That is very sad.The only thing we can do to help her is to request her on porn companies like (greg lansky,brazzers,keiran lee, mompov and others). With only one scene per month she could live a regular life again. I have already did it. If anyone else is interested request her on sites or on twitter of porn companies.
Don't just look at the still picture and make your mind up. In the youtube, she actually seemed very articulate and she had a few very interesting perspectives on her life underground where she found that people were more considerate than the people above ground. She still looks fine and has remarkable skin. To all those advocating that she should come back to porn. Why? I love porn, but you can't deny that we've lost a lot of wonderful people due to drugs and suicide.
I don't really care if she comes back to porn or not; what matters is that she gets back to living on top like a normal person. Nobody in this world dreams of living in rat tunnels and if you think the reason why she's down there is because people are more "considerate" or she was looking for an interesting perspective in life, then you are pretty silly.
The sad truth is she has hit rock bottom... and if you imagine the last few hours she must have went through while being evicted from her house and losing everything, it must have been painful. Porn wasn't the problem and cause for her to drop like this because she already had retired... This was mostly due to drug abuse like others have said and which is a personal problem.

Truly sad to see Jenni this way. In her day Jenni was one of the hottest and most down to earth stars I loved to watch. (Who among us who watched her scenes didn't stroke to her) The first time I saw her perform was for Naughty America in My sisters Hot Friend. She appears reserved that this is the life she will be living and trying to make the best of it. I can only hope for the best.
She is in no way ready to do porn, physically or mentally. Her teeth and fingernails exhibit symptoms of major health problems, I don't want to go into detail what has caused this but I got a pretty good idea what. She needs real help, I don't want to bash the industry because again, we are all responsible for our own actions. But the partying lifestyle of porn in all likelihood is what enabled Jenni's substance abuse and addictions and going back to that line of work could only make things worse again.
Are there any porn journalists in Vegas or near the area? She needs relatives/close friends to get her out of there for starters. A proper interview with her to get the word out would be a start too. If she atleast owns a bank account something could be managed where people can donate a GoFundMe page of sorts.
<a href=https://forum.adultdvdtalk.com/jenni-lee-pretty-good-actress/reply/3526343>Jenni Lee: Pretty good actress!</a>
I was responding to people who suggested she get back into porn as if it was going to be the path to getting her life back on track when it's likely that the porn lifestyle contributed to her decline. I was not suggesting that she is not in dire straits and needs support.
Her real wife stories scene is one of the best ever. I can't believe this how the heck does someone so successful wind up like this. I wonder if she is married I see a wedding ring.
It sounds like you're eager to let the pornography business off the hook by prefacing all that with the standard "we're all responsible for our own actions" as if things happen in a vacuum. The porn industry has a long line of performers who end up like her and to shift the blame from the exploitative industry onto the shoulders of the exploited is not a good look.
^Not even close. I said both parties are at fault, the business for creating the environment and the performers who don't have self-control. You're a responsible adult, right? If you make mistakes in situations you weren't forced into it's your own fault isn't it? Even more so the older you are. Now, luring an 18 year old porn newbie into a coke filled VIP section at a nightclub is different. But Jenni Lee seemed to be doing well in life up untill her early to mid 30s.
I had found a meme of Jenni on her FTV shoot a while back:

