After a few years of saving money through feature dancing, Gauge went to school to get her certification as a surgical tech, reaching the top of her class and logging double her required hours in the process. Then an anesthesia tech recognized her, and word spread through the hospital staff that a porn star was among their ranks. “Everybody wanted me in their room, but they started treating me like shyt,” Gauge says. “They made me feel like I was contaminating everything.” By the time she was set to graduate, no one at the hospital would sign off on her required hours.

Although the hospital eventually issued Gauge an apology, she felt both wounded and perplexed by the experience. “I’m thinking, why isn’t anybody asking [the anesthesia tech] how he recognized me?” she says. “OK, so what – I’m the provider, you’re the freaking consumer. Why is what I did so much more wrong than what you did?” Hurt but still undeterred, Gauge went to criminal justice school, then to makeup artist school. When she applied for jobs, she’d be passed over in favor of someone with less experience and training; when she went to church services with her husband and teenage stepchildren, she lived in constant fear of being recognized. After eight years of this treatment, at the age of 33 she decided to return to the porn industry, announcing her comeback film with Brazzers in an interview with porn blogger and director Billy Watson.


...

Unfortunately, employee discrimination cases involving sex workers are usually “very, very difficult to win,” says adult entertainment lawyer Michael Fattorosi. Under current discrimination laws, there are no protections for former sex workers, and firing someone for their porn past is “not like saying we’re letting you go because you’re black or Jewish or you wear a turban. Those things are not a result of a life choice you make, and being a sex worker is.” An employee who, like Halas, failed to disclose a porn past on his or her résumé would be compromised even further; the employer could argue that the employee had been hired under false pretenses, leading the court to side in their favor.

:beli: People are going to blame hard childhoods and whatnot, but unless she was forced in to porn or was underage when she started doing it then I don't feel sorry for her at all. How many bad bytches have we all seen working at Mickey D's, y'all don't think THEY could go make money the easy way? If you're content making money off of it then you have to live with the stigma :yeshrug:

:heh: nah, man she put in the work. Literally and figuratively.

If she can deal with the public scrutiny of being a publicly known whore in her workplace (and taking money from the dudes who obviously knows she fukks for money) then let her cook.

when she went to church services...... she lived in constant fear of being recognized.

oh wait- she can't.

how the fukk you gonna be okay working in the PUBLIC.... but you SCARED of what CHURCH FOLKS is gonna say!? It's almost as if.... she's saying it's okay to be recognized, as long as she's getting paid! :heh:

with her husband and teenage stepchildren,

I can't even think of anything witty to say about this. Can't find a gif.

These forever victim ass bytches need to :camby:

first and foremost, if you willingly do some shyt.... that'll place potential employment opportunities in jeopardy. you need to just accept the consequences that come with it.

folks routinely lose scholarships/ job opportunities...cause there are photos of them on facebook and instagram...doing drugs, drinking liquor and doing ratchet shyt.

secondly, these "sex workers" are on some other shyt... they know the rules of the game, but wanna change them cause they don't like the way people treat them.


your personal life, is no longer personal when you've agreed to sell it or upload it for the public to see. fukk outta here reformed hoe:camby:
