1
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:10,760
On October 9th, 2022, news outlets
reported on a lady who broke her back
2
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,620
jumping into a phone pit at the yearly
TwitchCon event.
3
00:00:13,820 --> 00:00:18,280
The woman who sustained the severe
injuries was identified to be a streamer
4
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,000
adult performer named Adriana Chechik.
5
00:00:21,310 --> 00:00:25,730
The jokes wrote themselves as she became
known as the adult star who literally
6
00:00:25,730 --> 00:00:26,730
broke her back.
7
00:00:26,950 --> 00:00:30,910
While this is what launched her name
into the mainstream media, most knew
8
00:00:30,910 --> 00:00:34,850
essentially nothing about this woman who
is actually one of the most peculiar
9
00:00:34,850 --> 00:00:36,750
stars in the X -rated industry.
10
00:00:37,150 --> 00:00:38,550
So who is Adriana?
11
00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:42,570
How did she end up at the TwitchCon foam
pit? And did she ever recover?
12
00:00:42,910 --> 00:00:47,270
Well, after a hundred hours of research,
I discovered a twisted tale starting
13
00:00:47,270 --> 00:00:50,370
with her in a Russian orphanage, growing
up Amish.
14
00:00:50,900 --> 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 --> 00:01:26,110
The Pets Table offers both human -grade
fresh and gently air -dried options
24
00:01:26,110 --> 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
00:01:37,070 --> 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
00:02:07,270 --> 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.

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 --> 00:03:04,970
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 --> 00:03:11,550
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 --> 00:03:44,720
Her mother, on the other hand, would
attempt to get custody of Adriana, but
56
00:03:44,720 --> 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 --> 00:04:19,709
out to be extremely traumatizing.
67
00:04:19,930 --> 00:04:23,970
I even used to sit in strip clubs with
the house mom so she would dance.
68
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,120
And I think being around all of that sex
actually worked against me. Instead of
69
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,280
making it more knowledgeable, it made me
fearful to the point where I was like,
70
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,760
I don't want to be like this, and I
don't want to do these type of things.
71
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,200
Eventually, her mother lost custody of
her daughter once again, but that
72
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,180
wouldn't stop her from having eight
other children, all with different
73
00:04:46,420 --> 00:04:49,540
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 --> 00:04:57,760
It was there that she experienced a
structured family unit for the first
76
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,140
that taught her proper hygiene such as
brushing her hair and teeth.
77
00:05:01,420 --> 00:05:05,100
She enjoyed the Mennonites so much that
the young girl would purposefully get
78
00:05:05,100 --> 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 --> 00:06:33,380
admitting that she was a virgin to the
brother who was horrified.
103
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:37,400
Oddly enough, Adriana reflects
positively on this experience.
104
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,500
and went on to sleep with this man's
best friend six days later.
105
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,960
It's weird because so I fucked his
friend only because he went back and
106
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,880
banged his ex -girlfriend while I was
there and I just got like so pissed. I
107
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,420
like, well, fuck it, I'm gonna get my
rocks off. She would then reunite with
108
00:06:53,420 --> 00:06:57,760
friend's brother and attend the same
college, Drexel University, studying
109
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,520
biochemical engineering together.
110
00:06:59,820 --> 00:07:03,680
Things started to go downhill for the
couple when the young woman took a job
111
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,100
working at a restaurant similar to
Hooters.
112
00:07:06,570 --> 00:07:11,610
So I started working there at 18 years
old, and I was making great money, like
113
00:07:11,610 --> 00:07:14,410
for East Coast, I made $500 ,000 a
shift.
114
00:07:14,730 --> 00:07:18,830
This upset her boyfriend, who felt she
wasn't giving him enough attention since
115
00:07:18,830 --> 00:07:20,590
she was so busy with work 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
00:07:57,240 --> 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 --> 00:08:16,680
Florida at the famous Scarlet'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
00:08:37,580 --> 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 all 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
00:08:53,600 --> 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
00:09:04,310 --> 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
00:09:20,110 --> 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 --> 00:09:42,880
bags to lick them. Wow. And I just
remember being like, is this the person
155
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,120
want to be in 10 years? This was a wake
-up call for the stripper. Adriana
156
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,220
wanted to find a more stable way of
living while still earning enough money
157
00:09:51,220 --> 00:09:52,220
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 --> 00:10:17,740
Adriana figured since she had no family,
there would be no one to disappoint if
164
00:10:17,740 --> 00:10:19,120
she went through with the deed.
165
00:10:19,340 --> 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 --> 00:11:09,380
Because I was trying to take sex stills,
but I was like shaking during the sex
178
00:11:09,380 --> 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
180
00:11:18,060 --> 00:11:20,400
months, which is unheard of for new
talent.
181
00:11:20,940 --> 00:11:25,260
Ms. Chechik claims to have no longer
felt depressed after she started this
182
00:11:25,260 --> 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 --> 00:11:40,360
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
00:11:53,940 --> 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 --> 00:11:59,339
the space.
191
00:11:59,340 --> 00:12:03,380
While she accepted instruction, she
refused to live at her manager's house.
192
00:12:03,660 --> 00:12:07,760
Because Adriana had made money from
being a stripper, she had her own
193
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,000
and car and didn't need to be taken care
of by this man.
194
00:12:11,340 --> 00:12:13,580
And this guy was trying to make
everybody...
195
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,800
stay in his house but he wanted
everybody you had chores when you stayed
196
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,460
so you had to pay a thousand dollars the
more i looked at i was like this is
197
00:12:20,460 --> 00:12:24,040
like a very like kind of like pimping
thing while her agent claimed to be
198
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,060
looking out for her this turned out not
to be the case when it came to her rate
199
00:12:28,060 --> 00:12:33,440
as adriana soon learned she was being
severely underpaid and when i went to my
200
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:38,840
new agent he was like you know you're a
great great talent but like it's really
201
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,960
unheard of to be booked out that so far
in advance because i was doing boy girls
202
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,160
for six hundred dollars Around the time
of getting a new manager, Adriana
203
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,200
decided she wanted to plunge into new
genres.
