Ex Porn Star Shelley Lubben Testifies at California State Capitol

[Moneymanbreezy]

Honestly, I always thought they liked it. Shame. Never knew they were getting exploited behind the scenes. I'm never watching porn again.

[RaikenXion]

Its always strange how may of these pornstars seem to come from bad experience whether that b childhood abuse, or just pure exploitation of the business they r in. Sorry for the spelling, but at the end of the day wot does all this really show?? THAT PORN IS NOT RIGHT, ITS BAD!! Yes as we hav evolved we hav found a particular sexual awakening but shud only ever b explored through True Relationships in LOVE! Soz If I offend here, but y doe u think Islam even encourages covering up women??

[79agp]

Wow she is a firecracker, God bless her and what she is doing. Porn is wicked and a breeding ground for all kinds of abuse and sorrow. Keep up the good work Shelley, you rock!

[khaled3anani]

thats why sex outside marriage ... not only porn ... is prohibited in islam .

hope the best for all .

[msBeautifulD]

Shelley Lubben I hope that you have the porn industry shut down completely.

[SamuelJoaodaSuica]

What is porn? I have no idea, and I'm too lazy to look it up now. Although I'll Wikipedia it later...

[HANDARAN1]

god bless u my sister

[Technebrous]

agreed girl, thank god for girls like you

[SOUPRUN01]

If you keep calm and keep looking you find people like this, who are out to help others. Instead of social climbers interested in helping themselves of unable to see that what they cannot do job.

[findjinn]

This woman is for real. How do you know? Because she didn't spend very much of the time reading from the paper in front of her.

[miguli]

She has great vision and indeed wonderful aspirations, but porn is an unstoppable force so she's already lost bless her heart. Porn doesn't just affect the actors, it can also affect poeple outside of the industry. For example, rape victims, sexual abuse, underaged victims etc. Most of these attacks are created because of the influence of pornagraphic material, we'd be a hell of a lot better off without it but there is just no way pornography will just fizzle out.

[MultiFisherofmen]

@miguli How can you say its unstoppable ? The Italian Mob was considered unstoppable from the 1920s to the mid 1970s. If it wasnt for the brave FBI and police officers who fraught the mob , they would still be a huge influence in the community and the police force. Now they can only feed in the sewers. The porn industry is the same and above the law for now , but soon it WILL fizzle out because it will be to hard to stay in business if we have anything to do about it

[february17able]

The Lord Jesus Christ forgives grave fornication and can save to the uttermost. Repentence is for every human being, and hell is not for humanbeings. This lady name is in my prayers.

[CriminalQueer]

She is an amazing woman.

[limonenlight]

Sorry if my english is incorrect.

I heard you found your strength in god and jesus? I don't believe in god and jesus, but I believe in inner strength and in my opinon yours is really strong. And I love the fact that you use your strength to teach women how they can increase and "activate" their strength. Also your speech was very informative and also really inspiring.

I really appreciate that you put so much effort in your work :)

From the bottom of my heart, I just wanted to say: Thank you :)

[Calbenmike]

@limonenlight My only rebuttal to your comment is this: Jesus is God.

[Youboob72]

Thank you Shelley for speaking up against this terrible terrible 'industry'. God Bess you and may He continue to work through you to lead others to Christ!

[Yuudai]

if we could get sex easy we wouldn't watch porn! Watching porn is easy :D

[TheVekNilashGoblin]

@Yuudai go to this womans website and read the hole thing you wil soon think otherwise

[mrcuteblackie]

They need Jesus. They do not know that Jesus is there in churches for them, and God has realn Christian men waiting to marry them, do everything for them and change their lives. Yes, we do not care about your past. I can stand by a girl's side while she goes through this recovery stage, medical tests and therapy. Thank God Jesus loves all.

[processLIFE]

thanx for exposing these points - daring to care & caring to share!

we're all prostitutes in the current system that allows/perpetuates prostitution &abuse as everything is based on profit and our atrocious accepted definition of 'power'.

i support an equal money system : check out equalmoney . org where we get together and develop a totally new system beyond polarity, no more based on profit and exploitation, but based on life as what we all have in common - because the value of life is life!