man, what a sad story
she was so damn sexy way back in her bigmouthfuls scene - she had the perfect combination of pretty face, tight thin body, round butt, just-right-sized breast implants, and an on camera personality that came across as cute but slightly trashy - what a fucking turn on she was
Okay I am old as fuck, but could have gone the rest of my life without opening this thread and watching that Dutch documentary. One of the last photos I recall of Jenni was one taken at Van Nuys airport, boarding a private plane, dressed in a beautiful white pants suit heading to Vegas with a rich boyfriend and entourage. She had retired and I said good for her. She was/is one the good ones. Did a little porn, but now was heading on to a different life and hopefully a good life. Like many before her. I did not envision what I saw in that video. Never in a million years. I want to just forget it but I am haunted by it. I know now I have to do something.
People who have sunk that low, generally shun assistance but that doesn't mean we should not try. I think as a group who has enjoyed her movies, we should try. I won't pretend to know what to do but I know I have to do something. First, I am calling on those that moderate, and run this site, who have some influence in the industry, to first verify that the video is still accurate and that Jenni still resides underground. Perhaps the video got others closer to her to act and things are better. Perhaps she is getting the help she needs and if so let us who have supported this site for years, know. If not, then Vegas has professionals who deal with this type of depression and I ask ADVD to enlist their aid and intervene. I am also calling on any friends of Jenni who may be unaware of her plight to also seek an intervention. If this works, if she is getting or will get the treatment she needs, then I am calling upon all members here to join me in a Go Fund Me site for Jenni. Yes there is a good chance the money might go for drugs but I think if responsible friends are involved, then that chance is lessened. Perhaps there is another solution. I am game. As I said I don't pretend to have the answers but guys we have to do something. In our world anonymity is important. However I do think we could do something meaningful and respect that anonymity. What do you say Adult DVD? Members?
The video has gone viral and it's been around for a while now, gathering millions of views over several copied videos. I would be very surprised if no one has reached out to her by now, she was not hard to find and Vegas probably has a huge number of porn fans willing to help. You're probably too late to become her prince charming.
Gotta say the video has attracted some real low lives too. I don't think the average ADT member's faint heart could handle seeing some of the comments posted there.
Assuming that her current status may have changed some verification of her current state would be nice

3^ you can't force help on people. And, given that the homeless situation is a lot bigger than a former porn performer living in a tunnel, I'm sure the social services dept is swamped with people actually wanting help. If you want to do something to help, I'm sure your local shelter would welcome your efforts.

^. Good catch! Personally, I wouldn't have contributed, because I feel it's up to the person to seek help and at no point in the articles did she really seem like there was anything wrong with her current situation.
I was gonna say that. Like how can anyone donate money to something that has no verification? If several of the comments from the people donating are actually literally saying that they're unsure and hoping that the money is going to the actual cause, you know something is wrong.

Huh? Allow me to retort on 2 things and issue a plea/challenge to you personally Flash and anyone else of interest.
1. I just gave my mother, who works in an outreach center for her church with a thrift store, 3 pairs of brand new shoes to give to some in need people. I specifically told her to give them not put them for sale in the thrift store because when I donate items, I want them directly in the hands of people in need.
2. I donate on a weekly basis through payroll deduction to the United Way. I give the minimum as its a high pressure donate thing as I don't care for the United Way's % of donations to giving.
3. I volunteer at Tough Mudder to support Wounded Warriors.
4. I participate regularly in the Give Back program at work. We just helped paint and tidy up a homeless center and troubled boys facility as our most recent days.
5. Next month I will make my 3rd trip to a state with legal weed sales, on my own dime, to purchase medical marijuana for in need cancer patients at a facility, again on my own dime, where I was/am patient. I know first hand the cost/toll that chemo and related treatments can take on a person and I know the benefits of marijuana. I have to make the trips as I don't know any local sellers and getting a medical card in my state in a long drawn out process. plus the laws here require non THC pot.
6. I work part time for a minor league sports team and we have a yearly teddy bear so I'm in the process of setting up a go fund me social media account in the hopes of raising $5000 to purchase a bunch of plush toys. The stuffed toys will be distributed to the local hospitals right before Christmas.
So, in spite of all those things, if I'm a compassionless piece of shit because I won't donate to a to former porn star, then I'm guilty as charged.
But moving on.
Secondly, moving on to the situation at hand. The article at hand seems to indicate that Jenni has a substance abuse issue. If I misinterpreted that, I'll admit I'm wrong. But as one who has 2 brothers who have 2 alcoholic/drug addict family members, I'll say this. Both have stolen from me, and I was beaten up once because of the one's action, so I do know a little bit about substance abuse. Both have also be through rehab, once forced and one once they hit rock bottom. The forced rehab doesn't stick because if an addict doesn't want help, they're only going through the motions. So until Jenni hits rock bottom, no one can help, and the articles I've read at no point indicate that she wants help.
Then let's say people then donate to a fund. Then what? Is someone going to search the tunnels of Vegas for her, or just blindly wire the money to her. If she's not clean, people are just enabling her habit. Or if she's not on drugs, then what. Who is going to actually find her? And, on the off chance they do find her, then what? She seems to be happy where she's at. But an apt in Vegas, with security deposit and other fees will be $2000, just to get in the door. Then what, utilites and other essentials another $500 a month, estimated only. After the initial fund runs out, then what, is everyone going to be required to contribute monthly to support her?
Lastly, Flash, my challenge/plea to you. Since you're enthusiastic to give to help people, will you donate to my Teddy Bear gofundme or Western Union me $20 to help my current causes that I'm working on? Western Union's fees are I believe $5 for $50 or less. I say $20 because the plushs I get at Target are $19.99 or 2 Squishmellows (really cool btw) at Costco for $9.99, or I can pick up 2-3 prerolled smokes at the dispensaries. Either way I'll post a shot of the receipt and purchase along with a Thank you here.