204
00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:59,040
Despite this, she ended up performing
these
205
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,200
acts and wondered what else she could do
to get more attention.
206
00:13:02,580 --> 00:13:07,520
After much training and not even a year
in her career, Adriana made U .S.
207
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,740
history as the first American to perform
208
00:13:10,830 --> 00:13:13,010
How do I put this without getting banned
on YouTube?
209
00:13:13,650 --> 00:13:15,550
Triple rectum penetration.
210
00:13:16,010 --> 00:13:17,010
Yeah, that works.
211
00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:20,960
I had sex with 42 people.
212
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:25,960
These extreme feats caused a stir in the
adult community, and many other female
213
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,000
performers began to feel threatened by
Adriana's grand plans.
214
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,860
My main competitor was Bonnie Run.
215
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,800
Right, and she pushed you? She was
similarly motivated?
216
00:13:36,140 --> 00:13:40,280
Oh, she was so bitchy to me. Yeah,
because she started dancing with my same
217
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,760
agency, and before he would take her on,
she had to say she was sorry to me
218
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:49,530
because she actually called me a whore
and all these bad names in public. In
219
00:13:49,530 --> 00:13:54,310
2014, she launched her website to
generate more income and worked hard to
220
00:13:54,310 --> 00:13:56,330
up different ways to make herself
relevant.
221
00:13:56,570 --> 00:14:01,050
You see, despite enjoying work in the
industry for stability, the pay was
222
00:14:01,050 --> 00:14:02,130
significantly lower.
223
00:14:05,030 --> 00:14:11,990
The performer even
224
00:14:11,990 --> 00:14:16,190
admitted that early on she made more
money stripping than in her first three
225
00:14:16,190 --> 00:14:17,250
years of adult work.
226
00:14:17,660 --> 00:14:22,180
It became very clear to the starlet that
she was going to have to work very hard
227
00:14:22,180 --> 00:14:26,540
to become a well -known name, and felt
the best way to do this was to create
228
00:14:26,540 --> 00:14:27,580
diehard fans.
229
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,480
One of the reasons she created such
loyal followers was due to her
230
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,220
to sleep with fans on occasion.
231
00:14:34,540 --> 00:14:38,720
She even made adult news headlines for
admitting to finding men to sleep with
232
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,300
off of Reddit and Craigslist.
233
00:14:47,180 --> 00:14:51,440
As if sleeping with Redditors wasn't
disgusting enough, she drew massive
234
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,160
attention to herself following an
interview on the Howard Stern Show.
235
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,760
There, Adriana shared a story leaving
many disturbed.
236
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,580
You see, Ms. Chechik explained that at
one point in her childhood, she lived
237
00:15:03,580 --> 00:15:05,320
with a man who was dating her mother.
238
00:15:05,580 --> 00:15:10,200
And despite whatever falling out he had
with Adriana's parents, the man still
239
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,580
stayed in touch with the young woman
throughout the years.
240
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
241
00:15:17,340 --> 00:15:18,560
perverse on his part.
242
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,140
He just wanted to be a dad and be a nice
guy.
243
00:15:22,380 --> 00:15:27,240
Later, when Adriana entered the adult
space, he messaged her saying he was
244
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,880
the young woman was doing something he
enjoyed.
245
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,080
They then discovered they were both
living nearby each other in Florida and
246
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,080
he was actually running for mayor in the
town he lived in. This is when he
247
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,560
invited her out to dinner.
248
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.
249
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.
250
00:15:48,170 --> 00:15:52,130
Adriana still felt the same attraction
to this man that she had when she was
251
00:15:52,130 --> 00:15:54,810
younger and invited him to her hotel
room.
252
00:15:55,130 --> 00:15:57,530
After dinner, we went back to my hotel
room.
253
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
254
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
255
00:16:06,550 --> 00:16:13,050
in a ponytail and one thing led to
another and we did have sex following
256
00:16:13,050 --> 00:16:18,070
event the man took a selfie with her and
sent it to news outlets because he
257
00:16:18,070 --> 00:16:22,870
somehow thought it would be good press
for his political campaign This odd
258
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
259
00:16:27,350 --> 00:16:33,010
the anecdotes. On top of this, the story
doesn't fully add up. For starters, I
260
00:16:33,010 --> 00:16:37,090
can't find any picture of her with this
man. She never lists his name or
261
00:16:37,090 --> 00:16:39,310
anything connecting her to a mayoral
race.
262
00:16:39,590 --> 00:16:44,630
Then she also consistently calls this
secret individual her foster father,
263
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
264
00:16:48,890 --> 00:16:49,930
her mother at the time.
265
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,560
And lastly, the dates of her knowing
this man switch depending on the year
266
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,540
tells the story, making it all very
convoluted. I know I don't have enough
267
00:16:59,540 --> 00:17:01,900
to actually question the validity of
this story.
268
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
269
00:17:06,099 --> 00:17:10,560
for attention, but regardless, Adriana's
popularity rose from this bizarre
270
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,339
account, going somewhat viral.
271
00:17:12,900 --> 00:17:17,859
Skipping forward to 2016, things were
going well for the adult star, but she
272
00:17:17,859 --> 00:17:19,339
still wasn't satisfied.
273
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,520
Every year, Adriana attended the AVN
Awards, hoping to win Performer of the
274
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,119
Year, and each of these times, she left
disappointed.
275
00:17:27,859 --> 00:17:31,580
Okay, so surely this year, Performer of
the Year, right? Surely.
276
00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:35,260
I would love to say surely, but...
277
00:17:35,830 --> 00:17:39,190
I don't mind being underrated because
I'm still getting paid.
278
00:17:39,430 --> 00:17:44,250
She did everything in her power to be
the best, even making physical
279
00:17:44,250 --> 00:17:49,170
such as shaving down her back teeth in
order to perform better orals. The woman
280
00:17:49,170 --> 00:17:53,510
went so far as to refuse medical advice
from her doctors following a neck
281
00:17:53,510 --> 00:17:57,730
injury. My orthopedic surgeon, I was
telling him like, hey, I really need you
282
00:17:57,730 --> 00:18:01,580
to... Do some ultrasounds, you know,
like break down the scar tissue.
