The actress who appeared in a pulled Ted Cruz political advertisement spoke to a Houston radio station on Monday morning about her new-found fame.

Last week it was revealed that actress Amy Lindsay – who grew up in Houston -- had appeared in a series of films and late-night cable series with provocative titles like “Bikini Airways,” “Radio Erotica,” “Carnal Wishes,” and “Sex Games Vegas.”

Lindsay appeared in a 30-second Cruz commercial targeting Marco Rubio, one of Cruz's rivals for the GOP presidential nomination. In the ad, titled "Conservative Anonymous," Lindsay plays a woman attending a therapy session in which conservative voters talk about being double-crossed by Rubio.

The Cruz campaign pulled the ads once word leaked that Lindsay’s film career could be called into question.

On Monday she spoke to KTRH’s Matt Patrick during the final minutes of his morning radio show with co-host Shara Fryer.

Lindsay says that she shot six commercials for the Cruz campaign, but that when she was initially hired she didn’t know that they were for the Texas senator, but did know that they were for a Republican candidate.

“I had been waiting for the ads to air since they were shot several months ago,” she says. She was waiting for word from the production company she shot them with when a reporter from Buzzfeed called her last week.

She didn’t know that they were pulled until Buzzfeed called her with the news and asking for comment.

As for the claim she’s a porn star, Lindsay said that the projects were R-rated films, “late-night steamy” films, but not “porn.”

Lindsay considers herself a conservative and believed in the words she said in the commercial.

“I have always voted on the right,” she added.

She understands why the ads were pulled but thinks that that made them an even bigger deal than they would had they not been pulled.

The Cruz campaign tried to explain the mix-up. Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler told Politico last week that they wished they had vetted Lindsay better.

"The actress responded to an open casting call. She passed her audition and got the job. Unfortunately, she was not vetted by the casting company. Had the campaign known of her full filmography, we obviously would not have let her appear in the ad,” Tyler said.