[rdk1017]

Those who 'enjoy' watching porn don't consider the abuse/exploitation endured by the 'participants. Most are just like everyone else, simply trying to make money in order to survive in this world. Let's end the abuse. Investigate an Equal Money System, where no one would ever have to subject themselves to participate within this again.

[heartlessvietboy]

We need to "expose" the pornography world and have the girls speak about their experiences. They need to speak their heart because their in a world of tears. Its a mean world. The "Camera Man" tells you to lay down. He gets angry and says, "OK, if you're not ready for this you can leave." These girls can do other things but "that energy" is going into pornography instead of education.

[69fordf250]

GOD BLESS YOU....GO GET EM GIRL! YHWH BLESS.

[ccciiippprrryyy]

shit man..i don t think i will watch porn again...

[4Ventus]

porn is just the 21st century version of systematic prostitution and capitalism.

[benos]

Wear a condom, that is all.

[MsFreedom2fly]

@benos

Condom doesn't protect skin on skin STDs, neither does it protect the heart.

[xXspringsXx]

what is so hard to believe about porn being violent and negative?

i swear to god some of these dudes need to watch the whole video

before they post and look like a dumb pervert.

[legendsaleem]

i always wonder why some women do porn because of some of the stuff they do to women are so degrading. I am a man and most of the time I feel ashamed of watching. I am not the only man out there who thinks that there are lots men out there would tell you that. Maybe us men need to get to gather and stop watching porn all together. Less men watching porn less money industry will make.

[acamarkovic]

Porn industry has always been unnatural and way to ugly, we just didn't want to admit that. Sex is an intimate thing, which involves emotions on a high level, and not just another exercise.

[musa77751]

well done shelly lubben!

[XxThiagoSilvaxX]

Hahaha whore.

[eaglewarrior82]

@XxThiagoSilvaxX dont judge

[fastian123456]

excellent shelly

before watching this video i thought that porn stars just enjoy doing the stuff

i really saluate you to admit all this and appreciate all those people who support you to come back to normal life and salutes you bec now you are trying to help those peolpes who wana quit

may god succed you in the mission and help you to come to straight path

GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY SUCCED YOU

[monimstarfox]

makes me feel like crap to be a guy

[JihadJoe01]

If someone is stupid enough to get into porn industry then they deserve what they get. Wether it's actually working in it or the problems that come with the viewing of pornography. I don't feel bad for what is happening to them because they deserve it for being SO STUPID! Not going to make excuses for them because they should never have gotten involved in it in the first place. Let them get diseases and let them die off!

[CreamCheeseIsTasty]

@JihadJoe01 i feel the way about your daughter/mother

[NightShadeslayer]

Just caught Shelly's movie "Out of the Darkness" at the JPII International Film Festival. I'm not keeping quiet anymore.

[ljsmixbox44]

i'm glad this former porn star trying to get actor's to leave the porn business.but on my stand point,i'm glad to see females are now opening their eyes knowing what they've gottten themselves in. i know i'm not the only person but on young women in porn you see wear and tear on their bodies and they have no even matured as a woman yet.

the new porn out here is RAP. 95% of these rappers make dirty songs...and girls are now having babies at a young age of all races.their's your new porn. SICK!

[joroma77]

men are stupid to pay women for sex

[marcellodichiera]

Hi everyone, in these days I was watching some videos of expornstars talking about their awful experience doing porn ... I was wondering (I hope Shelley can asnwer me) why if they realised that was horrible they didnt quit earlier and trying working like a waitress or cleaners? Please answer my doubts thanks

[TheGooseKita]

sorry i know the question isnt for me but most people like FAST money but dont think about the future only for today.... but i'd like to hear her answer too

[LuqmanNaq]

Have you ever heard of trauma bonding? It's not directly related to the experiences of the porn stars but inner trauma, low self-respect and a lacking support system unconsciously pulls people to self-destructive behaviour cycles. Ask any addict, former addict, or anyone who used to be in destructive relationships. Alot of people only manage to stay away from destructive lifestyles if those three things are accepted and addressed. My 2 cents.

[pointman127]

Cause waitresses and cleaners make 5.25 pr hour....

[bambina1991]

@marcellodichiera Unfortunately, Porn usually pays well.