283
00:18:01,980 --> 00:18:06,820
Unlike the other performers, Adriana
loved to take risks while on set. She
284
00:18:06,820 --> 00:18:09,800
crafted a position she coined the
Adriana move.
285
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,780
By continuing to do this, she would
later have to undergo a neck surgery and
286
00:18:14,780 --> 00:18:16,340
have pain for years to come.
287
00:18:16,780 --> 00:18:21,860
Sadly, despite all of these sacrifices,
Adriana did not win Performer of the
288
00:18:21,860 --> 00:18:22,860
Year yet again.
289
00:18:23,210 --> 00:18:27,630
Frustrated and hurt, the woman soon
realized that these awards weren't
290
00:18:27,630 --> 00:18:29,630
based off of merit or votes.
291
00:18:29,950 --> 00:18:36,070
I got bypassed being performer of the
year because I was with an agent that
292
00:18:36,070 --> 00:18:41,730
nobody liked. And I'll tell you the
truth about AVN. You can buy these
293
00:18:41,990 --> 00:18:42,789
Oh, wow.
294
00:18:42,790 --> 00:18:43,790
That's politics.
295
00:18:44,190 --> 00:18:48,910
Even worse, the company Adriana worked
under, LA Direct Models, along with her
296
00:18:48,910 --> 00:18:53,350
agent, Derek Hay, had ruined several
relationships within the adult
297
00:18:53,590 --> 00:18:57,430
and many directors avoided this company
because of the bad blood.
298
00:18:57,690 --> 00:19:02,250
This meant that Adriana was often not
booked because of things she had nothing
299
00:19:02,250 --> 00:19:03,129
to do with.
300
00:19:03,130 --> 00:19:06,630
I would show up to set five minutes
before getting ready to fuck, and they
301
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
302
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
303
00:19:15,980 --> 00:19:19,940
like to point out that Dara Kay would
later be accused of sex trafficking in
304
00:19:19,940 --> 00:19:24,520
2020, before taking a plea deal
involving perjury and being sentenced to
305
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:25,519
months in jail.
306
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:30,080
Anyway, because of these circumstances,
Adriana did not win Performer of the
307
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,940
Year, and new girls began outpacing her.
308
00:19:33,140 --> 00:19:36,480
She began to feel jealous of the
attention they were receiving.
309
00:19:37,050 --> 00:19:41,710
The biggest example of this was an up
-and -coming star named Lana Rhodes, who
310
00:19:41,710 --> 00:19:46,190
signed with Adriana's agency and the
woman was annoyed to learn that she was
311
00:19:46,190 --> 00:19:48,210
expected to collaborate with Ms. Rhodes.
312
00:19:48,490 --> 00:19:53,610
At the time, Ms. Chechik, along with
other female performers, decided to
313
00:19:53,610 --> 00:19:55,290
Lana because she was a vegan.
314
00:19:55,570 --> 00:20:00,170
Things hit their boiling point when the
LA Direct models all attended the 2017
315
00:20:00,170 --> 00:20:02,390
AVN Awards ceremony in Florida.
316
00:20:02,890 --> 00:20:07,230
Adriana was yet again nominated for
performer of the year but shrugged it
317
00:20:07,230 --> 00:20:12,250
feeling like she was unlikely to win so
she wore a cheap outfit and decided to
318
00:20:12,250 --> 00:20:13,249
just have fun.
319
00:20:13,250 --> 00:20:18,190
To her disbelief though she actually won
and received a standing ovation from
320
00:20:18,190 --> 00:20:19,190
her co -workers.
321
00:20:19,250 --> 00:20:22,490
Adriana left the awards ceremony proud
of the achievement.
322
00:20:22,770 --> 00:20:27,270
Some outlets even reported that Vladimir
Putin weighed in on the adult star's
323
00:20:27,270 --> 00:20:29,670
success crediting it to her Russian
descent.
324
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,620
That night she drove home with Derek Hay
and a few of the other performers.
325
00:20:33,940 --> 00:20:38,400
While many of them were happy for
Adriana, Lana sat in the back of the
326
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,240
crying. When asked what was wrong, Miss
Rhodes broke down entirely.
327
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,200
You might remember this anecdote from my
retrospective on Lana Rhodes, but back
328
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,300
then I didn't have the full story yet
since it was extremely convoluted and
329
00:20:51,300 --> 00:20:52,300
poorly documented.
330
00:20:52,380 --> 00:20:57,420
That is until I stumbled across a
podcast of Adriana telling her side of
331
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
332
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
333
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
334
00:21:12,700 --> 00:21:18,140
and i was the mediator so she just like
literally like went crazy grabbed my
335
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
336
00:21:22,060 --> 00:21:23,220
said all these crazy scratches
337
00:21:23,930 --> 00:21:28,270
Once they managed to separate the two
girls, Lana ran out of the car screaming
338
00:21:28,270 --> 00:21:32,850
that she wanted to end her life and
jumped into the alligator -infested bay.
339
00:21:33,150 --> 00:21:37,710
The police were then called to arrest
Lana but wanted to interview Adriana
340
00:21:37,710 --> 00:21:38,710
what happened.
341
00:21:38,730 --> 00:21:44,210
As it turns out, after doing cocaine for
moral support, Adriana tried her best
342
00:21:44,210 --> 00:21:46,250
to explain the skirmish to the police.
343
00:21:46,530 --> 00:21:50,830
The next day, Ms. Chechik took to
Twitter sharing the events with her
344
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:56,500
What you see and believe to be true is
not who she is. She has physically
345
00:21:56,500 --> 00:21:58,460
me and emotionally caused distress.
346
00:21:59,020 --> 00:22:02,640
The other performers that were in the
car rushed to Adriana's defense.
347
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:08,340
After last night, everyone should know
that yes, Lana Rhodes did attack Adriana
348
00:22:08,340 --> 00:22:11,960
Cechik after her temper tantrum for not
winning an award.
349
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,480
And yes, Lana Rhodes is on drugs.
350
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,720
She asked for multiple drugs, including
heroin, over the weekend.
