And did she ever recover? 12 00:00:42,910 --> 00:00:47,250 Well, after a hundred hours of research, I discovered a twisted tale starting 13 00:00:47,250 --> 00:00:50,370 with her in a Russian orphanage, growing up Amish. 14 00:00:50,780 --> 00:00:54,820 abandoning her degree in biochemistry, and eventually ending up as an adult 15 00:00:54,820 --> 00:00:59,160 performer. And if a single one of these events didn't happen, Ms. Chechik might 16 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,800 have never wound up paralyzed at a gaming convention. 17 00:01:02,220 --> 00:01:04,319 Today, I will tell her full story. 18 00:01:04,580 --> 00:01:08,340 But before we go any further with today's video, I just want to show you 19 00:01:08,340 --> 00:01:12,760 -month -old King Charles Spaniel Rigby. The reason I'm having him here right now 20 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,080 is because he's actually the one going to do the presentation for today's 21 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,140 sponsor, The Pets Table. 22 00:01:17,530 --> 00:01:21,430 The Pets Table is a personalized pet food service brought to you by Hella 23 00:01:21,770 --> 00:01:26,130 The Pets Table offers both human -grade fresh and gently air -dried options 24 00:01:26,130 --> 00:01:30,050 directly to your home. The reason why this is so much better than traditional 25 00:01:30,050 --> 00:01:34,590 dog food is because kibble is often highly processed at high temperatures 26 00:01:34,590 --> 00:01:36,790 deplete the food's nutritional value and flavor. 27 00:01:37,090 --> 00:01:41,430 Compare that to the Pets Table, which is minimally processed at low temps. This 28 00:01:41,430 --> 00:01:45,490 maintains naturally occurring flavors and nutrients like protein, vitamins, 29 00:01:45,490 --> 00:01:46,490 antioxidants. 30 00:01:46,650 --> 00:01:49,690 And I know you're going to question how much it costs, but the truth is that 31 00:01:49,690 --> 00:01:53,970 their air -dried plan is actually 40 % more affordable than most freshly frozen 32 00:01:53,970 --> 00:01:57,430 options. Plus, it's shelf -stable and requires zero prep. 33 00:01:57,650 --> 00:02:01,890 Each plan is catered specifically to your dog's needs, providing a complete 34 00:02:01,890 --> 00:02:07,090 balanced diet to support gut health, immunity, vision, healthy skin, and 35 00:02:07,250 --> 00:02:09,009 and an overall active lifestyle. 36 00:02:09,310 --> 00:02:12,410 From what I can tell, my dog absolutely loves the food himself. 37 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,900 Get 55 % off your first box, plus 20 % off your second. 38 00:02:17,140 --> 00:02:23,160 Just click the link down below or go to thepetstable .com and use code TGFM55. 39 00:02:23,740 --> 00:02:27,340 That's thepetstable .com, code TGFM55. 40 00:02:29,540 --> 00:02:35,860 Adriana Chechik was born as Desiree Christina Charles on November 4th, 1991 41 00:02:35,860 --> 00:02:40,120 Russia, during the collapse of the Soviet Union, where she grew up in an 42 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,080 orphanage until she was 8 months old. 43 00:02:58,410 --> 00:03:03,670 Her adopted father took her from Russia to Downington, PA, a small community 44 00:03:03,670 --> 00:03:04,990 just outside of Philadelphia. 45 00:03:05,370 --> 00:03:09,230 At first, her adopted parents attempted to raise her, but eventually their 46 00:03:09,230 --> 00:03:11,530 marriage fell apart when Adriana was 11. 47 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,980 Her adopted mother was a former model for Playboy, and her father eventually 48 00:03:15,980 --> 00:03:20,000 gave up his job traveling and opened up a local pest control business. 49 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,220 When the couple split, Adriana was claimed by neither guardian and landed 50 00:03:25,220 --> 00:03:26,059 foster care. 51 00:03:26,060 --> 00:03:30,480 She would then grow up in the small community, seeing the man who had 52 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,220 her around town, but would be ignored by him. 53 00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:37,020 I honestly, people like to say, well, you have daddy issues. You didn't have a 54 00:03:37,020 --> 00:03:40,700 dad. I'm like, no, I didn't have a dad. So I didn't have daddy issues. 55 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,740 Her mother, on the other hand, would attempt to get custody of Adriana, but 56 00:03:44,740 --> 00:03:46,700 struggled to provide a stable environment. 57 00:03:47,140 --> 00:03:50,900 She was a drug addict and was frequently locked away in mental hospitals. 58 00:03:51,140 --> 00:03:55,120 The young girl would spend the majority of her childhood bouncing around to 59 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,160 different foster houses. 60 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,900 While with these families, she endured being physically abused, neglected, and 61 00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:02,500 often used for free labor. 62 00:04:02,890 --> 00:04:06,550 I hated even being in a room with kids because I would be forced to stay home 63 00:04:06,550 --> 00:04:10,410 from school to watch all these other kids, these random kids in foster care 64 00:04:10,410 --> 00:04:13,190 the time. Sure. To where I was just like, it was insane. 65 00:04:13,570 --> 00:04:17,490 When she reached middle school, she was reunited with her mother, which turned 66 00:04:17,490 --> 00:04:22,450 out to be extremely traumatizing. I even used to sit in strip clubs with the 67 00:04:22,450 --> 00:04:23,970 house mom so she would dance. 68 00:04:24,810 --> 00:04:30,130 And I think being around all of that sex actually worked against me. Instead of 69 00:04:30,130 --> 00:04:34,270 making it more knowledgeable, it made me fearful to the point where I was like, 70 00:04:34,330 --> 00:04:37,750 I don't want to be like this and I don't want to do these type of things. 71 00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:42,210 Eventually, her mother lost custody of her daughter once again, but that 72 00:04:42,210 --> 00:04:45,770 wouldn't stop her from having eight other children, all with the different 73 00:04:45,770 --> 00:04:49,550 fathers. This isn't to say all of her childhood was miserable. 74 00:04:49,980 --> 00:04:53,240 Some of the families that took care of her were part of the Amish community. 75 00:04:53,540 --> 00:04:57,780 It was there that she experienced a structured family unit for the first 76 00:04:57,780 --> 00:05:01,140 that taught her proper hygiene such as brushing her hair and teeth. 77 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,120 She enjoyed the Mennonites so much that the young girl would purposefully get 78 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,060 into trouble so that they would send her to their farm which was supposed to be 79 00:05:09,060 --> 00:05:10,059 a punishment. 80 00:05:10,060 --> 00:05:14,420 In school, she participated in band, cheerleading, track, and soccer, which 81 00:05:14,420 --> 00:05:18,700 created her competitive drive. Although her grades were not bad, she ended up 82 00:05:18,700 --> 00:05:23,180 dropping out of high school, getting her GED, and working at Applebee's. Despite 83 00:05:23,180 --> 00:05:27,020 her harsh upbringing, the young woman was doing well for herself and developed 84 00:05:27,020 --> 00:05:28,020 strict morals. 85 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,940 Adriana believed in God, attended church, and had a deep belief in 86 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,400 I'd button it all the way up here, and I'd get mad at my girlfriends who would 87 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,620 unbutton two buttons. 88 00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:41,520 Because I would just be like, no one deserves to see your chest. Like, that's 89 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,020 the Lord's spot. Like, it's insane. 90 00:05:44,540 --> 00:05:49,620 Right. However, all this changed when she was 18 and developed an attraction 91 00:05:49,620 --> 00:05:50,880 her friend's older brother. 92 00:05:51,140 --> 00:05:55,560 Her schoolmate was gung -ho for the affair and oddly took naked pictures of 93 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,420 Adriana to send to her brother. 