| Jamie Gardner Member demicomix.com Carnal Comics - True Stories of Adult Film Stars 105 Posts 6/04 | Posted - Mar 11 2011 : 12:23PM Stephanie says she developed her porn actress persona because she was unhappy with her self because of being molested from 1 to 14 years old. XXXChurch says that Stephanie has told them that "Cancer saved my life." It is a weird statement to make because I wonder why God would let people get cancer. You would think that God could make people without them having the genetic tendency to get cancer, alzheimer's, blindness, schizophrenia, manic depression and other things physically wrong with people. I believe there is probably a God because our complicated world and universe is able to work so it makes me think that there is an intelligence behind it. I have met Stephanie Swift several times at conventions. At one of the conventions, a guy brought up a bunch of the same picture of her. She signed every one of them without asking to be paid to do this. The guy could have had dozens of the same picture. On one occasion, I brought up a few items for her to sign and she personally signed all of them. I was once at a signing for Gauge and Stephanie was hanging out at the booth. When Gauge saw the slick for Feeding Frenzy 1 that I brought up to her, she said "I'm surrounded by pee pees." As Gauge was signing 3 of them for me, Stephanie looked at it and laughed. After I handed Stephanie a slick to keep, Gauge signed it for her. http://www.demicomix.com/Carnal01.htm http://groups.yahoo.com/group/carnalcomics Edited by - Jamie Gardner on 3/11/2011 1:02:57 PM [Link] |

| Sheldon Member 263 Posts 9/04 | Posted - Mar 11 2011 : 8:44PM I saw the video she made, and it reminded me of Traci Lord's autobiography in that both asserted that after being sexually abused as minors, they wanted - and, in fact, desperately needed to recapture - their sexuality. They found a forum to do this in the porn industry. Yet, both chose to not to thank the industry for providing them with what they themselves regarded as a much-needed psychic boost. That ingratitude really, really annoys me. What also bugs me is she chose not to give a shout-out to those performers who helped her out financially when her breast cancer was in full swing. Do these omissions sit well with her new conception of 'born-again' Christian virtue? I suppose one could argue that if she did that, Craig Gross would not allow her in his group, so she had to make some sort of compromise in order to secure much-needed post-porn funds. But still...

| Katar Hol Member I know you're watching me. 419 Posts 2/07 | Posted - Mar 12 2011 : 5:12PM What she went through was a life examining experience. If this is where she's at in life, then I wish her the best. What I really do have a problem is with the video is the sappy, heartstring pulling guitar music, but then I shouldn't really be surprised. I've said what I've had to say on this. [Link] |

| silex Member 475 Posts 12/09 | Posted - Mar 13 2011 : 3:16AM 1. Stephanie has always been very religious. She hasn't "converted." She was always a big believer in God and wrote a lot about her faith in Jesus even when she was still performing. I know because she'd let me read her writing. 2. She told me two things about that interview: 1) that the xxx church "selectively edited" the interview to make it sound a lot more negative toward the industry than she intended, and b) she feels she's under a lot of pressure right now to denounce her past to some degree. She confirmed that she has mixed feelings about a lot of the things that were going on in her life "off camera," and that influenced her decisions and judgment at certain times. She confirmed that when she looks back she remembers being a lost soul who was in a lot of pain. And I will confirm, as someone who was very close to her for her final years in Adult, that she was not leading a particularly healthy or positive lifestyle. And that had a lot to do with the people around her. Stephanie is a fragile, giving soul who tries to take care of everyone, and she had a lot of people around her who were taking advantage of that and working her way too hard. I will tell you that the "Stephanie Swift" I observed was one of the most gifted, natural performers I'd ever seen, and it was easy to tell that she loved it and got a great deal of satisfaction from it. But were there other things going on in her life that weren't so good? Yes. Did her family disown her the entire time she was in Adult, which filled her with shame, and does she very much want to make sure she keeps their love and support now? Yes. (Even though one family member still won't allow her any contact with her nieces and nephews because of her past. In fact, even when Stephanie was going through chemotherapy this family member would not "forgive" her for having been in porn and offered ZERO love and support.) Keep in mind that the world (and many porn star's families), give a round of applause to anyone who comes out of the industry denouncing it and confessing how ashamed they are of themselves. That's what everyone wants to hear. I asked Stephanie if there was anything I could tell fans who are asking about her and are concerned about her and she said "Yes. Tell them that I'm saying what I have to say to survive. I have to give my life over to God because God and family is all I have left." She is struggling financially, as there is very little help for those of us in Adult who fall upon hard times or illness. It's not too hard to understand, then, why so many leave here feeling that they wasted their time. She is currently relying on government assistance, so any help you could offer is deeply appreciated. Make checks or money orders out to: Melodi Clark Address: P.O.

| KMB2476 Member 653 Posts 7/07 | Posted - Mar 13 2011 : 10:34AM As for her religious conversion, I just want her to be healthy physically and mentally. If she does end up condemning her past that would be disappointing, but at the same time her focus should be on what's best for her. Ken [Link] |

| pringles All-Star Member 1351 Posts 2/08 | Posted - Mar 16 2011 : 3:33PM After reading this thread, I contacted Stephanies friend and former performer Holly Hollywood to ask if the PO Box was still active. She called Stephanie last night and it is still good for anyone wanting to help. Stephanie asks that checks be made out now in her name rather than her moms. Holly said the cancer is still in remission and Stephanie is going to school. She is just having a hard time financially. Hope this helps. Melodi Clark P.O. Box 9864 Canoga Park, CA 91309 [Link] |
| Sheldon Member 263 Posts 9/04 | Posted - Mar 19 2011 : 8:08PM At 1:41 in the video, she states: "So I was under contract with Wicked from 1998 to 2004. I just got comfortable being out in L.A. and becoming someone that it didn't hurt to be, because it hurt to be the person that I was because of what happened to me when I was younger. So it's almost like I created another personality that was in complete control and didn't have those things happen so I didn't have to deal with the pain." Let's connect the dots, shall we? Being in porn, especially under a Wicked contract, enabled her to be someone that did not experience psychic pain (emoptional anguish, if you will)and instead experience complete control, i.e. empowerment. Apparently, Gross' people forgot to edit out that part. Bad for him, good for us. [Link] |