[CreamCheeseIsTasty]

@bambina1991 Really? $800-1000 is alot for a company that sells it for life? And we pated for our tests,paid for dr. bills and meds after getting STD's,etc? Then u do it if u think it's so good

[MissNevada08]

Porn is dark and degrading toward natural human sexuality. I am not religious, but I cannot believe how hardcore it has become from when I was young. This woman is awesome.

[razattack1337]

hardcore porn doesnt even turn me on its more like abuse than a turn on.. how does shit like that sell? sickos >>>> normal folks

[Marena73]

Good to see someone speak out about the abuses these women/girls endure. You're very brave to tell all.

[tedgurung]

Great lady & great work, keep it up

[actmad56]

did you know if sharia law was implemented on the world , the porn industry wouldnt exist

[DaneVincentVid]

Im an atheist and i am anti porn.

[chefpasta]

Same here I don't think you have to have faith to know that porn is just wrong.

[oldinfant23]

Your really great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Semeadora777]

Aleluia!!!!

[Thaliaa90]

gd job ;)

[aliceladylike]

God bless you all, and I hope that everything works out okay. Shelley's a hero!

[JEIWILBER]

There´s no more to do with porn without hurt that girlz !

What we have to do ?

The porn is getting worse !

[srose1977]

Thank you very much. May Allah bless you.

[oldinfant23]

Yeah!

May the Muslim and Christian come together against pornography!!!!!!

[kissfan7]

Everyone should oppose exploitation, regardless of religion or non-religion. Making this a sectarian or a partisan issue will do no good.

[Heineken57sauce]

Its funny you say that.. because the Jew runs over 75% of porno in America..

[serenanocturna]

California is so busy throwing tax-dollars away to help illegal aliens that apparently they have nothing left to help American citizens like these poor young people who are drowning in porn. Now CA is practically bankrupt! Dump the illegals & help Americans instead!

[girlofrecon]

You are a HERO, THANKS!

Why IS "this" leagal

[nuclearnight]

Thank you for sharing this information. What you do is helping make the world a better place.

[korruptangell]

What a wonderful woman!

[shaheen147]

good for you

[shaheen147]

you have done a very wonderful work by leaving a pornography

[shaheen147]

thanks

[crazy87jim]

2:26 I can't find this information, where is it?

[crazy87jim]

would you describe women that defend their role in this as resembling 'stockholm syndrome'?

[crazy87jim]

I'm not an expert, so I'm very curious, but don't quite a few industries have a large 'outfall'

some things aren't for everyone

[SOUPRUN01]

I was watching When we were Kings and Ali said if he wins fight then he can use it for good of people. I have simular feeling for people who anyone like this who 1. exposes exploitation of women, anyway reminds me of that.

[lindseyjunebug]

good for you!

[flo123456]

Wow, what a brave woman.

[RezaHossain]

Yea, that is the way to go. ...................

[whistlindude]

someone had to start great god bless

[Katy1985]

That is not a life, that is HELL... oh well, but thank God at least some people can know the truth about porn. and hopefully can break the addiction from it

[quarqill]

Now a growing number of porn stars are filing for bankruptcy as business dries up.

[kevinmom]

Shelly.......the work that you are doing is no different from what people like Mother Theresa was doing. Go babe go!!! My heart goes out to you. Love you so much for this awesome testimony. Please don't stop. No matter what.

[150Spoke9]

This Is Just Only The Start. Shelly Lubben Is Going Places Instead Of The Ones Left Behind. Until The Rest Of The Ladies And Gentlemen Open Up Their Eye & Senses, They Will Still Be In Industry Just Only For The Money And Not For Their Common Sense Of Their Souls. It Will Take A Lot More Than This To Make It Worth While Nine9eniN.

[150Spoke9]

This Industry Is Just Like Congress! Beyond Any Reasonable Doubt!

They Hide The Inconvenient Truth And Misplaced The Real Evidence In Where Places Where No One Can Find Out Or Take Out The Obstacle That's In Their Way!

It's Just Another Way Of Saying "Withholding Evidence Is Lawful", Including "Obstruction Of Justice Is True Law For That Opposite Side Of The Law.