351
00:22:19,260 --> 00:22:21,740
This is not a rumor. This is the truth.
352
00:22:22,060 --> 00:22:26,660
These events would result in Lana being
dropped from LA Direct Models. Though to
353
00:22:26,660 --> 00:22:28,760
this day, Lana stands by her innocence.
354
00:22:29,140 --> 00:22:30,320
She was never punched.
355
00:22:30,620 --> 00:22:31,900
I was never arrested.
356
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
357
00:22:37,020 --> 00:22:42,040
emergency room. I don't drink hard
alcohol and I took shots to be able to
358
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,320
stage because I'm shy.
359
00:22:43,620 --> 00:22:46,420
I didn't know how much you are supposed
to drink.
360
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,520
No one believed Lana's sob story,
especially other adult performers such
361
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:56,120
Abigail Lee tweeting at Lana, All that
glitter ain't gold, bitch.
362
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,920
For years following, the two publicly
hated each other, but as she got older,
363
00:23:01,140 --> 00:23:05,880
Adriana decided to be the bigger person
and reached out to apologize for how she
364
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,780
treated Lana and they made amends.
365
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:13,240
While Adriana would be able to mend
relationships following mean tweets, she
366
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:18,320
would not get this chance with fellow
adult star August Ames. Many allege that
367
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,800
Adriana made August's life a living hell
before she took her own life.
368
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:27,760
As the story goes, she publicly tweeted
at Miss Ames, calling her homophobic for
369
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,760
refusing to work with gay performers
because they have a higher chance of
370
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:32,860
HIV positive.
371
00:23:33,140 --> 00:23:35,300
No, he's tested just like everyone else.
372
00:23:35,540 --> 00:23:40,460
If you're tested and clean, no need to
discriminate. You can, however, say no
373
00:23:40,460 --> 00:23:43,840
someone if you wish. But to say it's due
to testing is a lie.
374
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,040
If you believe that person is doing
something off camera, then agree
375
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,260
It's just hate.
376
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,340
Adriana's fans soon joined the dogpile
against August Ames, who was already
377
00:23:54,340 --> 00:23:57,940
facing a large hate mob over her
comments from other groups.
378
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,680
This would soon lead to the 23 -year
-old taking her own life.
379
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,680
This event, along with another
controversial tweet from Adriana where
380
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,880
the observation that it's only rape if
you bitch about it, caused her immense
381
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,760
backlash. While these controversies
didn't stop Chechik from getting work,
382
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,480
rough demeanor did have an impact on her
career.
383
00:24:17,870 --> 00:24:22,970
You see, Adriana was deemed so hardcore
that many male performers outright
384
00:24:22,970 --> 00:24:24,950
refused to be on set with her.
385
00:24:25,230 --> 00:24:29,990
I always vouch for this because people,
even with him, some girls wouldn't want
386
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
387
00:24:34,270 --> 00:24:37,110
stuff. Instead of toning down her act,
she embraced it.
388
00:24:37,330 --> 00:24:42,270
Going on to urinate in public puts toys
inside herself at Dave & Buster's, as
389
00:24:42,270 --> 00:24:44,150
well as circulating on an escalator.
390
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,280
I imagine a lot was censored in that
sentence, but you get the idea.
391
00:24:48,540 --> 00:24:53,460
While in the moment this was free
publicity, it had long -term
392
00:24:53,460 --> 00:24:56,720
mainstream brands didn't want to be
associated with her.
393
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,780
If I could take anything back in my
career, it'd be the public actions that
394
00:25:00,780 --> 00:25:02,540
did that weren't for companies.
395
00:25:02,780 --> 00:25:07,480
What I realize now is those moments are
actually hindering me from...
396
00:25:08,970 --> 00:25:12,930
average society wanting to work with me
because they only see me in that light.
397
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
398
00:25:17,270 --> 00:25:21,190
appearance on Adam 22's podcast, No
Jumper, in 2019.
399
00:25:21,650 --> 00:25:25,710
There, she revealed that the now 28
-year -old had a boyfriend since 2013,
400
00:25:26,130 --> 00:25:30,850
meaning Adriana had a partner since she
started in the adult industry, despite
401
00:25:30,850 --> 00:25:32,390
claiming she wasn't dating.
402
00:25:32,610 --> 00:25:34,930
I didn't date anybody my first five
years of
403
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,900
who worked as a computer programmer had
a very unique take on Adriana's career
404
00:25:42,900 --> 00:25:43,900
choice.
405
00:25:44,620 --> 00:25:51,440
Through my research, I discovered she
did reference him
406
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:57,180
during an interview with adult director
Pierre Woodman in 2015, describing her
407
00:25:57,180 --> 00:25:58,840
boyfriend's sexual preferences.
408
00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:11,200
And then I ended up having a DP with my
boyfriend in this random suit.
409
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,800
Off topic, but this Woodman guy would
later be accused of sexual assault and
410
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,780
trafficking. Lana Rhodes also despised
this director, but at the time was
411
00:26:19,780 --> 00:26:24,100
ignored following her fight with
Adriana. Anyway, Adriana's literal cuck
412
00:26:24,100 --> 00:26:28,760
boyfriend would be very active in her
career, often attending sets with her
413
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,820
giving male performers Viagra before
they had sexual intercourse with his
414
00:26:32,820 --> 00:26:37,220
girlfriend. While Ms. Chechik had been
supportive of dating a much older man
415
00:26:37,220 --> 00:26:42,200
having an open relationship, she more
recently has condemned this individual
416
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,580
his treatment towards her.
417
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,940
I felt like he was conversationally
manipulating me.
418
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,940
Adriana claimed that he would give her
drugs such as Adderall and Molly, while
419
00:26:52,940 --> 00:26:54,940
also constantly calling her fat.
420
00:26:55,220 --> 00:26:59,660
The adult star believes that due to
their 20 -year age gap, he was too
421
00:26:59,660 --> 00:27:03,540
controlling. Like a lot of the times I
went to shoot just because he would tell
422
00:27:03,540 --> 00:27:04,540
me to shoot.
