Audrey Hollander

Recently I was able to see an advanced copy of the documentary coming out next month called 9 To 5: Days In Porn.  Being a big fan of Audrey Hollander (she's SO beautifull) and when I found out that she (and her husband Otto) are one of a few stars followed around and showing their real sides and lives outside the camera I just had to see it!  That's when reality completely sunk in and I watched the downward spiral of a woman who most wonder how she's capable (and willing) to perform such extreme sex acts on screen.  Here are my original thoughts posted elsewhere...
Watched a movie called 9 to 5: Days In Porn and read real articles about the harshness of the  "industry" at www.shelleylubben.com.  The hardest part was watching porn actress Audrey Hollander as she's completely condescended by and subserviant to her egotistical and trashy husband... I thought at first that maybe she was just less intellectual than I thought, but realized later that she may be on more drugs than they were showing or in severe depression.  She looks and acts like a shell of a person and my heart really went out to her near the end, when she was feeling ill on set after using enemas for unatural things and her so called "husband" (who speaks for and controls her like a pimp) tells her to just "shake it off" and have a beer because she's due for another scene shortly.  Then when she does this very hard core scene and is choked greatly by a very large man, she sits there with her eyes closed looking like she's about to die from receiving the worst beating ever!  So, so sad... When the credits roll and they recap where everyone is a year later, all they have to say about Audrey is; "Audrey is better...".  If that isn't the ultimate and purest form of abuse by one's self and the one they call "husband" caught on film, I don't know what is.  I still feel it has a double meaning, where the creators also meant it to mean; "Audrey is better... than her controlling, masochistic husband" or even "Audrey is better... than all of this."  I dare anyone who watches porn to watch this movie and read the true stories on www.shelleylubben.com and not feel complete remorse for the emotionally and physically abused women in this industry.  I am personally shocked and disgusted.   
One of the anonymous interviews (the second one a few pages in) in the resources section at www.shelleylubbrn.com looks like it could be from Audrey herself (there are two hints that looks like it could be true) that is absolutely horrible if it was by her. Does anyone know what's happened to her? Has she retired (and hope fully left her husband)? She only made 4movoes last year (compared to the previous few years of 30 - 40 each) and none this year. After seeing this film my heart really goes out to her and I hope she is doing well!