I'm going to piggyback on this. Let's say she gets the money. How do you know she's going to use it to get help? There's a saying "never trust a junkie". I've seen a ton of drug abuse/addiction. If the person isn't willing to take the step, it might be a lost cause. There's plenty of free counseling and plenty of other options if she wants to sort her life out. I'd love to help her. But, from personal past experiences, it's a gamble. Will she do the right thing, or won't she? Cool, that some of you have good intentions. I'm just saying be careful.
I guess u havent followed her very closely over the last couple of years. She has been living in some sort of garage for years and was always setting up some sort of gofundme pages for "broken" phones, cars, ...
^Why would he have? She stopped shooting years ago. And looking at what appears to be her twitter page, the stuff she was posting hardly makes her situation clear.
She is no longer in the tunnels, but living under a bridge, has a street boyfriend for companionship and safety, and unfortunately on a regular mix of drugs. She was offered assistance in the form of relocation into a private home, getting her IDs, enrolling into CalFresh and Medi-Cal, and counseling for both drugs and support therapy.
It is unfortunate but she declined the offer, as we refused to also take in the boyfriend. We have been in touch with a young relative of hers, as well as the Dutch producers (look up Fremantle - they are behind it), Help of Southern Nevada and Search A Light.
From the one hour face to face, we concluded that she is on the edge wanting the change, but is unwilling to let go of the boyfriend. While we are not doctors, we do believe she can recover, if she gets treatment now. The drugs are taking a heavy toll on her mentally and physically.
"I used to be so hot, but I'm happy... I have everything I need in here"- followed by a deep sigh. that got me good man. No doubt she hit the bottom and seemingly she's not willing to fight back, but I can still see some spark on her, I don't think she quite gave up yet.
You say she refused help, but people usually offer assistance under their terms. Everyone here is saying she has a drug addiction, this is clearly the main obstacle in convincing her to accept any kind of help. You have to negotiate with her, you can't just expect her to agree on rehab right away. I'm really suprised that no one from the adult biz, a former co-worker or employer tried to reach out for her. is it possible that she didn't make any friends in all the years she worked as a pornstar? She's still alive god dammit!
you do realise the adult industry doesn't help it's own right???
if you're not actively on camera shooting, the production companies and agents etc don't care about you - you're not earning them money and there's a million other girls just like you ready to hit the big time, so why waste time helping you?
that is their attitude to everything.... and it sucks!!! girls die purely because the industry doesn't help support them, and won't change in future either

^ I do understand your skepticism and to make it worse this is definitely not a behavior restricted to the adult business. However I'm talking about friends dude, has she not been able to create a single sincere friendship all those years? then she dies and all those people who used to work with her will finally show up mourning her death in their social medias. It just happened recently when Jessica Jaymes passed away, a bunch of idiots started to flood her social media with all kind of horrible comments, which is an unexcusable lack of respect... but then her so-called friends from the biz started to pop here and there, all of them outraged.
This forum ask us not to talk about pornstars as if they weren't here, so listen up guys: Jenni is still alive, maybe a familiar face can make this (until now) failed aid process finally start getting on track.
and again..... her colleagues within the industry are not her friends, and if she's not signed, then no agent or producer really cares where she is, she's not their problem
I get what you're saying, but the problem is, in an industry full of so many damaged and emotionally scarred people, friendships are not formed, they claim to be a family but none of them care about the other people unless they're offering money or a way to make more money
^^How is anybody here supposed to do anything? Or anyone in real life for that matter. Especially after we saw how the funding websites are immediately used by scammers.

Its true no one is obligated to help her and for sure these crowd founding things are always suspicious, but the whole situtation is just so sad. I don't know what others can do, I can speak only for myself. I have the willing but I don't have the means, which I assume is the same situation for most of you. idk.
