JESSE: FROM PORN STAR TO
PREACHER ADULT FILM STAR JENNA
PRESLEY HAS HAILED ONE OF THE
TOP PERFORMERS IN HER FIELD
MAKING MORE THAN 300 FILMS AND
MONEY ALONG THE WAY BUT SINCE
SHE HAS FOUND GOD AND QUIT THE
INDUSTRY AND DITCHED THE STAGE
NAME BRITNEY JOINS ME NOW.
SO TAKE US THROUGH THIS HOW
DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH PORN?
.
>> I GOT INVOLVED I FELT VERY
REJECTED GROWING UP AS A CHILD
SO BASICALLY I WAS LOOKING FOR
LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES.
I STARTED DANCING IN COLLEGE
AT A COUPLE PRODUCERS CAME IN
AND SAYING THINGS TO ME I DID
NOT HERE AT HOME.
YOUR BEAUTIFUL, DESTINED TO BE
A STAR.
WE LOVE YOU WE MAKE ROMANCE
MOVIES IF YOU ARE INTERESTED
GIVE A CALL.
NOTHING ROMANTIC ABOUT FOUR
NOBODY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE
TALKING ABOUT I FIGURED I WAS
ALREADY PROMISCUOUS AND TAKE
MY MANY MORE - - MY CLOTHES
OFF FOR MANY.
JESSE: WHAT ARE THE DANGERS?
WAS THERE A LOT OF DRUG ABUSE?
.
>> I DEFINITELY ENCOUNTERED A
LOT OF DRUG ABUSE.
I MYSELF WAS DYED HEROIN AND
DIFFERENT PILLS LIKE COCAINE
FOR SHORT.
OF TIME CRYSTAL METH.
JESSE: WERE YOU DOING THAT TO
GET THROUGH THIS SCENES OR TO
KNOW YOURSELF WHY?
.
>> IT STARTED BECAUSE I WAS AT
105 POUNDS THE DIRECTOR TOLD
ME I WAS FAT AND NEEDED TO
LOSE WEIGHT SO I STARTED TO
USE COCAINE AS AN INSTANT RUSH
AND IT HELPED ME TO GET
THROUGH THE PORN SCENES.
JESSE: YOU MAKE A LOT OF MONEY
AT THE TIME HOW MUCH WE MAKING?
.
>> I WOULD MAKE $30000 A MONTH
FROM PORN OR 50000 IN A
WEEKEND ESCORTING IN NEW YORK.
JESSE: BUT THEN YOU TRY TO GET
OUT WERE YOU SUCCESSFUL RIGHT
AWAY?
.
>> NOT RIGHT AWAY.
I MADE JESUS MY LORD AND
SAVIOR SATAN WAS NOT HAPPY MEN
WERE MY WEAKNESS SO I ENDED UP
GETTING BACK INTO THE ADULT
FILM INDUSTRY FOR ANOTHER
THREE YEARS BUT THAT I WAS
GIVING ALL OF MY MONEY AWAY TO
A PIMP.
JESSE: DO THEY HAVE THAT MUCH
CONTROL?
.
>> YES.
THEY DO HAVE THAT POWER.
HE WON ME OVER THROUGH
MANIPULATION AND MADE ME FEEL
GOOD ABOUT MYSELF.
HE WAS TAKING ME TO CHURCH AND
FROM THERE HE SAID LET'S GET
YOU BACK INTO THE ADULT FILM
INDUSTRY.
I BURNED EVERY BRIDGE IN MY
FAMILY I FELT THIS IS WHAT I
HAVE TO DO.
JESSE: AND YOU FOUND GOD
COMPLETELY QUIT THE BUSINESS?
HOW DID THAT TRANSPIRE LIKE.
>> I STARTED TO READ THE BIBLE
I JUST REMEMBER GOD TELLING ME
ONE DAY YOU NEED TO LEAVE HIM
SO HE HELPED ME TO GET AWAY
TELLING ME TO CALL MY MOTHER
SHE PICKED ME UP WITHIN 20
MINUTES I WAS ON MY WAY TO
FILM A PORN SCENE IN LAS VEGAS
BUT I BROUGHT MY BIBLE IT WAS
WITH ME ON THE AIRPLANE I WAS
READING REVELATIONS ON THE RED
SCRIPTURE THAT SAID I HAVE A
THING AGAINST YOU YOU TOLERATE
JEZEBEL HAVE GIVEN HER TIME TO
REPENT IF SHE DOES AND I WILL
CAST HER AND HER CHILDREN.
THAT ISN'T A FUN SCRIPTURE TO
READ ON YOUR WAY TO FILM A
PORN SCENE BUT THEN GOD
STARTED TO BRING GRACE AND
SAID THIS IS THAT THE LIFE
THAT I HAVE FOR YOU WHAT I
HAVE FOR YOU WERE OVERFLOW
WITH SO MUCH PEACE AND JOY YOU
WILL JUST QUIT THE INDUSTRY
TODAY I WILL BLESS YOUR LIFE
LIKE NO MAN EVER COULD SO I
QUIT AND STARTED GOING TO
CHURCH HE HEALED ME FROM MY
DRUG ADDICTION I'VE BEEN SOBER
FOR SIX YEARS NOW I CAN PREACH
THE GOSPEL AND TRAVEL THE
WORLD TO EVANGELIZE AND GOD
HAS BLESSED MY LIFE.
JESSE: CONGRATULATIONS.
THAT'S AN AMAZING
