FORMER porn star Christy Mack broke down on the stand when asked if the social media followers she gained after the brutal attack at the hands of her ex-martial arts fighter boyfriend were “worth it.”

The New York Post reports that Mack, whose real name is Christine Mackinday, had been fighting back tears for most of the late afternoon cross-examination, but wept when asked the question.

“I would not want to almost die for a few followers,” Mackinday said.

Mackinday, 25, testified at ex-MMA fighter War Machine’s attempted murder and sexual assault trial in Las Vegas about her domestic abuse victim advocacy and social media presence.

Her ex-boyfriend, whose name was legally changed to War Machine from Jonathan Koppenhaver, faces charges surrounding a nearly fatal attack in August 2014 at Mackinday’s Las Vegas home.

Mackinday said she suffered a broken nose, lost and broken teeth, damaged liver, fractured rib and broken bones in her face. Mackinday’s friend, Corey Thomas, was also present and attacked by Koppenhaver.

Koppenhaver, 35, was charged on more than 30 counts, including attempted murder, kidnapping and sexual assault.

Defence lawyers also cross-examined Mackinday about their sexual relationship, including racy text conversations and plans to use a “sex slave.”

At one point, defence lawyer Jay Leiderman grew uncomfortable reading the former couple’s text exchanges, as others in the courtroom snickered.

“I am sorry. There is just no way I can get around this,” he said.

The couple allegedly discussed a “sex slave,” which Mackinday said was for Koppenhaver “to have sex with when [she] was unable.”

“We had plans for the three of us, but I don’t recall us ever even having a threesome,” Mackinday said.

Earlier on Thursday, it was revealed that Mackinday sent Koppenhaver a topless photo before the August 2014 attack.

Koppenhaver has pleaded not guilty to all 34 charges.

The ex-MMA fighter faces life in prison without parole if convicted.
