I've seen teachers getting their find out and they get.
Yeah, they get fired.
Yeah.
But they probably don't care.
They're probably making $30,000.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Okay.
How crazy is the money on there?
Like, was it day one or did it take a while?
So I had it in 2020 and it got taken
i took it down i made twenty thousand dollars in a week jeez yes and i just relaunched it and
i've made sixteen thousand in a week so my god not not as much i just relaunched it yeah uh
last month pays out what every month uh it it's kind of like an increments but
yeah so that's crazy for yeah it is stressful there's also another platform
I'm on called text Panther I can't see the s in front of it so they call it
text Panther and they actually have an app but they don't have it with Apple
They have it like you have to have test pilot app and then you could download that app and that is
I've been I mean $15,000 on that alone. So those two is like yeah, and that was just texting people
It's video calls. It's phone calls. It's like, I don't really like it. And it's really you. It's really me.
Yeah, it's really me, guys. Do you ever get annoyed?
Like, hey, guys.
I have been getting annoyed.
And so my agent's like, you need to like step it back a bit and like, you know, take breaks
because it can be, you know, they have a therapist on there.
Oh, wow.
And there's some weird guys on there, yeah.
They just be too demanding on there?
They're just very strange.
How many minutes do they actually get with you um
So it's like a max so like it's like five minutes, and then if you go over five minutes
It's like more so it's like $100 for five minutes, and I do that like yo
Yes, yeah
I know it's nothing, but when you like add it up and like you don't have to that's a lot bro you could just be like in the grocery store and they're like yeah
how are you doing what i'm saying five minutes is nothing for a hundred dollars bro it's been
five minutes already oh time wise yeah time wise that's nothing that's she can get on it
yeah yeah that's good money man but um you know i didn't start off doing this. I went to college. I got a degree in biology at LMU.
Wow, you're supposed to be a doctor.
Not a doctor.
Biology, I would say, is probably the least hard bachelor of science degree.
So I actually wanted to be a vet.
And that was â they don't get paid.
They get paid like $70,000 a year.
And you have to take the vcat and the mcat
and the jerry and she said 70 grand a year these days it really isn't like yeah because like to be
a doctor you just have to take the mcat but for to be a vet you have to do all of those yeah you know

I love animals.
All kinds of animals.
I have a dog lover.
Yeah, I have a friend.
She, her name's Applesauce. That's a dog lover. Yeah, I have a friend. She her name's applesauce
And then three wiener dogs
Yeah, and they just like it's like they're the AT&T bars
Yeah, so
Wait, that's a big change though. So like where did that change?
Well, I started modeling when i was uh 15. i was
actually like modeled for abercrombie and fitch and i'm 5 10 so i was 5 10 then and i was really
skinny and had no boobs and nothing and yeah that's what modeling was back then that was like
2012. uh 20 yeah 2012. wow and um so yeah i modeled full-time i was like doing e-commerce modeling i did rip curl
forever 21 foreign exchange all that stuff um and then around the time i would say
2018 i got my boobs done then they dropped me so why immediately you think that would have helped though i think so i'm confused no no so it
actually hurts no it hurts totally but i was just tired and i was worn out and i wasn't making any
money and i did it i did i did the entourage i was in the entourage movie in 2014 oh you were
i was the airline stewardess with tom brady you know that scene where drama, like the d*** video or whatever, where he's like, it goes viral.
I don't know if I can say d***, but yeah.
And so I did a couple of TV shows,
just like background, but it was still fun.
I got to meet Prince.
I was on the New Girl episode with Prince
before he passed away.
I've done a lot of cool, I've been on billboards,
music videos, actually just shot shot music video with Machine Gun Kelly
So I like machine. Yeah, I mean
Not machine. I got yellow. Ah, that's a big I keep like mixing the two up
I actually said that to me. He's like no, that's uh, that's not me
So, but yeah, he's like I haven't worked with him in a while
I'm like I remember like a song with them. So yeah, but
So I've done a lot
and then it changed uh yeah i just i did playboy and then that once you do playboy it's over
just it's yeah and then um i guess around 2020 is kind of when it's happened that's when i joined on
and as soon as i did it, I immediately regretted it.