94 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:02,320 The young man was 23 at the time and had known Adriana since she was only five. 95 00:06:02,810 --> 00:06:07,190 Impressed with the pics his siblings sent, the man then texted the teen and 96 00:06:07,190 --> 00:06:11,510 decided to hook up under the context that Adriana claimed to have slept with 97 00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:15,810 many other men and deeply enjoyed activities such as sodomy despite 98 00:06:15,810 --> 00:06:16,810 being a virgin. 99 00:06:16,930 --> 00:06:20,110 Her friend's brother then invited the teen over to hook up. 100 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,540 And then he put it in my ass before anything else. 101 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,300 Wow. After this rough deflowering, the young woman broke down and cried, 102 00:06:29,580 --> 00:06:33,360 admitting that she was a virgin to the brother who was horrified. 103 00:06:33,740 --> 00:06:38,840 Oddly enough, Adriana reflects positively on this experience and went 104 00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:41,500 sleep with this man's best friend six days later. 105 00:06:41,780 --> 00:06:46,340 It's weird because I fucked his friend only because he went back and banged his 106 00:06:46,340 --> 00:06:50,140 ex -girlfriend while I was there and I just got so pissed. I was like, well, 107 00:06:50,180 --> 00:06:51,820 fuck it, I'm going to get my rocks off. 108 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,620 She would then reunite with her friend's brother and attend the same college, 109 00:06:55,740 --> 00:06:56,740 Drexel University. 110 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,560 studying biochemical engineering together. 111 00:06:59,820 --> 00:07:03,680 Things started to go downhill for the couple when the young woman took a job 112 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,120 working at a restaurant similar to Hooters. 113 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:15,800 This upset her boyfriend, 114 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,240 who felt she wasn't giving him enough attention since she was so busy with 115 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,039 and school. 116 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,000 Despite claiming that the cheating was her fault, the two soon split when 117 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,160 Adriana was 21. 118 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,680 At this point, she had befriended several strippers who began working as 119 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,660 cocktail waitresses at the local club. 120 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,860 Being in this environment every night, she was suddenly drawn to the quick 121 00:07:36,860 --> 00:07:37,860 and party lifestyle. 122 00:07:38,340 --> 00:07:42,940 Ms. Chechik was clearly tired of the long hours of studying and suddenly felt 123 00:07:42,940 --> 00:07:45,100 very free after ending her relationship. 124 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,360 The young girl wanted to try new things and get revenge on her ex -boyfriend, 125 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,040 who she viewed as holding her back sexually. 126 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,980 She wanted to make a drastic change in her life and discover her true self. 127 00:07:57,260 --> 00:08:01,540 Because of this, after two years at Drexel, Adriana dropped out to pursue 128 00:08:01,540 --> 00:08:03,360 stripping full -time in 2011. 129 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,520 And then I started dancing and I said, you know, go back to school later, let's 130 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:09,520 have some fun now. 131 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,080 She then traveled around the U .S. to different clubs before landing in Miami, 132 00:08:14,260 --> 00:08:16,660 Florida at the famous Scarlett's Cabaret. 133 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,700 There she worked non -stop, drinking and taking drugs nearly every night in a 134 00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:22,700 constant bender. 135 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,520 Adriana loved the club atmosphere and found she had a talent for getting 136 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,260 customers to spend money on her. 137 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:43,299 And one night, she made $7 ,200, admitting to some unethical ways of 138 00:08:43,299 --> 00:08:45,040 these men to open their wallets. 139 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,800 So I give them Molly, and then they'd just be so happy. I wouldn't have to get 140 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,480 naked or even steal anything. They're just like, wow, everything's so 141 00:08:53,580 --> 00:08:55,700 You look so nice tonight. Here's all this money. 142 00:08:56,060 --> 00:08:58,940 Unfortunately, this lifestyle began to take a toll. 143 00:08:59,290 --> 00:09:03,210 She explained how some nights the club would essentially sell the dancers for 144 00:09:03,210 --> 00:09:04,210 illegal services. 145 00:09:04,290 --> 00:09:07,730 But Adriana doesn't blame the establishment for this practice. 146 00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:11,810 What's the worst thing that ever happened to me is me getting for hours 147 00:09:11,810 --> 00:09:15,090 some guy's like partying and I was just like, well, I'm over this, but still 148 00:09:15,090 --> 00:09:18,810 doing it. But that's not because they sold me to this guy. It's because I was 149 00:09:18,810 --> 00:09:19,810 too weak to say no. 150 00:09:20,090 --> 00:09:24,710 Beyond this, she never saw the sun and began to experience depression due to 151 00:09:24,710 --> 00:09:25,810 terrible sleep schedule. 152 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,540 Still, this didn't motivate her to change her ways until Christmas of 2012. 153 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:36,780 And we were out of cocaine and we were like looking through her trash can for 154 00:09:36,780 --> 00:09:38,240 bags to lick them. 155 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:43,640 Wow. And I just remember being like, is this the person I want to be in 10 156 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,340 years? This was a wake -up call for the stripper. Adriana wanted to find a more 157 00:09:48,340 --> 00:09:52,200 stable way of living while still earning enough money to keep up her lifestyle. 158 00:09:52,830 --> 00:09:57,430 Also around this time, she frequently attended group sex parties where friends 159 00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:59,850 of hers introduced her to an adult film director. 160 00:10:00,250 --> 00:10:05,090 At first, she hadn't taken his offer to get into X -rated movies seriously, but 161 00:10:05,090 --> 00:10:09,290 after the events of Christmas, she decided to give him a call. This chat 162 00:10:09,290 --> 00:10:12,450 well, and he invited her to come into the studio immediately. 163 00:10:13,219 --> 00:10:17,720 Adriana figured since she had no family, there would be no one to disappoint if 164 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,120 she went through with the deed. 165 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,000 I've always really thought out my decisions. 166 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:26,840 Yeah. Even if I've acted crazy or made the wrong decisions, I still thought 167 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,140 out. I knew what I was doing. I've always known what I was doing. In 168 00:10:30,140 --> 00:10:34,860 2013, the young woman showed up to sets without a stage name. It was then she 169 00:10:34,860 --> 00:10:36,800 settled on Adriana Chechik. 170 00:10:37,150 --> 00:10:40,950 She took the last name from a horror movie director and decided on the first 171 00:10:40,950 --> 00:10:45,350 name Adriana because of it starting with the letter A, meaning her name was 172 00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:47,930 always at the top of the adult star casting list. 173 00:10:48,250 --> 00:10:52,430 Adriana was terrified when the director explained that her first scene would be 174 00:10:52,430 --> 00:10:57,570 with both a man and a woman. Despite going to sex parties, she had somehow 175 00:10:57,570 --> 00:11:01,550 been sexual with a woman before and worried about being a bad performer. 