Now she's known as Belle

Knox and she's acting in porn

to pay her tuition.

You are probably right now

pound-for-pound

the most infamous student

in America.

How do you feel about that?

It's totally surreal.

I mean, suddenly all these

strangers know who I am

and have an opinion about me.

I could have never

imagined this.

As a feminist, as a woman

in women's studies,

taking part in porno-

pornographic scenes

sort of puts uncomfortable,

unnecessary stereotypes

about there for-

for lots of men to think is

the norm.

To me, feminism is not about

acting masculine or feminine,

it's about having the right

to act in any way we choose.

There will be lots of people

watching this

who will be feigning outrage

and yet, secretly,

probably looking at porn

quite regularly themselves.

Do you think there's a hypocrisy

in the way that people treat

pornography in America?

Of course.

You know, something like 80

percent of all online traffic

goes to porn sites.

She's only eighteen or nineteen,

so I think we underestimate

how, you know,

immature and naive she is.

Definitely.

We like to say that, you know,

porn is ok, whatever,

it's just a job.

Maybe she doesn't identify

with it.

She probably thought that

I'm gonna go out there,

do this, it's just a job,

it's not who I am-

I think you're right, and...

but...

also, you gotta own up

to what you do though.

Because at some point it can

become who you are.

If I'm honest, I've got a young

daughter, very young,

only two years old, but if she,

when she is your age,

decided to do this, I would be

pretty upset as her father.

I think the important thing

is whether

the person is doing it

by choice.

If you have a choice

I don't see why anyone

would have a problem.

The choice for me felt

really natural.

I've always been very

comfortable with my sexuality

and I've been watching porn

since I was twelve years old.

You know, you're a guest

on our show,

I don't-I don't want to

make you feel any kind of bad,

it just... for someone

to say that

"I've been watching porn since

I was twelve years old,

"and it empowers me",

to me it sounds like you have

something completely memorized,

uh, that you're saying.

I just-my heart breaks.

It really does.

Are you getting hostility

from men or women?

Definitely more from women.

I can't even go out

without being harassed.

I think a lot of women feel

insecure having a porn star

on campus and they're

probably mad

because their boyfriends

are watching my stuff.

Did she really just say that?

What about us?

We've totally supported her.

Come in.

Hey!

Did you see Piers Morgan

yesterday?

He was so brutal.

That's what I wanted to talk

to you about.

You really rubbed some people

the wrong way

when you said women on campus

don't support you.

Oh, that's not what I meant.

Well, that's what it

sounded like.

You have an entire community

of women rallied behind you.

I mean, maybe that doesn't

work for the story,

but I just don't think

that's cool.

Jolie, that's really not

how I meant it.

I guess I just wasn't thinking.

Well, if you're gonna be saying

stuff on TV you need to think.

You can't just say stuff

like that.

It's ok, I'll get over it.

I just wanted you to know.

Ok.

Are you going to do another

interview?

No, I'm going home.

We just don't understand.

Why didn't you come to us?

I knew you guys didn't have

the money.

You will always be our daughter,

and we love you, Miriam.

But I'm heartbroken.

I just don't think you've really

thought through

what this is going to mean

for the rest of your life.

I know what I'm doing, daddy.

Do you?

Paul.

Paul, wait!

Where are you going?

I have nothing to say to you.

Paulie...

So you sell these panties

to old dudes?

Well, the fans buy them

when you sign autographs

at these conventions.

They'll pay, like, 50 bucks,

so...

Wow, weird.

It's all part of building

my brand, or whatever.

I can't believe Paul

won't talk to me.

Give him time.

Well, it's really just unfair.

How did you expect them

to react?

They're conservative

and Catholic.

And you're their little girl.

I just wanted a little support.

Well, they have a right

to their feelings, too.

How do you feel?

I mean... when were

you gonna tell me?

We've known each other

our entire lives,

and I kinda feel like I was

the last person to know.

I really wanted to tell

you, but...

I guess I thought that if anyone

back here knew about it,

it would make it real.

You can't keep the truth

from me like that anymore.

We're best friends.

I know. I won't.

How often do you have

to get tested?

Every two weeks.

I have to do it to be able

to film scenes.

Isn't it scary?

I mean, aren't you afraid

you're gonna get something?

Well, yeah, of course.

But everyone tests,

so it's safer than hooking up

with guys at school.

And it's a lot more fun

because it's on my terms.

Do you really think that?

Yeah, I do.

I mean, when I'm in porn land

I feel welcomed.

Like those are my peers.

You can be whatever you want

and you won't get judged.

At school everyone judges me

and they-

they put me into categories.

It's empowering to be

who I want to be.

You're really good

at crafting arguments.

I've seen you making cases

on the debate stage,

I saw you doing it again

on talk shows.

But you're not on a talk show

right now.

You're talking to me.

And I feel like you're trying

to sell me on something.

I mean, if you feel so empowered

and if you love what

you're doing so much,

why do you seem so unhappy?

Love you.

I love you, too.

Will you please tell Paul

that I love him and I miss him?

I will.

Going to the airport?

Yep.

Where are you headed?

Vegas.

Vegas, baby.

Man, that's my town.

What's the occasion?

Bachelorette party.

Better be careful.

People get pretty wild

and crazy in Vegas.

Hey, wait.

You're that girl.

You're that porn girl that went

to Fernwood Prep.

I got a celebrity in my car.

Oh, yeah, I guess.

What's your name again?

I gotta watch your movies.

Belle. Belle Knox.

Why don't you come sit up front

with me, Belle Knox?

Hi there, sir.

Belle. You're a

naughty schoolgirl?

Yes I am.

I go to Bad Girl University.

Sign my picture?

Sure.

That's $20.

Can I take my picture with you?

Ok.

How about if I hold onto you

a little bit just like that?

Yeah.

Well, can I get a kiss

on the cheek?

Ok.

Man. You are so hot!

What're you doing later?

Or should I say who?

I'm a very busy girl.

I bet you are.

Hey Belle, tell them about

your new sex toy line

coming out next month.

Sometimes I'm a very

naughty girl.

I bet you need

lots of spankings.

I do. I can't get enough of 'em.

I'd like to bend you over

and teach you a lesson

for being so bad.

I can help discipline.

Uncooperative little girls

are my speciality.

Excuse us.

How are you doing, sweetie?

I'm ok.

Yeah?

This is intense.

I know, but just keep your head

in the game.
