Early March 2015 I started web-camming on Chaturbate as Asuna Luv. My following on the site went up to over 10K in less than 2 weeks and I had gotten multiple offers to model out in California. Obviously the modeling was nude and obviously I thought all the emails were scams. I was laying in bed one night, not feeling too well, and I figured I had nothing to lose…. I sent an email back to one of the “agents.” The guy turned out to be professional and trustworthy. I flew into LAX on April 23 2015, three days after my 19th birthday. My first week in Los Angeles was a dream. I went shopping on Melrose, ate dinner at the Universal City Walk, and did a solo photoshoot for 2014’s X-Biz’s Best Adult Website. I met my adult industry woman crush and we hit it off as best friends right away. The owners of the company loved me! They told me they’d pay me to not shoot for anyone else….. Which usually means they want to make you exclusive in the future. My agent and I were so excited, we knew this meant huge things for my career. Lots of exposure and money was in my near future and I couldn’t have been more ready to take on anything. I dropped everything I had back home to give my heart and soul to the company, to the amazing people running it and to be part of the little “family.” They aren’t “porn” they are erotica photographers. The photographer and crew made me feel truly beautiful, something I hadn’t felt before. My agent and I had a long talk about how the company wanted to sign me to a contract…. but only if I shot boy/girl content. After seeing my solo and girl/girl w Aubrey … The members on the sight wanted to see more. Again, this made me feel so special. Even though my original plan was to shoot ONLY solo & girl/girl content for my 1st year in the industry, I signed a b/g contract for the company behind my agent’s back. The owners of the company promised they would take care of my original agent & “buy out” the contract I signed w him so I wouldn’t owe him any money I made from the shoots I did with them. They spoiled me with thousand dollar bags, “girls nights,” even a hot pink Mercedes G Class. I shot 8 b/g scenes for them in two months…. My first two real months in the industry. I was signing contracts here and there and trusting people I didn’t know. The owners of the company seemed like the most genuine people on the planet. They made me feel like we had our own little family that was going to make it big and stick together through anything. As soon as I was able to step back and look at myself in a more humble perspective, I realized that this is not who I wanted to be. Unlike a family, the crew is shallow. They are unorganized and unprofessional. They drink and take pills on set, they lie and most of all… they manipulate. The “contract” has been broken multiple times by the owners themselves. I’m not sure if it is even still valid. The last scene that was released on their sister-site is a b/g/g with a guy who “sometimes” considers his scenes IR. I had never seen the talent before, I didn’t know. I ONLY did the scene because Aubrey was there to make me feel comfortable and it wasn’t considered interracial. As soon as the scene was posted, everyone on Twitter was congratulating me on my first IR and wondering when I would do another. I texted the owner of the company about how upset I was that even the cover photo makes it look like an IR scene. She never specified to our huge Twitter following that it isn’t an IR scene. For one, if it was an IR scene…. The contract states that I have to consent and that I get a bonus for doing something new. The company knew everyone would think this scene is interracial and that they would make money off their new little starlet aka me. I felt completely uncomfortable and disrespected. The only thing I’ve seen from the owner of the company since it was posted is a screen shot of a text to another model saying how I’m “mad over a scene I think was IR when the guy is Latino.” Those were her exact words…. How unprofessional is that? It makes me sad. Last but not least, the owners of the company ranted and raved over a 14K gold and diamond, exclusive unicorn necklace they had made especially for me. I’ve been on vacation for 2 weeks and suddenly I see it all over Twitter on a random model & the owner of the company telling her how much she loves her and how much she deserved it…. After her one solo shoot. After 3 short months, I realized nothing is exclusive w this company and I shouldn’t have wasted my time.

My dad and I don’t get along, but one thing he told me that always stuck with me was “never burn a bridge if it can help you get over something in the future.” Right now I am trying to get out of the lies and make amends w my original agent. I want to find my own place and start web-camming again, and do an occasional solo or girl/girl shoot for any respectful company that would like to book me! I love sex, I love the industry and I don’t want to just… disappear. The company may be hot right now, but the money isn’t worth the drama.
