The mini-profile starred Colorado-born Angela Aspen, who spoke boldly and positively about the porn industry.

Now, however, Jessica Neely — Aspen's real name — is telling a very different story.

In a video on view below, she reveals how porn nearly destroyed her life.

The clip was created with the assistance of Fight the New Drug, an organization that describes itself as "a group of passionate and innovative problem-solvers who want to make a difference in the world. Our mission is to raise awareness on the harmful effects of pornography through creative mediums."

Neely's account certainly fits the latter description.

In 2010, Neely told reporter Otte that she grew up the daughter of an Assemblies of God pastor and actually served as a youth minister for a time.

However, she claimed that she became "alienated from the church" and became enamored of sex — something with which she'd had little previous experience.

According to Neely, she was raped in her early twenties, and the trauma she experienced left her feeling shattered.

"My whole dream of life was gone," she says in the video. "Everything that I wanted to grow up to be died on the pavement."

From there, it was a short trip to porn.

“I went from that to a party and this guy owned this website,” Neely recalls. “The model had flaked and I was like, ‘sign me up.’ I didn’t call myself a porn star because I didn’t know what I was doing, I had just lost my virginity, I didn’t know up from down. But quickly people coached. And I was booked. I was $400. I now had the reality that I had a price tag on my body."

"I no longer had friends. I didn’t have my family. Money is what I would have in one hand, and a bottle of alcohol in the other when I went to bed. Pornography took everything."

She became suicidal: "I would pop as many pills as I could get my hands on, and then just drink and drink and drink, trying to overdose.”

But before the worst could happen, she reached out to her parents and re-embraced her faith — key factors in her decision to leave the porn industry and start over again.

Today, Neely is living in Kansas City, where she's been working as a pizza-delivery person.

More seriously, Neely is dedicated to shattering the porn-star fantasy and sharing what really happened during her years as a porn star.

The video is a first step in that mission.
