kamilla_werneck/InstagramAn evangelist adult film star has blown the minds of backward-thinkers by exercising her right to a career in whatever industry she chooses.
Kamilla Werneck, who has hundreds of credits on her CV for adult entertainment, went viral when she said God is totally fine with her career choice.
She told X-rated TV show Pornolandia about her Evangelical faith in the interview below:
Kamilla told the Brazilian TV channel she doesn’t believe her faith clashes with her career because she is a ‘good person at heart’.
Despite this, as Kamilla put it so eloquently herself, ‘people are very judgemental’ and she’s been getting it in the neck ever since for daring to be a porn star and a three-dimensional human being with views and opinions and – God forbid – a faith.
Kamilla added:
[People] try to make you conform in a way they think an Evangelical should be because society says so. But I don’t agree with this.
I think God sees inside our hearts. He judges the good and the bad things you do, and I do good things for people. I’m a good person at heart and that’s what matters.
The Rio-born adult actor wanted to be a ballerina when she was little, but had a sexual awakening as a teen which led her to pursue a path in the adult entertainment industry.
She said:
As a child, I wanted to grow up to be a ballerina. But I discovered I loved having sex when I was a teen and especially when people were watching.
One New Year’s Eve I was making out in a tent with a guy I’d just met, and people outside could see what was going on by the shadows cast from a light behind the tent.
It made me really excited and horny to know they were watching what we were doing.
Kamilla left home aged 15 due to family differences.
She explained the strain between them worsened in the years to come, when her devout parents couldn’t accept her decision to divorce from her husband of three years.
Afterwards, she was able to live as she chose with a woman.
She recalled how her lifestyle was shunned by her family, saying:
My family was really shocked when they found out. It took them a while to accept because their Evangelical beliefs and prejudice against gay relationships made it hard for them to come to terms with my decision.
They think it’s just a phase I’m going through.
That may well be the case, but one day I might shock them even more because I’m prepared to live with anyone so long as they make me happy, and that could include finding love with a transsexual.
To this day, Kamilla refuses to be defined by either her faith or her career, and has to struggle with death threats and online abuse from bigots.
She concluded:
I love my work and I want people to appreciate and respect what I do. It’s job where I make good money and I am successful.
I still have a normal life outside and when I get the chance I go to church with a Bible in my hand.
It’s a problem reported by many industry stars, and is closely tied into a damaging refusal in some corners of society to accept sexually liberated women with voices.
One such woman is Harriet Sugarcookie, a 20-something Londoner. She’s the face of – and brains behind – the world’s biggest ‘Safe For Work’ pornographic website; an oxymoronic business idea as complex and innovative as its leading lady.
UNILAD spent a few days in Budapest to find out more about the industry:
Harriet had a message ‘to the haters who don’t think porn is a real job’:
I mean, I can tell you what my business partner would say. He would say, ‘Well, we employ people. Do they employ anyone? Do they bring back into the economy?’ He’s very gung-ho about that.
But I think I’m more of a pacifist. I don’t really like upsetting people. I guess I don’t mind if people don’t think porn is a real job because it won’t stop me doing what I’m doing.
I take it very seriously and that’s enough for me.
HarrietSugarcookie/InstagramKeep doing you, Harriet and Kamilla!