176 00:11:02,140 --> 00:11:04,980 The director actually had to stop me and be like, are you okay? 177 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,400 Because I was trying to take sex stills, but I was like shaking during the sex 178 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,140 stills. As it turned out, the new adult star had nothing to worry about. 179 00:11:13,380 --> 00:11:18,060 The scene was received well in the community and Adriana was booked out for 180 00:11:18,060 --> 00:11:20,400 months, which is unheard of for new talent. 181 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,240 Ms. Chechik claims to have no longer felt depressed after she started this 182 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,620 employment, treating it like a typical 9 -5. 183 00:11:27,980 --> 00:11:31,900 She also had to give up doing drugs since it negatively impacted her 184 00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:36,620 performance. In a way, I think helped save my life and put me on a good 185 00:11:36,620 --> 00:11:40,340 structure because my mother was addicted to drugs, is addicted to drugs. 186 00:11:40,940 --> 00:11:45,660 People from my family are addicted to drugs, and I'm the only one that's not. 187 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,620 Early on, directors in the industry saw the young woman's star power and began 188 00:11:50,620 --> 00:11:53,620 to personally train her to do intense scenes. 189 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,640 It was at this point she signed with the top company after only a few months in 190 00:11:58,640 --> 00:11:59,379 the space. 191 00:11:59,380 --> 00:12:03,380 While she accepted instruction, she refused to live at her manager's house. 192 00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:07,760 Because Adriana had made money from being a stripper, she had her own 193 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,020 and car and didn't need to be taken care of by this man. 194 00:12:11,340 --> 00:12:15,000 And this guy was trying to make everybody stay in his house. 195 00:12:15,310 --> 00:12:18,310 But he wanted everybody, you had chores when you stayed there, so you had to pay 196 00:12:18,310 --> 00:12:19,049 $1 ,000. 197 00:12:19,050 --> 00:12:21,610 The more I looked at it, I was like, this is like a very like kind of like 198 00:12:21,610 --> 00:12:22,610 pimping thing. 199 00:12:22,770 --> 00:12:26,430 While her agent claimed to be looking out for her, this turned out not to be 200 00:12:26,430 --> 00:12:28,070 case when it came to her rates. 201 00:12:28,390 --> 00:12:32,130 As Adriana soon learned, she was being severely underpaid. 202 00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:37,330 And when I went to my new agent, he was like, you know, you're a great, great 203 00:12:37,330 --> 00:12:40,830 talent, but like it's really unheard of to be booked out that so far in advance 204 00:12:40,830 --> 00:12:42,750 because I was doing boy girls for $600. 205 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,020 Around the time of getting a new manager, Adriana decided she wanted to 206 00:12:48,020 --> 00:12:49,200 into new genres. 207 00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:59,040 Despite this, she ended up performing these 208 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,200 acts and wondered what else she could do to get more attention. 209 00:13:02,580 --> 00:13:07,520 After much training and not even a year in her career, Adriana made U .S. 210 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,740 history as the first American to perform 211 00:13:10,830 --> 00:13:13,010 How do I put this without getting banned on YouTube? 212 00:13:13,650 --> 00:13:15,550 Triple rectum penetration. 213 00:13:16,010 --> 00:13:17,010 Yeah, that works. 214 00:13:19,550 --> 00:13:20,970 I had sex with 42 people. 215 00:13:21,310 --> 00:13:25,970 These extreme feats caused a stir in the adult community, and many other female 216 00:13:25,970 --> 00:13:30,010 performers began to feel threatened by Adriana's grand plans. 217 00:13:30,530 --> 00:13:32,870 My main competitor was Bonnie Run. 218 00:13:33,110 --> 00:13:35,810 Right, and she pushed you? She was similarly motivated? 219 00:13:36,150 --> 00:13:40,290 Oh, she was so bitchy to me. Yeah, because she started dancing with my same 220 00:13:40,290 --> 00:13:44,770 agency, and before he would take her on, she had to say she was sorry to me 221 00:13:44,770 --> 00:13:49,540 because she actually called me a whore and all these bad names in public. In 222 00:13:49,540 --> 00:13:54,320 2014, she launched her website to generate more income and worked hard to 223 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,320 up different ways to make herself relevant. 224 00:13:56,540 --> 00:14:01,060 You see, despite enjoying work in the industry for stability, the pay was 225 00:14:01,060 --> 00:14:02,140 significantly lower. 226 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,880 Because I was too busy trying to make it and even at the same time I was being 227 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,140 controlled by pimps or I was stuck in my f***ing car. 228 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,760 There was so many crazy s*** that happened. The performer even admitted 229 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,900 early on she made more money stripping than in her first three years of adult 230 00:14:16,900 --> 00:14:21,500 work. It became very clear to the starlet that she was going to have to 231 00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:26,080 very hard to become a well -known name, and felt the best way to do this was to 232 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,560 create diehard fans. 233 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,500 One of the reasons she created such loyal followers was due to her 234 00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:34,220 to sleep with fans on occasion. 235 00:14:34,540 --> 00:14:38,720 She even made adult news headlines for admitting to finding men to sleep with 236 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,280 off of Reddit and Craigslist. 237 00:14:47,180 --> 00:14:51,440 As if sleeping with Redditors wasn't disgusting enough, she drew massive 238 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,160 attention to herself following an interview on the Howard Stern Show. 239 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,760 There, Adriana shared a story leaving many disturbed. 240 00:14:59,180 --> 00:15:03,580 You see, Ms. Chechik explained that at one point in her childhood, she lived 241 00:15:03,580 --> 00:15:05,320 with a man who was dating her mother. 242 00:15:05,580 --> 00:15:10,200 And despite whatever falling out he had with Adriana's parents, the man still 243 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,580 stayed in touch with the young woman throughout the years. 244 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,340 He was like so kind, so nice to me. Like honestly, I don't think it was ever 245 00:15:17,340 --> 00:15:18,560 perverse on his part. 246 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,140 He just wanted to be a dad and be a nice guy. 247 00:15:22,380 --> 00:15:27,240 Later, when Adriana entered the adult space, he messaged her saying he was 248 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,880 the young woman was doing something he enjoyed. 249 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,080 They then discovered they were both living nearby each other in Florida and 250 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,080 he was actually running for mayor in the town he lived in. This is when he 251 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,560 invited her out to dinner. 