423
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
424
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:14,160
scenes a month. She even went so far as
to claim he pushed her to perform sexual
425
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,980
acts that she wasn't comfortable with
because it was his fantasy.
426
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,840
This man was very active in the swinger
community and would often bring Adriana
427
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,780
around his older swinging friends, where
she would engage in off -camera
428
00:27:26,780 --> 00:27:31,840
parties. Despite her ending things in
2020, the separation impacted the now
429
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:36,860
almost 30 year old. She began to
increase her Adderall dependence by
430
00:27:36,860 --> 00:27:38,720
milligrams every day.
431
00:27:38,980 --> 00:27:42,780
When this didn't solve her problems, she
decided to take mushrooms.
432
00:27:43,630 --> 00:27:47,950
Unfortunately, this ate away at her
mental health as she began to lose grip
433
00:27:47,950 --> 00:27:53,390
reality. That really sent me into a
loop. I actually went and I was stuck in
434
00:27:53,390 --> 00:27:55,410
mental hospital for like seven days.
435
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
436
00:28:00,090 --> 00:28:04,550
chronic masturbator. While the adult
star believes that it was beneficial to
437
00:28:04,550 --> 00:28:08,410
up in the psychiatric ward, she was
afraid for her safety and began
438
00:28:08,410 --> 00:28:13,600
hallucinating. Following this
hospitalization, Adriana put a pause on
439
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,860
adult content and sought out help from a
psychiatrist.
440
00:28:17,380 --> 00:28:21,660
I had a psychiatrist who was trying to
tell me I had dissociative disorder and
441
00:28:21,660 --> 00:28:25,860
possibly multiple personalities, but she
was also taking like four grand a month
442
00:28:25,860 --> 00:28:26,439
from me.
443
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,660
She quit seeing this professional, but
didn't stop her search for better
444
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:35,160
This is when she discovered a hormone
imbalance and addressed her neck problem
445
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,940
as she finally gave her body a break
from filming intense scenes.
446
00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:42,200
I have a really fucked up neck now. I
have a pinched nerve.
447
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:43,960
Like a wrestler.
448
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:51,100
And yeah, my C6 and C7 are out of place,
the disc slipped, and then
449
00:28:51,100 --> 00:28:53,760
my brain stem actually comes out of
pocket a little bit.
450
00:28:54,020 --> 00:28:58,380
While still healing her body and soul,
Adriana ended up getting neck and back
451
00:28:58,380 --> 00:29:01,200
surgery after injuring herself on a
trampoline.
452
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,160
And I need to be clear that this is
different from the foam pit incident.
453
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,420
be getting to that soon. The biggest
eyebrow raiser from this incident was
454
00:29:09,420 --> 00:29:13,600
while already under the knife from the
fall, she decided to get breast
455
00:29:13,860 --> 00:29:17,040
which upset many fans who loved her
natural look.
456
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,720
With no company to shoot with during the
healing process, she started living
457
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,400
with her friend and fellow adult star,
Megan Reign.
458
00:29:24,830 --> 00:29:29,430
The two agreed to make content together
for OnlyFans and Adriana claims that
459
00:29:29,430 --> 00:29:32,130
they grew so close that they were
essentially dating.
460
00:29:32,470 --> 00:29:37,070
It was also around this time that
Adriana began streaming on the gaming
461
00:29:37,070 --> 00:29:39,250
softcore camgirl site Twitch.
462
00:29:39,650 --> 00:29:44,330
The adult star claims to have always
loved video games and had no idea she
463
00:29:44,330 --> 00:29:46,670
generate a huge following playing them
live.
464
00:29:46,990 --> 00:29:51,170
Other streamers such as Aiden Ross
capitalized on Adriana's popularity.
465
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:56,220
He invited her onto a dating show with
Andrew Tate, and while he expected
466
00:29:56,220 --> 00:29:58,720
to go poorly, the two actually hit it
off.
467
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:01,880
In
468
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:08,480
fact,
469
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:13,540
Adriana seemed to like Andrew so much
that she lied about her relationship to
470
00:30:13,540 --> 00:30:14,920
make herself more appealing.
471
00:30:19,260 --> 00:30:21,180
any real long -term relationships.
472
00:30:22,020 --> 00:30:25,020
They've all been quite quick and short.
473
00:30:25,500 --> 00:30:30,360
At this point, most fans knew about her
ex -boyfriend, whom she had nearly a
474
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,900
decade -long relationship with, with the
two of them going on vacations and
475
00:30:34,900 --> 00:30:35,920
owning a dog together.
476
00:30:36,180 --> 00:30:41,020
Besides this comment, many criticized
her for even speaking to Andrew Tate,
477
00:30:41,180 --> 00:30:45,600
leading to Adriana being flooded with
even more mainstream media attention.
478
00:30:46,300 --> 00:30:50,560
This time, though, people were referring
to her as a streamer rather than adult
479
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:55,300
star. Soon she began making more money
streaming than she would have from adult
480
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
481
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:01,160
month. From Twitch?
482
00:31:01,620 --> 00:31:03,880
Just from subs and stuff, yes, from
Twitch.
483
00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:08,700
With this newfound financial freedom
combined with being single, Adriana
484
00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:13,520
to quit filming adult content with
production companies and vowed to slow
485
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,480
posting content on her OnlyFans.
486
00:31:15,950 --> 00:31:20,690
By early 2022, at 31, Ms. Chechik
desired a different career path.
487
00:31:21,070 --> 00:31:24,530
Or maybe, should I say, many different
career paths.
488
00:31:24,970 --> 00:31:27,430
I entered in the space program.
489
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
490
00:31:31,530 --> 00:31:32,530
an electronics company.
491
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
492
00:31:36,150 --> 00:31:36,949
psych degree.
493
00:31:36,950 --> 00:31:37,990
So, you know.
494
00:31:38,490 --> 00:31:41,870
I think I'm trying to, I want to get
into life coaching.
495
00:31:42,170 --> 00:31:46,770
All of these aspirations failed to
materialize, and she simply continued to
496
00:31:46,770 --> 00:31:48,770
stream and create OnlyFans content.
