18-year-old Duke University student Belle Knox, the nation’s most famous university-student-turned-porn-star, became national headline news in early March of this year, after being exposed and shamed as an adult performer by a fellow classmate. The resulting on-campus drama resulted in Belle taking charge of the situation, by writing an article for www.xojane.com and embarking on a year-long media blitz.
Interviewed on The View, Huffington Post Live, The Bethenny Frankel Show, Good Day New York, FOX News, and countless radio shows across the country, as well as by Howard Stern, John Stossel, Piers Morgan, and more. The starlet has also been the focus of articles in Time Magazine, The NY Times, and Rolling Stone, a storyline for an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and the focus of a Conde Nast documentary, “Becoming Belle Knox.”
Belle Knox’s story is of triumph over shame, and all eyes have been on the teen porn performer and intelligent, empowered, brand-aware starlet at every turn, from both mainstream and adult media.