252 00:15:40,010 --> 00:15:43,270 So it wasn't necessarily like, oh, I thought he was hot. I want to fuck him. 253 00:15:43,270 --> 00:15:47,810 was more like, wow, look at this strong man who's so kind and so nice to me. 254 00:15:48,170 --> 00:15:52,130 Adriana still felt the same attraction to this man that she had when she was 255 00:15:52,130 --> 00:15:54,810 younger and invited him to her hotel room. 256 00:15:55,130 --> 00:15:57,530 After dinner, we went back to my hotel room. 257 00:15:58,190 --> 00:16:01,710 and hung out and he was just like joking around like let me put your hair up 258 00:16:01,710 --> 00:16:06,550 like i did when you were younger and he started brushing my hair and and put it 259 00:16:06,550 --> 00:16:13,050 in a ponytail and one thing led to another and we did have sex following 260 00:16:13,050 --> 00:16:18,070 event the man took a selfie with her and sent it to news outlets because he 261 00:16:18,070 --> 00:16:22,870 somehow thought it would be good press for his political campaign This odd 262 00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:27,350 doesn't seem to creep out the adult star like it has the millions who have heard 263 00:16:27,350 --> 00:16:33,010 the anecdotes. On top of this, the story doesn't fully add up. For starters, I 264 00:16:33,010 --> 00:16:37,090 can't find any picture of her with this man. She never lists his name or 265 00:16:37,090 --> 00:16:39,310 anything connecting her to a mayoral race. 266 00:16:39,590 --> 00:16:44,630 Then she also consistently calls this secret individual her foster father, 267 00:16:44,630 --> 00:16:48,890 just isn't accurate as he didn't run a foster home, but rather was just dating 268 00:16:48,890 --> 00:16:49,930 her mother at the time. 269 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,560 And lastly, the dates of her knowing this man switch depending on the year 270 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,540 tells the story, making it all very convoluted. I know I don't have enough 271 00:16:59,540 --> 00:17:01,900 to actually question the validity of this story. 272 00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:06,099 Maybe it's just so degenerate I'm clinging on to the idea that she made it 273 00:17:06,099 --> 00:17:10,560 for attention, but regardless, Adriana's popularity rose from this bizarre 274 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,339 account, going somewhat viral. 275 00:17:12,900 --> 00:17:17,859 Skipping forward to 2016, things were going well for the adult star, but she 276 00:17:17,859 --> 00:17:19,339 still wasn't satisfied. 277 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,520 Every year, Adriana attended the AVN Awards, hoping to win Performer of the 278 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,119 Year, and each of these times, she left disappointed. 279 00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:31,600 Okay, so surely this year, Performer of the Year, right? Surely. 280 00:17:32,340 --> 00:17:35,260 I would love to say surely, but... 281 00:17:35,830 --> 00:17:39,190 I don't mind being underrated because I'm still getting paid. 282 00:17:39,430 --> 00:17:44,250 She did everything in her power to be the best, even making physical 283 00:17:44,250 --> 00:17:49,170 such as shaving down her back teeth in order to perform better orals. The woman 284 00:17:49,170 --> 00:17:53,510 went so far as to refuse medical advice from her doctors following a neck 285 00:17:53,510 --> 00:17:57,850 injury. My orthopedic surgeon, I was telling him like, hey, I really need you 286 00:17:57,850 --> 00:18:01,560 to... Do some ultrasounds, you know, like break down the scar tissue. 287 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,820 Unlike the other performers, Adriana loved to take risks while on set. She 288 00:18:06,820 --> 00:18:09,800 crafted a position she coined the Adriana move. 289 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,780 By continuing to do this, she would later have to undergo a neck surgery and 290 00:18:14,780 --> 00:18:16,360 have pain for years to come. 291 00:18:16,780 --> 00:18:21,860 Sadly, despite all of these sacrifices, Adriana did not win Performer of the 292 00:18:21,860 --> 00:18:22,860 Year yet again. 293 00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:27,630 Frustrated and hurt, the woman soon realized that these awards weren't 294 00:18:27,630 --> 00:18:29,630 based off of merit or votes. 295 00:18:29,930 --> 00:18:36,070 I got bypassed being performer of the year because I was with an agent that 296 00:18:36,070 --> 00:18:41,730 nobody liked. And I'll tell you the truth about AVN. You can buy these 297 00:18:41,970 --> 00:18:43,250 Oh, wow. That's politics. 298 00:18:44,190 --> 00:18:48,910 Even worse, the company Adriana worked under, LA Direct Models, along with her 299 00:18:48,910 --> 00:18:53,350 agent, Derek Hay, had ruined several relationships within the adult 300 00:18:53,590 --> 00:18:57,430 and many directors avoided this company because of the bad blood. 301 00:18:57,690 --> 00:19:02,250 This meant that Adriana was often not booked because of things she had nothing 302 00:19:02,250 --> 00:19:03,129 to do with. 303 00:19:03,130 --> 00:19:06,630 I would show up to set five minutes before getting ready to fuck, and they 304 00:19:06,630 --> 00:19:12,050 be like, oh my god, we hate your agent. We're only hiring you because you're so 305 00:19:12,050 --> 00:19:15,980 good at your job, but like... You'd be so much better without him. I would just 306 00:19:15,980 --> 00:19:19,940 like to point out that Dara Kay would later be accused of sex trafficking in 307 00:19:19,940 --> 00:19:24,520 2020, before taking a plea deal involving perjury and being sentenced to 308 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:25,519 months in jail. 309 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:30,080 Anyway, because of these circumstances, Adriana did not win Performer of the 310 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,940 Year, and new girls began outpacing her. 311 00:19:33,140 --> 00:19:36,480 She began to feel jealous of the attention they were receiving. 312 00:19:37,050 --> 00:19:41,710 The biggest example of this was an up -and -coming star named Lana Rhodes, who 313 00:19:41,710 --> 00:19:46,190 signed with Adriana's agency and the woman was annoyed to learn that she was 314 00:19:46,190 --> 00:19:48,230 expected to collaborate with Miss Rhodes. 315 00:19:48,490 --> 00:19:53,210 At the time, Miss Chechik, along with other female performers, decided to 316 00:19:53,210 --> 00:19:55,290 dislike Lana because she was a vegan. 317 00:19:55,570 --> 00:20:00,170 Things hit their boiling point when the LA Direct models all attended the 2017 318 00:20:00,170 --> 00:20:02,390 AVN Awards ceremony in Florida. 319 00:20:02,890 --> 00:20:07,230 Adriana was yet again nominated for performer of the year but shrugged it 320 00:20:07,230 --> 00:20:12,250 feeling like she was unlikely to win so she wore a cheap outfit and decided to 321 00:20:12,250 --> 00:20:13,249 just have fun. 322 00:20:13,250 --> 00:20:18,190 To her disbelief though she actually won and received a standing ovation from 323 00:20:18,190 --> 00:20:19,190 her co -workers. 324 00:20:19,250 --> 00:20:22,490 Adriana left the awards ceremony proud of the achievement. 325 00:20:22,770 --> 00:20:27,270 Some outlets even reported that Vladimir Putin weighed in on the adult star's 326 00:20:27,270 --> 00:20:29,670 success crediting it to her Russian descent. 327 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,620 That night she drove home with Derek Hay and a few of the other performers. 328 00:20:33,940 --> 00:20:38,400 While many of them were happy for Adriana, Lana sat in the back of the 329 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,240 crying. When asked what was wrong, Miss Rhodes broke down entirely. 330 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,200 You might remember this anecdote from my retrospective on Lana Rhodes, but back 331 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,300 then I didn't have the full story yet since it was extremely convoluted and 332 00:20:51,300 --> 00:20:52,300 poorly documented. 333 00:20:52,380 --> 00:20:57,420 That is until I stumbled across a podcast of Adriana telling her side of 334 00:20:57,900 --> 00:21:03,360 so are you guys friends now or did you ever like uh me and loner are okay we 335 00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:08,560 actually get into uh well she she beat me up i didn't attack her back what um 336 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,700 yeah she didn't mean to attack me she meant to attack another girl in the car 337 00:21:12,700 --> 00:21:18,140 and i was the mediator so she just like literally like went crazy grabbed my 338 00:21:18,140 --> 00:21:22,060 neck tried to choke me and then my agent cop got her and pulled her off of me 339 00:21:22,060 --> 00:21:23,220 said all these crazy scratches 340 00:21:23,930 --> 00:21:28,270 Once they managed to separate the two girls, Lana ran out of the car screaming 341 00:21:28,270 --> 00:21:32,850 that she wanted to end her life and jumped into the alligator -infested bay. 342 00:21:33,130 --> 00:21:37,710 The police were then called to arrest Lana but wanted to interview Adriana 343 00:21:37,710 --> 00:21:38,710 what happened. 