And so I got off of it.
I made 20,000, but like take 20% off.
It's not much with taxes.
And then so how was the phase?
The first Playboy shoot was it like a full nude or like?
No. So I actually shot for Playboy U.S.
It was not full nude.
It was right around the time that his son took over and they went
but it was not nude anymore yeah remember that yeah it didn't do so well yeah i didn't i don't
ratings went down yeah i thought playboy was still yeah yeah well now playboy is back to like what it
is actually playboy is ruined now i would say because uh it's more just like if you google
online like playboy.com they're selling like clothes. They did an NFT I saw.
Yeah.
So I don't know what they're doing there.
They're licensing it out to people.
There's two guys, gay guys running it.
Interesting.
Yeah.
So when it comes to the magazine covers, how do they pick who's on the cover?
Is it a lot of politics?
No, you just it's it's really simple like the uh i know the uh the ceo of like playboy
and uh that's like international and they just they pick a girl that they like or has a large
following now so it used to be like you know they would pick like the most beautiful model or like
model-esque looking girl um the best one and put them on the cover and now it's just like who has the most
influence yeah that also models yeah the looks don't matter as much as they look do matter like
you start to be tall and like model s but you're it's not like it i would say influencers definitely
are taking over the modeling world like i know girls that are short and really curvy that are
like i'm modeling and i'm like
when i first started like they would have never been accepted so yeah we just had that six nine
girl model she was six nine she was huge six nine yeah she was like the tallest woman i've ever i
don't even know if like that's allowed she's actually i think she's getting his tallest
model right yeah yeah she needs to go in like New York Fashion Week.
That's a that's a tall girl.
She should. Yeah.
So so so how's dating for you?
How's your DMs looking?
I never look at my DMs. Yeah, right.
I don't know. I don't.
I have someone actually.
Well, they look they'll go through stuff,
but like I have a social media manager and stuff.
So, yeah, but i thought i
was talking about it no you weren't talking to me because i i still have control of my account but
um yeah i so what about the guys that's trying to holler at you in the dms you don't ever get to them
i i don't but i'm she said i'm right i feel like you're leaving money on your shot uh well now
she's leaving a husband on the table no i had an article come out in the daily mail uh that was actually like a pr thing um with my agency and uh i had millions of dms
from guys they're like i'll date you because it said you're too beautiful it was supposed to be
like a like a really crazy like headline to like piss people off you know yeah um and i had a lot
of hate comments just like when i did fresh and fit um
but i'm used to hate comments from fresh and fit oh because i wore the most like revealing dress
probably they've ever had on the show and i was like because you know what i totally get what
they're like pushing and i totally understand because i feel like it's just i'm 29 and when i
was like you know 15 or 16 like i don't feel like there was such
a divide between boys and girls like if there is now i feel like men and women down there hate
each other now it's weird or they hate they're like hate men it's like well yeah that's what i
would say because i look on tiktok i'm like oh my god i have to turn it off so i understand like
what they're saying they're like hey like a lot of these guys are like offing themselves or like they're alone.
And I totally get like their whole movement.
But maybe just like be more nicer, you know.
Wow.
So they actually changed her.
So are you dating currently?
Yeah, I have.
I'm in a serious relationship.
