Thanks for taking the time to communicate with your fans on this forum...What ever happened to the Adult Industry Assistance Fund? If its not improper to ask, how much did you raise, are you still holding fundraisers, and where has the money gone? It seems to me the industry as a whole really doesnt care much about the health of the performers other than monthly testing, which the talent have to pay for themselves, Seems to me that a multi billion dollar industry would do something for their workers but the porn INDUSTRY does next to nothing.
Thats really sad considering how so many people are now saying how mainstream porn is and how these are corperations being run like any other fortune 500 companies. I mean, a dog being used in a hollywood movie has more protection than an adult performer, and the dogs owner is probably paid more for the use of the dog for one day than a porn performer is paid for a days work.
Jenna replies: My fund took in a fair amount of money, and we helped the performers that were directly effected by the HIV crisis. The problem was, we started getting out of work porn stars calling incessantly begging us to pay there rent.Slowly but surely, the donations stopped, and the calls ceased. In this industry, it seems it's "out of sight, out of mind"I know for certain the money we raised went to a good cause...hopefully it helped out a little.. It was a large undertaking, and was rough to go it alone...
