And after a period of time, if their popularity would start to subside, they're not getting as many requests, they would go to a few studios and say, hey, how much would you pay for such and such to do anal? Like, you know, 15 K, 20 K, 30 K, 30 K. Okay. High spitter. Then he would go back to the girl. It's like, Hey, out of nowhere,

This studio just said that they would give you $30,000 if you would be willing to do anal. And I know you said you didn't want to do it, but you're not getting as many requests as you had been in the past. And you do that, they'll make a big deal of it, you'll become relevant again, and then your career's just going to start to skyrocket. She does it, but what happens?

What she never wanted to do and she did one time becomes something that she does all the time. Because once she does it, it loses its whatever. And they would just do that with girls over and over and over again. At the same time, they would convince them to do escorting. And it's like they would spend weekends or go on trips with guys. And it's like, well, there's a check. And there's a test.

As long as there's a check and a test, it's all the same, is the way they would present it to them. We're making the client get the same STD and AIDS panel, so they're clean and you're getting paid. So they just convinced them that, you know, so they were trafficking them. Wow. Because it wasn't on like a public site. It wasn't quite on the dark web, but it wasn't far from it. Or not.

That guy, Derek, he ended up serving time for sex trafficking because he was extorting girls. He would bring girls in from different countries, get them fake IDs, have them paid in cash, living in his own house, charging them rent to pay in their house, taking some of their money that they were getting paid as their agent and their landlord. Yeah.

and making the, the, the, the, the people who paid them, paid them in cash. So he would take the money and he decided how much they got. Shit. I'm gonna go to some, I'm gonna go somewhere pretty dark. Um, um, so I, I, uh, Ooh, So with guys, they would ask, do you want to do VIP parties? Do you want to bartend or whatever? You'd bartend shirtless, and you'd make $10,000, $20,000. And...

I would do stuff like that sometimes. And it was almost like, you know, it's kind of what we're talking about. Like, how do you ever get to, you know, this place? Like, how do you go from here to here?

Like, how do you go from, you know, me personally, the first magazine that I ever saw that, like, created a sexual thought in my head, it was, like, it was, I think it was, like, Matt, no, like, GQ, like, or the... I don't know, like a swimsuit version of Maxim or something like that. But it was just like a see-through bathing suit. How did I go from there to watching hardcore porn?

So doing porn, getting paid for sex. They're doing these bartending stuff. And then there was a high-profile company in the fashion industry that would have these parties. And they would bring out guys and girls to do these parties. And the girls would walk around naked. Guys would walk around in boxers, whatever, serve everyone drinks. I went there. It was in Paris.

Long story short, I went there and got drugged and raped by the owner of a very well-known fashion, what used to be the CEO of a very well-known fashion organization. And when that happened to me, I thought, it's my fault. This is what I signed up for. You know, this is who I am. And... Then I started trying to sabotage. I was towards the end of my career, so I started trying to sabotage myself.

started making a pretty clear plan to take my life. And I kind of looked up, like, I had this pretty strong pain medication. You know, like, how many pills would do the trick? Okay, well, take that number, maybe add two more. And I put them on the counter. And I'd separate them. It's like I took old school vitamins. I used to take the VitaPak, like an animal pack or whatever.

I'd take like 40 vitamins at once. So I'm like, I knew I could take a lot of pills at once. So I separated them so I could make sure I'd get them down, swallow them, wouldn't chicken out. And I set them up like that. Time after time after time, I just could never do it. And then this one day, I was filming in Atlanta, and it was a disgusting shoot.

People were urinating on each other, spitting on my face, in my mouth, stuff like that. And I'm just like... What have I become? I was like, I want to die. Can't undo what I've done. Got more money than I thought I would ever see. Growing up, food stamps, trailer, government housing. Got a nice Breitling collection and nice home. Do all the stuff. But I'm miserable.

And this is what I've made of my life. There's no hope. There's no hope. There's no way out. But I needed someone to agree with me. So I got paid from that scene, and the directors, on the memo of the checks, they would always write something grotesque.

Like, if the title of the movie wasn't sexually explicit enough, they would write something being antagonistic, knowing that you're going to have to give that check to someone. And I normally wouldn't do that. I would just... ATM, Dropbox, anything other than handing it to a person. But on this day, that was going to be my formula. I put the water on the counter. I lined up the pills.

The Wachovia that I banked at was across the street from the place that I lived. And I walked over there, had the check, waited in line, handed the check to the teller. And I waited. What did it say on the check? It's like gang bang or like something like that. And I wanted that person to, you know, some look of disgust. Best case scenario, say like, you know, how sick are you or something.

She said nothing, you know, deposited the check, handed me the receipt. You know, I got tears streaming down my face, pale, like, you know, shaking. And I defeated because I didn't get what I wanted. I didn't know what to do. And then I look up and she had walked around the counter and she put her hand on my shoulder and she said, Joshua, are you okay? Joshua, can I get you some help?

And Sean, that was the first time I had heard my real name in 18 months. Wow. And it just like, it just like woke me up. And I beelined it to my place and I called my mom and I hadn't, you know, my mom had been calling and texting me, didn't respond. I thought, you know, she's just reaching out to me because she feels like she has to, but I've lost the right of being her son.

I've disqualified myself. I think it was my pride, my shame. But I called her, and when she answered the phone, she lit me up. She, you know, good Southern mama, she cussed me out, you know, because she was worried about me. But then she said everything that I didn't think she would. She said, I will always love you and you will always be my son.

And you're so much better than the way you're living. Please come home. So right then and there, I called everybody I needed to call. I quit, I quit, I quit. And I subleased my place pretty quickly and left LA. But when I left, I didn't think I could change and I didn't have any kind of, it wasn't any kind of spiritual awakening, but I do think that was the Holy Spirit in that bank.