344 00:21:38,730 --> 00:21:44,210 As it turns out, after doing cocaine for moral support, Adriana tried her best 345 00:21:44,210 --> 00:21:46,250 to explain the skirmish to the police. 346 00:21:46,530 --> 00:21:50,830 The next day, Ms. Chechik took to Twitter sharing the events with her 347 00:21:51,340 --> 00:21:56,520 What you see and believe to be true is not who she is. She has physically 348 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,480 me and emotionally caused distress. 349 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,640 The other performers that were in the car rushed to Adriana's defense. 350 00:22:02,940 --> 00:22:08,380 After last night, everyone should know that yes, Lana Rhodes did attack Adriana 351 00:22:08,380 --> 00:22:11,980 Cechik after her temper tantrum for not winning an award. 352 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,520 And yes, Lana Rhodes is on drugs. 353 00:22:14,740 --> 00:22:18,720 She asked for multiple drugs, including heroin, over the weekend. 354 00:22:19,260 --> 00:22:21,740 This is not a rumor. This is the truth. 355 00:22:22,060 --> 00:22:26,660 These events would result in Lana being dropped from LA Direct Models. Though to 356 00:22:26,660 --> 00:22:28,760 this day, Lana stands by her innocence. 357 00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:30,320 She was never punched. 358 00:22:30,620 --> 00:22:31,900 I was never arrested. 359 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:37,020 The police only came because I fell into the Tampa Bay and they took me to the 360 00:22:37,020 --> 00:22:42,040 emergency room. I don't drink hard alcohol and I took shots to be able to 361 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,320 stage because I'm shy. 362 00:22:43,620 --> 00:22:46,420 I didn't know how much you are supposed to drink. 363 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,520 No one believed Lana's sob story, especially other adult performers such 364 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:56,900 Abigail Lee tweeting at Lana, All that glitter ain't gold, bitch. For years 365 00:22:56,900 --> 00:23:01,760 following, the two publicly hated each other, but as she got older, Adriana 366 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,240 decided to be the bigger person and reached out to apologize for how she 367 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,780 Lana and they made amends. 368 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:13,240 While Adriana would be able to mend relationships following mean tweets, she 369 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:18,320 would not get this chance with fellow adult star August Ames. Many allege that 370 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,780 Adriana made August's life a living hell before she took her own life. 371 00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:27,760 As the story goes, she publicly tweeted at Ms. Ames, calling her homophobic for 372 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,760 refusing to work with gay performers because they have a higher chance of 373 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:32,860 HIV positive. 374 00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:35,300 No, he's tested just like everyone else. 375 00:23:35,540 --> 00:23:38,440 If you're tested and clean, no need to discriminate. 376 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:43,340 You can, however, say no to someone if you wish. But to say it's due to testing 377 00:23:43,340 --> 00:23:44,039 is a lie. 378 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,040 If you believe that person is doing something off camera, then agree 379 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,260 It's just hate. 380 00:23:49,690 --> 00:23:54,350 Adriana's fans soon joined the dogpile against August Ames, who was already 381 00:23:54,350 --> 00:23:57,910 facing a large hate mob over her comments from other groups. 382 00:23:58,170 --> 00:24:01,650 This would soon lead to the 23 -year -old taking her own life. 383 00:24:01,870 --> 00:24:05,670 This event, along with another controversial tweet from Adriana where 384 00:24:05,670 --> 00:24:09,870 the observation that it's only rape if you bitch about it, caused her immense 385 00:24:09,870 --> 00:24:14,750 backlash. While these controversies didn't stop Chechik from getting work, 386 00:24:14,750 --> 00:24:17,470 rough demeanor did have an impact on her career. 387 00:24:17,870 --> 00:24:22,970 You see, Adriana was deemed so hardcore that many male performers outright 388 00:24:22,970 --> 00:24:24,950 refused to be on set with her. 389 00:24:25,210 --> 00:24:29,990 I always vouch for this because people, even with him, some girls wouldn't want 390 00:24:29,990 --> 00:24:34,270 to work with me. Or they would be like, oh, you're too crazy. You do unprotected 391 00:24:34,270 --> 00:24:37,110 stuff. Instead of toning down her act, she embraced it. 392 00:24:37,330 --> 00:24:42,270 Going on to urinate in public puts toys inside herself at Dave & Buster's, as 393 00:24:42,270 --> 00:24:44,150 well as circulating on an escalator. 394 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,280 I imagine a lot was censored in that sentence, but you get the idea. 395 00:24:48,540 --> 00:24:53,460 While in the moment this was free publicity, it had long -term 396 00:24:53,460 --> 00:24:56,720 mainstream brands didn't want to be associated with her. 397 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,780 If I could take anything back in my career, it'd be the public actions that 398 00:25:00,780 --> 00:25:02,540 did that weren't for companies. 399 00:25:02,780 --> 00:25:07,480 What I realize now is those moments are actually hindering me from... 400 00:25:08,970 --> 00:25:12,910 average society wanting to work with me because they only see me in that light. 401 00:25:13,150 --> 00:25:17,270 With more eyes on the adult star than ever before, she would go on to make an 402 00:25:17,270 --> 00:25:21,190 appearance on Adam 22's podcast, No Jumper, in 2019. 403 00:25:21,650 --> 00:25:25,710 There, she revealed that the now 28 -year -old had a boyfriend since 2013, 404 00:25:26,130 --> 00:25:30,850 meaning Adriana had a partner since she started in the adult industry, despite 405 00:25:30,850 --> 00:25:32,390 claiming she wasn't dating. 406 00:25:32,610 --> 00:25:34,930 I didn't date anybody my first five years of 407 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,900 who worked as a computer programmer had a very unique take on Adriana's career 408 00:25:42,900 --> 00:25:47,360 choice. I have a boyfriend who's like, if you're the best, then we'll stay 409 00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:48,219 together forever. 410 00:25:48,220 --> 00:25:52,840 Through my research, I discovered she did reference him during an interview 411 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:58,160 adult director Pierre Woodman in 2015, describing her boyfriend's sexual 412 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,800 preferences. No, he likes it. He's a voyeur, so he wants to watch. 413 00:26:03,180 --> 00:26:06,940 So I had my massage for 45 minutes and then I started getting... 414 00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:11,180 And then I ended up having a DP with my boyfriend in this random suit. 415 00:26:11,660 --> 00:26:15,820 Off topic, but this Woodman guy would later be accused of sexual assault and 416 00:26:15,820 --> 00:26:19,780 trafficking. Lana Rhodes also despised this director, but at the time was 417 00:26:19,780 --> 00:26:24,100 ignored following her fight with Adriana. Anyway, Adriana's literal cuck 418 00:26:24,100 --> 00:26:28,760 boyfriend would be very active in her career, often attending sets with her 419 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,820 giving male performers Viagra before they had sexual intercourse with his 420 00:26:32,820 --> 00:26:37,220 girlfriend. While Ms. Chechik had been supportive of dating a much older man 421 00:26:37,220 --> 00:26:42,200 having an open relationship, she more recently has condemned this individual 422 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,580 his treatment towards her. 423 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,940 I felt like he was conversationally manipulating me. 424 00:26:48,340 --> 00:26:52,940 Adriana claimed that he would give her drugs such as Adderall and Molly, while 425 00:26:52,940 --> 00:26:54,940 also constantly calling her fat. 426 00:26:55,220 --> 00:26:59,680 The adult star believes that due to their 20 -year age gap, he was too 427 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,540 controlling. Like a lot of the times I went to shoot just because he would tell 428 00:27:03,540 --> 00:27:04,540 me to shoot. 