SICK DIGS
IT'S always open season on porn stars and sex workers, who are publicly mocked for their bodies, ripped for their morality and targets of ridicule from strangers, an adult film star has said.
Gigi Dior, a toned, 40-year-old porn star, has been mocked for being "too skinny" and told many times to "eat a cheeseburger," she told The US Sun in an exclusive interview.

She recounted an incident when she went to an Exxxotica Expo and a stranger walked up to one of her friends and told her to "get a boob job".
"Sex work is a daily struggle for everyone in the industry," Dior said. "You get a constant reminder from out-spoken individuals about your body type, how old you look, the morality of what I am doing, the list is extensive.
"It definitely wears on everyone in the industry over time ... In such a 'body positive' society that we live in now, I feel like I have been left wide open to ridicule.
"I've heard hundreds of times recently, 'eat a cheeseburger' or 'you are too skinny.' I just have to remind myself that they don't know me as a person, and they don't know about my medical history."
PORN STAR STORIES
Dior went through a divorce, lost her money, went on food stamps and stopped eating to make sure she could feed her kids.
"My weight dropped to 86 pounds. I looked like a skeleton. I had to pick myself up one more time and push through life," Dior said.
"I got back to work and started making progress and then the Covid-19 pandemic hit."
That's when she learned about camming and began her work with the pornography site Chaturbate.

"I was so self-conscious of my scar and my age, but everyone in the community was really welcoming. There are always haters out there, but it was mostly a positive experience.
"Suddenly, I had tens of thousands of people in my room watching me."
SECRETS THAT GIGI HEARS WHILE CAMMING
During camming sessions, fans have opened up to Dior and told her things they said they haven't told their significant others.
"While I was on Chaturbate, I had so many people tell me about secret desires that they felt that they couldn't share with their significant other for fear of being judged," she said.
"I had strangers confide in me about secretly being gay but being too afraid to tell their spouse because it would destroy the image that they created.
"I have thousands upon thousands of stories like these."
She wondered out loud why they're more comfortable telling her and not their spouse.
"I believe communication and respect are two key components in any successful relationship. I know people judge me and look down upon me for what I do, but I made conscious life decisions," she said.
"I accept myself for who I am. I feel sorry for all of the people out there living lies and not living their best lives.
"GET A BOOB JOB"
Dior said she's been grateful for her fans and how camming has got her back on her feet, but she said there are a lot of people who feel like they can tell sex workers anything they want.
Dior recalled the time at an Exxxotica Expo when she was with Alex Coal, who Dior described as "a super-star and "a high-energy personality who wants to give her fans "the best experience possible" when they meet her.
"What people don't see is that at the end of the day, she is physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted," Dior said. "She gives her fans everything she has because she's truly grateful for their support.
Somebody walked up to Alex and told her that she needs to 'get a boob job.' She is one of the bubbliest and kindest people that I know, and she was absolutely devastated."
This is just one story out of an incalculable amount of incidents involving sex workers where "people feel that they are more at liberty to leave decorum and manners at the door because we are in sex work."
"Could you imagine walking up to your child's teacher at back-to -school night and recommending that they get breast augmentation surgery?" Dior said.

Dior said she was "astonished" to see how "tight-knit" the pornography industry is and she's been able to surrounded herself with friends who have had her back.
"I feel like we look out for each other," she said. "There are several predators and scam-artists out there looking to prey on people in this industry."
