Former adult film actress Lana Rhoades expressed her desire for all her videos to be removed

Lana Rhoades, a former adult film star, has recently opened up about her strong desire to have all her past videos removed from circulation. The 27-year-old, originally from Chicago, embarked on her career in the adult film industry back in 2016 but ultimately decided to step away from it not long after.

Despite her immense popularity, even ranking as the most searched actress on Pornhub in 2019, Rhoades has been candid about the toll her career took on her mental health. In a 2021 interview on Harry Jowsey’s ‘Tap In’ podcast, she expressed her longing to delete all her videos, citing the complexities of ownership rights that hinder her from doing so. Reflecting on her journey, she admitted to having regrets and even stated that she would give up everything to regain her dignity and shed the public’s perception of her based on her previous work.

Earlier that year, Rhoades spoke out against the adult film industry, sharing some of the distressing experiences she encountered during shoots. In a conversation on the Three Girls One Kitchen podcast, she recounted one particularly traumatic incident involving coerced acts during a scene, highlighting the emotional strain such experiences had on her.

These challenges ultimately led Rhoades to make the decision to leave the industry permanently. In a discussion on the YouTube channel BFFs with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, she also touched on the financial aspect of her career transition, revealing a significant improvement in her financial status since leaving the adult film industry.

Rhoades’ story sheds light on the complexities and hardships faced by individuals in the adult entertainment industry, emphasizing the personal and professional repercussions that often accompany such a career path.