Congress Barely Keeps In Touch With Real Reality. It's Buried In Their Own Holocaust Of An Agenda Called "N.W.O." Nine9eniN

[jasonvorheesXxX]

kudos to her... gid bless her. thsi video has hhelped me realize what goes on behind the screen... also helped away from porn. GOD BLESS HER

[herenow23]

God bless her for this

[Slegarthoth]

PeterTheZoo, this will motivate you:

Youtube

"Dead Pornstars Memorial"

[twofsandtwogs]

This lady absolutely rocks!

She has clearly had her life completely changed for the better.

Again, Shelly absolutely rocks.

[maximus0455]

Very very good work

[AaronMH9]

Wow, I never knew it was like that.

[bigboyvernon]

Wow, God was with you that day. Awesome testimony.

[cheesemomma]

Hey Shelly,go on Dr Phil,Tyra Oprah and the morning talk shows as well as the schools and spread your message,Get help from the anti-porn movement and those who are like you blowing the whistle on the industry.The industry is already getting hit with even more problems,falling DVD sales,viewership on the 24/7 sites dropping,racism,stalking and a whole lot more.

[RobGoth100]

Very brave lady.

[cheesemomma]

Nina Hartley was on Tyra Banks Show defending the industry.Shelly and her many fellow porn stars should saturate the TV talk shows and news magazines shows blowing the whistle on the industry and not back down from threats.I watched the Daed Porn Stars videos and add low pay and racism to the growing problems hitting porn.Go to the schools,churches and town halls and speak your mind Shelly.

[quarqill]

she may not be the only one speaking out.AIDS,stalking,and now racism and underage performers.And the industry is asking for a government bailout?

[MOVIMKR7]

ps i am not a pornographer, or film makeer for them, i am

a struggling filim maker, i have not , will not, nor ever will make porn, just struggle like hell with it, in my soul

[MOVIMKR7]

very very very very proud of you , i am struggling to get out of internet porn, it has ruined my life, it is wrong, porn is wrong, women are the GLory of man, and GODS face is on women. Darkness hates the light of any good. SO shelly bless you

and i am trying like hell to get out, so bless you all the love and gods speed

[kaneose]

The body must of not of been designed for this type of work, kind of makes one wonder.

[zmode82]

Pornography is no joke, guys. I was raised as a Christian my whole life, this addiction led me to become someone I swore I would never be. The guilt was unbearable. Until I reconciled my heart to JesusChrist, He made a change in me. However, I do know my sins are forgiven, but now I feel I dont deserve the right to marry a woman. So, guys if youre a Christian, I know its hard, but save yourself for marriage. Its worth it.

[DianaBoston]

Go Shelly! Your video helped me make the decision to never go out with a guy or girl who uses porn in any way.

[xGlitterheartx]

Excellent. You go Shelley Lubben, I think you're very brave to fight against the wretched business of porn. Thank you for posting this up.

[quarqill]

The industry will send someone to refute her testimony.But they should take a look at the number of former stars speaking up.And the pay they get for having sex with actors they barely know and,many lie saying they are clean from AIDS and other diseases.

[taifsyed]

The people she is arguing against are not looking for logic. They already know that what they are doing is wrong, morally or scientifically. They are just doing what they are doing because they WANT to do it, not because they think it's ok. Those guys have a corrupted soul and until and unless they heal the soul,all the logic in the world won't stop them from doing what they are doing. I admire Shelly's attempt and may the Wrath of God descend upon corrupted people who misguide others. Ameen!

[jouhainey]

what you are doing is very brave , and your efforts is the best solutions i've ever heard .what i don't understand how the law protects pornography producers , directors and studios .. while they jeopardies the rest of american nation and the whole world to sexual crimes and prostitution . but go on shelley , the history won't forget what you are doing .

[MichaeljacksonAFG]

She is smart

I hope allah,god,jesus will helps her

keep ya head up girl

[Ruks8]

where is the other part?

thank you for posting ...expose it so that everyone can see damaging effect of porn industry

[hans346o]

i wish her enough power for her work and all support she needs to continue her work...go Shelley

[prophic12345]

this should be on national tv for everyone see

[pekirabia]

Big up girl, very smart woman!!!!