497
00:31:49,130 --> 00:31:53,810
One of the reasons for this may be
because Adriana had failed to pay her
498
00:31:53,810 --> 00:31:58,450
for the past seven years, and now owed
the government over a million dollars.
499
00:31:58,830 --> 00:32:02,650
I'm not an accountant, but I actually
think the IRS can only go back seven
500
00:32:02,650 --> 00:32:06,670
years, so she probably had never paid
her taxes in her life. But that's a
501
00:32:06,670 --> 00:32:07,670
for another day.
502
00:32:07,690 --> 00:32:11,870
Things continued to get stressful when
Adriana received a heartbreaking call
503
00:32:11,870 --> 00:32:14,930
from her long -term computer programmer
ex -boyfriend.
504
00:32:15,170 --> 00:32:19,650
According to the streamer, she was
splitting custody of their beloved dog
505
00:32:19,650 --> 00:32:21,830
the man had taken the canine on a hike.
506
00:32:22,050 --> 00:32:26,990
Despite Adriana's reminders not to allow
the dog off -leash, the man had
507
00:32:26,990 --> 00:32:31,370
willingly unhooked her four -legged
friend, with them disappearing into the
508
00:32:31,370 --> 00:32:36,060
woods. The woman was beyond devastated
and rushed to the hiking location, with
509
00:32:36,060 --> 00:32:40,380
the search concluding as she discovered
a pack of coyotes found her dog first.
510
00:32:40,780 --> 00:32:42,760
Because he was just so awesome.
511
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,700
And sometimes I go there and I just lay
where I found all this blood because I
512
00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:49,340
just want to be close to him.
513
00:32:50,260 --> 00:32:55,220
This was the moment Miss Chechik knew
that she would never be back together
514
00:32:55,220 --> 00:32:56,220
this boyfriend again.
515
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:01,340
And finally, after ten years, she had
the strength to end the relationship for
516
00:33:01,340 --> 00:33:06,440
good. Unfortunately, Adriana wouldn't
even have time to mourn the death of her
517
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:11,520
dog because the most world -altering
event in her life would happen just one
518
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:12,359
week later.
519
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,840
In October of 2022, Twitch held its semi
-annual streamer event.
520
00:33:17,100 --> 00:33:21,420
Usually, these conferences would be
pretty low -key with creators flocking
521
00:33:21,420 --> 00:33:23,360
chill and connect with fans and friends.
522
00:33:23,820 --> 00:33:27,200
This year though, literally everything
seemed to go wrong.
523
00:33:27,460 --> 00:33:31,500
You may remember that I did an entire
video talking about the disaster of this
524
00:33:31,500 --> 00:33:32,500
event when it occurred.
525
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:37,280
But to refresh your memory, this
TwitchCon was poorly organized,
526
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,600
several people fainting and even being
trampled due to poor crowd management.
527
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,400
Twitch had a section of the convention
run by Lenovo Legion, the largest PC
528
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:47,400
company in China.
529
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:52,180
Within their booth was a large foam pit
with two pedestals slightly above the
530
00:33:52,180 --> 00:33:53,159
padding below.
531
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:57,240
Both competitors would be given noodles
to try to hit off their opponent first.
532
00:33:57,540 --> 00:34:02,320
Things started to go wrong quickly with
a streamer named LockVaness jumping into
533
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:06,520
the foam resulting in a dislocated knee
and being carted off in a wheelchair.
534
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:11,800
You see, the problem was the foam pit
was only two feet deep but gave the
535
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,800
illusion of it being much deeper.
536
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,199
Even worse underneath was nothing but a
concrete floor.
537
00:34:17,690 --> 00:34:21,909
Following Lock Vanessa's injury, this
attraction wasn't even closed and the
538
00:34:21,909 --> 00:34:25,810
event moderators failed to warn people
about the peril of participating.
539
00:34:26,210 --> 00:34:31,810
A few hours later, our friend Adriana
decided to take part in the event. She
540
00:34:31,810 --> 00:34:34,630
battled against another streamer before
winning the match.
541
00:34:34,929 --> 00:34:39,070
To celebrate, she jumped off the
pedestal doing a split in the air before
542
00:34:39,070 --> 00:34:42,409
slamming her tailbone into the coal
-tarred ground.
543
00:34:43,380 --> 00:34:48,300
Initially, Adriana says she was okay,
but the adult star was anything but.
544
00:34:48,820 --> 00:34:53,420
Seconds later, she knew something was
very wrong and that she couldn't feel
545
00:34:53,420 --> 00:34:54,699
lower half of her body.
546
00:34:56,730 --> 00:35:01,070
The one thing porn prepared me for and
anal sex prepared me for was the
547
00:35:01,070 --> 00:35:03,190
breathing process to deal with that type
of pain.
548
00:35:03,530 --> 00:35:07,870
People immediately began to swarm the
injured woman and try to see what was
549
00:35:07,870 --> 00:35:08,569
going on.
550
00:35:08,570 --> 00:35:13,510
This resulted in Adriana being moved
four times and her hair being yanked out
551
00:35:13,510 --> 00:35:16,230
her face, causing more damage to her
back.
552
00:35:16,510 --> 00:35:21,030
Before the EMTs arrived at the events, a
random man in the crowd jumped into
553
00:35:21,030 --> 00:35:24,730
action, seeing that those around the
adult star were making it worse.
554
00:35:25,340 --> 00:35:29,920
Eventually, she was taken to the
hospital where she needed to get
555
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:35,040
surgery. And when I bounced the first
time I landed, I heard one crack, right?
556
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
557
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,200
itself. And that's when I heard the big
crack.
558
00:35:43,150 --> 00:35:46,030
And I remember being in the hospital and
the first thing the doctor said to me,
559
00:35:46,090 --> 00:35:49,810
they didn't say that I broke anything,
they said I shattered my vertebrae. What
560
00:35:49,810 --> 00:35:52,050
the doctors told her next was shocking.
