Housing Discrimination A Major Problem For Adult Film Stars
Adult Film Stars Face Housing Discrimination By Landlords And Potential Buyers
Female Adult film stars say they often face housing discrimination. Several adult-film actresses claim they have been screwed by potential buyers and landlords because of their profession.
Aurora Snow claims adult film performers face discrimination from landlords due to their line of work. She wrote in the Daily Beast:
As a renter, I had to be vague on my applications by listing myself as an actress/model. Only when pushed did I offer up my affiliation with Playboy TV. This was apparently more palatable for the landlords than my collective body of work.
I was young and had great credit and plenty of money. I had even agreed to put down three times the deposit. But it wasn’t enough. He grilled me about my employers in person and demanded to know why I did “it.”
Then he pestered me about how many men I’d be having over and told me how the walls were so thin that the whole building would know every time I had sex (he assumed porn stars are incapable of being quiet).
He made me feel dirtier than most of the sets I’d been on.
Sure, I’ve had sex on countertops, couches, stairwells, and even hovering a toilet. Some of it was on-camera but not all the sex I’ve had was loud obnoxious “porn” sex. I’ve never destroyed property or been evicted, so none of it should matter. Most people have sex, yet when a porn star does it the sex becomes a filthy act.
