Jenna Presley Interview

She calls me Friday morning, Jan 20, 2005.

Jenna says that as a kid she wanted to become an actress. "When I hit seventh grade, I wanted to be a Playboy model.

"In highschool, I hung out with all the people who thought they were popular, who got nominated for Homecoming Queen. I was nominated as well but then I got put in the hospital for anorexia.

"I was an extreme dieter in my junior and senior year in highschool. I got down to the point where I couldn't diet anymore without dying, so I was put in the hospital by my parents. I'm over that now. I was in the hospital my entire senior year. It sucked. I was so bored.

"They told me in the hospital that someone who is anorexic never knows they're anorexic until they go on their first diet. My friend and I had gone on a diet together. We had only wanted to lose a good ten pounds, which would've been healthy for us. She stopped when she lost ten pounds. I couldn't quit, which is typical with anybody who has the disorder.

"I left the hospital the day I turned 18 [April 1, 2005]. I went back on my diet. One day I passed out in a store and got my license taken away. I checked myself back into hospital three weeks after I checked myself out. I stayed for four months."

"How did you overcome the problem?"

"I just checked myself into a good hospital. My uncle helped. He started crying because I was so thin, he thought I was going to die. Me and my uncle get along so well, better than anyone. Seeing him cry just crushed me."

"What was the least you weighed?"

"Fifty eight pounds [Jenna stands 5'1]. I checked into the hospital at 70-pounds. I refused to eat when I was in the hospital.

"I originally weighed 135-pounds. I lost weight quickly. I stopped at 105. Then I decided to go on that ten-pound diet. I weigh 95-pounds now."

"How old were you when you lost your virginity?"

"Fourteen, but that wasn't by choice. By choice, about 16."

"How did it affect you getting raped at 14?"

"Ohmigod. I kept my mouth shut. I didn't tell anyone, but it had a huge impact on my life. It was always in the back of my head. I was always scared to go to bed at night. When I was raped, I weighed 100 pounds, so I decided I had to weigh 99 pounds or less. My mind was all warped. I just had it in my head that if I was under 100 pounds, I wouldn't be raped."

"How many guys did you sleep with voluntarily before you turned 18?"

"Only three. Then I went to college [June 2005] and went crazy [had about 14 lovers, all protected she says] and then I got into porn [September 2005 and quit college].

"I was stripping at Spearmint Rhino. A couple of producers saw me and introduced me to Derek [Hay of LADirectModels]."

Jenna estimates she's done 125 scenes. "I was booked for three scenes the other day."

"Do you ever get injured?"

"Never. My pussy is like leather. I never get hurt.

"I'm saving my money. I plan on buying a house. I have a non-exclusive contract to direct and producer my own films for Shy Love Productions and Vicious Media."

"How often do you take 8x10s with you when you go to dinner?"

"I just did that that one night. I get a lot of emails and a lot of people on MySpace writing to me, 'How come we never see you?' This is not mainstream. I did it as a joke one night and a lot of people showed up at a club. I had brought 200 of them.

"People kept asking to see me, so I said, I'm going to the Ivy with my sister. About 25 people showed up. The Ivy was pissed."

"How did you like the convention in Vegas?"

"I had my purse stolen from me on Sunday. Other than that, I had a blast. I'm getting booked more because of everyone I met there."

"What do you love and hate about the porn industry?"

"I love the money and the sex and I hate when I'm booked with complete perverts who are groping you throughout the scene, or, when you are booked for a BJ scene, they ask, 'Can I put it in you?' Yeah, pay me.

"Europeans and people new to the business are more professional. They don't give a f--- about you."

"So why did you want the picture of you kissing Ron Jeremy taken down?"

"My friend Frank, who owns Bad Ass Models, was disgusted by that picture, so I took it down. It was also causing some drama. There's a girl in this business who I can't stand who told everybody that I was f------ him, which was a complete lie."

"What's it like trying to date and have relationships while you're working in porn?"

"It's horrible. Nobody wants to date me. They just want to f--- me. I don't have sex in my personal life unless the guy will date me. There's one guy that I'm with right now. I haven't had sex with him yet. He's involved in the industry. He's not talent.

"People see me, even friends from highschool, they come to visit me and try to get laid. 'Excuse me, we're friends. We're not f--- buddies.'

"I try to stay with guys who are familiar with the industry, guys who understand that this is just a job and I'm not attracted to any of the guys I work with. I was dating a guy who was talent. That didn't last too long."

