have to. But outside their institutional role, well, they can be the nicest people. Nice to their family dog or cat. Nice to their neighbors. A good husband or wife. Nice to their kids. Charitable etc.
But once you place them in a specific institution, well, they behave -- and have to -- a certain way.
I mean, CEOs have to make tough choices. Not always easy. Incredibly stressful, too. But the decisions can't be moral. That's the institutional constraint. They, again, can't behave in a moral fashion. The institution itself forbids it.
So, would we have any trouble with the head of a tobacco company, say, reading to kids????

[mildcigar_2001]

This is part of what is wrong currently with America; we are unwilling to draw lines between right and wrong. I don't blame Sasha Grey for going and reading to the kids since she was invited, but it certainly show bad judgement on the part of school administration. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with being a porn star, but some things are inappropriate. We have to think what we have kids exposed to, and we should not present porn stars as role models. It would be interesting to here from some of the "Porn Stars" who post on this board whether they would think it would be appropriate if their own children followed in their footsteps. Following Mom or Dad into the real estate business is a lot different than following them into the world of porn. I would hope I could provide my kids more suitable career options. Once again, I don't think those who perform in porn are bad people, but I think a porn career is a hard row to hoe (and a lot of the people in porn are damaged by the whole mileau).

I contrast this with the judicial decision published this week that said it was okay for a high school administrator to ban American Flags on Cinco de Mayo. Just madness.

[luv4Tgirls]

She can read to me

[ghbryans1]

The fact that it even came up at all is ridiculous. How was this even discovered? Is she looking for publicity or was she found out? If the latter, I apologize in advance, if the former, shame on her.

And like it or not folks, you'll be judged on everything you do in life. To expect otherwise is naive. The human animal is what it is and it ain't changin' any time soon.

OK Ben...I'm all about compromise, and if you've ever seen Sasha's work ( as I'm sure you have) I never got the impression she felt she was acting. She was the dirtiest little winch I've seen this side of Kelly Wells. So....to calm the legit concerns of some of the parents, I think she should continue to read to the kiddies, that's a good thing.....and I'll be there to supervise her just in case she has a relapse during recess. :fuckin:

[Dino Velvet]

You guys might be shocked but I hardly watch any porno. I'm quick enough on the trigger that a still photo can make me spill it. I've never seen a Sasha Grey scene but I enjoy filth. Is Sasha dirtier than my favorite all-time starlet, Vanessa Del Rio?

[bulldog]

I'm curious to read Jenna Jameson's book. Anyone read it??????? Any good???


Own it, read it a few times, amazing what the woman has gone through, she literally deserves EVERYTHING she has accomplished to this day and even more imo.

As far as Sasha, if you really wanna judge someone on their past, we all have skeletons, some are just more public than others, quit acting like your some perfect little fuckin panzie and let volunteer the way she wants to, she is reading, not giving career advice.

I wouldn't say dirtier...but more submissive. She's got an incredible gag reflex, and likes some pain with her anal...right up your alley !

I'm not one of these porn experts either, but for some reason her "work" is memorable.

Most of the skeletons in my closet used to have flesh on them and stand in their own gelatin. I put them there when the crawlspace has no vacancies available for new tenants. Sasha looks good with no make-up too.

[natina]

IT WAS DISCOVERED BY THOSE WHO LOOK AT HER MOVIES


LOL LOL lol lol

Never seen her work. Honest -- ha ha! Yes! I have.
I'm not sure if she fully enjoyed her role/career as a porn star, as it were. I mean, she's no longer a porn star. And she's only 23 today. She didn't stick around for too long. (Anyone know the average career span of a female porn star? They seem to come and go. Some do make a lot of money. Don't the top tier female porn stars make, say, over a million bucks a year????
In the 90s there was Racquel Darrian. Pic below. She seemed to be the big favorite, as it were.)
I think Sasha Grey was simply trying to push the envelope. Ya know, be more wild than other porn actresses. Who knows. Just speculating -- :)

[Nivek]

I say go for it! TS MicheleAustin took the words right out of my mouth. The key word is EX Porn star, should this woman live in shame for her past profession? It's not like she was with the SS or anything. In fact, if I had a hottie like her reading to me when I was in school she'd have my undivided attention.

[natina]

no royalties

the distributor and the producer are making the big bucks and they keep releasing the same footage making more money especially if you become famous.

name a rich porn star worth over a million dollars after you exclude there home and furniture,car,clothing ect. and have maintained that for 4 years+

name a rich porn star worth over a $100,000.00 dollars after you exclude there home and furniture,car,clothing ect. and have maintained that for 4 years+

many porn stars date wealthy men for big $$$$$$ after they have built a name for themselves

[scroller]

Does that include the child's parents also?

Of course. There should be a zero-tolerance policy for that kind of lewd behavior.

[Merkurie]

What about parents who swing? Should they have their children taken away? Sasha gets naked and had sex on film with consenting adults. Nothing wrong with that.

Its not like she is a football coach or a priest or something.
