Mar. 9, 2022 "'Euphoria' breakout star Chloe Cherry says she 'lost a lot of female friends' after doing porn": Today I found this article by David Artavia on Yahoo news. I have never watched Euphoria and I don't know who this actress is. I did like the article and interview:
Chloe Cherry has gained a growing number of fans since her breakout role in HBO’s Euphoria.
In a candid interview on the podcast Call Her Daddy, the actress opened up about her years working as an adult film star, how she overcame a serious eating disorder and how all of it has impacted her relationship with friends, family and herself.
“I was a porn star for many years. I worked very hard in that industry,” said Cherry, who’s starred in over 200 adult films and has over 125 million views on PornHub.
Though now Cherry admits she's “done” with the industry, she said she doesn’t regret being part of it. However, her work impacted her personal relationships.
“The only thing that sucks about working in porn is the way that people will treat you outside of the industry,” she explained. “Just the way that, suddenly, my friends that I was friends with in high school didn’t want to be friends anymore because they thought I was going to f*** their boyfriend. It’s like, I don’t want anything to do with your boyfriend.”
“These weird ideas that people get about you I think that’s the only bad thing about it,” she added of being in the porn industry. “People thought just because you were this way on camera that you are actually going to be [that person].”
“I lost a lot of female friends because they thought I couldn’t be around them,” she added. “Or their boyfriend would say no you can’t hang out with her, and they actually would listen to them, which I thought was the craziest part.”
That level of judgment, Cherry explained, also extended to her family — including her mother, who said “probably the most hurtful words” to her about the topic.
“My mom said to me that sex work is the lowest thing a person can do,” she remembered. “And that’s like the one thing I’ll share [publicly] that I disagree with so deeply. And I don’t know if there are other people out there that agree with that but I think trying to put down your own family is lower."
“My family is a lot more than my mom and I’m still very close with them,” the actress clarified. “It was just insane the judgment people had that will forever blow my mind.”
Eventually the judgment took a heavy toll on Cherry, who explained that she developed an eating disorder after an adult film agent told her she needed to lose weight.
“It all started when this agent I had when I was in porn said to my face that I was fat,” she explained. “He said, ‘Everyone says that you’re fat and the fastest way to lose weight is by not eating.’ he said that to me and I was like, ‘What the f***?’”
“It just turned into an eating disorder ’cause I was so young at the time,” she continued. “He said that to me when I was 18. It was so f*****g freaky because no one in my whole life said that I was fat — and then it just became an obsession.”
It wasn’t until June 2020 that Cherry decided to take advice she found from “these podcasts, from these journalists, from every person who has written about recovering from an eating disorder” and “actually put it into motion.”
“I am so glad I did,” she said. “It completely changed my life … I was going crazy over it.”
When thinking about her journey, the actress couldn’t help but get introspective.
“No one chose to be born,” she said. “We definitely did not choose to work to live, so a job is all about what kind of day can you get through.
So if somebody is out there getting through a day that you can’t get through, then just look the other way. Why spew this hatred? The world is already so hard to live in."
"Existence is already so tough," she continued. "Why spew this hatred on people just because someone is trying to get through life?”
Apr. 13, 2022 "Chloe Cherry, 24, on dating 'sugar daddies' and why she prefers seeing multiple people at the same time": Today I found this article by David Artavia on Yahoo news:
Chloe Cherry loves being single-ish.
The actress recently appeared on Bachelor alum Nick Viall’s podcast, The Viall Files, where she held nothing back about her dating life.
The breakout Euphoria star, who has been praised for her sex-positive outlook, told the host that she's currently "single but dating around" and "vibing" with about 10 different people.
“Right now I like to just see a bunch of different people [at the same time],” she explained. “I think it’s the best way to date. I think the best way for me to be a good partner is to have other partners — not that they’re necessarily my partners, just other people in my life. Unless someone actually verbalizes to me that they want to just be with me, I’m not gonna do it.”
At 24, Cherry admitted she doesn't feel like she knows yet exactly what she wants in a committed relationship so "dating multiple people has been the best thing for me to figure out what I want and don’t want from another person.”
Still, of all the people she’s dating, Cherry said there's one, in particular, she’s beginning to focus on. “There’s one of them that I really like more than the other ones, but it’s hard because I already have, like, a friendship that I formed with [the others],” she explained of her pool of suitors, adding that she’s never been the type of person who “needed” to be in a monogamous relationship.
In the past, Cherry admitted, some of her significant others included “sugar daddies,” a term used to describe a man (typically older and rich) who lavishes gifts on a young woman in return for her company. But those days are over.
“I don’t have any sugar daddies anymore. I do still talk to some of those sugar daddies as friends, but we’re just friends now. I used to have a bunch of them,” she shared.
“Having a sugar daddy is kind of like dating except you’re dating for different reasons because they are providing something for you, so you’re dating based off of what they’re providing for you.”
She went on to say that “having a sugar daddy taught me a level of acceptance of treatment,” adding,
“I will never again accept a guy that doesn’t want to at least try to take care of me in some way or be chivalrous in some way. Why would I accept that when I know it is out there? I know there are people out there that want to treat me really well.”
Cherry also spoke about her work in the adult film industry where she's appeared in more than 200 adult films and has over 125 million views on PornHub.
“I don’t know if people will comprehend that it really was just a job,” the actress said about her life as a porn star. “A good job is what kind of day you can get through. And that was way more doable a job than working at a restaurant or being a waitress or working some 9 to 5. My brain can’t handle those [jobs]. I couldn’t get through the day. In adult film, I totally could.”
Cherry previously told Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she's done with the adult film industry because her work impacted her health and personal relationships.
“The only thing that sucks about working in porn is the way that people will treat you outside of the industry,” she explained. “Just the way that, suddenly, my friends that I was friends with in high school didn’t want to be friends anymore because they thought I was going to f*** their boyfriend. It’s like, I don’t want anything to do with your boyfriend.”
She also developed an eating disorder. “It all started when this agent I had when I was in porn said to my face that I was fat,” she explained. “He said, ‘Everyone says that you’re fat and the fastest way to lose weight is by not eating.’ he said that to me and I was like, ‘What the f***?’” She's been in recovery since June 2020, which "completely changed my life."
Aug. 20, 2022 My opinion: This is good job advice: “A good job is what kind of day you can get through. "
Aug. 22, 2022: I was watching The Matrix Revisited which is the making of The Matrix.
Keanu Reeves: There's a Chinese saying: "Find a job that you like and then you don't have to work for the rest of your life."