561
00:35:52,330 --> 00:35:57,990
As it turns out, Adriana was unknowingly
pregnant and could not receive any pain
562
00:35:57,990 --> 00:36:03,150
medication due to this fact. Due to her
condition, she was only given Tylenol
563
00:36:03,150 --> 00:36:07,710
and ended up having to abort the unborn
child, as she couldn't get the back
564
00:36:07,710 --> 00:36:09,350
surgery while she was carrying.
565
00:36:09,820 --> 00:36:14,180
Following the intense procedures, she
was forced to lay flat for a month and
566
00:36:14,180 --> 00:36:18,220
facing long -term injuries that could
potentially impact her career.
567
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,840
I don't think I can squirt anymore since
my back injury.
568
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,180
I have really bad bladder problems.
569
00:36:23,940 --> 00:36:28,500
Adriana was hopeful that her nerves
would regrow and she would be able to
570
00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:30,680
control over her bladder once again.
571
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,300
The most positive outcome for the adult
star was that she would be able to walk
572
00:36:35,300 --> 00:36:39,680
again since doctors had previously
warned her that she could be paralyzed
573
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,560
life. After being released from the
hospital, she was put in a back brace,
574
00:36:43,740 --> 00:36:49,380
unable to lift more than 5 pounds and
needing to do daily physical therapy all
575
00:36:49,380 --> 00:36:50,900
while in immense agony.
576
00:36:51,370 --> 00:36:56,290
This pain would begin to grate on the
model. Making matters worse, Adriana
577
00:36:56,290 --> 00:36:58,710
her best to refuse strong pain
medication.
578
00:36:59,190 --> 00:37:02,350
So after the first week I was out of the
hospital, I stopped pain pills because
579
00:37:02,350 --> 00:37:05,930
my mother was addicted to them since
terrified, even in the hospital.
580
00:37:06,310 --> 00:37:10,290
In an attempt to keep herself from full
pain relief and understanding the
581
00:37:10,290 --> 00:37:15,230
implications of her situation, Adriana
began to wallow. She took to Twitter,
582
00:37:15,270 --> 00:37:18,710
releasing an angry message lambasting
the adult industry.
583
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,700
What if I told you I hated that I did
porn?
584
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
585
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
586
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,660
truth because you'll use them against
me. I hate that my body is a free
587
00:37:36,660 --> 00:37:39,900
commodity. I die a bit every time you
use me.
588
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
589
00:37:44,930 --> 00:37:50,290
work. Even if I enjoyed it, it's always
been to grow past it. People were
590
00:37:50,290 --> 00:37:55,370
shocked at this as she had been one of
the most positive ambassadors for sex
591
00:37:55,370 --> 00:37:57,150
workers on the entire planet.
592
00:37:57,430 --> 00:38:01,870
During this time, she secluded herself
at her house and streamed as it still
593
00:38:01,870 --> 00:38:04,070
brought in money and she found it
enjoyable.
594
00:38:04,750 --> 00:38:09,790
This moment of peace would soon end as
internet trolls would find her address
595
00:38:09,790 --> 00:38:11,450
and begin to swat her.
596
00:38:11,850 --> 00:38:13,430
So I open up the door and I go outside.
597
00:38:13,670 --> 00:38:16,710
And as soon as I open up the door and I
step one foot outside.
598
00:38:16,990 --> 00:38:21,790
So they had about eight cars drive up to
my property. And I had over 20 cops
599
00:38:21,790 --> 00:38:26,270
with big guns. And it was also SWAT
police. So it wasn't your standard
600
00:38:26,510 --> 00:38:30,490
All pointing guns at me. This would then
become a reoccurring event until
601
00:38:30,490 --> 00:38:34,250
Adriana was forced to move and get
better security around her house.
602
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:39,120
Nowadays, the police understand her
situation, but still are called from
603
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,200
time due to the sheer volume of calls
being made.
604
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,740
Once she was finally able to take off
her back brace, she decided to go on
605
00:38:46,740 --> 00:38:51,680
several podcasts to talk about her
experience and decided to continue
606
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,120
more negative viewpoint of the adult
industry.
607
00:38:54,460 --> 00:38:58,240
For the most part, you do sex work to
get out of sex work. She also gave out
608
00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:01,840
details about the way she had been
treated by her previous manager.
609
00:39:02,350 --> 00:39:06,190
He would constantly pit her against
other girls, calling her fat when she
610
00:39:06,190 --> 00:39:07,330
requested a day off.
611
00:39:07,550 --> 00:39:12,530
She even suffered a seizure after
undergoing such hardcore scenes
612
00:39:12,530 --> 00:39:16,710
her rectum being torn and needing
surgery, stitching it back together.
613
00:39:17,110 --> 00:39:21,430
While in the past she had talked about
her injuries with pride, that had now
614
00:39:21,430 --> 00:39:26,050
changed. Additionally, in years past,
the adult star had claimed to have
615
00:39:26,050 --> 00:39:27,550
demanded to be sodomized.
616
00:39:27,790 --> 00:39:32,010
But she had now changed her tune into
claiming she was pushed into it.
617
00:39:32,230 --> 00:39:36,050
Because I think I was like, oh, I want
to do it.
618
00:39:36,370 --> 00:39:39,930
My agent wouldn't let me do it because I
was six months into my career. And then
619
00:39:39,930 --> 00:39:43,730
you come in to do another scene and it's
like, okay, this is going to be just
620
00:39:43,730 --> 00:39:45,070
like a cool boy girl.
621
00:39:45,590 --> 00:39:48,750
And you're going to get tied up maybe
once or twice, right? And I'm like,
622
00:39:49,250 --> 00:39:52,670
And then suddenly they're like, okay,
well, can you do anal too?
623
00:39:53,030 --> 00:39:56,890
And I'm like, I've never done it. on
camera but they convinced me into it. By
624
00:39:56,890 --> 00:40:02,090
2023 Adriana continued to proclaim that
she would never return to sex work. On
625
00:40:02,090 --> 00:40:07,010
top of giving up her career path she
also wanted to settle down and find a
626
00:40:07,010 --> 00:40:11,710
monogamous relationship but was
struggling because men were as she put
627
00:40:11,710 --> 00:40:13,190
intimidated by her.