Jenna Presley blogged Dec 27, 2005:

Please, let me explain this to you!! Im in porn, I have sex EVERYDAY!! What makes these boys that I get invloved with think that ALL I want is SEX??? NOOOOO I have feelings and emotions, im not a fucking blow up doll! I want a relationship... I want a guy to appriciate me, and buy me dinner without the thought of "I BETTER GET LAID FOR THIS!" You should invite me over as a girfriend with the feeling of excitement because you get to cuddle with a NICE girl, that just so happens to do porn. Im in porn and in my WORK life, yes, im a whore, no nice words needed. BUT In my PERSONAL life, I want to be loved and adored, im not materialistic so burn me a fucking cd with songs that remind you of me! Am I doing something wrong? Why do you ONLY want sex? Why are you suddenly SCARED of relationships? waaaaa I Just want to come home to a boy thats happy to see me, casue thats the biggest turn on, and then without even expecting it... YOULL GET LAID!

Luke: "How has it affected you being in porn?"

Jenna: "My mom's side of the family is understanding but my dad's side, my stepdad, I went to a family party and nobody knew what to talk about with me. They were standoffish.

"My brother [10] and sister [14] are cool. They know it's just a job. My brother said, 'Eversince you were in eighth grade, you've said you would be famous, only you didn't know how.' I'm not famous but he sees me on the computer so... 'You always said you were going to be on TV but you didn't know what you were going to do, and you're doing it. I like that. I want to be a motorcross rider and now I know I can do it.'

"That's cool that my little brother looks up to me. Not necessarily the porn side of it, but that I always said I was going to do something on TV and now I'm doing it."

"Your sister is able to deal with you being a porn star?"

"Yeah. She likes the attention at school. She goes to the same highschool I did. I was friends with a lot of the people who were younger than me. So, people always tell her, 'Hey, your sister is doing porn now.' She says she likes the attention. It was hard for her going into highschool, but now knowing a lot of the upper-graders, it's made it a lot easier for her.

"I want to go back to school and do some internet classes. If I'm going to direct for Vicious Media, I want to do it right. I want to start my own company one day. I have a couple of mainstream offers.

"I want a family so bad, maybe when I'm 28, 29, 30. Obviously when I'm not having sex for a living."

3/5/06

Jenna calls me Sunday morning. "I've worked 35 days in a row. This is my first day off.

"I'm finding that with less drama, I get shot a lot more.

"I went to a party Friday night at Cinemax and met a lot of B-list actors. I know a lot of A-list people who are cool, but hanging out with B-list people, they think they're huge. They made sure they told me what they do for a living. This one guy is reading two lines on CSI tomorrow and he wants me to watch.

"It was the first time I had gone out in a while and I had the worst headache."

Luke: "In real life, are you loud in bed?"

Jenna: "In my real life, I like to make love, but right now I'm f------ a guy who f---- like a porn guy, even though he's not in porn. He makes me really loud because he f---- me. He doesn't have sex with me. I don't typically f--- a guy unless he's my boyfriend. This is the only guy I make an exception to because he's a really good friend of mine. He's married.

"It's his choice. I told him I didn't want to. She doesn't know.

"He's hot. Down-to-earth. Cool. I'm all about personality, it doesn't matter what you look like. If you can make me laugh. He's hilarious.

"If you're sweet and confident, it doesn't matter if you are a 500-pound fatman.

"Steven St. Croix invited me to the Cannes Film Festival. I thought it was in Oklahoma."

Luke: "What percentage of people in the industry do you think have a drug or alcohol problem?"

Jenna: "Huge. I think that 90% of the business does drugs or alcohol but maybe 70% have a problem. I include pot as a drug. I know people who come on set stoned and they can't perform. A drug problem to me is when it affects your work life.

"There was a director who got really drunk on set the other day and he started crying for his mommy.

"I drink every now and then. I rarely smoke pot because I will just binge for two days after. That's how pot affects me.

"I know that if I take shots, it's a problem that runs in my family. I can have one Malibu and Pineapple and then be cool the whole night. I smoke cigarettes. That's all I do.

"I smoke half-a-pack a day of Capri. At least I look like a lady while I'm smoking.

"I did the whole drug and alcohol thing. I'm over it. I danced in Tijuana."

Luke: "How many friends do you keep up with from highschool?"

Jenna: "None of them. There's one girl in my top eight and my sister is my number one.

"She's a nice girl, but when I got put in the hospital for anorexia, not one person called me. They all have their excuses. But at least she drives up to see me regularly. I think she's trying to make up for not calling me.

"I don't know if that is because she's very into the Hollywood scene and wants to be famous. She can't live that through me. I'm not in the Hollywood scene and I'm not famous. I think she thinks it's cool that I've met people in Hollywood through this business. She considers porn an option.

