It's kind of confusing when people keep using "she" and "her" in a discussion comparing the experience of three different female performers in the industry.

Because saying and doing are 2 different things. And when women say they want to totally be rid of porn it's impossible/unrealistic/just talk most of the time.
Maybe in the non-social media era could Performers leave and try to start a new life where they don't get recognized, but name or not it's impossible now. Their photos and videos are everywhere forever. All it takes is 1 individual from whatever new profession the woman is going to try entering to recognize them and they're burned whether that be from obtaining a job, keeping a job or advancing in said job.
While I understand the point you're making in some ideal world where all one has to do is change their name and "retire" that's just not the real world we're in. So, they "hedge their bets" if you will by keeping their name and their loyal fans for either a) possible returns and not having to start over after losing their entire fan base or b) keeping some $$$ flowing in through other avenues.
Bascially, women who leave in search of a "normal life" can tweet and say all they want about finding that normalcy but it's just not possible and in the back of their mind they know that so they keep at least their name to continue profiting off of it. I'm not saying it's the smart move, but I do understand it.
Here's an example for ya: Austin Kincaid. I was a huge fan of hers. She got out quietly and I believe entered a career in real estate. Her videos still exist on the web and deep on sites for companies she shot for. But social media wasn't a huge thing when she was Performing. No twitter, instagram, etc. still exists. However, her site still does. You can still pay for a membership and access the content on it. She was able to do a "best of both worlds" exit cause of the lack of social media making it easy for many to identify her if that makes sense.

^Yes to the above, although if she only shoots a few scenes and then exits, I think she'll be okay most of the time just because of the sheer quantity of material out there. But if you make any sort of impact on the industry, it's much more likely to follow you.
Totally agree In social media era videos are forever, they even keep uploading the same scenes on tubes after years of an actress' retirement thus making impossible for her to get rid of her fame and past, especially if she's good looking or did nice scenes. This might be the reason golden porn era will never come back... back then they could make dozens of good scenes and had the freedom to leave at whatever moment they would, meaning a more actress-friendly environment
^ all these "TEAMSKEET x <insert other studio name here>" in the lower right are older scenes repurposed for Teamskeet. That scene was released on Baeb.com in January 2017.
^ Absolutely....but the acid test for me will be if and when she actually produces some generally available scenes.

I don't think they've announced anything, but judging by her photoshoot with them and the way she's Tweeting about them, I'm willing to bet she signed a contract with Vixen
I don't give a shit what Leah said x-number of years ago. I just want to see her fuck. Like I care what a 20-something year old said about the porn industry.
Leah showed more class in not escalating the matter regarding Keisha's post than Keisha did in posting it. If Keisha had a problem with Leah then she should have addressed it with her personally, not put her on blast publicly.
^^ & ^^^ We've already discussed this, she isn't a redhead anymore, you can check on her IG. Besides I remember watching that scene in 2016 so it's not new. Maybe Passion HD had removed this scene and reuploaded it now, seems legit
It seems that just like their other website PureMature (the recent Ava Addams scene), PornPros are using old content from other sites because they don't have any left due to Covid.
