I thought Jenna handled that interview well and also that interview with that guy that is known to rip folks up.
The show said she was married in June to her live in love of 5 years, Ron was his name? He seems like fun.
I had no idea Jenna was bi and actually had a relationship with another woman when she was younger.

thanks hun
reily is just a hardass by nature. i guess that is why he has his own show. the thing that floored me is that at 17, she was making a night what most webmasters now make in a week (at best). and just like any kid, she took a few wrong turns. i really was not a fan of hers (perse) before i saw that show. although i wouldn't run out and buy her videos, i wouldn't mind seeing her as a spokes person for this industry.
hell if hollywood can have george clooney, bono and bill gates, then why can't we have someone as well?!?
i remember when my grandmother found out i was working in the adult biz. i was visiting her and she was sitting outside (this was on a sunday after church) in her favorite chair. she just had that look on her face and man i thought hell was going to break loose. now to understand why i was so panicky, she was a WASP in WWII, single mother (for that day and age it was a lot to raise a child on your own; judgements were handed down left and right for single mothers), after her military stint, she was an air traffic controller for 30 years. she was/is friends with armstong and the crew that landed on the moon. so you can say she was/is extremely established as a women for her time. it's only fair to say that i thought she would want me to follow suit in some manner.
anyway, she looks at me and says so you're doing so and so huh? i'm like yup, i am. she said that she never thought i would going into a business like this however, she knew that it was very lucrative (i thought i was gonna fall on the floor). she continued to tell me the only things she wanted me to make sure of is that i was happy, profitable, safe and maintained my self respect.
watching that interview last night reminded me of one of the reasons i got into this biz. besides the money, you can still maintain who you are and reach whatever goals you set for yourself. this biz is really no different from banking, brokerage, insurance, etc... there is scandelous behavior in all businesses. i will say this until i die, it is how you present yourself that will earn you respect from your colleagues and even those you will never come in contact with. i will never meet jenna but she has now earned my repsect.