628
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,500
I don't think I've ever had, like, and
this might be crazy, but I don't think
629
00:40:16,500 --> 00:40:17,700
I've ever had true love for myself.
630
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,740
So I'd love to find love for myself. I'd
love to be happy in my own body.
631
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,780
After a year of rehab, she became
sexually active again with the man she
632
00:40:26,780 --> 00:40:31,020
as her assistant, proclaiming that it
was some of the best sex she's ever had,
633
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,460
enjoying a three -minute orgasm.
634
00:40:33,700 --> 00:40:38,160
Despite supposedly leaving sex work for
good by streaming and returning to a
635
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,380
more natural look, this didn't last for
very long.
636
00:40:42,030 --> 00:40:46,750
While Adriana continued to focus on
Twitch streaming, she still found
637
00:40:46,750 --> 00:40:47,750
the center of controversy.
638
00:40:48,050 --> 00:40:53,050
It all started in early 2023 when
streamer Aiden Ross made a controversial
639
00:40:53,050 --> 00:40:54,050
suggestion.
640
00:41:11,790 --> 00:41:16,950
It's making people addicted to, it's
feeding their addiction to jerking off,
641
00:41:17,050 --> 00:41:18,170
which is a serious problem we have.
642
00:41:18,470 --> 00:41:23,290
Ms. Chechik was quick to respond to
Aiden's comment, stating on Twitter,
643
00:41:23,290 --> 00:41:25,990
man who clout chases after sex workers
for views.
644
00:41:26,310 --> 00:41:29,210
One of the most disrespectful people I
have ever met.
645
00:41:29,430 --> 00:41:33,410
Him and his team are time wasters with
no respect for women or their time.
646
00:41:33,670 --> 00:41:38,570
Additionally, Adriana and Amaranth ended
their previous friendship on bad terms.
647
00:41:39,180 --> 00:41:42,640
Miss Chechik would go so far as to call
Amaranth a fake.
648
00:41:43,180 --> 00:41:45,600
Everything is fake, like literally.
649
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:47,260
Yes, I've been subscribed.
650
00:41:48,140 --> 00:41:53,300
Yeah, so you know that all the BG
videos, it's not real.
651
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,980
Yep. Yep, it's all fake.
652
00:41:56,660 --> 00:41:57,780
Yes, I do.
653
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,180
Despite her love for gaming, Miss
Chechik felt she was missing something.
654
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,280
There was a hole in her life that needed
to be filled.
655
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,720
She had finally recovered from her back
surgery and was regaining confidence in
656
00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:12,180
her body since she was able to go to the
gym again.
657
00:42:12,380 --> 00:42:17,320
With these new developments, Adriana
decided that she wasn't actually done
658
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,500
the adult industry like she so strongly
said before.
659
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:25,680
With this turn of events, many asked why
she decided to come back after publicly
660
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,500
lambasting that line of work.
661
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:32,960
She responded with, What I realized
through this whole experience, now that
662
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,
663
00:42:37,940 --> 00:42:40,740
that I haven't had any overall bad
experiences.
664
00:42:41,140 --> 00:42:45,620
And I don't hate porn, but I've had bad
days like any other job.
665
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:51,000
She ended up signing with a new agency
in the spring of 2024 committing to
666
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,480
mainstream adult companies.
667
00:42:53,050 --> 00:42:58,110
Although she was making her return,
Adriana has sworn to take a more elegant
668
00:42:58,110 --> 00:42:59,650
approach to her work.
669
00:42:59,950 --> 00:43:05,090
A little bit more classy. I'll still be
doing all the crazy stuff, but you
670
00:43:05,090 --> 00:43:09,930
definitely won't see me doing any public
peeing. I don't want anybody to pee on
671
00:43:09,930 --> 00:43:15,250
me. Even with her promise to refine her
image, many wondered if these rough
672
00:43:15,250 --> 00:43:19,210
shoots would be good for her health,
both physically and mentally.
673
00:43:19,580 --> 00:43:24,040
And as I combed through Adriana's recent
Twitter activity, I began to wonder the
674
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:25,040
same thing myself.
675
00:43:25,420 --> 00:43:29,880
There she often posts about the amount
of physical pain she's in. On top of
676
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:34,580
this, she has tried drastic measures to
improve her comfort level, including a
677
00:43:34,580 --> 00:43:35,580
slew of drugs.
678
00:43:35,740 --> 00:43:40,640
Besides just her back pain, Adriana
continues to have trouble keeping her
679
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,480
hormones and thyroid balanced.
680
00:43:42,820 --> 00:43:46,960
It all paints a picture of a woman
that's still trying to figure out her
681
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:48,600
she approaches her mid -thirties.
682
00:43:49,050 --> 00:43:53,650
In conclusion, the more I looked into
Adriana, the more depressed I became.
683
00:43:54,010 --> 00:43:58,390
As I continued to research women in this
line of work, the through lines become
684
00:43:58,390 --> 00:43:59,430
more and more clear.
685
00:43:59,770 --> 00:44:04,150
The bad childhood, groomed by an older
man, the stripper to adult star
686
00:44:04,450 --> 00:44:09,250
drug abuse problems, not paying taxes,
and bold endorsement of the sex work
687
00:44:09,250 --> 00:44:13,370
scene before a burnout where they turn
their back on the industry and say that
688
00:44:13,370 --> 00:44:14,610
it chipped away at their soul.
689
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:19,860
Adriana Cechik has marked all of these
boxes, with it clear that she has had a
690
00:44:19,860 --> 00:44:24,720
tough life, from foster homes to abuse
to needing to terminate her pregnancy
691
00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:25,720
life -saving care.
692
00:44:25,860 --> 00:44:29,920
While I won't say that I'm glad she
stumbled back into the mainstream adult
693
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:35,220
industry after successfully pivoting to
be a live streamer, all I can do is wish
694
00:44:35,220 --> 00:44:38,560
her the best and hope that she
eventually finds peace in her life.
695
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,660
But as long as she continues to produce
explicit content, she'll unfortunately
696
00:44:42,660 --> 00:44:46,240
be known by most as the adult star who
broke her back.