[bvindh]

a great woman....much unlike "the patron saint of pedophiles" aka Joseph Alois Ratzinger aka Pope Benedict XVI.

but notice the irony that thousands would still look down upon her and yet look up to the pope in respect!!

[PaleHorseApocalipse]

Go Shell.. Destroy the rot!!

[jadeshuhoi]

I am glad that Shelley is doing all this great work! Keep up the activism for these people that need help so desperatly. I can't see how anyone would not want to help these people trapped in this awful crisis. It is all too degrading! I wish I knew how I could help. Go Shelly!

[Jayn0o]

Keep up the good fight ! Porn is evil.

[fukavchip12]

You go girl-keep recovering-You are very special and strong to be able to do thiis!!!! :)

[Gal19new86]

God bless you and your family. I am a man who has watched porn and i find it disgusting to think of what goes on in the industry let alone ashamed of supporting it by having watched. I am really proud of you for saying this stuff. Keep up the good work and hopefully we can ban porn eventually. God is truly with you and has used you to do good.

[Roshibear]

If OSHA really does have those laws on the books then why don't you just sue?  I find that very incredulous.

I understand porn performers can't unionize because quite frankly there are too many poeple willing to do it. But that's not the industry's fault. If you don't like the behavior of the production companies that exist or what they pay then why not start your own?

People come into this buisness with mental problems that's a sad fact, but again is that the industry's fault?

[aea2798]

People come in with mild mental problems and come out with major ones. Being in porn in like being a war zone only worse-it completely destroys your sense of safety, trust, its damaging, exploitive, horrific, and women do suffer for the rest of their lives with flashbacks, it retraumatizes people over and over and over again. You have no idea.

[longbeachlt]

The devil is behind Porn this stuff want to kill your soul and cast you to hell, the flesh is so weak! i notice to more you make your slef read the bible the more good there is in you !

TRUST JESUS WITH ALL YOUR MIND SOUL AND HEART!! Go to war aginst Porn!

[fotograh]

God bless you for your mission of helping bring awareness of the great damagae the pornography is bringing to the economic budget of California and the pain/suffering that it causes the actress/actors in it. God bless you Shelly!

[blinkzone1]

CNN should show and document the shady sides on the porn industry and the abuses women go through day to day.

[sibawi]

Hey. Let me tell you that you're doing a great job. As a Muslim I believe and I always say "stop abusing women."

I have always had this idea that porn actresses are being abused and forced to do so many bad things and that those people who are abusing them should be stopped.

Well I hope you can convince people that porn is not good. It's really difficult because people become obsessed with porn. But at least you can try, and if you need my help, well I'm here.

[meheale]

This really shows the real disgusting side of porn

[hendrix910]

I think nobody does anything about it is cuz they're addicted to watching it

[raddiben]

the cruel truth..

GO GO SHELLEY!!

[girlonlaptop]

Thank you for taking a stand for women. ---yes its prostitution when anyone gets paid for sex---how much money does the government earn in tax dollars yearly on the porn industry? why is america pimping out people ? why do we allow this? Its unjust and the general welfare of the people is at stake...which is a violation of my rights as a citizen of this country. Keep doing what you are doing! Thank you!

[Vassilio]

I'm really sorry about this situation. It is extremely sad.

[chuno6]

dam if i was president no more porn women should no be treated better. and bless you for coming out more EX pornstar should

[AnthonyPhilipTorres]

lol i already knew all this. Great vid though 5 stars. People should check out how members of the illuminati use the industry at their parties, its pretty wild. 5 stars.

[loveablenclassy]

This is so true. I am impressed. I don't understand how someone can do porn. I don't care how hot anyones body is.

[prophic12345]

How is it posible that this is going on and no one is doing anything to stop it. It takes courage to speak out

against such a powerful industry

[roninjapanTV]

Great Job!God bless your work.

[Shadowsadist]

You go girl.

You keep up the work.

GIRL IS GOIN' STRONG!