My boyfriend, he owns one of the biggest toy distributors in the united states of america
toy distributors so he does like blue products toys yeah i've mixed millions of dollars
there's a lot of money there so he's he's really he doesn't care but i mean i think i found my pot
kettle you know like i found my person but yeah i would say the majority of girls that do this
it's very hard and it was very hard
before i met um why though why do you think it's hard it's hard for men to accept that you're being
exposed i totally understand why like i grew up very religious so i understand like that whole
like uh you know being you know conservative and like and that's only for the person like you're special someone so i get that
um so i would say i guess it just all depends you know yeah yeah it's case by case and like i i like
when i watch like uh tiktoks and they're saying like giving advice when every person is different
every experience is different so you just go with it like I met Tony at a party and like I would never date a guy that I met at a party
you know probably meet him like at the grocery store doesn't know who I am but
that doesn't happen nowadays so what was it about him that you like I like him I
love that he didn't judge me he didn't he didn't judge anything about me or and he was very kind I've I
all the people in the past I've dated they're not terrible that they weren't
kind to me and it made me feel very insecure and he doesn't do that at all
so that's what I would say if you're a guy just be nice that's all some women
can be very mean I can you be mean some women i'm just kidding
some women don't like nice guys either right yeah you gotta have a balance i think you gotta be kind
of like i said as much as much yeah you don't have to be like super nice like oh i would do anything
for you but like turn off right yeah yeah well yeah i mean some every every girl is different
i'm not like i i think it's also when you get older like I'm 29 when I was younger
When I was 22, I was a terrorist like I literally I was like an emotional terrorist
You were that toxic really very toxic. Why I just was very insecure
You know I think it's like I also see a lot of guys
They're like oh go like if you're young like maybe like date maybe five ten don't go like 20 years apart
you know i dated guys that were 20 years older than me peterberg is one of them that's online
i can say that um and he was 20 years older than me and that was very toxic because why are you
with someone who's like what do you have in common with me um tony's 17 but he's also very like well-versed and like he doesn't judge me
so i don't know it just it just depends you know he understands you he understands me yeah but i i
i don't know i this all all this advice on dating um that i've seen online
it just it doesn't work like that it just happens sometimes it just happens like
i remember um i had an ex-fiance and we didn't work out because um he was really busy and just
there was so much distance and um things just didn't pan out that way but i would say that
was a successful relationship it was five years five years is a long time nowadays um and it just
happened i met him at a dinner um with my girlfriends and in uh malibu and i did not want
him to come to the dinner because i it was just a girl's dinner and she's like oh no he's paying
for it i'm like okay fine and i ended up sitting next to him and i was not nice to him but then
once we had conversation it was just like like immediately, you know, you know,
like when you know, you know, is that's what I say.
That's a saying.
Yeah.
I can't explain it, but you will feel it when you know and then you just go with it.
Don't be afraid.
Just take it and run with it.
So, yeah.
Have you ever had a relationship where he cheated on you?
Yeah. Yeah. Of course. and run with it so yeah have you ever had a relationship where he cheated on you yeah
of course probably every single one whoa yeah that's crazy yeah but i don't think that's a bad thing what no i just you know i don't think she said every guy so okay so now let's say if she
was like negative about it so like no i going to leave every guy that cheated on me.
She just said every guy she ever dated cheated on her.
So you're going to run into that.
Oh, yeah, no, I stayed with them, too.
And you were supposed to.
So how did you handle that?
Well, usually the cheating happened in the beginning.
So I was just, like, my ex-fiance, he cheated in the beginning.
And maybe I was talking to other people.
But I don't know.
The act of having sex with someone is kind of kind of like a very sacred thing for me um aside from just like
me whatever being with myself online but like uh when i'm with a man like it has to be like a
connection for me um but i feel like for men sometimes it's kind of just easier yeah sometimes and then when you do
fall in love with someone you're a guy i i think that it's much different and then it's very hard
to cheat um but it takes a while to fall in love so you know i i excused a lot of the like cheating
in the beginning and past relationships but yeah wow yeah and then when you're like in love then it's like well then
maybe maybe maybe that might be micro cheating um it totally is it's totally micro cheating but
um you know he was in like a open relation open marriage before me so so like i said he
understands it yes but we're not open so I guess we're just neither
of us are very jealous people oh yeah you laid out the terms and you both
agreed yeah I also think like the most important thing is like if you're going
to have a serious relationship with someone or marry them, they have to be your best friend.
First.
First.
Because you can't break your best friend's heart.
No.
So, yeah.
Treat your best friend differently.
Yeah, exactly.
