Dior, who hit the headlines recently after the luxury fashion brand Christian Dior sued her for trademark infringement, has been a survivor throughout her life
"My first time willingly having sex was after having been raped multiple times and after years of unrelated molestation," Dior said.
"I have met numerous girls in this industry who have similar pasts as me. I think that we are psychologically drawn into this industry.
"I'm by no means saying that everyone in this industry has experienced that same path, but I fear it is fairly common."
PORN STAR STORIES
Dior was an infomercial queen and an award-winning model that included New York runways, print ads for clothing and retail items, and stock photography.
She also acted as an extra on the soap opera One Life to Live and the show Rescue Me. By 2006, she was married and settled in New Jersey.
But her now ex-husband gave her ultimatums, including giving up modeling. She chose him and couldn't get back into modeling.
"I started having kids, and every time I mentioned going back to modeling, I would get pregnant again," Dior said. "It was a very dark time in my life.

"I became a full-time mom with no source of income. I was, for all intents and purposes, trapped. I made plans to escape several times, but there was always something to draw me back.
"There was always another pregnancy, a bad car accident or illness to keep me from leaving."
Finally, she filed for divorce and restraining order and left. But she was broke with children.
"All of our accounts were cleaned out," Dior said.
"I had to borrow money from my parents just to keep the water and electricity on at my house. I had to go on food stamps just to feed my kids.
"I stopped eating because I didn’t want to take food away from my kids. The stress I felt was palpable. My car was repossessed, and I contemplated suicide several times."
"I WOKE UP TO MY DAUGHTER CRYING ... I NEARLY DIED"
Then she developed a bleeding ulcer that she said "got so bad that it ate through my stomach and perforated."
"I was going into septic shock and my blood levels were dangerously low," Dior said.
"I had to move out of the house I was renting and downsize because I could no longer afford it. I remember fighting through the pain because I had a deadline to hit for which to be out the house."
She didn't make it.
"I blacked out. I woke up to my daughter standing over me crying," she said.
Dior was able to drive herself to the emergency room, where she went into surgery to have part of her stomach removed and her intestines were re-sectioned.
"When I woke up, I remembered that I just cried and cried," Dior said. "I felt like my life was over. I didn’t know how I was going to pay for the medical bills. I had no insurance.
"My weight dropped to 86 pounds. I looked like a skeleton. I had to pick myself up one more time and push through life."
CAMMING AND FIGHTING THE DEMONS
Then the pandemic shut down the country. That's when she discovered Onlyfans and camming and began her new career.
"I was always fascinated with sexuality," Dior said. "I wanted to explore that side of me more, and I needed the money, so I decided to start camming with Chaturbate.
"I was so self-conscious of my scar and my age, but everyone in the community was really welcoming," she said.
But there are so many detractors who look down on sex workers and ridicule adult film stars for the bodies. She's been told to "eat a cheeseburger" and mocked for being skinny.
"Mental health in this industry is a real concern," Dior said. "People in this industry struggle daily with body critiques, stigmas cast about without care and troubled pasts.
"I probably got into the industry for the wrong reasons, and I'm sure my past weighed heavily on my decisions, but I am stronger now.

"My reasoning for being in the industry now is to explore and take back my sexuality that was stolen from me at a young age.
"I am still fighting the demons in my past, but my future looks better than ever. "