[BRONXPEPE]

wow im glad u confess ur experience there is so much more to life than sex and every where we go sex sells on everything the simple things dont matter to people nomore sex should still be a private pleasure and when dating a new guy first thing i usually hear is what is ur favorite sex position im like huh what u got to go lol

[macalex82]

strong woman... porn is the devil

[jezsebel]

its so good i see more people are against porn and women/men abuse in both porn and in real life! good job putting out this videos:):)

[777yojoe]

9000 veiwers and only 2 comments on this,just goes to show,most people have nothing real to say,u go girl bring those girls to christ

[saltlakemom]

Keep up the good work Shelley. God bless you.

[NefetariaY21]

I applaud u for ur boldness!!! God Bless you in your efforts..my prayers are with you! : )

[amante7777]

I wonder how many of these women are victims of mind control or satanic ritual....

[jsilva8869]

The sad thing is that the society we live in will only pretend to care. The money from the porn industry probably owns the legislatures. Half of these politicians are womanizers also. You are doing the right thing though and fighting back. All you can do is fight and trust in god. You have a courageous story. I think your story can teach people a lesson outside of the porn industry. We live in a culture that lives for lust,money, and greed. Weman don't even know what a decent man is.

[starwarsfan82]

i thought porno was just fucking wtf.i hate porno now.

[Lectricboots]

nice to hear this. Thank you.

[aussiebear22]

You don't realise the consequences until you hear about it. ie: Exploitation, deception, burden on public services, etc.

[Dimdream]

good job Shelley!

[LeftLiberalSoCal]

From the subtitle it looks like my suggestion from the previous comment was answered. Wow.

Yes. Tax the Porn industry. That's what they should do. As a country, we need the money. The USA is in massive debt, we could add somthing like 25 billion dollars per year just by taxing this industry.

In the 1990's era France was known as the epicenter of Porn. In 1999 the French government imposed a 90% Porn tax. Today the French Porn industry is almost gone. We need the money. USA is bankrupt.

[longtallsallie08]

SCISSORS THOUGH!?

[dunamission]

Wow!

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. (2 Cor 5:17).

Now you are a shining light in satans dark world of vice. God bless you!

[KeithTruth]

God Bless you for your work helping these people my sister.

Jesus is Lord.

[neptuneey]

Thank-you for speaking out, so brave an moving.

[braino2000]

Porn is NO GOOD for society. You don't have to be religious to despise this crap. It's so detrimental to human beings it's rediculous.

[Iseeyoursoul]

Just looking at porn leaves me severely depressed because I'm feeding into the exploitation of our mothers, our daughters... it's debilitating.

[Iseeyoursoul]

Porn is a growing disease in our culture. We need more like her to speak up about this shit.

[braino2000]

Porn is the number one killer of humankind. Want to see the influence porn has on people? It perverts functioning minds. And talk to Ted Bundy. He raped and killed hundreds of women and said "it all started with pornography." I'm just sayin sexual health is like dominos. YOu hit the wrong spot at the wrong time and everything's a mess! Stand against porn for...HUMANITY. Its not progress.

[crystalAura]

She's a very powerful speaker. She speaks out the truth.

[Alternate2GOP]

The truth definitely set her free.

[rainbow1892]

sister I behind you 100% I use to watch porn NO more from this day forward now that i know all this Information I didn't know why make these ppl rich!?

[sailorcharlene]

god bless you

[Lanoelle]

Thanks for this video

[dovecry2]

Shelly thank you for the courage to speak the truth! God Bless YOu - You are courageous Psalms 68

[coachtaskmaster]

Thank you for all you're doing for the casulties of the industry. God bless.

[historix]

I supporte your fighting..

[Lasoaaro]

This was amazing. Very informative. Is there anywhere where I can watch the whole case...? I'd like to learn more about what's goin' on...

[AntiPornographyBlog]

Great job, Shelley! :-) Your courage and commitment are very inspiring. Thank you so much for telling the truth about the harms of the pornography industry, and for doing so much to help all of the abused and exploited young women who so desperately need assistance and guidance.

[FallaciesDetective]

I´m so happy You are out of this and that Your heart is recovering, and YES Your heart is beautiful and You are all beautiful!!!!!!!

Greetings and blessings from the FallaciesDetective

[lamibydesign]

*Applauds*

Well done Shelley, and Praise Jesus!

[kayteelady]

I heart you

[ChristineRemixed]

Praise God, many people stand with you Shelley! keep speaking the truth
