Bree Olson, a former porn actress who has since retired, is finally speaking out about her life as someone who used to be a sex worker and is now back in the mainstream world, Daily Dot reports.

Speaking with Real Women Real Stories, Olson shared part of her story of getting into the porn industry at 19 while she was a student at Purdue University studying pre-med biology and working full-time as a telemarketer. When she flew out to Los Angeles "just to try it," she says initially she was "very shocked at the money to be made" and decided to drop out of school and make as much money as she could in the industry.

Olson, who says she maintained her Indiana home and "never lived in L.A. the entire time I even did porn" finally retired at 25 and only then did she realize how much she was being judged by the mainstream world.

In the video, she says that when she goes out in public, she feels like "I'm wearing 'slut' across my forehead" and says there are "days or weeks" where she won't leave her house because she doesn't "feel like facing the world" and has had a hard time getting hired for any jobs outside of porn now, which makes her wish in retrospect that she'd stayed in the industry a few more years because now she feels she has few other options.

At the end of the interview, Olson makes a point to tell young girls, "Don't do porn. Because … I understand it. You want to embrace your sexuality … but you're just gonna have a life of crap in front of you." While she adds that there's nothing wrong with doing porn, she says that "how people treat you for the rest of your life, it's not worth it."