"I tell her, 'If you want to get into mainstream, don't get into porn.'"

Jenna blogs:

While I was suffering from anorexia senior year [at Hilltop High School] I wrote a journa entry on you all. Its a little harsh but I thought you should know that I WAS in tears. NO ONE Called me, and it hurt! Why do you want to talk now that I am making money? You WILL NOT be getting any! SO HERE is THE JOURNAL ENTRY:

*****I BLANK OUT MY WEIGHT FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES, PEOPLE FIND IT OFFENSIVE, THIS JOURNAL ENTRY MAY BE OFFENSIVE, SO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! May 17,2005 ASSERTIVE WITH PEERS: When I was in Kindergarten I remember being the leader and so many wanted to be me. What happened? Ever since 1st grade, I have become the follower. I always do what me peers tell me to do, I always have to be the "perfect" friend and in order to do so I have to be a pushover. I only wish that I could find the leader in me once again. I wish that i could say, "no" and stand up for what I truely believe instead of doing what everyone else does. I have become such the copy cat in an attempt to be (once again) the "PERFECT FRIEND" BUT it obviously had not worked because ever since I have gone to an inpatient center NOT ONE of my friends has called me except for this girl from my outpatient center I previously attended which makes me feel as though I can only be friends with other anorexics because we can truely realte and understand ones feelings.

ANYHOW, if I could build courage, I would call ALL of my "so-called" friends and I would tell them to "f--- OFF". I was NOTHING but nice to them and they can't even pick up the phone and f---ING CALL ME? You know, I had a "friend" that was stabbed, I believe senior year right before I was hospitalized, and I CALLED HIM IN THE HOSPITAL TO MAKE SURE HE WAS HEALING. NO he never called me! It really pisses me off and Its NOT like I can call any of these people because my mother erased ALL of their numbers off of my cell phone. With this said, I am SOO Nervous for my High School graduation on June 18 because this means that I have to see all of the f---heads that I USED to consider my friends. What will I say to them? "Hi how have you been? JUST incase you were wondering, I was suffering from f---ING anorexia, I was (blank) f---ing Lbs, I weighed less than my 11 yr old little brother, I was having Kidney failure, I had heart trouble, I lost my period, I could have had a stroke and you never called ME!! f--- OFF

WELL That was almost a year ago, but I AM NOW more assertive with peers which was MY goal. So i thought I would post an OLD journal entry. This Still bothers me, its been on my mind.

Luke: "Have any of your fans turned into friends?"

Jenna: "No. I don't meet anyone on the internet. I tried to but this guy told me he was an agent in mainstream and he turned out to be my biggest stalker.

"Highschool is hard for me to remember because I was so malnourished the last two years. Studying for a test was a bitch because it was so hard to remember everything.

"My mom bought me a car at 16 and she wants it back. I'm not driving it anyway because I don't have a license.

"When I had anorexia, I had my driver's license taken away because I was passing out in public places. I passed out in food stores. I haven't passed out since June but I'm having a helluva time getting my license back.

"I call my brother all the time but he's always busy. He's always BMX racing or doing homework.

"The last time I talked to you, I told you he was ten. He's 12. He read the interview and said to me, 'I'm not ten, you idiot!'"

Luke: "He's reading your stuff?"

Jenna: "He always does. I told him you made a mistake.

"I got an email from him last month. He said he got in a fight with the principal's son and punched him twice and gave him a black eye. 'I got suspended.'

"I've never been in a fight in my entire life. I got a little teary-eyed.

"I'm reading my friend Dave Navarro's book Don't Try This At Home. He's a former heroin addict."

Jenna writes on ADT:

JennaPresleyxxx.com Is my new site, check it out. Its been extremely hard promoting it because I was once working on JennaPresley.com, however Derek Hay from La Direct Models owns the domain name and is refusing to sell it to me. I would LOVE to do some hardcore stuff on my website but because jennapresley.com is such a horrible site (being that I have NOTHING to do with it) people that buy a membership to that site are extremely unhappy (i do NOT blame them, it only has 2 scenes) So why on earth would they purchase a membership to JennaPresleyxxx.com? They expect the same disappointment. Therefore I am having trouble getting people to sign up to JennaPresleyxxx.com which BTW has a good amount of scenes as well as some great hardcore photo shoots. So once I can convince people to sign up to JennaPresleyXXX.com I will do live chats, I will do scenes that can only be found on my website, I would also love to personalize scenes for my fans upon their request, and I would LOVE to do some solo ANAL scenes. But as of right now, I do not have enough members. Good old Derek.
