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. 37 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,900 Get 55 % off your first box, plus 20 % off your second. 38 00:02:17,120 --> 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 --> 00:03:04,970 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.