People be best friends with each other 10, 20, 30 years, bro.
You got the same best friend.
But it's hard to break.
Yeah, it's hard to break that bond.
Yeah.
So I think that's important.
So I think friendship is.
Exactly.
Often do you guys, like, laugh? All the time. For real the time yeah so you guys are like just yeah yeah we just we were good yeah that's good
cool so you guys have any uh fun questions for me why did you get suspended on twitter oh my god um
how'd you know i got suspended on twitter because I was posting, uh, explicit content, but you can't post it. I know that's why I'm confused.
And then I try to get it back and it just didn't come back.
So even my like agency tried to get it back.
Wow. What is that the same for IG too?
IG, IG is so fun. So I actually have a best friend.
He lives in Russia and every every couple months he takes my account
down so yeah well he takes it down what did you do to him he's my best friend no like he does it
on purpose no yeah he doesn't remember so no no he's a hacker i'm just just kidding he's not my
best friend but he's not your best friend he'll whatsapp me before he does it he's like i see you
posting stuff and it's like he's just the weirdest guy ever and he's taken
my account down probably like 10 times but i always get it back up so he's obsessed with you
he's obsessed he's my number one fan wow yeah so he loves and hates you so much yeah i know he's
my number one man he wants you all to himself probably he wants the ultimate himself so um but
yeah uh the first time i was taken down i I actually did pay $5,000 to get it
back.
Yeah.
But, um, so.
Could you date a guy that made less money than you?
I could.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
I definitely could.
It wouldn't matter.
I have.
You have?
Yeah, I have.
Yeah.
I don't think it matters.
I mean, if you make your own money, I make my own money.
But I do notice that when I date guys who are very wealthy, like extremely wealthy,
they're very difficult people to deal with.
They're like children, you know, because they feel like, I don't know,
they feel like they just deserve, like, I don't know.
But they're just, yeah, stay away from, like, extremely wealthy men.
Do extremely wealthy men have bad s**ts?
No.
No, they don't have s**ts.
They just, I feel like a lot of, like, CEO or, like, power types, they do have a bit of, like, narcissistic tendencies. They, like, lack the ability to, you know, have empathy, you know, emotionally. I can see that. you know emotionally yeah yeah yeah so I
don't think they're bad people they're just like you know for themselves yeah
for themselves why do you think a lot of successful
woman struggle dating wise I see a lot of articles about this oh my god well I
would say I actually I see this all the time that they struggle with dating.
And I'm going to say something.
So my mom makes a lot of money and she works, you know, I don't want to say what she does, but she works and makes a lot of money.
And she didn't even see her.
Yeah.
And my dad, I think he felt emasculated is what he said
and i think a lot of men who i don't this isn't all men but you know some men who just don't have
their it's not even about money it's just having your own like gosh the words are leaving my
it's like a provider feeling yeah no no like you have your own thing going on whether
it's like you're a personal trainer or you're like you know you just have to have your own thing
going on instead of like just being like consumed by the fact that some your partner who's female
is making more than you and you're just like oh my god like this is i can't do this so a lot of guys
they will cheat on you to make themselves as butter it's an ego thing
so like if they're with if you're with a successful woman and you know you're insecure
or you know or you just need like men need their ego like a little bit you know they have to have
their ego you gotta stroke it a little bit yeah of course and that's not a bad thing. Everybody has an ego, big or small. And so I would say that men just feel like their egos getting crushed when the woman is more of the provider in the relationship.
And I feel like especially women, maybe they need to be a little bit more like submissive in other ways because they're so dominant in the relationship, like financially.
So yeah,
that would even it out.
Huh?
I'm extremely submissive.
Yeah.
Yeah.
In,
in,
in the relationship and in the bedroom.
But,
um,
I'm not submissive around like my friends or my girlfriends or guy friends.
Yeah.
So I'm,
I'm very like dominant alpha around them.