429 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:09,920 And looking back on it, like there was no reason for me to be shooting 25 sex 430 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:14,180 scenes a month. She even went so far as to claim he pushed her to perform sexual 431 00:27:14,180 --> 00:27:17,980 acts that she wasn't comfortable with because it was his fantasy. 432 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,840 This man was very active in the swinger community and would often bring Adriana 433 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,780 around his older swinging friends, where she would engage in off -camera 434 00:27:26,780 --> 00:27:31,840 parties. Despite her ending things in 2020, the separation impacted the now 435 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:36,860 almost 30 year old. She began to increase her Adderall dependence by 436 00:27:36,860 --> 00:27:38,720 milligrams every day. 437 00:27:38,980 --> 00:27:42,780 When this didn't solve her problems, she decided to take mushrooms. 438 00:27:43,630 --> 00:27:47,950 Unfortunately, this ate away at her mental health as she began to lose grip 439 00:27:47,950 --> 00:27:53,390 reality. That really sent me into a loop. I actually went and I was stuck in 440 00:27:53,390 --> 00:27:55,410 mental hospital for like seven days. 441 00:27:55,810 --> 00:28:00,090 While at this facility, she was forced to share a room with a woman who was a 442 00:28:00,090 --> 00:28:04,550 chronic masturbator. While the adult star believes that it was beneficial to 443 00:28:04,550 --> 00:28:08,410 up in the psychiatric ward, she was afraid for her safety and began 444 00:28:08,410 --> 00:28:13,580 hallucinating. Following this hospitalization, Adriana put a pause on 445 00:28:13,580 --> 00:28:16,860 adult content and sought out help from a psychiatrist. 446 00:28:17,380 --> 00:28:21,660 I had a psychiatrist who was trying to tell me I had dissociative disorder and 447 00:28:21,660 --> 00:28:25,860 possibly multiple personalities, but she was also taking like four grand a month 448 00:28:25,860 --> 00:28:26,459 from me. 449 00:28:26,460 --> 00:28:30,660 She quit seeing this professional, but didn't stop her search for better 450 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:35,160 This is when she discovered a hormone imbalance and addressed her neck problem 451 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,940 as she finally gave her body a break from filming intense scenes. 452 00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:42,200 I have a really f***ed up neck now. I have a pinched nerve. 453 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:43,960 Like a wrestler. 454 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:51,100 And yeah, my C6 and C7 are out of place, disc slipped, and then 455 00:28:51,100 --> 00:28:53,760 my brain stem actually comes out of pocket a little bit. 456 00:28:54,020 --> 00:28:58,360 While still healing her body and soul, Adriana ended up getting neck and back 457 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,200 surgery after injuring herself on a trampoline. 458 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,160 And I need to be clear that this is different from the foam pit incident. 459 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,420 be getting to that soon. The biggest eyebrow raiser from this incident was 460 00:29:09,420 --> 00:29:13,620 while already under the knife from the fall, she decided to get breast 461 00:29:13,860 --> 00:29:17,040 which upset many fans who loved her natural look. 462 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,720 With no company to shoot with during the healing process, she started living 463 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,400 with her friend and fellow adult star, Megan Reign. 464 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:29,420 The two agreed to make content together for OnlyFans and Adriana claims that 465 00:29:29,420 --> 00:29:32,120 they grew so close that they were essentially dating. 466 00:29:32,460 --> 00:29:37,060 It was also around this time that Adriana began streaming on the gaming 467 00:29:37,060 --> 00:29:39,240 softcore camgirl site Twitch. 468 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:44,320 The adult star claims to have always loved video games and had no idea she 469 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,660 generate a huge following playing them live. 470 00:29:46,980 --> 00:29:51,140 Other streamers such as Aiden Ross capitalized on Adriana's popularity. 471 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:56,220 He invited her onto a dating show with Andrew Tate, and while he expected 472 00:29:56,220 --> 00:29:58,720 to go poorly, the two actually hit it off. 473 00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:01,880 In 474 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:08,480 fact, 475 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:13,540 Adriana seemed to like Andrew so much that she lied about her relationship to 476 00:30:13,540 --> 00:30:14,920 make herself more appealing. 477 00:30:24,919 --> 00:30:30,360 At this point, most fans knew about her ex -boyfriend, whom she had nearly a 478 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,900 decade -long relationship with, with the two of them going on vacations and 479 00:30:34,900 --> 00:30:35,920 owning a dog together. 480 00:30:36,180 --> 00:30:41,020 Besides this comment, many criticized her for even speaking to Andrew Tate, 481 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,600 leading to Adriana being flooded with even more mainstream media attention. 482 00:30:46,300 --> 00:30:50,560 This time, though, people were referring to her as a streamer rather than adult 483 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:55,300 star. Soon she began making more money streaming than she would have from adult 484 00:30:55,300 --> 00:30:59,960 content. It's not just people tipping. So right now I'm making over $50 ,000 a 485 00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:01,160 month. From Twitch? 486 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,880 Just from subs and stuff, yes, from Twitch. 487 00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:08,700 With this newfound financial freedom combined with being single, Adriana 488 00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:13,540 to quit filming adult content with production companies and vowed to slow 489 00:31:13,540 --> 00:31:15,480 posting content on her OnlyFans. 490 00:31:15,950 --> 00:31:20,670 By early 2022, at 31, Ms. Chechik desired a different career path. 491 00:31:21,070 --> 00:31:24,510 Or maybe, should I say, many different career paths. 492 00:31:24,970 --> 00:31:27,430 I entered in the space program. 493 00:31:28,010 --> 00:31:31,530 So I do hope in the next, like, two to three years, one of my goals is to have 494 00:31:31,530 --> 00:31:32,530 an electronics company. 495 00:31:32,810 --> 00:31:36,150 Probably in the next six months, I'm going to go back to college just for a 496 00:31:36,150 --> 00:31:36,949 psych degree. 497 00:31:36,950 --> 00:31:37,990 So, you know. 498 00:31:38,490 --> 00:31:41,870 I think I'm trying to, I want to get into life coaching. 499 00:31:42,170 --> 00:31:46,790 All of these aspirations failed to materialize, and she simply continued to 500 00:31:46,790 --> 00:31:48,770 stream and create OnlyFans content. 501 00:31:49,130 --> 00:31:53,810 One of the reasons for this may be because Adriana had failed to pay her 502 00:31:53,810 --> 00:31:58,450 for the past seven years, and now owed the government over a million dollars. 503 00:31:58,830 --> 00:32:02,650 I'm not an accountant, but I actually think the IRS can only go back seven 504 00:32:02,650 --> 00:32:06,670 years, so she probably had never paid her taxes in her life. But that's a 505 00:32:06,670 --> 00:32:07,670 for another day. 506 00:32:07,690 --> 00:32:11,870 Things continued to get stressful when Adriana received a heartbreaking call 507 00:32:11,870 --> 00:32:14,930 from her long -term computer programmer ex -boyfriend. 508 00:32:15,170 --> 00:32:19,650 According to the streamer, she was split in custody of their beloved dog when 509 00:32:19,650 --> 00:32:21,830 the man had taken the canine on a hike. 510 00:32:22,050 --> 00:32:26,990 Despite Adriana's reminders not to allow the dog off -leash, the man had 511 00:32:26,990 --> 00:32:31,370 willingly unhooked her four -legged friend, with them disappearing into the 512 00:32:31,370 --> 00:32:36,060 woods. The woman was beyond devastated and rushed to the hiking location, with 513 00:32:36,060 --> 00:32:40,380 the search concluding as she discovered a pack of coyotes found her dog first. 514 00:32:40,780 --> 00:32:42,760 Because he was just so awesome. 515 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,700 And sometimes I go there and I just lay where I found all this blood because I 516 00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:49,340 just want to be close to him. 517 00:32:50,300 --> 00:32:55,220 This was the moment Miss Chechik knew that she would never be back together 518 00:32:55,220 --> 00:32:56,220 this boyfriend again. 519 00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:01,340 And finally, after ten years, she had the strength to end the relationship for 520 00:33:01,340 --> 00:33:06,440 good. Unfortunately, Adriana wouldn't even have time to mourn the death of her 521 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:11,520 dog because the most world -altering event in her life would happen just one 522 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:12,359 week later. 523 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,840 In October of 2022, Twitch held its semi -annual streamer event. 524 00:33:17,100 --> 00:33:21,400 Usually, these conferences would be pretty low -key with creators flocking 525 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,360 chill and connect with fans and friends. 526 00:33:23,820 --> 00:33:27,200 This year though, literally everything seemed to go wrong. 527 00:33:27,460 --> 00:33:31,500 You may remember that I did an entire video talking about the disaster of this 528 00:33:31,500 --> 00:33:32,500 event when it occurred. 529 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:37,280 But to refresh your memory, this TwitchCon was poorly organized, 530 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,600 several people fainting and even being trampled due to poor crowd management. 531 00:33:41,980 --> 00:33:46,400 Twitch had a section of the convention run by Lenovo Legion, the largest PC 532 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:47,400 company in China. 533 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:52,180 Within their booth was a large foam pit with two pedestals slightly above the 534 00:33:52,180 --> 00:33:53,179 padding below. 535 00:33:53,180 --> 00:33:57,220 Both competitors would be given noodles to try to hit off their opponent first. 536 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:02,340 Things started to go wrong quickly with a streamer named LockVaness jumping into 537 00:34:02,340 --> 00:34:06,540 the foam resulting in a dislocated knee and being carted off in a wheelchair. 538 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:11,800 You see, the problem was the foam pit was only two feet deep but gave the 539 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,820 illusion of it being much deeper. 540 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,199 Even worse underneath was nothing but a concrete floor. 541 00:34:17,690 --> 00:34:21,909 Following Lock Vanessa's injury, this attraction wasn't even closed and the 542 00:34:21,909 --> 00:34:25,810 event moderators failed to warn people about the peril of participating. 543 00:34:26,230 --> 00:34:31,810 A few hours later, our friend Adriana decided to take part in the event. She 544 00:34:31,810 --> 00:34:34,630 battled against another streamer before winning the match. 545 00:34:34,929 --> 00:34:39,070 To celebrate, she jumped off the pedestal doing a split in the air before 546 00:34:39,070 --> 00:34:42,409 slamming her tailbone into the coal -tarred ground. 547 00:34:43,380 --> 00:34:48,300 Initially, Adriana says she was okay, but the adult star was anything but. 548 00:34:48,820 --> 00:34:53,420 Seconds later, she knew something was very wrong and that she couldn't feel 549 00:34:53,420 --> 00:34:54,699 lower half of her body. 550 00:34:56,730 --> 00:35:01,090 The one thing porn prepared me for and anal sex prepared me for was the 551 00:35:01,090 --> 00:35:03,190 breathing process to deal with that type of pain. 552 00:35:03,530 --> 00:35:07,870 People immediately began to swarm the injured woman and try to see what was 553 00:35:07,870 --> 00:35:08,569 going on. 554 00:35:08,570 --> 00:35:13,510 This resulted in Adriana being moved four times and her hair being yanked out 555 00:35:13,510 --> 00:35:16,230 her face, causing more damage to her back. 556 00:35:16,530 --> 00:35:21,030 Before the EMTs arrived at the events, a random man in the crowd jumped into 557 00:35:21,030 --> 00:35:24,730 action, seeing that those around the adult star were making it worse. 558 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,920 Eventually, she was taken to the hospital where she needed to get 559 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:35,040 surgery. And when I bounced the first time I landed, I heard one crack, right? 560 00:35:35,180 --> 00:35:40,120 And then I bounced up. When I came back down, my whole body came over top of 561 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,200 itself. And that's when I heard the big crack. 562 00:35:43,150 --> 00:35:46,030 And I remember being in the hospital and the first thing the doctor said to me, 563 00:35:46,090 --> 00:35:49,830 they didn't say that I broke anything, they said I shattered my vertebrae. What 564 00:35:49,830 --> 00:35:52,050 the doctors told her next was shocking. 565 00:35:52,330 --> 00:35:57,990 As it turns out, Adriana was unknowingly pregnant and could not receive any pain 566 00:35:57,990 --> 00:36:03,150 medication due to this fact. Due to her condition, she was only given Tylenol 567 00:36:03,150 --> 00:36:07,710 and ended up having to abort the unborn child, as she couldn't get the back 568 00:36:07,710 --> 00:36:09,350 surgery while she was carrying. 569 00:36:09,820 --> 00:36:14,180 Following the intense procedures, she was forced to lay flat for a month and 570 00:36:14,180 --> 00:36:18,220 facing long -term injuries that could potentially impact her career. 571 00:36:18,620 --> 00:36:20,860 I don't think I can squirt anymore since my back injury. 572 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,180 I have really bad bladder problems. 573 00:36:23,940 --> 00:36:28,500 Adriana was hopeful that her nerves would regrow and she would be able to 574 00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:30,680 control over her bladder once again. 575 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,300 The most positive outcome for the adult star was that she would be able to walk 576 00:36:35,300 --> 00:36:39,680 again since doctors had previously warned her that she could be paralyzed 577 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,560 life. After being released from the hospital, she was put in a back brace, 578 00:36:43,740 --> 00:36:49,380 unable to lift more than 5 pounds and needing to do daily physical therapy all 579 00:36:49,380 --> 00:36:50,900 while in immense agony. 580 00:36:51,370 --> 00:36:56,290 This pain would begin to grate on the model. Making matters worse, Adriana 581 00:36:56,290 --> 00:36:58,710 her best to refuse strong pain medication. 582 00:36:59,190 --> 00:37:02,350 So after the first week I was out of the hospital, I stopped pain pills because 583 00:37:02,350 --> 00:37:05,950 my mother was addicted to them since terrified, even in the hospital. 584 00:37:06,310 --> 00:37:10,290 In an attempt to keep herself from full pain relief and understanding the 585 00:37:10,290 --> 00:37:15,230 implications of her situation, Adriana began to wallow. She took to Twitter, 586 00:37:15,270 --> 00:37:18,730 releasing an angry message lambasting the adult industry. 587 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,700 What if I told you I hated that I did porn? 588 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:26,940 What if I told you I hated that my body is not my own? I'm tired of being a 589 00:37:26,940 --> 00:37:32,080 product. I'm not a person and it's really killing me. I don't want to tell 590 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,660 truth because you'll use them against me. I hate that my body is a free 591 00:37:36,660 --> 00:37:39,900 commodity. I die a bit every time you use me. 592 00:37:40,170 --> 00:37:44,930 The goal was never to do sex work. The goal was to survive and get out of sex 593 00:37:44,930 --> 00:37:50,290 work. Even if I enjoyed it, it's always been to grow past it. People were 594 00:37:50,290 --> 00:37:55,370 shocked at this as she had been one of the most positive ambassadors for sex 595 00:37:55,370 --> 00:37:57,150 workers on the entire planet. 