But when I'm in like a, like a relationship, like a love relationship, it's, I'm very like dominant alpha around them but when i'm in
like a like a relationship like a love relationship it's i'm very submissive that's cool yeah you got
any crazy party stories at the playboy mansion um no because the playboy mansion wasn't like
really like popping off when i was doing playboy like 27 it was okay but it wasn't like back in the day. That was more recent, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2017.
I would say there's just crazy parties in LA in general.
Have you ever had to sign a waiver before you enter an LA party?
NDAs?
Yeah, I've signed NDAs before.
But I would say going back to the party thing,
the craziest parties I've ever been to were in Ibiza or Ibiza. gotta go there how was that crazy it's crazy it's like it's like a euphoric experience
like you go there and it's it's in spain like an island off of the coast of spain yeah and
everyone's just strolling out of their mind and it's like day and night so like that's where club
space came from came from ib visa so like you'll start
partying at like like i don't know like 9 p.m at night until like 9 or 10 the next morning like
and you're just you're just going on how do you stay up that late yeah i can't do that because
you're on like contentlessly yeah and everyone's just like vibing and it's such a like and there's
it's all villas so like it's villa to villa
it's just outdoors it's all outdoors it's beautiful that's my vibe i like partying outdoors yeah i wonder i wonder how that come down is though like it's got to be nuts yeah yeah she
doesn't remember yeah yeah yeah that's that's that's gotta be insane though right yeah no it's
fun you guys have to check mike posner made a whole song about it yeah i took a pill in ibiza yeah i never knew what he meant until now but yeah you have the same
vibe and like mykonos or uh yeah where's your favorite place that you've been to i would say
the maldives the maldives it's insane good things about it yeah uh we gotta head out there wayne
who's some of your celebrity crushes that you actually like
yeah i'd hit that oh yeah um i would say maybe alexander skarsgÄrd he's just like very who's
that never heard of him yeah he just gives off like very like intense vibes he's uh he's an
actor i don't i don't know what he's been in, but he's been in movies. Okay. So.
Is that it?
That's the only one?
No athletes?
No?
I mean, I'm attracted to all kinds of people, but I don't, like, idolize anybody.
Like, yeah, no.
What would you say when you look for in a guy, like, what comes to mind?
Like, is it looks first?
I would say probably integrity, you know, like just it's not.
How would you know I'm back if he has integrity or not?
I would say just like how he carries himself or like just how he deals with things or people. Or I also like someone who's kind of kind of like dad vibes, vibes like you know like takes care of things and like i'm
like oh i forgot my hairbrush or my wallet or whatever he's got it like you know just someone
who's just like always like there this is this is so shallow but yeah integrity um i would also say
uh sense of humor does that matter sometimes yeah i'm just goofy too like in general so it's easy to laugh at me
um but uh i would say integrity i look for in a guy's integrity uh kindness and empathy so
that's it so no looks no no i've dated i mean my ex-fiancee was not a looker he was also shorter
than me i'm 5'10 he was 5'7 whoa yeah he used like people would stop him and said that he looked like Prince Harry
but
then he started to not look like Prince Harry anymore
I don't know if that's a compliment
yeah
so what are you working on
next and where
can people find you
what am I working on next well there's an article
coming out today on the Daily Mail
so look out for that What am I working on next? Well, there's an article coming out today on the Daily Mail.
So look out for that.
Is this going to be interesting?
No, it's just as crazy as the last one.
It says like online dominatrix.
You know?
Yeah, like tortures men online.
Oh, yeah.
Have you ever done dominatrix before?
Maybe.
Maybe?
I'd say yes.
Not on the record. Not on the record. But, yeah. so that's what's coming out today so that should be fun i'm probably gonna get a lot of hate messages like the last articles that's
perfect yeah no that's what i want so you like hate you embrace it i embrace it yeah because
you know why not good press bad red still press so it doesn't get to you mentally like some people
get hate and they just shut down.
I guess I'm just good at compartmentalizing.
You have to be, especially if you're in the entertainment world,
whether it's in the adult industry or not,
you just have to be able to do that and keep persevering
because you can't like...
In the beginning, I was.
Yeah, I was very...