596 00:37:57,430 --> 00:38:01,870 During this time, she secluded herself at her house and streamed as it still 597 00:38:01,870 --> 00:38:04,070 brought in money and she found it enjoyable. 598 00:38:04,750 --> 00:38:09,810 This moment of peace would soon end as internet trolls would find her address 599 00:38:09,810 --> 00:38:11,430 and begin to swatter. 600 00:38:11,630 --> 00:38:15,530 So I open up the door and I go outside and as soon as I open up the door and I 601 00:38:15,530 --> 00:38:20,390 step one foot outside. So they had about eight cars drive up to my property and 602 00:38:20,390 --> 00:38:22,490 I had over 20 cops with. 603 00:38:22,830 --> 00:38:26,990 big guns and it was also SWAT police so it wasn't your standard police all 604 00:38:26,990 --> 00:38:31,150 pointing guns at me. This would then become a reoccurring event until Adriana 605 00:38:31,150 --> 00:38:34,250 was forced to move and get better security around her house. 606 00:38:34,470 --> 00:38:39,110 Nowadays the police understand her situation but still are called from time 607 00:38:39,110 --> 00:38:42,210 time due to the sheer volume of calls being made. 608 00:38:42,470 --> 00:38:46,730 Once she was finally able to take off her back brace she decided to go on 609 00:38:46,730 --> 00:38:49,150 several podcasts to talk about her experience. 610 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:54,140 and decided to continue giving a more negative viewpoint of the adult 611 00:38:54,460 --> 00:38:57,060 For the most part, you do sex work to get out of sex work. 612 00:38:57,260 --> 00:39:01,440 He also gave out details about the way she had been treated by her previous 613 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:05,980 manager. He would constantly pit her against other girls, calling her fat 614 00:39:05,980 --> 00:39:07,300 she requested a day off. 615 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:12,540 She even suffered a seizure after undergoing such hardcore scenes 616 00:39:12,540 --> 00:39:16,700 her rectum being torn and needing surgery, stitching it back together. 617 00:39:17,260 --> 00:39:21,440 While in the past she had talked about her injuries with Pride, that had now 618 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:26,060 changed. Additionally, in years past, the adult star had claimed to have 619 00:39:26,060 --> 00:39:31,060 demanded to be sodomized. But she had now changed her tune into claiming she 620 00:39:31,060 --> 00:39:32,060 pushed into it. 621 00:39:32,260 --> 00:39:36,020 Because I think I was like, oh, I want to do, I want to do. 622 00:39:36,300 --> 00:39:39,340 My agent wouldn't let me do anal because I was six months into my career. 623 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,060 And then you come in to do another scene and it's like, okay, this is going to 624 00:39:43,060 --> 00:39:45,100 be just like a cool boy girl. 625 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,840 And you're going to get tied up maybe once or twice, right? And I'm like, 626 00:39:49,260 --> 00:39:52,640 And then suddenly they're like, okay, well, can you do anal too? 627 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,890 And I'm like, I've never done it. on camera but they convinced me into it. By 628 00:39:56,890 --> 00:40:02,090 2023 Adriana continued to proclaim that she would never return to sex work.

Yep, it's all fake. 656 00:41:56,660 --> 00:41:57,780 Yes, I do. 657 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,180 Despite her love for gaming, Miss Chechik felt she was missing something. 658 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,280 There was a hole in her life that needed to be filled. 659 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,720 She had finally recovered from her back surgery and was regaining confidence in 660 00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:12,180 her body since she was able to go to the gym again. 661 00:42:12,380 --> 00:42:17,320 With these new developments, Adriana decided that she wasn't actually done 662 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,500 the adult industry like she so strongly said before. 663 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:25,680 With this turn of events, many asked why she decided to come back after publicly 664 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,500 lambasting that line of work. 665 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:32,960 She responded with, What I realized through this whole experience, now that 666 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:37,940 back has healed and now that I've had time to mentally cope with it and heal, 667 00:42:37,940 --> 00:42:40,740 that I haven't had any overall bad experiences. 668 00:42:41,140 --> 00:42:45,620 And I don't hate porn, but I've had bad days like any other job. 669 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:51,000 She ended up signing with a new agency in the spring of 2024 committing to 670 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,480 mainstream adult companies. 671 00:42:53,050 --> 00:42:58,110 Although she was making her return, Adriana has sworn to take a more elegant 672 00:42:58,110 --> 00:42:59,650 approach to her work. 673 00:42:59,950 --> 00:43:05,090 A little bit more classy. I'll still be doing all the crazy stuff, but you 674 00:43:05,090 --> 00:43:09,950 definitely won't see me doing any public peeing. I don't want anybody to pee on 675 00:43:09,950 --> 00:43:15,250 me. Even with her promise to refine her image, many wondered if these rough 676 00:43:15,250 --> 00:43:17,090 shoots would be good for her health. 677 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,220 both physically and mentally. 678 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:24,060 And as I combed through Adriana's recent Twitter activity, I began to wonder the 679 00:43:24,060 --> 00:43:25,060 same thing myself. 680 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,880 There she often posts about the amount of physical pain she's in. On top of 681 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:34,580 this, she has tried drastic measures to improve her comfort level, including a 682 00:43:34,580 --> 00:43:35,580 slew of drugs. 683 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:40,640 Besides just her back pain, Adriana continues to have trouble keeping her 684 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,500 hormones and thyroid balanced. 685 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,940 It all paints a picture of a woman that's still trying to figure out her 686 00:43:46,940 --> 00:43:51,980 she approaches her mid -thirties. In conclusion, the more I looked into 687 00:43:52,060 --> 00:43:53,640 the more depressed I became. 688 00:43:54,020 --> 00:43:58,380 As I continue to research women in this line of work, the through lines become 689 00:43:58,380 --> 00:43:59,400 more and more clear. 690 00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:04,120 The bad childhood, groomed by an older man, the stripper to adult star 691 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:09,240 drug abuse problems, not paying taxes, and bold endorsement of the sex work 692 00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:13,380 scene before a burnout where they turn their back on the industry and say that 693 00:44:13,380 --> 00:44:14,620 it chipped away at their soul. 694 00:44:15,140 --> 00:44:19,860 Adriana Cechik has marked all of these boxes, with it clear that she has had a 695 00:44:19,860 --> 00:44:24,740 tough life, from foster homes to abuse to needing to terminate her pregnancy 696 00:44:24,740 --> 00:44:25,740 life -saving care. 697 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,920 While I won't say that I'm glad she stumbled back into the mainstream adult 698 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:35,240 industry after successfully pivoting to be a live streamer, all I can do is wish 699 00:44:35,240 --> 00:44:39,340 her the best and hope that she eventually finds peace in her life. But 700 00:44:39,340 --> 00:44:43,660 as she continues to produce explicit content, she'll unfortunately be known 701 00:44:43,660 --> 00:44:46,200 most as the adult star who broke her back. 66926
